This was a very food heavy day as we explored the city with our Austin local friend, Josh, who showed us his favorite hangout spots in Austin, TX. Join us as we eat breakfast tacos, drink Austin's best coffee, and more! Let's get going!

Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

Beautiful too see how my city has grown as a Native born and raise in this beautiful city it always fill my heart of joy to see how many people love this city
b/c It reminds me of my childhood when Austin was barely blowing up. Breaks my heart that Austin sadly became too expensive for a lot of us natives💔, but glad that at least it’s getting the recognition it always deserved 512 till I die❤️🤘🏼
Y que vive Mexico 🇲🇽
It's a different place. Grew up in Austin in the 80's and genuinely miss what It used to be. It's so bizarre visiting nowadays being disoriented with all the growth, and seeing barrios that have been scooped up by the wealthy. I suppose that's the way things are, nothing is static and everything changes! Tacos and BBQ are still on point, but there are about a 999,999 better places than Juan in a million.
@@Dan-tu1fl 20 years from now people will say the same thing about current Austin -- I remember when...
As someone from Austin I can def say y'all hit some great spots! Cheers y'all and safe travels
Your city is awesome, we loved our time there!
Your making me miss my time in Austin, wish you would have got some video of 5pm traffic and the cost of housing and I would feel better about leaving. LOL
😂😂
Looks like a great time. I’m going to be in Austin next week with my brother so this is perfect timing. Definitely looking at la Barbecue now as somewhere to stop. It looked delicious!
Have so much fun, there's so many great things to do in Austin!
There are dozens of options: Valentina's, Stubbs, Rudy's, Leonardi's, Salt Lick, and Sam's are my personal favs.
@@pablodelsegundo9502 Don't forget Black's.
pennybacker overlook used to be a smoke spot for me and my friends in high-school lol
😂😂
Wow! The food looked amazing! We are hoping visiting Austin in the late spring, we will put these on the list! Great video! Ughh sorry about the drone! ~Cara 🙃
We definitely recommend visiting, hopefully the vlog gave you some fun options to visit while you are there!
You have to get outside of Austin. Salt Lick was mentioned. You also need to have Round Rock Donuts. And Texas BBQ is really smoked and brisket is the best.
Rudy's BBQ extra moist is the best I have found. (Coming from a local 60 yrs born and raised)
ohh thanks for the recommendations!!
Rudy’s is great because of the consistency, availability, and price. Just so nice to walk in and get good BBQ, not great. Round rock donuts is a mandatory! I can’t believe y’all missed that.
When everyone’s ready for a nap…. That was good BBQ! I will be sure to get there early - I hear there’s nothing like Texas brisket. 😍
There really is nothing like it!
It's so weird to hear this as a Tejano that's grown up with so much BBQ growing up that I hated it for a while. My dad is a bbq competitor. Lol
It's so delicious though.
Great start, love me some breakfast Taco's 😋 Definitely gonna spend some days there in the new year eating tons of BBQ. Friends of ours just moved there from Brooklyn and love it. I've got to try this music provider you use. Always perfect. Stay safe friends:) James and Kim❤
Yes, you know it's a good day when it starts with tacos!
Yay, it’s “Hot Nashville Chicken” guy! Him eating that chicken sandwich was the funniest thing ever! I remember Chris saying “Are you going to pass out”. He looked like he was about to. lol Poor guy! Food looks delicious! You guys definitely made up for having to eat a burger on Thanksgiving! Enjoy!
Haha yes that's him! I think he's still recovering 😂
Great fun, casual, vlog. Thanks for the food eatery tips. Until next time.... Travel Safe.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful!
You should try True Texas Bbq attached to the HEBs. 🤤
so glad you swung through the Lone Star State! …
We had such a fun time there!
Austin is awesome I I can't wait to go back to Austin ..nice video I just subscribe to your channel ..looking forward for more video
We loved our time there! Thanks so much for subscribing, it means a lot to us!
this is cool video about austin!
Just north of the UT football stadium on Red River is the Austin staple "The Posse East"...home of the best greasy cheeseburger in Austin....Seriously.
Ohhh we will have to add it to the list!
Good queso at Posse East also
Bro don’t be blowing up local spots like that my guy. There’s sooo many places that have been been ruined by tourists and out of towner’s leave our local dive bars out of this 😂😂😂
Great to see you enjoying our city. Grab some live music on your next trip here. Safe travels.
