Rachel 🌮 Austin Texas Foodie

I said what I said ✌🏽These iconic Austin eats are all over the internet and are actually worth the hype 🔥 Which Austin foods are worth the hype to you?? 👀

Just a little reintroduction post for anyone new here! 🤠 I’m Rachel 👋🏽💗 I started 512bites after wanting to expand my horizons in the Austin food scene, explore all the amazing food & drinks this city has to offer & share my recs with my fellow Texans—both natives and transplants 🤠🌮 I moved to Austin in 2009 from San Antonio to go to UT Austin (hook ‘em🤘🏽), started my main account @rachellately in 2010 (it focuses more on things to do in Austin & ATX humor), then established 512bites in 2016 as a little side hobby. 🍔 It has now surpassed my main account and has grown far more than I ever imagined it would 🙌🏽✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whether you’re new here or you’ve been around for awhile now, thank you for following along. It truly means the world to me! 🥰 I hope this platform has helped you in some way, and I can’t wait to continue sharing even more of the best spots in Austin with y’all! ❤️ #512bites . . . . .  #atxbloggers #austinblogger #austinliving #austinlife #downtownaustin #southaustin #austintx #austininfluencer #austinfoodblogger #atxblogger #downtownatx   #austinguide #thingstodoinaustin #austinlife #austinite #texasinfluencer #austinfoodie #texastravel #atx #atxinfluencer #atxlifestyle #exploreaustin #atxlife #austinbloggers #texastodo #eastaustin #northaustin #visitaustin

Pickle Pizza in Austin, Texas 🥒🍕👀 worth the hype or nah? I finally tried the viral pickle pizza from All Day Pizza, and it’s safe to say I’m a fan 🔥 Made with ricotta cream, mozzarella, sliced dill pickle, shaved garlic, lemon pepper panko, olive oil, fresh dill and a side of ranch dressing, this def isn’t just any plain old pizza topped with pickles lol So is it worth the hype? Yes, but obvi only if you love pickles (which I’m a huge fan of)! Also, had someone told me I was about to wait 45 minutes in line just to order, I would have gone elsewhere tbh 😅 But I’ve been told if you come on a weekday the line isn’t so bad. This is part of series where I’ll be trying notorious eats and drinks of Austin that have gained a reputation and whether or not they were worth the $$ (for me), so let me know which Austin foods I should try next 👀 📍4300 Speedway, Austin, TX 78751 📍 3111 W 35th St, Austin, TX 78703 #austinrestaurants #austinpizza #austinfoodie #austineats #atxfoodie

They had me at FREE DESSERT! 🤯🍪🍨 Right now @bjsrestaurants  is offering a free pizookie (baked cookie topped with ice cream) when you order from a list of their selected entrees (think pizza, burgers, salads, chicken parmesan, and lots more) all for a total of $13 👀 As for pizookies, you can have your pick from 6 of their best flavors; I personally love the triple chocolate or cookies & cream the most (they have a gluten free option too). This deal is available Monday through Friday ALL DAY, so get yours quick while you can! 🥳 #BJsRestaurantsPartner

a few of my favorite affordable, no-frills Austin restaurants that have never let me down 😮‍💨 this is a good one to save for later 📌 #austineats #atxeats #austinfoodie #austinrestaurants

NEW✨ This brand new sushi spot is the first sushi restaurant to open on Rainey street 🍣 And the best part is they already have a great happy hour where everything is $10 or less including nigiri, temaki (hand rolls), appetizers and cocktails 🥳 Must orders 🔥⬇️ bluefin tuna temaki yellowtail tiradito Pork belly skewers all the nigiri 😮‍💨 ⏰ Their happy hour is Monday-Thursday 5-6:30pm or ALL DAY on Sundays 🥳 Def recommend if you ever find yourself on Rainey street (it’s more south btw so away from all the bars). 🚗 for parking, the MACC parking garage is back open which is $2 an hour, or a flat rate of $5 if you park there after 6pm. It’s also FREE on Sundays! 📍51 Rainey Street @kinshoaustin [media] #austinrestaurants #austineats #austinfoodie #atxfoodie #raineystreet

One of the best Austin happy hour deals I’ve ever seen: 99 cent espresso martinis available EVERYDAY from 3-6pm at Citizen All Day ! 🥳☕️🍸 Made with real espresso and not batch made, I was genuinely shocked at how good these were 👀 During their happy hour they also have discounted appetizers as well, plus their dinner menu starts at 5pm! Big fan of the chicken vodka parm and coconut curry barramundi, but my favorite was def the sage and sausage rigatoni! 😋 📍4818 Burnet Rd, Austin, TX 78756 🚗 free parking lot [media] #austinrestaurants #austinhappyhour #atxhappyhour

A downtown Austin happy hour actually worth your time 🍴🍹👀 @eatdrinkeureka is currently offering a DAILY happy hour from 3-6pm and 9pm-close with drinks and food all costing between $4-$9. 🤯 Highly recommend they spa day margarita, mac&cheese balls, blackened shrimp tacos, and the wings 🌮🍗😮‍💨 They also have a new lunch menu everyday from 11am-3pm where every entree is only $13 each 👀 Options like fish & chips, chicken club, fish tacos, burger & fries, salmon Cesar salad, a poké bowl (my fave), plus more! FYI they also have live music and daily specials too 🥳 Fun vibes, kind staff, and good drinks & food… what more could you need? 🙌🏽 📍 200 E 6th St, Austin, TX 78701 [media] #austinrestaurants #downtownaustin #atx

NEW✨ this new Austin bar on the east side just got added to my list of new favorites 😍 My friends and I came here last Friday on a whim and ended up staying for another 8 hours (yes really lol) — good vibes, friendly staff and a great cocktail list too (I loved the blood orange mezcal marg or the frozen watermelon marg). I love that they have a stage too, so you can expect live music soon! 🎶 📍3526 E 7th street 🚗 big free parking lot in the back #austinbars #atxbars #thingstodoinaustin #eastaustin
