South Lamar, Austin · restaurant
The Bob Armstrong Dip—a cast iron skillet of chile con queso layered with seasoned meat, guacamole, and sour cream—sets the tone here and routinely overshadows everything else on the table. Margaritas come sharp and fresh with cold-pressed lime, Angus beef fajitas arrive still sizzling, and brisket enchiladas with chipotle sauce are the quiet reason people make the trip down South Lamar.
