I am thankful to have some Austin friends that originate from the El Paso area to give me the rec on this spot, because it's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in town! The Drowned El Paso style Beef Tacos are fantastic, as is the Chile Relleno burrito. Stiff drinks, quick and friendly service and an easy situation to bring my kids and their friends...ALL great reasons to check this place out! I now need to find the will power to try something different on the menu. Y'all keep it up, you're nailing it!

The…read moremenu has several versions of huge franks wrapped with bacon, covered by a myriad of choices like chili, cheese, pepper, onions, tomatoes nestled between a solid split (homemade?) perfect bun. The menu includes flavors and fusions of El Paso style fare. Enchiladas, tacos, and uniquely French fried potatoes. The one thing that makes it short of amazing, and maybe unfair considering the carefully crafted fare, is the excessive saltiness. The portions are huge. Enough for two. The aguas frescas ARE homemade. None of that powdered stuff, here. I encourage you to go and support this local restaurant if and when you can.

The activities were not worth $2. Mind you this is on top of the $15 entrance fee. There's typical overpriced carnival food, like funnel cakes, corn dogs, hot dogs, Mexican, and pizza. Not a lot of variety of food. The rides were kids carnival rides best for children under 6. Each ride required tickets which would cost about $5. There were maybe 5 rides, and they were not great. Don't buy the $25 wristband to ride unlimited rides. It is not worth it. Your kids won't want to ride more than 1 or 2 rides max. Skip this.

Review: Fierce Flavors at Austin's Top 100 BBQ Tucked into a…read morequintessential corner lot, this Austin food truck isn't just serving barbecue; it's serving a certified experience. As a recipient of the prestigious Texas Monthly Top 100 BBQ Award, the expectations were high--and for the most part, they were met. The venue itself provides a fantastic, relaxed vibe, complete with plenty of TVs and a music stage, making it the perfect spot for chilling out on a lazy afternoon or settling in for an evening hang. The Main Event: Pitmaster Excellence The true test of a Texas BBQ joint is the holy trinity, and here, they nailed the fundamentals: * Brisket: This was Texas BBQ as it should be. The brisket was super juicy, delivered a profound, deep flavor, and possessed a flawless, great bark that spoke to hours of skillful smoking * Spare Ribs: A study in contrast and texture. The ribs offered a satisfying "good pull"--firm enough to bite but still falling cleanly off the bone. The thick, peppery bark was beautifully balanced by a slight sweetness from a pepper jelly glaze, adding a layer of sophisticated flavor you don't always find. * Pork Belly Burnt Ends: These were pure decadence. Each bite provided a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth experience with a distinct and welcome hint of Fierce Whiskers bourbon woven into the smoky, fatty flavor. They are so rich and irresistible, you know you shouldn't eat too many, but good luck stopping. * Jalapeño and Cheese Sausage: This locally sourced link brought the heat with a good level of spice. The flavor was excellent, though the texture leaned slightly toward the processed side, which was the only minor drawback among the meats. The Supporting Cast: Sides A great plate of BBQ requires sides that stand up to the meat, and while two of these were stars, one needs a little work. * Mac & Cheese: An absolute winner. It was cheesy, creamy, and featured an excellent smoked flavor that permeated the dish. The slightly charred edges added a delightful textural counterpoint. * Hash Brown Casserole: This was a surprisingly strong contender, offering a nice assembly of savory flavors. The secret weapon was the corn flake topping, providing an unexpected but welcome crunch, complemented by a satisfying hint of bacon. * Creamed Corn: Unfortunately, this side was the weakest link. It tasted primarily bland, despite a slight peppery note. It desperately needs some fresh jalapeños mixed in to cut through the creaminess and add the essential Texas kick. Final Verdict The meat selection here is truly Top 100 worthy, excelling in technique, flavor, and execution (especially the Brisket and Burnt Ends). The atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed gathering. While the Creamed Corn missed the mark, the stellar Hash Brown Casserole and Smoked Mac & Cheese prove that their side game is usually strong. Come for the high-quality, authentic Texas barbecue, stay for the great outdoor patio.
