Gloria's Latin Cuisine
Austin
Gloria's Latin Cuisine brings a Tex-Mex and Latin menu to the Domain area in North Austin, with a sit-down dining room that leans more festive and full-service than your typical taco stop. Expect a mix of Mexican standards and Latin dishes alongside cocktails, in a part of town better known for shopping and tech offices than for sit-down restaurants.
Ember Kitchen
Austin
Ember Kitchen sits inside the Northshore building just off Lady Bird Lake, putting it within easy reach of the downtown trail system and the Cesar Chavez waterfront. The kitchen leans Latin American, and with dinner-only hours starting at 5 PM, it's set up more for an unhurried evening meal than a quick lunch stop.
Velvet Taco
Austin
Velvet Taco is a Texas-born spot that trades in globally inspired tacos served on flour or corn tortillas — think Korean fried chicken, falafel, or Cuban pork rather than the standard taqueria lineup. The downtown Congress Avenue location keeps late hours, with the kitchen running until midnight midweek, which makes it a reliable stop after a night out.
Uchi Austin
Austin
Uchi occupies a converted bungalow on South Lamar, where chef Tyson Cole's menu leans on Japanese technique while making room for Texas ingredients and a rotating list of daily specials. Come early and you'll catch happy hour, when some of the more inventive small plates and sashimi land at lower prices than the dinner menu.
Acre 41
Austin
Tucked into San Antonio Street just west of the UT campus, Acre 41 is a restaurant and bar that opens early enough to catch the breakfast crowd and stays on through dinner. The all-day hours make it an easy stop whether you're after a morning coffee, a midday plate, or an evening drink in this walkable stretch of West Campus.
De Nada Cantina
Austin
Here's an editorial description for De Nada Cantina: De Nada Cantina sits along East Cesar Chavez in Austin's East Side, serving tacos and Mexican fare in a neighborhood known for its mix of longtime Tejano roots and newer arrivals. You'll notice the laid-back patio scene first, and the kitchen stays open late—until midnight on weekdays—making it an easy stop for a relaxed dinner or a round of drinks.
The Little Darlin'
Austin
The Little Darlin' is a South Austin spot where the kitchen and bar share space with a sizable outdoor area shaded by oak trees, leaning into the laid-back, dog- and picnic-friendly feel that the city's southside is known for. Expect a casual American menu and a late-night close, so it works as easily for a midday bite under the trees as for a drink well past dark.
Tacodeli
Austin
Tacodeli's Spyglass location sits at the edge of the Barton Creek greenbelt, a longtime Austin staple for breakfast tacos served on house-made tortillas with salsas like the cult-favorite Doña, a creamy serrano-and-avocado blend. Expect a counter-order setup that fills up fast on weekend mornings, plus a small patio that's pleasant when the weather cooperates.
Salty Sow
Austin
Salty Sow is an Austin gastropub on Manor Road where the menu leans into nose-to-tail cooking, with house charcuterie, deviled eggs, and rich plates like duck fries alongside a rotating list of cocktails. Note that it's dinner-only, opening at 4 PM, and the kitchen tends to fill up early on weekends, so a reservation is worth making.
Las Trancas Taco Stand
Austin
Las Trancas is one of Austin's longtime East Side taco trucks, a no-frills stand parked along Cesar Chavez where you order at the window and eat at picnic tables out front. The tacos al pastor and barbacoa are the draw, served on doubled corn tortillas with a squeeze of lime—and the late-night hours make it a reliable stop well after most kitchens have closed.
Roaring Fork
Austin
Roaring Fork serves wood-fired American fare in the Stonelake area of northwest Austin, with a menu built around open-flame grilling, smoked meats, and Southwestern-leaning sides. Expect a warm, lodge-like dining room and dinner-only hours, so plan an evening visit rather than a lunch stop.
Suerte
Austin
Suerte is an East Austin restaurant built around masa, with house-nixtamalized corn turning into tortillas, tetelas, and other antojitos rooted in regional Mexican cooking. The dining room opens onto an exhibition kitchen and an outdoor bar, and dinner service tends to fill up, so a reservation is worth sorting out before you go.
