    I like radio coffee. This bad review is only for their sticky rice mango matcha latte. The sticky rice flavor is very artificial. The mango piece is very hard and chewy. The cup is 90% full of ice. I'll stick with their regular matcha latte instead.

    Radio Coffee & Beer is such a great spot. I love the casual, outdoorsy atmosphere, and the staff are always genuinely nice. It's also a huge plus that they offer both coffee and alcoholic options and have food trucks on site, so it's easy to stay for a while. I had the iced Biscoff Cookie Latte and my husband got the hot Pumpkin Pie Latte. Both were delicious! The Biscoff wasn't overly sweet, and the pumpkin pie latte tasted warm and flavorful without that artificial pumpkin taste. They also play great music, which is a huge plus! The only downside is limited parking, but I haven't had an issue so far. Just don't miss the additional parking sign. The back lot is down a narrow alleyway and easy to miss.

    Service was great. They recommended us specialty drinks--those were good. Ample parking and seating, which is a plus.

    I was skeptical, but it was really good

    I like this spot partly because of its location, central to other things I might be heading to or from. The menu has plenty of fun options, and one of the more memorable drinks I've tried was the mango sticky rice matcha latte. It is definitely on the sweeter, treat side, but worth trying at least once for something different. Most of the time though, I'm coming here for a traditional latte and some tacos, which always hit the spot. The atmosphere has lots of space to spread out whether you want to sit inside or enjoy the outdoor setup. It feels just as good for a quick solo stop as it does for hanging out with friends. Parking can get tricky at busier times, but overall it's a reliable, versatile place that fits easily into a day out in Austin.

    Great coffee, ambiance, and service. The coffee was even to this coffee snob's liking -- a first choice in an area chuffed with options parking can be a challenge possibly because people were parking and walking to the flea market..

    Love the ambiance at radio coffee! One of my favorite places to bring people from out of town Tried the mango stick rice matcha and I loved it!

    Coffee, beer, and amazing food trucks...what's not to love? There's street parking in the neighborhood and a small gravel lot out back (look for the "More Parking" sign). The cashier was super friendly and approachable, which I really appreciate at a coffee shop, because you can sometimes run into coffee snobs at some other Austin establishments. I never know if you're supposed to review the food trucks separately or with the anchor spot, but I'll say this: I grabbed a BBQ biscuit and inverted cinnamon roll from Briscuits, and they were both killer. Add in the taco truck and you've basically got all the major Austin food groups covered. Coffee drinks were on point, and the low-key vibe, outdoor seating, and cozy interior make this a solid 5-star spot for me.

    Of all the places in Austin that I've been to, Radio has been my most frequently revisited. It holds itself as just a great "spot" in Austin through all hours of the day. If you're working remote and want to enjoy a nice space with coffee, Radio has fantastic craft lattes, matchas, and other espresso-based beverages to fuel your afternoon. Hanging out with some friends who just got into town and you want a few cocktails? Radio's selection of local taps, wines, and handmade cocktails are top notch. What's great about Radio is its ability to be a two-way player like Hakeem Olajuwon on all ends of the court. The inside space is nice and classic with its wood decor and plenty of seating for guests, but Radio has some of the most outdoor space I've seen at a bar. There is a sprawling range of different options from their greenhouse-like space to picnic tables and benches to their patio. On a nice spring afternoon, you can't beat it. It's a two-way coffee bar and beer garden, it's a two-way indoor and outdoor space, and it's a two-way morning and evening spot. The MVP of Austin, Radio fires on all cylinders. I've tried all the different uses: going in the morning to edit pictures with a coffee indoors, having dinner from their excellent food trucks and drinking cocktails or beer outdoors, working remotely with a hot latte, or just stopping by to chill. It has never missed. I'll go with my girlfriend, a friend, a big group of homies, and any other combination, and Radio is always shining. The staff always seems to be on top of it, with some manning the beers and cocktails and others focused on the barista side with coffee. I know it's a popular concept in Austin to fuse a coffee shop and a beer garden/cocktail bar, but I've never seen it done as successfully as Radio. Their food truck selection from their own Shortwave Diner, Texas Monthly-recognized breakfast BBQ joint Briscuits, and the always excellent Veracruz All Natural are all the more reason that Radio is the only place you need in Austin. For however long I remain in Austin, Radio will always be the first option for a hangout spot through all hours of the day. Edit: One thing I didn't mention, and forgot to throw in was that depending on if you're going during peak hours (Friday afternoons and weekend brunch), the parking can be kind of a challenge, but if you lock in and have kindness in your heart, you can park somewhat easily.

    Love this spot! Great for drinks / coffee / food trucks - awesome spot for dinner or lunch. Love they have dee dees Thai truck and other options too - Veracruz and two more! Service is quick - order at bar or QR codes on tables. Plenty of outdoor seating and dog friendly patio too! I love the mango margarita here and the prickly pear one is pretty good too! Smaller parking lot area but there is street parking too.

