South Congress, Austin · restaurant
The 'Sorry We're Open' sign has been posted at this South Congress address since 1988, and Magnolia Cafe makes good on it by running 24 hours on weekends and until midnight every weekday. Migas, banana pancakes, and chicken piccata are equally legitimate at 2am, the kitchen doesn't care what time it is, and neither do the regulars.
House-made BBQ chicken enchiladas, a South Congress staple
Signature queso with avocado and pico de gallo, served with chips
A late-night Magnolia dinner staple — lemon-caper pan sauce over tender chicken
Cornmeal jalapeño pancake topped w/ ancho chicken, cheese & two eggs, served w/ beans & avocado
Eggs scrambled w/ spicy love butter, tomato, onion, peppers, tortilla chips & jack cheese