As an Austinite for 10 years IMO virtually any BBQ place here is really good ( I don’t like standing in line very long). Every town/city has its unique vibe/character.
Lies valentinas is complete trash
Spot ON about waiting in line for a delicious commodity that's literally everywhere in Austin.
As someone who lives in Austin but has traveled a ton I always say the same thing. Texas BBQ is the only thing bad about Texas. It's just not as good as any other specialty BBQ in the country. I'd rather go a state up or over and Austin's BBQ is the worst. They're best barbecue is just good not even great. Austin has some KICK BUTT ethnic food though. Also some awesome bakeries! Korean BBQ is good in Austin also! Lin Asian bar is GREAT dim sum. Dong nai has the best pho in town taste of Ethiopia II is a VERY well priced and delicious experience! Ramen tatusya (I probably misspelled that) is THE best ramen I have EVER had! Uchi is expensive but a great experience for the money.
Avoid pluckers in Oakhill my wife and I got sick there recently.
Anyways the good places I've been to are usually ethnic there's also a good swedish bakery down the road from Lin Asian bar. There's some incredible other bakeries in Austin but those are for you to find and me to know haha!
@@justdoinmything ironically I got pluckers from the oak hill location last week and wasn't sick and never really eat pluckers
@@justdoinmything good stuff! Thx
Gotta hit more of those food trucks.. that's where the magic happens
Awesome
First to “like” and I hadn’t even watched it yet🤣. Always great content!
😂 thank you! Hope you liked the video!
You guys ate welllllll
Yes we did!
live in atx! glad you had fun but there's so much more to Austin than this come back and explore
We loved visiting your city, we definitely wished we had more time to explore!
Pretty sure I know. My daughter used to live just a few houses away.
I love living in Austin 🤍
No Zilker? No Barton springs? Just things you can do in any city such as restaurants and breweries?
Amy’s I’ve cream is AMAZING
You should get a t-shirt and where it back home and people will just see st. Elmo and ask where it is before they see the Austin, Texas lol. For those that don't know there is a st. elmo back here in Chattanooga, TN.
Chris bought a hat and has already had folks asking back in Chattanooga where he got it!
@@chrisandsara lol that's cool
It’s called the Don Juan at Juan and a million
la bbq is so goooood
💌 super cute dog
I miss Austin, Texas. I haven't been there since 2015.
It's changed so much and traffic has only gotten worse. Not gonna blame California's or transplants. I blame the city lol
I know videos can be timed so I want to check on you in regards to the tornadoes last night.
🙏🏻❤️
Hey Allison! Thanks so much for checking on us. We’re safe and so are our families thankfully. ❤️ we were spared any strong storms this round but a lot of the people near chris’ family in western Kentucky weren’t.
Seeing all the videos from Austin from others, I'm very sure there were better coffee shops out there
Y'all's buddy did y'all dirty with the breakfast tacos. There are a ton of substantially better options. That place only got popular because you could get a lot of food for cheap.
Like where? I’m looking for more spots to explore.
I've been in austin all my life
lol juan in a million
View? Of what?
I live in austin and it’s amazing
We loved visiting your city!
13 seconds in; "thats a heart attack waiting to happen"........and the award for "Darkest Travel TH-cam Channel" goes to...................
I’m moving to austin next month, I’m definitely gonna stop at all of these places
Yes, we highly recommend!!
Having been in Austin since 1977, if you try BBQ at La Barbecue definitely have to have to have the brisket or beef rib. The pork ribs there are good also. Black's BBQ is great also and so is Stiles Switch. About 15 other great BBQ places also. Franklins is phenomenal but the line starts about 8:00 a.m. every morning, so it's a challenge. LOTS of unique coffee shops and breweries. Good Mexican food at Curra's Grill on Oltorf. Good live music at The Saxon Pub. And don't fall in the trap of going to 6th St. Lots of punks and not good now. Go to W. 6th, Rainey St., 2nd St. District, South Congress, or The Domain. Hope this helps.
You guys did not get a thorough enough Austin experience. Less eating, more drinking! You should've done-breakfast tacos->coffee->greenbelt hike->BBQ->Dirty Sixth Pub Crawl->late night diner/food truck like HomeSlice Pizza->down Coconut Water to ease the hangover. THAT is how you Austin lol
lol! We will have to try that next time we are there 😂
I'm painting a mural literally a block north of Greater Goods!! 2505 e 6th street :) stop by and see it if you visit the area!
