Secret Food Tours: Austin - BBQ, Tacos & Downtown Flavors｜United States

Join us on our Secret Food Tours: Austin – Downtown and let our expert local guides lead you on a culinary adventure through the heart of Texas’ capital. Known as the Live Music Capital of the World, Austin also boasts one of the most exciting food scenes in the United States, a true blend of tradition, creativity, and southern hospitality.

Your journey begins at Fareground, Austin’s modern downtown food hall, before diving straight into the city’s legendary flavors. First, you’ll indulge in Central Texas pit-style BBQ brisket, slow-smoked to perfection and paired with the best pinto beans in town. Then, we’ll grab an Instagram-worthy breakfast taco, a local favorite with a cult following that every visitor must try.

As we stroll past Austin landmarks like Willie Nelson’s statue and the venue for Austin City Limits, your guide will share fascinating stories of the city’s history, culture, and food traditions. Along the way, you’ll enjoy a Secret Dish that shows off Austin’s playful, creative side.

Next, cool down with a smoothie made with Texas wildflower honey, then head back toward Congress Avenue to see some of the city’s most historic buildings. To keep the flavor adventure going, we’ll savor a Reuben slider from a food truck that became a local institution.

We’ll finish on a sweet note with a flan-inspired cheesecake, a decadent dessert created just for our tour. And, as with every Secret Food Tour, there’s our delicious Secret Dish to surprise you along the way.
