Restaurant · Galindo

@postcardnews

Loro is a true Austin original, marrying the smoked meats of Texas barbecue with Southeast Asian flavors. Co-founded by Aaron Franklin (Franklin Barbecue) and Tyson Cole (Uchi), Loro’s communal picnic tables and sprawling patio draw crowds for brisket with chili gastrique, Malaysian chicken bo ssam, and inventive rice bowls. Eater Austin and Texas Monthly consistently praise its relaxed atmosphere and daring, flavor-packed menu. The drinks list, featuring Asian-inspired cocktails and local drafts, makes it a favorite for both lunch and happy hour. Loro’s fusion is as much about community as cuisine, embodying Austin’s collaborative food ethos.
