Cheap, Good and Hip
In that hazy morning after a late show time, nothing satisfies like a trip to Tamale House #3. The breakfast burritos are the most popular item, and they're so big that it only takes two to fill me up. The restaurant itself is just a large kitchen, with enough room for a line to place orders. Be sure you know what you want, because the lines get long and they'll be able to serve you as fast as you can get the words out of your mouth. A word of warning though, it's hot in the summertime, as there is no air conditioning. But that is a small price to pay to be able to sit on the stairs outside, eating your (usually under $3) breakfast and rubbing elbows with the band you caught last night at Emo's.    [28 Jan 2001 09:36:28]

Cheap and GOOOOOD food. A college students dreams. But you had better get there by three because they close way too early. But as lunch spot, this is as good as it gets in Austin.    [14 Nov 2003 19:41:59]

Austin Tamale House #3
First off, they only serve tamales at xmas time.

Their breakfast tacos are .95 cents and good. They are fresh and handmade. You can get them on whole wheat, white or corn tortillas for the same cost. But they are small.

Calling ahead lets you skip their wait line.

There is no air-conditioning. This keeps the food cheap.

There is no way their guacamole is made from real avocados. It looks closer to tamatillo sauce then avacados.

Their migas are good. Soupy. Get them with cheese.    [05 Jul 2007 12:11:06]
