Experience Details

Meet up in front of Cosmic Saltillo. A lush garden oasis serving up coffee, brews and cocktails in a unique setting that is the definition of what makes East Austin a top destination for locals to hang out at.


We begin our 2 hour walking food tour with a leisure journey through a small part of the east side and stopping for the first food bite at a local favorite food truck that has grown with the neighborhood. There we will try a delicious falafel bite.


Our journey will continue with a walk through the neighborhood taking in the Historic sites and street art to our 2nd destination, a place that was once a local convenient store turned brewery. There we try a Tex-Mex bite while learning about how this place became a local favorite brewery that has won multiple awards for their craft and a place that is literally off the beaten path.


We then end our food journey with a sweet, unique bite you can’t find anywhere else, from a local place with an Austin cult following.
