Where is the Best Fast Food in Austin, Texas?
When I get home late from work, I usually take the 21/22 bus. On the horizon as I walk to my up-and-coming trendy college “hood,” I see El Chilito. It isn’t normal that I get a warm fuzzy feeling for a small shack with funny lights, but for some reason it happens with El Chilito.I walk up and either get the carne guisada tacos, which I usually have to repeat a couple times because I have a spanish accent. They are fabulous. I even tried the white rice and black beans, and it just completes me. The good thing is that sometimes when I long for breakfast food from home, I can get a chorizo & egg plate even after work.El Chilito has a special place in my heart..not only because there are actual Mexicans cooking, but I can watch them cook, and feel pride that my people have a job in this crazy city.So, in the end, I recommend this place for the quick fix, really laid-back night, or just really lazy night.Oh, and get the lemonade, they try to be cute and call it “leh-moh-nada.” Oh you gu

Great price and better than average I’d say! Although I too like DQ, they’ve gone too mainstream for me now, and well, Wally’s Burger Express took me back to what use to be a the 1970’s version of DQ; not a plug just a fact in my humble opinion.Not only were they quickest I’ve seen in a long time, but Freshly HOT and mighty good for the price. Can’t beat it and what I like is that its a hidden away place that’s tucked up close to my area if I need a late night AMERICAN BURGER! Yummy… as fattening as it sounds – it’s a sheer pleasure to chomp down and gulp it up! Sad as that may sound. ONE LAST THING: they do have a quirkiness to their atmosphere & help – which was fine by me. They’re kids running it as well as it should as long as they’r
