😤 BURGER OF THE MONTH 😤

always does a fantastic job with their LTO’s 🫶 that’s industry lingo for “LIMITED TIME OFFER” - often some sort of seasonal special or monthly special 💅 don’t say I never did anything for ya 😘

ANYWAY - I was worried that I’d be all burnt out on the smashburger but the two slices of rich American cheese pulled me back in baby 😆 and it is a great burger, right thickness for me, onions are nice, jalapeños are nice, bun is nice - wouldn’t have minded a little mustard in the onions or something - but not complaining 🫶

You already trust HD to make great burgers with quality ingredients - trust me, you’ll want to try their smash too 🤜🤛

✨ MUST TRY $3 BREAKFAST TACOS ✨

on East 5th is the real deal 🌮🔥

This spot is pulling a 4.8⭐️ on Google (198 reviews) — and once you try it, you’ll get why. People rave about their migas plate being “one of the best in Austin,” their pastor tacos that come stacked with radish + cucumber, and the kind of service that makes you feel like family. 🙌

Here’s what sets them apart:

🌽 Homemade corn tortillas that hit different — soft, warm, and perfect for soaking up all that flavor.

🌶️ House-made salsas & sauces that bring heat and balance.

🥤 Aguas frescas that actually taste fresh (none of that watered-down stuff).

🥓 Breakfast tacos for just $3 (!!) — no better way to start your morning.

And guess what? Even with all this, lines are usually short. That’s a rare Austin blessing.

📍 3409 E 5th St, Austin, TX 78702

🕓 Hours:

Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat, Sun: 6AM–3PM

Fri: 7AM–9PM

From breakfast to dinner, Taqueria Fenix is serving up some of the most authentic Mexican eats in the city. If you’re serious about tacos, this is one of those must-visit Austin gems. 🌟

🫶 BEAUTIFUL FOOD 🫶

I’ve spent a lot of time at the past 2-3 months and I’m lucky enough to have tried a lot of really great food in the process 🥵

does a little work for them and they make it very easy to capture beautiful images ✨

I think my favorite concept in the hotel is - it’s a beautiful space and the food delivers 😋 I just assumed it would sort of watered down for a fancier audience 🫣 but it really does deliver on flavor

also has some really gorgeous food that tastes even better than it looks 😍 both are very nice - great service - and a price to match

It may not be for everyone, every day - but there’s a good argument to keep in your rotation of “special occasion” spots (at minimum) 🥳

If you just wanna ball out anyway - hit up one of their relaxing dinner concepts, then hit for a little more vibey experience ✨

Hope ya have a great day - hug your friends - be nice to strangers - eat good food 👌

🥵 🥵

Masa Magic in South Austin 🌽🔥

I just found my favorite new food truck in months 👀 and it’s all thanks to the masa. Nixtamal ATX is crafting hand-made tortillas from heirloom corn, and every bite tastes like tradition and innovation had a perfect little baby.

Their menu leans into authentic regional Mexican flavors 😋 with cochinita pibil, rich Nixhuarache loaded with black beans and queso fresco, and an Empanada Pakal that comes stuffed with everything from shrimp a la Mexicana to rajas with quesillo.

BUT THE BIGGEST REASON TO VISIT TODAY…

The Heirloom Quesadilla. It’s hands down the best quesadilla I’ve had in a long time — molten Oaxacan cheese inside a tender, flavor-packed blue corn tortilla that makes you rethink every quesadilla you’ve eaten before.

📍 Location: 440 E St Elmo Rd A1, Austin, TX 78745 (next to Austin Winery)

🕒 Hours:
• Mon–Thu: 8 AM – 3 PM
• Fri: 8 AM – 8 PM
• Sat: 8 AM – 6 PM
• Sun: Closed

💵 Price: $10–20 per person

If you care about masa done right — or you just want one of the best quesadillas in the city — make this your next food stop 🫶
