Austin

Eater: We've never gone home unhappy after a visit to Matt's, thanks to their Bob Armstrong dip, affordable range of price points and dedication to classic Tex-Mex. [Eater 38 Member]

SPIN: Fiending for some authentic tex-mex? Gueros has you covered. More than covered.

Jason Falls: ORDER a margarita! Just do it.

Chic: It's like Jimmy Buffet took a shit in here.

Eater: John Lewis continues to turn out some of the best barbecue in the city. Their beef ribs are especially fine and massive. Wash down some sausage with live music on the weekends. [Eater 38 Member]

SPIN: BEST BBQ this side of the Mississippi! Chow down on some ribs while over looking the beautiful hill country in Driftwood. But it’ll cost you: this little piece of heaven is 20 miles outside Austin.

Minh Tran: Try the blistered shishito peppers to get things started.

Thrillist: This luxe Tex-Mex spot's offering up five kinds of ceviche, guava-glazed pork ribs, and three-day mole duck breasts. Read more.
