April 20, 20187 yr How about:- Spicy Fish from Asia Cafe on Spicewood Springs- Chopped BBQ sandwich at Ruby's (before it closed)- AYCE fried catfish at Catfish Parlour
April 20, 20187 yr The T-MAN/TURBO from Berts is pretty iconic in my book The queso compuesto from El Arroyo fed me plenty of drunk nights so I'd add it to that list too

April 20, 20187 yr I might also nominate the Rockin Ruthans from MaudiesStrait Plate with eggs is the Maudie’s pro move.

April 20, 20187 yr That CFS from Hill's refers back to the 70s/80s yellow gravy Hill's and not current, right?

April 21, 20187 yr Agree with previous poster re: Top Notch. Either their Fried Chicken, Burgers, or Onion Rings (even though I'm not a fan of rings, personally). That restaurant just screams iconic Austin. Fuck, now I want Top Notch. Pretty good list, overall, though.
April 21, 20187 yr I didn't see the enchiladas from Enchiladas y Mas. I've lived here 43 years and they are some of my favorites. I would include a cheeseburger from Dan's and donuts from Mrs. Johnson's Bakery on the list. All in all it's a decent list.
April 21, 20187 yr A slice of Conan's Savage has to be on the list. Angie's carnitas taco deserves to be on the list.How about:- Spicy Fish from Asia Cafe on Spicewood Springs- AYCE fried catfish at Catfish Parlour The T-MAN/TURBO from Berts is pretty iconic in my book The queso compuesto from El Arroyo fed me plenty of drunk nights so I'd add it to that list too That is a GREAT nomination.

April 21, 20187 yr I won’t rehash, but there are some great additions on this thread. Having lived here for 20 years, a great sandwich, imo, was few and far between. I mean, a truly amazing sandwich. For me, that changed with fricano’s. The Ainsworth was a sandwich that got me to enjoy ingredients that I swore I would never eat. And the surprise of it was like getting a grab bag at the baseball card shop as a kid. Paul’s Reuben and The Jonah also get a nod for me. Regardless of the specific sandwich, Fricano’s is on my personal iconic Austin list.

April 22, 20187 yr Veracruz should be on the overrated list. Been there a few times and it was fine, nothing more. Beef fajitas ranchero on Wednesday at Habaneros’s should be top 10. One of the best $8-9 plates of food in the city.

Goddamnright.
