Exciting Culinary Arrivals in Austin
There’s a buzz in the Austin food scene as exciting new eateries and food trucks set up shop in the city. One particularly notable addition is Alteño Austin, a Mexican restaurant from the talented creators behind Denver’s acclaimed Fonda Fina Hospitality. Scheduled to open this summer at the vibrant 1 Hotel Austin, Alteño promises to bring authentic flavors from Jalisco, crafted from familial recipes passed down from chef Johnny Curiel's father. With dishes like pan de elote with huitlacoche butter and langosta al chileatole, it’s no wonder this establishment has garnered praise from the Michelin Guide and the James Beard Foundation.
