Rosaritos Tacos Estilo Baja
at the Draught House Pub
every Wednesday night

My favorite beer bar in Austin is the
Draught House, and on Wednesdays
you can get some pretty excellent Bajastyle tacos from Rosarito’s. Try the
octopus with chicharron for something
unexpected. It’s got soft and smoky
octopus and crispy fried pig skins slathered with spicy red chile sauce. I’ve
eaten tacos all my life and never had
anything like it. For something a little
more approachable, try the tuna tostada
with fresh, slightly seared tuna, pickled
onions and avocado on a chalupa shell.

In my opinion, Clint Elmore is making
the best Neapolitan pizza in Austin.
His dough is crispy and lightly charred
on the outside and soft but deliciously
chewy on the inside. The sauce is fresh,
and he only uses hand-crushed Italian
San Marzano tomatoes. He pulls the
mozzarella himself every day, and the
toppings are sparse but deftly selected
(as they should be on this style of
pizza). Clint cut his teeth at Paulie Gee’s
in Brooklyn and spent some time in
Naples learning his craft.
