This Mexican bakery has all the makings for a great late night snack. Queso, salsa bar, and excellent tacos are obvious, but tortas with home made bread and pastries like empanada de pina and pan ducle make this 24 hour joint one of south Austin’s best.

One of the only really good Asian restaurants in south Austin, 888 has all the best Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai dishes under one roof, and it’s all available until 2 a.m. Noodles is the name of the game here and the clear winner is the Pho Dac Biet with flank steak two ways, tripe, brisket and beef tendon.

Bringing a little bit of class to Dirty Sixth, Andrew Curren’s Easy Tiger bakes incredible bread, makes excellent house sausages, and has an impressive draft beer list. Plus, it’s probably one of the only places you can get beer cheese after midnight. Don’t skip the house cured and smoked pastrami.

Open 24/7 for those who need a caffeine fix in the middle of the night, Buzzmill is slinging the best summertime cold brew in town out of a lodge off east Riverside. The Blue Ox Barbecue truck parked out back is open till 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. This is the only respectable place in town to get barbecue after midnight. The espresso rubbed pork tenderloin is legit.

Even after opening a brick and mortar location, one of Austin’s biggest food trailer success stories is still doing it right on south 1st. The Flying Pig, Boss Hogg, Blackout and more of your all-time favorite doughnuts are available till 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

This is the closest thing in Austin to a late night New York City street slice. All you really need is a cheap pepperoni slice with good sauce, not too much cheese and a crispy crust. If it’s take out or delivery, go for one of their specialty pies like the Mission with figs, brown sugar pineapple, prosciutto, and goat cheese.
