Breakfast in Austin?
John DeLuna
like to know a good spot for a Monday morning breakfast. Moderate price,
priority on the food, and...
1. A good place for American-style breakfast
2. A good place for Tex-Mex style breakfasts.
3. A good bakery perhaps?
Thanks all...

Our current favorite is Z-Tejas at the Arboretum. You can get both
regular American and Tex-Mex style there. The Upper Crust is still
our favorite bakery.

MacDonald's -- there is one pratically everywhere...
(hey, you said North Texas... :-)
seriously, though, 3 different recommendations for one breakfast?
and which end of town are you going to be staying at and how late
are you likely to get up?
(on the other hand, North Texans are probably used to drive for hours
to get to a good restaurant. Still...)
heck, I suggest you get some goodies at Central Market (so you seen that
too) or some bakery (Mexican or European) to picnic at Barton Springs
(after swimming a few laps), or at Laguna Gloria, Wild Basin, or the
WildFlower Center or at City Park, or at Lake Travis, or even drive
out to Wimberley to see some of the Hill Country (too late for most
wild-flowers though), or go to George's Bakery out in Fredericksburg
(less than two hours drive... i.e. within range for a N.T. :-)
ah, bad the weekend has already started and you are probably already
on your way here...
well... Never mind! (I'll always think of Gilda at this point... :-(

on its reputation for years. Average breakfast food with
some clever twists, served by Austin slackers that know they
are way too cool to be serving food.
Instead, I'd recommend a short drive east of I-35 to Cisco's,
for a delicious Tex-Mex breakfast. I highly recommend their
Migas and Fajitas. Cisco's is on 6th, about 10 blocks east
of the highway.

The first few times I went to Kerbey Lane (the one on Kerbey Lane) I
was not terribly impressed. But I've been to the new location near
campus and really enjoyed it a lot. The atmosphere is much better
(much friendlier and not so crowded) and the food has been much better
than anything I recall getting at the original location.
I've not tried any of the other locations, so I can't compare beyond
that. But after having been to the campus location a few times,
Kerbey Lane has moved from my "eat there if everything else is closed"
list onto my "hope to go back soon" list.

Kerby Lane - I used to love, in the last 10 years, it has gone down hill. I
would have to recomend only for historic reasons, or late night. Great
pancakes, good american fair, decent tex mex...
Magnolia Cafe - Kinda like Kerby, but I think they have become better over
the years. The menu expanded, and the food has kept a decent quality. It is
still a "slacker" type hangout -- and both locations have been around quite
a bit, -- and there WILL probably be a wait for breakfast.
My FAVE for Tex-Mex breakfast ( And nobody has brought it up yet! ) Las
Manitas ( avenue cafe )on congress downtown. This has got to be one of the
best breakfast or lunch places ANYWHERE in town. There Migas are great,
their Refried beans are great, they are cheep, and fast. For lunch they are
usually crowded, for breakfast I have never had to wait. Some people dont
like the hurried place, and to go out through the kitchen to get outside
if you like to eat on the patio).
As for other places, well, take your pick, there are lots of things out
there depending on your mood. G&M ( lamar )for a great greasy spoon
breakfast ( what it lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in taste and
cholesterol), ...of course anyplace else is escaping me now...
hope i was of some help

I agree. I'd also add El Sol y La Luna on S. Congress, Polvos on S. 1st,
and Curra's on Oltorf. IMHO, if you're going to eat breakfast out in
Austin, you've got to eat Mexican (or Tex-Mex or Aus-Mex or whatever you
want to call it).

