Their salsa is so fresh and chips are thin! They do a great job of having fresh ingredients for their food. It's typical Tex-Mex, but quick access from my place and casual vibe.

Everything Else
A must see! The more relaxed version of 6th street. Not as much live music, if hardly any...but a charming row of old homes and new commercial spaces with bars, DJ's food and more.

Another "don't miss" spot is SoCo (South Congress.) Full of weird and ecclectic shopping, historic music venues, and all types of food. ATTN: The pin on this map has severely misplace the location. You can actually see on the map the area that says "South Congress" An easy google search will show you how close it is to my place and the many activities around.

Parks & Nature
This amazing trail is built OVER Lady Bird Lake. It connects over 10 miles of trails, easily accessible from my place, where you can go along the river/lake and have access to so much shopping, entertainment, food WITHOUT getting on the street. The electric bikes or any bikes are good for this. You don't have to go the entire trail of course.
