Kerbey Lane Cafe feels like the Austin people miss when they talk about the city the way it used to be. Found in a converted house on a quiet street, it has been serving breakfast tacos since 1980, and somehow it still feels like a neighborhood secret.
I loved how the place immediately slows you down. Quirky art on the walls, a cozy dining room, and a patio that makes you want to linger.
It is the kind of spot where students, locals, and first-time visitors all blend together without anyone feeling out of place. Then the tacos show up, and everything makes sense…
