Mia's Food Recommendations!

My name is Mia Thompson, and welcome to my favorite restaurants in Austin! I am a senior at the University of Texas, so I've lived nn Austin for 4 years now! I am a bit of a foodie, and my friends and I go out to eat often. No food is off the table (pun intended), and we make it a goal to try a new restaurant every week! From my extensive research over the years, here are my favorite places for a good meal. Enjoy! Join me on Beli to see more of my favorites!

Tex-Mex

My go-to spots for tacos, queso, and margaritas!

Asian

From sushi to ramen and KBBQ, here’s where I go when I’m craving authentic plates

Italian

For date nights, pasta cravings, and family recipes

BBQ

Because you can’t talk about Texas food without BBQ

Fun Restaurants

For something a little different, these spots are perfect for a night out or a special treat
