[AGL] ACL Fest

[Fontaine Maverick]

Well, I am not sure how far away from the fest we should go - there is taqueria arandas on 2448 south first - just south of Oltorf. Standard tasty fare but not gore-may, it is a formica and limited English kinda place. Then there is east Austin-, but I am not as familiar with that part of town. However, Charlie Loving and others have raved about a place called Las Casuelas at 1701 East Cesar Chavez. 
Here is an exchange from the mexican food connosieurs on my list:

  Pollo boracho

    It's only a few blocks from where I work. Huge menu. Just getting started on it, but I can vouch
    for the enchiladas. The waitress said the green salsa also has creamed avocado in it. Looks deceptively mild.  ¡Bastante chiles!                    twisty

      Alicia and I eat there a lot. Not a very high brow place but one of the best charcoal grilled chicken places around Austin. The green salsa is very picante. I first met that salsa in Zacatecas at a PMEX eatery. It is very creamy and the cook shared the recipe. You got to have fresh tomatillos. The red sauce burns the back of your pallet. I always get chicken and I have paid with pesos when I had no gringo dinero.


Are you thinking Saturday morning? Or brunch?
