Vivo

Posted on September 28th, 2007 in Food & Drink, Austin by losbrushes

Yesterday I went with a friend to Vivo for lunch. It’s a great place for me to dine with former co-workers from my old job, as it’s about halfway between there and my current company. Plus, they have an outstanding salsa that has more black pepper than most restaurant salsas and is packed with flavor. But be careful: During the week it’s best to try to get there before noon or you’ll have to wait for a table.

We had a lovely lunch of puffy tacos and enchiladas. My only complaint is that they smothered cheese over just about everything but the rice on my plate. Now I’m a big fan of cheese, but there was practically more cheese than beans. That’s just a little much for lunch.

As I was leaving I noticed the following written on a dumpster outside in huge white letters:

“GO WEST YUPPIES. STOP GENTRIFYING THE EAST SIDE.”
