Best Things I Ate in Austin 2019

Usually I think it makes sense to write about the best NEW restaurants at the end of the year, but I decided to switch things up and make every restaurant fair game. Why? Because they still count and are constantly evolving their menus or perfecting their service, so let’s not forget about them! (The first 7 are new restaurants and the last 10 are older).

2. Uncle Nicky’s – Sardines and Saltines
3. Vixen’s Wedding – Piri Piri Chicken and Paratha Bread
4. Asador– Chicken Tacos

6. Nixta– Sweet Potato Taco
7. Oseyo – Hwedup Bap aka Raw Fish and Seasonal Vegetables with Sweet & Spicy Sauce over Rice
8. Lenoir – Whole Roasted Fish with Goan Crab Curry
9. Il Brutto – Burrata Pizza
10. Koriente– Obake Bowl A with Tuna (when you need something that tastes home cooked!)
11. Carpenters Hall – Turkey Club
