eats (part one)

We went here on the Saturday after we found our apartment. I had the Tacos Al Pastor and a margarita. They make them with real lime juice, no mix involved, so they're very tart and tasty. The food was delicious and I'm anxious to get back to try their breakfast tacos.

The atmosphere is very hip. It's in the trendy SoCo (South Congress) area near our apartment. (Frommer's identifies it as "the once-derelict stretch of Congress Avenue that...started becoming gentrified--or at least 'trendified.' It's now lined with cutting-edge art galleries, antiques boutiques, and retro clothing shops." Guero's apparently draws a decent amount of local celebrities and politicians too (see what I found on flickr below).

The Clintons like the tacos.

Because of this star traffic the restaurant can be a little busy, but we only had to wait 20 minutes on a weekend. Special treats: they make their corn tortillas by hand and, like every other place in Austin that serves alcohol, have live music.
