"An Urban Outfitters retail space at 2416 Guadalupe Street on the university campus that has hosted a rotating lineup of food operators. Over the years it has been used for fast-casual concepts and pop-ups, and it currently serves as a location for rotating vendors and dessert trucks." - Erin Russell
"Toronto chef Matty Matheson is hitting Austin next week as part of his current cookbook tour behind the simply titled A Cookbook, complete with food from Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ and drinks from Austin Eastciders and Topo Chico. For entry, people will have to buy the book at the Urban Outfitters’ space, which is available now. It takes place at Space 24 Twenty on Monday, October 15, from 6 to 9 p.m." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Drag outpost in Space 24 Twenty at 2420 Guadalupe Street appears to be closed as well, having never reopened after its summer hiatus; an Urban Outfitters staffer confirmed the location remains shuttered. The closure seems to coincide with the broader tax-related issues affecting the business." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A campus outpost of a hot dog spot located inside Space 24 Twenty on the Drag." - Nadia Chaudhury
"I spotted a new food truck on campus focused on traditional Mexican fare, particularly bowls of chilaquiles; at its most basic chilaquiles are tortilla chips covered in spicy sauce and cheese, but Chilaquil also offers more elaborate versions such as the Norteño bowl with chorizo and avocado and the Chilango bowl, a vegan option with salsa verde, nopalitos, and avocado. The menu also includes snacks like bolillo bread stuffed with beans and cheese and desserts like churros and flan. The truck originally opened in May on South First but recently moved to Space 24 Twenty inside the Urban Outfitters at 2420 Guadalupe Street while remaining mobile as needed. Owner and cook Orlando Aguirre, who is from Monterrey, told Eater Austin he wanted to bring this traditional dish to Austin because he couldn't find it in restaurants and thought a truck would reach more people; he runs the operation with his wife and brother-in-law and makes biweekly trips to Mexico to stock up on authentic spices and ingredients. Chilaquil is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and joins fellow vendors such as food truck Bananarchy and nearby brick-and-mortar spots Frank and Lucky Lab Coffee." - Erin Russell
