PART I

AUSTIN, TEXAS

THE BREAKFAST TACO CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

AUSTINS LOVE OF THE BREAKFAST TACO Austin the Breakfast Taco Capital of the - photo 7

AUSTINS LOVE OF THE BREAKFAST TACO

Austin: the Breakfast Taco Capital of the World? Hell yeah it is! And why not? The people of Austin love their breakfast tacos; they love them in the morning, for lunch, when theyre hungover, at midnight, on the streets and in abuelitas cocina! Wherever you go in Austin, youll find taqueros creating a plethora of the breakfast creations that are part of the culture of Austin. Weve got so many people making breakfast tacos that people were going crazy when they heard of the bacon shortage of 2012. Not only do we have traditional taqueros making them, but we also have pit masters, restaurateurs and all kinds of taco-making cooks hookin up breakfast tacos for the people of Austin. Last time I checked, we had over 370 places in Austin that serve breakfast tacos. Shoot, as Im writing and enjoying a cafecito at Bennu Coffee, I might just get one right now. Yeah, thats also a big thing in Austin. Coffee shop tacos.

Why do we love the breakfast taco? I think its a mix of things. We love the simplicity of the breakfast taco, the options, the comfort it gives us in our bellies and, of course, los huevos. Gotta have eggs for breakfast, right? But not necessarily in the morning. You can have breakfast tacos at almost any time of the day, and for a lot of Austinites, after a long night working, at a show or just going out, they really hit the spot, whether you wake up at 8:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. or even 6:00 p.m.

LA CULTURA DE AUSTIN

When in Austin, do as Austinites do. Eat barbecue, listen to live music, hang out in the East Austin bar scene (yeah, just ask los hipsters) and eat lots of breakfast tacos. La cultura de Austin is to do just that, and there are many reasons why Austinites are avid taco fans. Yes, were a university town; we do have our share of college tacos, and students eat them up because theyre cheap, quick and easy to handle. The affordability factor is a big one. You can still get breakfast tacos for one to two dollars in the east side, and that meal can get you through lunchtime. Were also an open peopleor, as we say, we like to Keep Austin Weird. (Yes, Im going there because its true!) I like to think that Austin has an openness to it. Were somewhat of a metropolitan city (at least were getting there), and most cities like Austin are more open to new experiences, new cultures and new people. We arent afraid of trying new things. Thats pretty good for Texas, right? Our willingness to try new things is one of the reasons we love the breakfast taco. Being close to the border helps, too. Whether its taco trailers or brick-and-mortar restaurants, weve experienced the influence of Mexican and Latino immigrants, Tejanos, Mexican-Americans and Chicanos in the city. And what do we do? We accept their (and my) taco ways with open arms! And for that, I thank you, Austin.
