Best tamales I've had were from a latina gal who went around selling them door to door. Originally Posted by TGFBI

But I used to buy them at a place on Congress just south of Town Lake - or Lady Bird Lake (sounds weird). But it is gone! I thought an old friend down that way was gone too! But she is not, Dagny (NO E thank you) is still around). Interesting visit this time down south.....more later.
I watch the food network...and they listed Juan In A Million's restaurant, in Austin, as having one of the best tacos in the country. Has anyone ever been there?

One of my favorite Tex-Mex restaurants is Vivo's off of Manor Drive...very cool place and they have awesome margaritas!
Yes, Juan in a Million has great breakfast tacos, get the Don Juan or barbacoa, get 2-3 extra tortillas if you get the Don Juan.

El Borrego de Oro for the lamb soup or the chicken mole. El Pollo Rico for the kickass charcoal-grilled chicken, the avocado-serrano death sauce, the sweet grilled onion... I've tried a lot of dishes here, and everything's great, but really, go for the roasted chicken.
