[AGL] ACL Fest visit

[Connie Clark]

I think we can do east Austin Sat or Sunday morning since we are staying at the LaQuinta on Ben White at 35.  But I'll call Friday on my way, and see if we can do a post debate thing.
 
Thanks so much.  I would love to visit.

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?
