Austin’s Eater 38 aims to provide a restaurant recommendation for any situation. This list covers the entire city, spanning numerous cuisines and budgets, and collectively satisfies every restaurant need, from taco trucks to finer dining spots. These are the restaurants and food trucks that truly define Austin.
Every quarter, Eater Austin adds pertinent restaurants that make the cut, whether they have become newly eligible (open for at least six months) or revamped their menu or services, and aims to keep the list inclusive and reflective of the Texas city. This winter 2023 update adds House of Three Gorges and Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum, and brings back Epicerie. This round also means we’re saying farewell to the Peached Tortilla, Evangeline Cafe, and Sichuan River.
