Moving to Texas...

[travis2]

About 90 miles to the SBC center, so not that bad. Houston traffic is horrible and you have to pay a toll every 50 feet. San Antonio (don't get me wrong I grew up here and I came back after going to college in NY, NY, and I love it here, but) Austin has the benefit of having a major university there. Because of that University, there are more things to do there, it is more liberal, sigh, like my old Alma Mater, , San Antonio is at least five times larger than Austin but they have more bands going there.

So all in all, you made the right choice. (6th street)

San Antonio is TWICE the size of Austin...not five times.

As of the July 1, 2007 estimate (released 10 July 2008):

San Antonio -- 1,328,984 (rank #7)
Austin -- 743,074 (rank #16)

El Chile and Polvo's are good.

ok Dex massive Austin restaurant guide FAIL

Matt's El Rancho is imitation Tex-Mex

Mellow Mushroom pizza is effing disgusting (but their subs are ok)

What would you say is good Tex Mex in Austin?

I have never been to El Rancho and dont plan on starting. I personally like Serrano's.

chain tex mex? i thought you were from the valley, son.

[I. Hustle]

Yeah Serranos is good too. Like I said though if you move to the southside you have to go to First Wok. If any of you guys live in Austin and haven't tried it then give it a shot. It is not expensive and the pot stickers and Lo Mein is the Shizznit

I am and nothing compares to what we have over there. I havent found anything in Austin that is good especially up North. Any recommendations im willing to take the pepsi challenge any day? La Tapatilla up north off 183 and Anderson mill is some good but its not Tex Mex. Its closer to authentic Mexican and damn good at that.

that was probably fonda san miguel, which is good. El Chile is on Manor a block or so short of Hoover's, and Polvos is on South First.

Really like pretty much all you can eat? Don't you live in that area?

[I. Hustle]

$35?! For brunch? Y'all must be ballas

Trust me for that place its cheap hahahah. Nah its not that expensive there but it isnt cheap. ON a date you could easily run up a bill over 100.

Glad I'm married. Don't date anymore

Did any of ya'll go to highschool there in Austin?

[Xylus]

Xylus what part of town are you moving to? that will largely determine what places you'll be frequenting

I'm not sure yet, since my employer is providing an apartment for me, rather than moving to a place of my choosing.
