Restaurant near Zach Scott Theater

Hello everyone! My husband and I are going to be in Austin on January 4 to see Santaland Diaries at the Zach Scott Theater. Does anyone know of any restaurants in the area that we can eat at before the show? We%26#39;re not very picky, but we do love mexican food!

Thank you for your help!

Restaurant near Zach Scott Theater

welcome to Austin, TearBearchickie ~

the Zach Scott theatre is just about 3 blocks away from one of our major restaraunt rows- which is along Barton Springs Rd ....

On BSprings Rd is the legendary CHUYS _+ good green chile ! often long waits so go early ~

Also, nearby for good Mexican food is South First St ... along which are at least 3 of my favorite Mexican Palaces between BSprings Rd and Oltorf St ..... including Little Mexico, ( great mole !) , La Reyna ( great authentic bakery ), and Polvos (michocoan ) .. several other joints along there too ....

Then , for high test Mid Mexico cuisine, in North Central Austin is the lovely Fonda San Miguel ....

East Austin? that is where the legendary El Azteca is located and also, Juan in a Million, and Arredondos%26#39; original location ...

All are excellent ~ be aware that each regional cuisine is influenced from joint to joint even within our town- depending on the %26#39; style %26#39; of preparation/ chilies preference / and cooking.

Any one of these ya can%26#39;t help but enjoy !

let us know whatcha find and like !

Thank you so much!

The previous poster is right about that area--Barton Springs Road has some great places and is right by the theater. I would recommend Shady Grove (especially with nice weather) or Chuy%26#39;s. Both are very popular though, so be prepared to wait or go early. A little north has Z-Tejas (6th and Lamar) and El Arroyo (5th and Mopac). Vinny%26#39;s is a fairly good place on Barton Springs on the other side of Lamar from the restaurant row.