    Popular spot for coffee, specialty lattes, food trucks, and overall good vibes! I've visited this location a few times now and enjoy it each time - especially with nice weather. Plenty of seating space outdoors, but limited parking. They serve up coffee and beer and other drinks, are dog-friendly, and have pretty quick service considering how busy it gets. Drinks can be pricy depending on what you get, and drip coffee refills are $1.50. It's a true Austin-y vibe! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, a small/tight lot and street parking. - Workspace? Yes, there's both indoor and outdoor seating. - Food? Yes, a few food trucks onsite! DRINKS: - [Seasonal] Mango sticky rice matcha (5/5): This was so good and unique I ordered it 2x. Pretty solid matcha and love the coconut and mango! If you enjoy matcha and mango sticky rice, this is a perfect combination in a drink! - [Seasonal] Honey lavender latte (3/5): Basic and not very strong honey or lavender flavors. A little too milky for my taste, but simple latte.

    Let me set the scene: it's late already, and I knew I would be up for a while longer. Radio Coffee & Beer is open until 12 every night. Perfect. I stop by, and I order a hot coffee to sit in and enjoy. The aesthetic was perfect, and they offer a wide variety of spirits and coffee. Perfect for whichever vibe you're going for at the time of visiting. The coffee was smooth and creamy, with a nice bite. I didn't feel rushed, I didn't feel crazy for enjoying a full caffeinated cup of coffee at 11pm, and I will be stopping back by and I will be stopping by for some of their events as well. Check out their website for details on the events and prices for tickets (if needed!)

    Love Radio - have been coming here off and on for a year now. The service is always top notch and I love partaking in the food trucks. My husband and I stopped by this morning to grab breakfast from Briscuits and stopped inside to grab an iced matcha, topo chico and sangria blast.

    Perfect spot for late-night tacos!…read more The best part is that they have great vegetarian options, including both paneer and tofu tacos, and both are absolutely delicious. It's not always easy to find flavorful vegetarian tacos, so this place was a pleasant surprise. I loved it so much that I ended up visiting twice during my two-day trip to Austin. If you're in the city, this place is definitely worth checking out!

Sixth Street's neon and noise are basically next door, the Capitol sits up the hill, and the whole area is packed with people, bars, and that classic Austin mix of polished downtown hustle and late-night chaos. Velvet Taco is pure counter-service: you walk right up, order at the register, and then grab a seat. There's plenty of seating, so even with a couple of kids in tow it was no problem finding a spot. The place leans hard into what can only be called white-people tacos--soft, sad flour tortillas that taste like they came straight out of a grocery-store package, loaded with every wild creation the kitchen can invent. Global mashups, brunch hybrids, burger impostors, the works. No one is pretending these are the real deal. I went for the chicken-and-waffles taco, which was actually built on a thin, real waffle instead of a tortilla. Surprisingly good--crispy, a little sweet, chicken holding its own. The burger taco tasted exactly like a cheeseburger that had wandered into a tortilla and decided to stay. We also tried the shrimp taco (fine), one daughter got the kids' chicken taco (perfectly kid-level), and the other ordered the chicken tikka (spicy, saucy, and very much in the "why is this on a tortilla?" category). Everything was okay. Comparable to Torchy's in that same creative-American-taco lane. If you're looking for a true Mexican taco, stay far away. But if you just want to play around with some decent flavors on a cheap flour store-bought tortilla while sitting in the middle of downtown Austin, this is your spot. Not my favorite. Glad I tried it. Won't be back.

The fill ratio was correct: I was able to hold it closed without really squeezing, and better, nothing was soggy to weaken the very lightly warmed tortilla. But I wanted a higher salt level in the eggs and steak, and some crisp on both proteins would've improved texture balance. It's pretty solid. I think my mom would give it a 5.

I had only stopped by this Food Truck (area) to try Desnudo Coffee, and spotted this business. I had heard some good things about Veracruz, but I was planning lunch elsewhere. Well, that other spot was CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS! Seeing my situation, I saw it as opportunity to try the options at Veracruz --- including the famous from Food Network, migas taco. I ordered 4 tacos: the migas, migas poblano, shrimp macha (!!), and the Dona Reyna tacos. All of these specific tacos were priced between $6 and $6.75 per taco, not bad in Austin, and not bad considering the quality of said tacos. As you can see from my order, I opted on the more "novel" choices and they did not disappoint; that said, I do HIGHLY recommend the two variations of the migas taco and the shrimp macha taco. Oh, the shrimp macha was so FIRE, the flavors were bold and smoky with a kiss of heat. The migas tacos were FULLY LOADED, and the scramble with the tortilla chips were flavorul. TIP: They will ask corn or flour --- do flour. Everything is handmade, but those corn tortillas fall apart with all the sauce. Flour = durable and flavorful. I had plans, but the Universe had other plans for me that were superior. Try Veracruz All Natural --- and if your limited on $$$, you can snag 3 EXCEPTIONAL LOADED TACOS for about $20, that you will not find anywhere else!

The steak taco had too much fat in it. If I was strictly bashing this review on the food. I'd give it a three. It's not worth the price. Now, the service seemed to be decent until I didn't put a tip on my takeout order. Things seemed to go south. When my name was called, I grabbed the small paper bag and paused. No guacamole.

I said thank you and made the long walk fighting the heat of the dragon's breath once again. The story does not stop there, I thought 3 tacos, a drink, and guacamole couldn't honestly cost $43. The guilt of spending that kind of money on such little food that was also just average, screamed in my conscience. Well, that was because the woman also had not given me my tres leches, which was going to be for my wife. I took the long walk back, stood at the counter for what felt like 10 minutes,and again it felt like a chore to get me what I paid for. No sorry. I would suggest taking a little longer walk to Taqueria de Diez
