Maudie's Cafe (Lake Austin Blvd.)






Location, location, location.

Located next to Goodwill, I consider Maudie's a fun place to eat because when you finish up you can always follow up with a quick trip to one of the best Goodwills in town.


I definitely recommend Maudie's. Take my advice and sit at the bar. Ask for Jose (pictured above). If he's working, you're in luck. Tell him you read about him on my blog.


I like what they've done inside with the wall of bottles. It reminds me of a program I saw on like the Discovery Channel. These people had built their home out of recycled materials and they used glass bottles and an adobe like mixture to build walls. The walls served a double purpose, which I guess was to be a wall and then to let in light. Anyways, they have a bottle wall in Maudie's and it's real cool.


I usually get the chicken verde enchiladas (scrumptious), but on my last trip I chose the hamburger. I wouldn't usually get a burger at a Mexican restaurant, but Jose recommended it, so I knew it'd be good. He was right, the cheese was sooo good. I think they use the same cheese that goes in the queso dip on the burgers, so it's super melty and gets in the crannies of the burger. Each bite oozed a secret hidden cheese surprise of goodness.


I had a frozen margarita, two actually, and they were good.
