Fodor's Expert Review Rosie's Tamale House

$ Greater Austin Breakfast

This little nondescript shack usually has a swarm of locals each morning clamoring for their favorite breakfast tacos. But for a sit-down meal, head across the street to the official restaurant in a big, red building where you can order Rosie's signature tamales or enchiladas. Famed Texas singer-songwriter Willie Nelson is a frequent enough customer to have his very own dish, Willie's Plate: a crispy beef taco, one cheese enchilada smothered in chili con carne, and a side of guacamole salad. There's no liquor license, so bring your own cooler of beer.
