One of my very favorite spots for breakfast but they are also open late night. Try the yogurt with homemade granola and fresh fruit/honey or the home made poptarts. The chicken and waffles is to die for!

Iconic mexican food. A must stop! I recommend the Tortiilla soup. Also very popular for happy hour! If you want a secret Austin Margarita that's not even on the menu, ask for the 'Mike Hall". It will cost you about $20 but oh no good! Big enough to share.

Worth a visit to get a glimpse of this ever changing street art graffiti site. Park on any side street nearby and walk down to get a close up view. Fascinating works of street art are beside simple spray paint hearts that love birds added the night before. Its never the same. Wear your tennis shoes or something with good support if you want to hike around the area.
