Chrissy Koch: Cypress Grill does a French toast made of real French bread. Scrumptious.
Tyler N: I thought the gambling specials like the Sunday coin flip for a free dessert was fun. Favorites are the Crawfish Étouffée, Crab Cakes, Boudin Balls, House made Sodas, and Seafood Gumbo

African Restaurant · South Lamar · 11 tips and reviews
Dave S: My favorite food truck in Austin. Smoked brisket meat wrap was the special of the day when I visited, highly recommended. Cold brewed coffee too.
Cooking Channel: A fusion of flavors and styles influenced by Co-Owner and Head Chef's West African upbringing, as well as his experiences living in France, New York, and Austin. Try the Seared Yassa Chicken.
Austin Chronicle: West African fusion reigns at this darling trailer. We're still dreaming of the Couscous Moroccan, packed with cranberries, parsley, tomato relish, and set on a bed of mixed greens with cucumber.

Wine Bar · Zilker · 36 tips and reviews
Lindsey Shirack: Wonderful patio. Love the walk-up window.
Austin Chronicle: A comfy old house with a brief but nicely chosen wine list, all at good prices, with additional daily specials ("happy hour every hour"). The food is simple but geared toward accentuating the wine.
Mazda: On Sundays all their open bottles left over from Saturday night are half price by the glass.

Mary Helen McNally: El Taccorido is a small, cash only taco joint that packs a lot of punch. They're open late, have awesome tortas, tacos for under $2 each, and amazingly delicious homemade salsas.
Anna Morgan: Cactus, egg and cheese tacos!
Ruben Alvarado: Tacos are pretty "meh" until you douse em with their amazing guacamole green sauce!!
Michelle Blaine: Come for lunch - have a drink! Bartender is less slammed and the cocktails divine! Order the wood grilled Brussel sprouts!
Austin Chronicle: Perla's has transformed a land-locked SoCo corner into a beachy cafe. It's hard to beat this place on a sunny afternoon for fresh oysters, grilled octopus, and a Caesar cocktail on the shady patio. Read more.
Austin 360: This seafood destination has an array of cocktails to match the cuisine. Bright flavors with a typically tropical flair incorporate house-made ingredients, and the cocktails never fail to refresh.
