Shopping, food

The farmer's market on Saturday here is fantastic, coupled with some great shops in the area.

Our favorite farmers market happens every Sunday morning in the beautiful Mueller Park area. You can get some fantastic noms and check out a movie at the local Alamo Drafthouse.

This is our absolute favorite place for fantastic beers, tortas, and breakfast tacos. If you're looking for a fantastic morning coffee and that can turn into a phenomenal brunch beer, this is the place to go.

Uroko has our favorite sushi hand-rolls! It's so flavorful. While you're there, also check out Medici Coffee next door!

Famous tacos (breakfast and lunch)

Our favorite mezcal cocktail bar is hidden above a great Mexican restaurant. You'll definitely want the mole enchiladas at Mi Madres, and you can't go wrong with anything on Techo's menu upstairs.

If you're in the Domain, you'll want to check out one of Daniel's favorite coffee shop. Look for the single-origin Americano or the chocolate latte.

This is a casual cafe - No matter what you get, it'll be delicious.

If you go on the weekend, get there as early as possible. These donuts are famous!

Does Chuy's get a lot of hype for being a fan-favorite Tex-Mex location? Yes, and for good reason! You'll always have a good time at Chuy's.
