Paperboy’s New Home
After announcing that Paperboy is working on building a brick-and-mortar restaurant at its original home on East 11th Street, the breakfast trailer is also moving its second truck from its Manchaca location at Radio Coffee to 1105 South Lamar Boulevard, as part of revamped cafe Merit Coffee. The reason behind the relocation was so that the trailer could serve South by Southwest attendees more easily. It will offer its same breakfast and lunch menu, like the bacon-egg-cheese sandwich and hash browns, starting on Wednesday, March 6 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.

This will include dishes like the Andean corn cakes served with chancaca syrup, a take on eggs benedict with yuca cheese bread, jamon royal, and aji amarillo hollandaise, and a bowl with lucuma and yogurt, among other ingredients. Brunch cocktails include mimosas with passion fruit and orange juice as well as a pisco Bloody Mary. It will be served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the weekends.

The $20 large portion is meant to serve four people.
