Like Chick-Fil-A except they're open Sundays, serve booze, and don't hate gay people! Plus, they source way better quality meat and have much delicious food - try the spicy chicken sandwich 'superfly'!

Cute little spot with decent vegetarian/vegan food. I recommend the veggie royale, the vegan BLT, or the potato leek omelette. Cheap mimosas, good coffee, very 'austin' vibes. Elijah Wood lives in this neighborhood and is spotted here frequently. OOOOOOoooooOOO!

Crazy little vegan/health restaurant nestled in the trees. Home to a yoga studio and a private school, with a strange almost cafeteria-like restaurant. They only serve one meal per day (set menu) but it's usually very good - and extremely healthy. No alcohol here. Very old school Austin.

This taco truck serves some of the best (and cheapest) tacos in Austin. Traditional mexican street food made to order right in front of you from Yolanda Guerrero herself - the sweetest Abuela you will ever meet. Brush up on your Spanish before you hit this place if you want some good practice, and order the Carne Asada if she has it (she runs out of food through out the day, so she closes when she's out of too much stuff - best to see her before 2pm).
