8 Unbeatable Foods You Can’t Miss Out on This Year at ACL

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Texas chapter.

There is no shortage of mouth watering food at Austin City Limits. So when you have some down time or need to refuel, head over to one of these spots at ACL this year.

Bananarchy

Bananarchy is more than just chocolate covered bananas — it is a banana heaven. First, frozen bananas are dunked into dreamy sauces, including milk chocolate, peanut butter and vanilla. Then, the bananas are dipped into whatever toppings your heart desires — Oreos, M&Ms, nuts, and more.

Chi’Lantro BBQ

Home of the original Kimchi fries, Chi’Lantro BBQ is serving up some seriously delicious grub this year at ACL. If you haven’t tried their Kimchi fries, now is the time — fries loaded with a magic sauce and caramelized kimchi. 

East Side King

The Brussels sprouts salad at ESK is insane. It’s truly the best kind of salad — fried and covered with sauce. Imagine a bowl of crispy fried Brussels sprouts, roughly chopped cabbage, fresh basil, cilantro, mint, onion and jalapeño covered with a sweet and spicy sauce. 

mmmpanadas

Focusing on unique flavor combinations, mmmpanadas is bringing you tasty, portable food this year at ACL. The spicy black bean empanada is a one-of-a-kind spicy mix of black bean, corn, and peppers. Deeee-lish.

Shade Tree Organic Lemonade

Cool off at ACL with an ice cold cup of lemonade. Choose from original and strawberry — perfect for your mixed drink. 

Skull & Cakebones

Is it possible to bake a vegan dessert that rivals its non-vegan counterparts? Yes, and Skull & Cakebones has done it. Try any of their vegan desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth or grab one of their ice cream cookie sandwiches filled with local coconut milk ice cream from Nada Moo.

Tamale Addiction

Tamale Addiction offers its homemade tamales for everyone, from meat eaters to vegans. But no matter your food orientation, try the Nopalitos Cactus tamales — think: thin strips of nopales (or cactus) and onions sautéed in olive oil and seasoned with oregano. Seriously, you have to try it.

Way South Philly

Bringing a little Philly to Austin, Way South Philly serves up some seriously good authentic PCS. Stick with the classic Philly Cheesesteak or get a lil’ creative and try one of their not-so-Philly creations.
