Fiesta Patio on Pat Booker Rd.
El Barrio on Blanco Road....
Give me a minute more... I'll think of some more good ones.....
I remember clearly.
Thank you very much for that comprehensive list of Mex/Tex-Mex resteraunts in Austin.
...bookmarking now
Steak? Try The Barn Door on New Braunfels.... Salt Grass Steak house on 281 and the Texas Land & Cattle Co. on Loop 410.
That is so true. French cuisine is exquisite when prepared correctly. My mother-in-law's cooking is my favorite.
That being said, I would give almost anything to have some good Mexican food right now. Even a chain like Ninfa's or On the Border. There are no Mexican places around here! Oh well, thank God for Old El Paso. It's all I got.
I have to confess I love La Madeleine, but I wouldn't really call it French. But yeah, it's kind of bland. It hacks me off they stay thin [although I heard this week that 40% are overweight.]
Rosie O'Donnell responds: "Way to go Texas!".
DC area has so many great restaurants of every imaginable variety, but that's true of any large metropolitan area. It's just our nightlife that sucks for younger adults.
I heard on some food show on TV that the French did not have a cuisine until they stole it from the Italians they tweaked it and oo-lala you have French cuisine..... I usually go with the original, Italian.
Billy is quite the health freak from what I hear.
County Line BBQ on the River Walk.
That's what I was thinking. Can you imagine telling a French chef his or her food was bland? There would be a nice little knife-throwing exercise back in the kitchen. With the Sous Chef as target.
That makes no sense, at least to me. The French are known for their sauces, and Italian cuisine is, well, Mediterranean.
Yeah, you can tell by how well he has aged.
This place looks good..... http://www.restaurantlereve.com/menu.php
But at a $100.00 plus per meal....
I'll stick to Los Numero Dos Dinner at the local tex-mex.
Now that I'm a cash-strapped dropout from Houston cafe society, I gotta say I do miss keeping up with my neighbors by eating out at every new foodery that opens.
OTOH, my ex-DH may have been right when he said our house was the best restaurant in town - it's just that I have to do the cooking. As much as I love to do it, almost everything tastes better to me if it has that "cooked-by-someone-else" factor.
What I miss most is keeping up with new restaurant dishes so I can duplicate them at home, my favorite hobby.
Hmmm.... the French food may be better here in San Francisco. There is an awesome place called Le Charm which features a 3-course tasting menu for something like $28...
Most likely, the best Tex-Mex eateries in SA and Houston are not listed in Zagat's. A lot of us have neighborhood favorites.
Perhaps our fellow poster visited after the violet garlic shortage began.
Next thing they'll be trying to tell us is that Escoffier was Italian.