Kerbey Ln too, and that it's not just me. Haven't been to the newest one
yet because I swore never to go to the older ones again.
Don't get me wrong, I like the Austin slacker thing -- okay, I AM an
Austin slacker -- but Kerbey's recent service defies slackerdom and is
nothing short of incompetent. In my experience, the orders are seldom
right, the cooks shun hairnets, and the coffee sucks. Why wait 45
minutes for a table when the outcome is pretty much a given? I WANT to
like Kerbey Lane again, but I think it's a lost cause.
Magnolia is a little better, but inconsistent.
Laura's Bluebonnet and El Sol y La Luna are, for my money, the best
breakfasts in town. I've never been to impressed with the Omelettry.
I also have the scoop on the BEST breakfast tacos in town, but I'm not
going to reveal the location because it's already getting too crowded.

Very good recommendation. I ate breakfast at Las Manitas with a friend
recently. I look forward to my next "business" breakfast/lunch there.
I've always enjoyed breakfast at Trudy's - but I can't tell you much
about the menu because I've not ordered anything but migas ... and a
Bloody Mary, of course.

They had excellent choritzo and breakfast items.

Never ate there - so I can't tell you; but I do recommend Las Manitas.
BTW - if you're in Round Rock, pick up a dozen donuts (Round Rock
Donuts) at Lone Star Bakery. Not nearly as good as the beignets (with
cafe au lait) at Cafe du Monde (New Orleans) - but as one who spent
many years of his life in and around the City that Care Forgot, I'm
prejudiced. RR Donuts ARE worth the price, however. FWIW - there is
probably a normal person's equivalent of one week's worth of fat in one
RR Donut.

Sure, they're still there. They also have a place
on South Lamar, across from and a bit north of the
Genie Car Wash. Same food, sometimes the same staff.
I've never understood the attraction to Las Manitas.
Their food is OK, but I'd put their migas in the 2nd
tier, at best. Curras (inconsistent) and the South 1st
El Mercado are usually reliable, with Maudie's and
Guero's being rather hit-or-miss. Trudy's migas are
just plain awful.

food to be ok but thought the service was absolutely hideous...servers would
practically throw the food down in front of you like they were paying YOU to
eat there...El Mercado has always had great food and great service...I find
that Maudi's on south Lamar is fairly consistent with food quality and great
service.

Compared with what around here? There is no place in Austin that
serves "outstanding" migas, but of the place that do, Trudy's isn't
bad. For authentic migas - you have to go to El Paso ... or Tucson.

The Highlife Cafe at 407 E. 7th (@ Neches) is an outstanding breakfast
restaurant. French press coffee, steamed eggs (it sounds bad but they are
great) and the waffles are the best I've ever had. Check out the rice
pudding, it is different and isn't typical of a breakfast menu but it is
worth while. The atmosphere is old time Austin, laid back. The building is
an old carriage stop from the 1800's. It is worth checking out and
certainly a place to take someone from out of town to show them what Austin
used to be like.

I've only had migas at the north Burnet Trudy's, and
they were soupy, with peppers that could best be described
as "bell". At least El Mercado and Curra's don't drown
'em in cheese, have a good amount of tortilla chips mixed
in, and use SERRANO peppers. A mild plate of migas isn't
a treat.

Migas ain't supposed to be soupy - and any restaurant/cafe that serves
them that way ough to be burnt down and the ground sowed with salt.
I've not had soupy migas at Trudy's near UT ... yet ... so I'll cut
them some slack. They are mild, however. As for peppers - I assume
that most places serve a mild plate of migas because most people aren't
used to having the heat kicked up a notch or two. Not so in El Paso
and other points west.

I ate there the other morning and the service and food were just fine (at

Only time I ate at Las Manitas, the waitron argued with me when I asked
for more serrano chiles to go with my aigs. He told me that the house
salsa was too hot and I shouldn't eat hot food. This was back in the
'80s.

butter; awesome breakfast tacos w/ potatoes, egg, cheese and sausage.
kerbey lane on research got bad ratings on channel 5's health inspection
report, and from having been there a few times i believe it, so i would stay
away from there.
las manitas is great if you like chicken bones in your paco's taco plate and
walking through the kitchen to get a table.
