Tarka Indian Kitchen (Round Rock, South Austin)

I love Indian food.  I love my Go Local Austin card.  Put the two together, and we had ourselves a lovely discounted dinner. Our children can be a bit picky about Indian food because of the spice, as in the heat and not the flavor.   At Tarka, we can ask them to sauce up [...]

Gourdough’s (South Austin)

In one of our smarter moves, my extended family and I trekked down early to the Gypsy Picnic at Auditorium Shores this weekend in the hopes of discovering other food trailer gems, knowing that if we showed up later, the lines would be horrendously long. This was definitely a smart move. The lines were getting [...]

Opal Divine’s at Penn Field (South Austin)

I’m just showing the love to South Austin this week. Opal Divine’s is almost always said with margarita in the same sentence, or at least the people I know who frequent Opal Divine’s. My intention was to lounge on the patio, hang out with the family, and have one of those oft-mentioned margaritas. Well, that [...]

Yum Yum Frozen Yogurt (Barton Springs)

We were down in South Austin, and it was a hundred degrees so after dinner we took the kids to Yum Yum Frozen Yogurt for a treat. Yum Yum is underneath Flipnotics, in the same building, if that gives you an idea of where it is on Barton Springs.  We were able to find an [...]

Wazoo’s (South Austin)

Wazoo’s is another of Austin’s many indoor inflatable bounce house places, and we just discovered it this weekend.  It is near Southpark Meadows, tucked away in an industrial warehouse off of Cullen, near Slaughter and IH-35.  If we weren’t specifically going out of our way to find Wazoo’s, I’m not sure that we would have [...]

RED’s Porch (South Austin)
