Snooze An AM Eatery
For a creative, fun breakfast in a college-town atmosphere, try
Snooze. Morning cocktails like the Boss Hog (bacon-infused
bourbon and house bloody mix) or a Hill Country Mule (gin,
ginger brew, grapefruit juice, fresh lime, agave) will wake
you up and prepare you for entrees like the Spring Harvest
Benny: cheesy quinoa cakes topped with egg, smoked cheddar
hollandaise, watercress, zucchini, and tomatoes in a Dijon
citronette. Sandwiches, pancakes, and French toast round out
the sweeter side. Open daily 6:30 am – 2:30 pm.
Hugo's
In Texas and elsewhere, there's Tex-Mex cuisine, then there's authentic
Mexican cuisine. Hugo's Executive Chef Hugo Ortega is aiming for the
latter version, striving to honor his Mexican heritage--and winning awards,
including the James Beard Foundation Award in 2017, along the way.
Adventurous eaters can take the plunge with Cabrito (roasted goat meat
with nopales asados), while vegetarians enjoy their own menu with several
different tacos, cauliflower soup, and charred vegetables with quinoa. For
everyone else, seafood (ceviche Acapulqueno, pan-seared scaollops in
mole), tacos (pollo, skirt steak, duck, lobster, and others) and much more
await. Open for happy hour, dinner, lunch, Saturday brunch, and Sunday
brunch buffet.
