  • I’m partial to El Cerrito Taqueria on 249 during the day because they only serve breakfast and lunch. Any other time (literally, it’s 24 hours a day) is Taqueria Ruby. There’s a dim sum joint in Chinatown called Golden Dumpling that’s pretty dope. It’s cash only. Thien Thanh is pretty great if you’re into Vietnamese food, also cash only. I think every decent barbecue joint has been covered by a hundred TV shows. Xochi downtown if you’re looking for upscale Oaxacan food. You can’t really go wrong downtown because they’re all fighting for your business. There’s a dude that sells tamales at the bars in Spring and between 6 and Cypress on the northwest side of town. There’s a little too much masa for my particular taste but he’s a great guy, they’re delicious, and he sells homemade red sauce and green sauce by the jar. Tony’s New York Pizza is really good and the only place I’ll go for real New York style pizza. I lived up there for a while and this scratches the itch.

    If you want a little more well known, Pinkerton’s Barbecue is good. Texas de Brazil is spendy but if I died there I’d die happy. Burns BBQ is really good. Truth is really good. Don’t go to Papas or Spring Creek. They’re fine, but they’re only one step better than going to an Applebee’s.

    I know there are others but it’s 6am and I was out until almost 3 drinking. Good luck!



  • Y’all only get to hear about our shitty politicians, and they do suck diseased horse wang. However, there’s a lot of cool shit to do and a lot of cool people to hang out with.

    “Come to Texas! We have Mexican and TexMex food, delicious brisket, and some drunk idiot will blow shit up for your entertainment! Just don’t come if you’re pregnant and planning to get an abortion.”

    Uncle Nub (yes, that was a real person) would be proud of me for bringing people to watch that and eat.









  • I hate to say it, but Amazon Handmade is the only one stop shop I’ve found that can compete so far. I’m hoping that changes soon.

    Depending on what you want there are specific marketplaces dealing in it. Aftcra tried to do American handcrafted stuff but they closed down recently. Most of the places are just T-shirt or other textile printing on demand or they give you the tools to make your own storefront without the cohesive “search everything we’ve got” format of Etsy.

    That’s what I’ve found, which means I could be way the fuck off base because I’m just a drunk and I’m not passionate about handmade goods unless I happen to run across them locally.
