"Ever since it first opened in 2021, this Montopolis bar, food truck hub, and unofficial clubhouse for local artists of all stripes has prioritized its community and sought to become a welcoming haven rather than an out-of-place novelty." - Taylor Tobin
"The sudden closure of Montopolis cafe and bar Ani's Day & Night in late December 2023 has impacted two on-site food trucks, vegan pizza truck Li’l Nonna’s and Caribbean food truck Nyam Sunshine Cuisine, at 7107 East Riverside Drive." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Montopolis cafe and bar’s Wednesday special includes half-off all bottles of wines. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler
"For people looking to quench their thirst in the Montopolis area, this cafe and bar is the best game in town. Based in a 1930s-era Victorian house and named after the dwelling’s former matriarch Aniceta “Cheta” Limon, Ani’s serves a variety of cocktails and creative coffee concoctions. Try the Bubble Pop Electric (honey, grapefruit juice, and sparkling water topped with espresso over ice). Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Eric Webb
"Austin Cuban sandwich pop-up-turned-truck-turned-pop-up-again Oye Chico is back in food truck form this week. It'll be parked at Montopolis cafe and bar Ani's Day & Night starting on Tuesday, July 24. Owner and chef Carlos Suarez's menu include the classic Cuban sandwich, plus new dishes like a burger and a fried chicken sandwich. Suarez started Oye in 2021 as a pop-up and then opened up the trailer in August 2022 parked at Better Half. That closed later in November, but then he restarted pop-ups that same month. Its hours will be from 4 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and again from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and then from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday." - Nadia Chaudhury
