There are oodles of places to eat downtown and honestly, the hardest thing is narrowing it down to favorites. I’ve pulled together a list of places that get thrown into the mix with some of my fave menu items from each. Happy eating!
Koriente
621 E. 7th
Love, love, love the Japchei – sweet potato noodles, fresh veggies and worth adding the tofu.
La Condesa
400 W. 2nd Street
Salsas, guacamole and the street corn are what keep me coming back. If you’re looking for a more substantive meal, go for the hongos & huitlacoche huaraches.
Swift’s Attic
315 Congress
If you’re looking for snackage to accompany your drink, I’d suggest the grilled shishito peppers and edamame. Purple Curry, although pricey, is awesome, if you’re looking to fill your belly at dinner time.
24 Diner
600 N. Lamar
Love going for breakfast. My husband and I usually split the fried egg sandwich (minus the bacon) and have a veggie (beet) sausage on the side. Messy and yummy.
Hai Ky
Guadalupe Location (campus)
I swear by #83 with egg rolls – huge bowl of noodles, fresh veggies, tofu, chopped egg rolls and a peanut sauce.

La Condessa has an amazing rotating vegan board too. It’s become probably one of my most favorite dishes in town.

Good to know about Swift’s Attic — I have been wanting to try it and I’m glad to know they are veg-friendly!
they’ve been super accommodating the past couple of times and have even brought out some off-menu stuff when i mentioned i was veg.
