Late Night food Delivery Austin

It was recently reported that Austinites spend nearly twice the national average on dining out. While that's largely a consequence of a mass-addiction to breakfast tacos, it's also a testament to a culture of culinary entrepreneurism, adventurous eating, and disdain for any chain not circling the hub of a bicycle. Luckily, Thrillist editor Dan Gentile hopped off his own bike to tell you exactly where to enjoy all of the best food.

Favorite Restaurant: This is a tough call, but I've gotta give it up to La Condesa. As much as I love trailer tacos, Condesa just elevates Mexican food to an entirely new level. You won't find a better deal than their atun tostadas during happy hour, and the tobacco-infused El Cubico margarita is one of the most creative drinks in town.

Best Late-Night Eats: Lucky J's wins my nod as best late-night jam for their Ms. M Taco. At 2a, nothing's better than a waffle wrapped around fried chicken, bacon, and Swiss.

Best Cheap Eats: Back in college I would down samosas from Ken's Doughnuts by the half dozen. Although the price has raised $.50 since then, I still stop by for some of the best sleeper Indian food in town and wash it down with an eclair.

Best Food Truck: There's still no topping East Side King - Top Chef contestant Paul Qui's star has risen since the original Liberty trailer opened, but the beet fries and pork buns still stand as some of his most delicious creations, and the quail at the Grackle trailer is next-level.

Best Sandwich: Home Slice's Italian Sub is so good it convinced me to move into a house with the manager of the restaurant.

Best Dish: Franklin Barbecue's brisket. There's nothing else in town I'd wait 2+ hours for. You won't find moister, more flavorful meat anywhere in the world.

Best Italian: Enoteca makes for a perfect lunch, and in true Italian fashion, you'll want to take a nap afterwards.

Best Breakfast Taco: Mi Madre's wins for their chorizo, Tamale House is unbeatable in terms of price, and I have a soft spot for Taco-Mex as the little taco window that could. Still, there's nothing that hits the spot quite like the buttery housemade tortillas from the newcomers at the Taco Joint.
