100 of My Favorite Things To Do in Austin, TX - #1

Real Estate Agent with Ivy Blessing Realty LLC

Looking for something great to do in Austin, TX?  Today I will start adding this woman's perspective of the best of Austin. Of course, I start with my favorite obsession...FOOD!

#1  Eat Tortilla Soup at Baby Acapulco

tortilla soup

Ok, I can guess what you are thinking now. Eat soup?  That doesn't sound that exciting.  Well, get this, when I first moved to Austin I was in a soup club dedicated to eating this soup almost weekly. It's an experience worth having.

The Baby A's soup is a HUGE serving. The steamy, hot, spicy mix of chicken, cheese, cilantro, purple onions, and tortillas makes my mouth so happy, ESPECIALLY when you pull out that mix and place it in a corn tortilla (soup will allot about 3 tacos out of the soup).

Price is $7.95. You will leave full and maybe a little inebriated if you have more than one purple margarita (my friends call them "purple nurples" and just about everyone has a wild story to share after leaving Baby A's. You've been warned!).  Austinites, please feel free to comment and share your stories or your favorite eats and treats!

Baby Acapulco is a family-owned and operated restaurant in Austin with 5 locations. Support Local Austin Businesses!

Tortilla soup rocks. Really.  Whether to warm you up on a cold day or as a light meal in summer.  There's so many variations in Austin restaurants, I haven't gotten around to trying Baby A's - I'll have to put it on the list!

Hello Laura - I have to agree.  Baby A's Tortilla Soup is great.  I can't wait for the remaining 99 things!

Laura - The purple Margaritas are pretty intense too. People usually ask soon after drinking it what's in them when they feel tipsy from drinking only one of them, lol!

Surprisingly enough - except for my friend Jimbo's tortilla soup - I love the one Central Market makes. But let's be honest - if I was doing my 100 fave things on Austin - I'd have to expand the list as soon as I realized I had gotten to #99 and they were all food related!!
