  • Cisco’s Restaurant in Austin, Texas, is said to have made Tex-Mex famous. Since the 1950s, it has served classic dishes like migas and huevos rancheros, along with other delicious Tex-Mex staples like tacos and enchiladas. Insider’s Joe Avella stopped by to see how it has remained a popular haunt in the rapidly changing city of Austin, and, of course, he tried some of Cisco’s famous food.

      Are you ready for the answer? In any town if you want great food you have to go the hood. A place that is not advertised because it does not have curb appeal. You have to find a place that has a 90 y/o grandma in the back cooking and the Entire restaurant is ran by the family.

      It really depends on your circle. I'm a 3rd generation Central Texan. There is a ton of old Austin history at Cisco's. Sit at one of the back tables, and there are tons of politician and Longhorn player and coach pics. Pics of them eating there or letters they wrote later on. It is an icon. Not as famous as Matt's or Juan In A Million. It's almost like The Hoffbrau Steakhouse on 6th St. People who have lived here for about 10-15 years may have never heard of it. But it has a very loyal customer base. I think it's been here since at least the 50's. One place I miss that was here forever that was not widely known was "Arkies". The nicest old ladies worked there. Some of the best conversations with the old timers at the bar.

    All right. So the white guy explaining what Tex-Mex is kind of hurt my brain because he was doing his best not to give the great Mexican people that credit. So everybody knows that from Texas on back is actually Mexico. I'm sure everybody knows about the Mexican-American War. Okay, so when that imaginary line moved? South those Mexican stay right there. Texas is over 70% Latin. Therefore, What happened is? Europeans, white Europeans, came in to a clan took culture monetize it capitalized offer it and you get the guy in a blue shirt.

The original Mexican food you can find in the states is California, real authentic Mexican food that tast just like if your in Mexico.
