    I was born and raised here and let me tell you those temperatures are Wayyy off. More like 90-108 degrees in July and 50-80 degrees in January. Zilker park and the greenbelt are pretty cool.

    • @VentureAddicts
      @VentureAddicts  3 года назад +8

      We were surprised too! That’s the average according to the internet, but we would swear the average temp in summer in shy of 100 😅

    Small tip: As someone who is Mexican, if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, don’t go to a Tex-Mex place. Tex-Mex is not authentic since it fuses Texas food with Mexican. We don’t eat burritos and a bunch of queso and chips in Mexico, or at least not in my village. Tex-Mex can be delicious for sure though.

Valentinas on Manchaca. 3. Pabalote on South Lamar 4. Taccorido (Multiple Locations) 5. Veracruz (Multiple locations but go to the one at Radio Coffee house cause Radio is dope.) 6. Pastor on Riverside 7. Pueblo Viejo (multiple locations) 8. La Tunita (Birria on Burleson) .... and literally any other gas station taco place around the city. Also Vegans...Best Burger in the World is at Arlos.

Visit San Antonio where Mexican influence and culture is still very present and thriving. Austin’s Mexican restaurants freaking give you sour cream and chips for crying out loud lmao.

    1. Sit in Barton Springs Pool. 2. Stand in the freezer section at HEB and munch the free samples there. 3. Spend all day in the freezing movie theatres. 4. Sit in any freezing library. 5. Sit in a storm. 6. Sit in your car with the AC all the way up. 7. Visit a freezing museum. 8. Put your wet clothes in the freezer, take a cold shower and put on your frozen clothes with pockets full of ice cubes before you go out. 9. Dress all in black and pretend you are cool.

The Purple Margarita is a classic there! The Tortilla Soup is too! I always get Tortilla Soup with extra Avacado and cheese lol. I'm a born and raised Austinite. Just ask me if you want more recommendations. Also, go to Hippie Hollow if you want to go nude or wear clothes. It's clothing optional!
