correction: that's Arroyo Mexican Grill near the ballpark, not El Adobe.

Hello,

I understand that for a 9.5 inch pizza - you have doubled your basic recipe. Is it possible to learn the multipliers for 12" and 14" pans? Many thanks.

Now that I have no access to Amaya's - I'm in withdrawal. Has anyone attempted to make their salsa? I think if I could nail that, I might be able to approximate my so loved bfast tacos. Consider leaving bfast tacos if you consider leaving Austin!

I'm hooked on Amaya's Taco Village - but only for breakfast tacos w/o cheese. The 'free' ingredient of a la mex (tomatoes, jalapenos, onions) really adds to the generous portions. For $3.01 I get enough to satisfy bfast and lunch - (1) egg, potato, a la mex (1) bean, egg, a la mex

Salsa rocks, too.

Hi,

In the end we got (way too much) mustard potato salad and vinaigrette coleslaw from Ruby's. Almost double the cost - but as it was a special occasion we liked Ruby's best after tasting Green Mesquite and Catfish Parlor. Thanks for the help!

Hi,

I'm leaning towards Catfish Parlor - still need to get up there and taste. Not to mention they are 1/2 the price of Ruby's.

They will make any of their sides (they rotate daily) with advanced notice - any other ones to recommend? Vegetarian sides are a bonus.

Thanks! Nice list.

That sounds good - still on the fence to make or buy. Would you be able to share the recipe?

Many thanks - will enjoy the tastings around Austin.

I had the same experience of being ignored by management. Never went back.

I believe Tamale House East had such an item on the menu.

Thank you. I ended up with samosas from SWAD and they received good reviews from the attendees. Skipped spring rolls.

Thank you for the good input. I may go with SWAD due to location. Any opinion on the fresh veggie spring rolls between Tam Deli and Thanh Nhi (as they are also close by)?

Hi,

Wondering if anyone's tried Takoba's, El Azteca's or Sazon's chile relleno? Sound like they might fit the bill. The annual search for a chile relleno the folks would like begins again ...

I prefer Taj Grocers over MGM for pricing and selection. And SWAD is next door - which is okay, IMHO. Fiesta Grocery has a decent selection of Indian foodstuffs - at least at the 39th St. and I-35 location.

Hi,

Sprouts is selling them now - which doesn't seem very safe. How far ahead to you think a fresh turkey can (should) be purchased? I plan to try a dry brine.

Hi,

Sorry if repetitious, but I went by Bylbos on Wednesday and found the space empty. Have they relocated?

Hi,

I appreciate Crown and Anchor's selection. And the pricing - specials every day for the entire day. Sunday's a bargain with no pint pricier than $2.75, I think. Food is greasy bar food - and the nachos are yummy. Wouldn't call it cozy - but I like the typically, ahem, older grad student crowd.
