El Taco Veloz
2024 Apr 05
A coworker suggested this place to me. So naturally had to make sure I checked them out. I ordered the barbacoa torta sandwich and OMG that was the best, juiciest seasoned barbacoa I’ve ever had! Only wished it came out piping hot, was more warm than anything but it didn’t take away from the flavor one bit. And the fries were delish, crunchy and hot. I got the horchata to drink, it was refreshing and tasted just how it should. Not watery at all. I can’t wait to go back and try more menu items. It was so much food I could not finish. Definitely a shareable plate in my opinion unless your stomach can handle it all in one sitting lol. The price wasn’t bad at all either.
The Skylark Lounge
2023 Oct 13
Here in Austin on vacation, and I have a former coworker who lives here and he wanted to take me to some live music. I have never been to a hole in the wall lounge and I admit when we pulled up I was a bit skeptical because parking lot was dark, it's literally like behind an abandoned building and if I was alone I'd prob bypass it lol. But once we got inside, it was a vibe. Those musicians were so amazing! Truly put their heart and soul in it. And it was jam session now so anyone in the audience who was a musician could sign up and play wjth the band. Let me tell u, everyone was getting down with the get down! Lol. I had the time of my life
Pack Square Park

Came to a festival here at this park. First time visiting. It’s a nice park with a lil amphitheater with concrete benches but enough space to bring your own chairs or blankets. They do have a restroom facility but I admit they needed some TLC while I was there. Plenty of garages nearby for parking, I parked in the buncombe county garage and it was just a short walk up and total was $6 on a Saturday.
Food Lion
2023 Aug 31
This is my fave food lion. It’s near my job, so I love going grocery shopping on my lunch breaks so I don’t have to do on wkends or when I get off work. It’s always clean, fully stocked and employees always friendly and helpful. I haven’t had one terrible encounter every time I have gone and I love that. Especially in a day and age where good customer service seems few and far between these days.
Juliana Pizza
2023 Aug 13
This place has been around forever and I don’t know how I don’t go often since it’s not far from home. But decided to go recently for lunch on a Saturday. Wasn’t too crowded, I was seated immediately after being greeted by the sweetest lady that came from the kitchen. After being seated I ordered a sweet tea (if you’re read enough of my reviews, you know how much I love my sweet tea lol) and yep you guess it, it was delish!

I originally had the idea of ordering a pizza but decided on a hot sub. I got the superstar. It was pretty good, but can’t say it’s the best I’ve ever had. Overall I will go back because I know there are other items on the menu I love.

I love the old school feel of the place. It’s like stepping back in time. Just a simple mom and pop shop with no frills that has managed to keep its doors open all these years even after a pandemic. Definitely need to check them out if you haven’t already.
