East Austin Food Tour

Often overlooked, Austin’s East Side is a diverse and creative neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and entertainment. Discover Austin’s sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to dining, living and community on this 2-hour tour with a local guide.

The tour begins at Cisco’s Restaurant Bakery & Bar, Austin’s original Tex-Mex restaurant. In business for over 60 years, enjoy a picadillo roll stuffed with seasoned beef and dipped in queso.

Wander through the Texas State Cemetery, admiring the beautiful grounds and famous tombs of Stephan F. Austin, “American Sniper” Chris Kyle and more before dining at Discada. Famous from the TV show “Somebody Feed Phil”, Discada was one of four taco trucks which collectively fed the community during the Texas winter storm in 2021. Tuck into north Mexican taquitos cooked on a traditional agricultural disk harrow or “cowboy wok”.

Visit Easy Tiger famous for their prosciutto baguette, BLT or “Grown Up Grilled Cheese”. Enjoy freshly baked pretzels served with mustard, beer cheese or salted whipped butter.

End the tour on a sweet note at The Soup Peddler. Popular for their natural juices, smoothies and sweets, try the classic Austin chia and hemp pudding before learning about how the owner went from delivering his products by bike to having a 6-store franchise in Austin.
