Great Grub Spots for all the SXSW-ers
- robotron 18y agoAs a native I have to chuckle at this. #1 Gueros is overrated. #2 Stop crowding my restaurants! #3 There's more than TexMex and BBQ but have at it I guess...
- SwellJoe 18y agoThai Passion. My absolute favorite weekly lunch spot, and the best late night eats downtown. Go on Thursday at lunch for the curry of the day. It's the best panang curry I've ever eaten anywhere (and I live in the valley now, where I live within walking distance of five good Thai restaurants that all serve panang). It's not as good when ordered off the menu, as it hasn't had as long to simmer...the green beans aren't supersaturated with deliciousness the way they are at lunch on Thursday. All of the curries of the day are awesome, but panang is my favorite. Mus mun on Friday might be preferred for folks that like yellow potato-filled curries...but if you can't be there on one of those days, any curry at this place is awesome. Marakesh Cafe and Grill is another good lunch spot...always crowded at lunch. The falafel sandwich is a lot of food for not much money, and it's almost always delicious. The lunch specials are also often very good (rarely vegetarian, though, unfortunately, so I mostly ordered off the regular menu). Not fancy, just really good food.