That's so cool, we will definitely have to check it out next time we are there!
Places like Juan in a Million ARE good but I see this one listed in just about every Austin travel guide 😂
All the other locals are probably gonna disagree with me but you CANNOT beat Phil's Icehouse for a burger, Enchiladas Y Mas OR Matt's El Rancho for Tex Mex and margaritas, and Tumble22 for some chicken. A visit to Adelbert's brewery is always quite refreshing - get the Tripel B if you aren't sure - and if you are lucky you can catch (or request) a quick weekend tour.
I also recommend checking out Central Market for some delish travel snacks or cook out food AND be sure to pick up some Ruta Maya coffee while you are there. (Chameleon cold brew if it's summertime, it will knock your socks off.)
lol, Enchiladas y Mas and Matt's...que disparate. Those places are for suburban (white) people who don't know what texmex is. They're barely better than El Patio.
@@pablodelsegundo9502 As you know Tex Mex is a mix of American and Mexican and not to be confused with Mexican.
Juan in a Million is meh; all the other places you mentioned are good!
Best burger in Austin is burger fi or Mooyah burgers or Hopdoddy you have to try
Good to know, thank you!
Lol Burger fi? That’s not even a local restaurant it’s a national chain. The best burger spot from a local, born and raised since 91’ trust me you want Dirtys, el Camino on 6th, sure throw in hopdoddys for good measure, Phil’s is good but not the best it’s like on par with the Chilis on 45th , Jew Boy Burgers slaps.
and i thought there will be yellow day
nooooope
@@chrisandsara is it because its north of the border
Juan usually is at the register.
I've never stopped in Austin TX.
About 15 or so years ago that highway that goes by Austin where you can take the highway up or down was all under construction. I was driving a Chevy Silverado diesel dullie and pulling a Holiday Rambler Presidential 5th wheel through that area. Concrete abutment on both sides, one lane traffic. My knuckles are still prolly much whiter than they were before that drive. I think my hands had to be surgically removed from gripping the steering wheel. Ha ha ha. Last few times, we took the toll road. Ahhhh. 😁❤😁
Penny Backer Bridge Hill Top used to be a nice spot to smoke. Now its meh
commenting to help the algorythm
😂 always appreciated! 🙏🏼
Now I want to go to Austin…
It was such a fun trip!
It's only cool for a few days, then you get sick of it, I honestly can't wait to move out of here.
@@shelbycurtis8885 So true,,,overrated
no music in Austin what?!?!?!
Does Josh have an IG?
Come to Pakistan?
shit tacos for the area, go to guadlajara in levelland texas.
not a ton in the area, but best mexican food in the state, one in a million looks like what we cook on sunday mornings
Everytime you guys eat that mouth watering food, I swear I gain 5 lbs, Keep On Keepin On :)
I know we definitely do 😂
That’s a lake and not a river just an FYI
what is your dogs name
Kramer!
☺️
Austin has turned into a WOKE San Francisco
It's a shit show
OK, Juan in a Million is the 'safe' white kids joint on the East Side. (But still not as insufferable as Torchy's.) If you want proper diner/divey texmex food, try Los Comales, Joe's Bakery, La Casita, Arandas, Los Hornitos, La Mexicana, or Beto's.
I'll take a lager or IPA over a sour ANY day. Color me basic, too.
Good to see you didn't do Franklin's. That place is pitifully overrated. Not BAD, but not worth a 2hr wait. An Austin CLASSIC is Sam's BBQ on E. 12th.
Sam's is great BBQ. Juan in a Million is delicious and very Tex Mex. Also Juan is very involved with the local community, mentors kids, helps school thrive. He is a local hero.
How you gonna list Tex mex staples without mentioning the best Matt’s el Rancho….if you an actual local like been here for decades this is the spot
I didn’t like Juan in million honestly they didn’t have home made tortillas casa Garcias is the spot ❤
We’ll have to check out Garcia’s next time we’re in town!
@@chrisandsara yay 😁 you replied yay please do thanks 🙏🏻
Everyone that thinks austin is great are just tourists or have only been here for a month, amd all the ppl that have loved here forever or a while are sick of it here lmfao
IPA isn't basic, it's aquired.
This isnt Texas
Straight up
Don’t go to Joe’s coffee it’s basic
Meh I miss the real Austin.