Tacodeli
Austin
Tacodeli is an Austin-built taco spot where the morning rush centers on breakfast tacos and the house salsas — the roasted, garlicky salsa doña has a near-cult following among regulars. Show up early, since the kitchen opens at 6:30 and the line tends to form fast around the counter.
Snooze, an A.M. Eatery
Austin
Snooze, an A.M. Eatery is a Denver-born breakfast-and-brunch spot on North Lamar, known for creative riffs on morning classics — think pancake flights where you can mix and match flavors, and Benedicts that wander well beyond the usual ham-and-hollandaise. Expect a wait on weekends and a morning-only schedule, since the kitchen closes by mid-afternoon.
Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q
Austin
Rudy's is a Texas barbecue chain that started as a converted gas station, and the "Country Store" name is literal — you'll order your brisket, sausage, and turkey by the pound at the counter alongside shelves of snacks and Rudy's bottled "Sause." Come hungry and don't skip that sause; the meats are sold by weight, so a small group can sample widely without overcommitting.
CAVA
Austin
CAVA is a fast-casual Mediterranean chain spot in North Austin's Domain area, where you build your own bowls, pitas, or salads at the counter — choosing a base, dips like their roasted red pepper hummus or tzatziki, proteins, and toppings down the line. Expect a quick, customizable meal with plenty of vegetarian-friendly options, and a kitchen that stays open late into the evening.
Bird Bird Biscuit
Austin
Bird Bird Biscuit serves buttermilk biscuit sandwiches out of a small spot on Manor Road in East Austin, with fried chicken, bacon, and vegetarian options stacked between biscuits made fresh throughout the morning. Keep in mind it's a breakfast-and-lunch operation that closes by mid-afternoon, so plan to go early in the day.
Red Ash
Austin
Red Ash sits on the second floor of the Colorado Tower downtown, where the kitchen leans on a wood-fired grill and a hand-made pasta program rooted in Italian cooking. Come hungry in the evening—it's dinner-only, and the room fills up once the after-work crowd settles in.
Black's Barbecue Austin
Austin
An Austin outpost of the long-running Black's family barbecue operation out of Lockhart, this Guadalupe Street spot sits within walking distance of the UT campus and serves the central Texas standards: brisket sold by the pound, house-made sausage, and oversized beef ribs. Order cafeteria-style at the counter, where the meat is sliced to order in front of you and sides like creamed corn round out the tray.
Veracruz All Natural
Austin
Veracruz All Natural built its Austin reputation on breakfast tacos, and the migas taco — scrambled eggs with crispy tortilla strips, cheese, and pico — is the one most people come for. The downtown location on Cesar Chavez opens early and keeps the same fresh, made-to-order approach that grew the brand from a food trailer into a local favorite.
Taqueria De Diez (D/10)
Austin
Centrally located on Trinity Street just steps from the Convention Center, Taqueria De Diez (D/10) serves tacos and Mexican fare in downtown Austin. It keeps a midday-to-late kitchen on weekdays, making it a convenient stop for lunch or an early dinner before exploring the surrounding district.
Kerbey Lane Cafe - South
Austin
Kerbey Lane Cafe's South Lamar location is part of a long-running Austin institution known for serving its full menu—from gingerbread pancakes to migas and Tex-Mex plates—around the clock and across the day. It's a casual, come-as-you-are spot, and the queso and signature Kerbey Queso bowls tend to be what regulars steer first-timers toward.
Gourdough's Big Fat Donuts & Coffee
Austin
Gourdough's slings oversized, deep-fried-to-order donuts piled with toppings that lean unapologetically over-the-top — think glazed rings crowned with bacon, fried chicken, or whole grilled sausages alongside the sweeter options. You'll find it in a small spot on South 1st, part of the South Austin food scene that helped put the city's donut-as-a-meal reputation on the map, and it stays open late into the night.
Corinne at The Domain
Austin
Corinne is the all-day restaurant inside the Kimpton hotel at The Domain, Austin's shopping-and-dining district up north, serving a menu of American comfort cooking with a retro mid-century lean. It runs breakfast through dinner, so it works equally well for an early plate of eggs before shopping or a cocktail and dinner after.
