Foodie Friday - Joe's Bakery & Mexican Food

BEST [MEXICAN] BREAKFAST IN AUSTIN HANDS DOWN!!!

I am extremely picky when it comes to Mexican food. When I first heard of Joe’s from a friend, I am not gonna lie, I was thinking, “You are full of s***!” The thing is that ever since I came to Austin I hadn’t found a place that truly, really, sincerely reminded me of the food from back home. There are AMAZING places in and around town, but most of them have one or two things on the menu that I actually love.

I had an interview the other day with a great company in East Austin and I drove past Joe’s on my way to the interview. I made a mental note to come back and try out their breakfast if I had time.

It was amazing!! I ordered the Breakfast Barbacoa Plate. The tortillas were obviously homemade and the barbacoa was fresh. There was so much more on their menu that I wanted to try, but alas I only have one stomach.

Oh yeah!! Did I tell you all that they also have pan dulce!!! PAN DULCE! I couldn’t try some out because I was still on my diet at the time.

If you live in Austin and haven’t been to Joe’s yet…what are you waiting for?!?! And if you are not from Austin and happen to find yourself wandering around the east side one morning, be sure to stop by Joe’s for an amazing and fulfilling breakfast!

“Joe’s Bakery has been making mouths water on the Eastside for over 50 years. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out on an originator of breakfast greatness. The “Joey Rocha Plate” is your best bet for trying several selections of food heaven. It comes with two eggs (served any way you want), pork carne guisada, potatoes, sausage or bacon, and tortillas. A tall order, I know, but worth every single bite.” – Kristy Owen with 365 Things Austin
