Oh boy...

It really depends on budget and how adventurous you are food wise.

These are some of my favorites, but I don't always go for normal.

Breakfast tacos at El Primo on South 1st. It's just a truck, but the tacos are great. I hear Granny's Tacos is great too. If you want a more normal breakfast, I'd try Swedish Hill, they have 3 locations now.

Everyone always recommends Matt's El Rancho, and if you love Tex Mex, it's the place to go. I think it's overrated. I much prefer Licha's Cantina on the east side. The happy hour is extremely affordable. 

Elizabeth Street Cafe is a great Vietnamese on South 1st

If you want to try some fancier places I'd try Canje (Caribbean), Oseyo (Korean) or of course Uchi or Uchiko. The happy hour menu at Uchi and Uchiko are great value. Este on Manor is great too.

For BBQ I'd try to get into Leroy and Lewis (South Austin) or KG BBQ (truck) at Oddwood Brewing (Manor Road and Airport)

If you just want a fun place at a great location, try Hula Hut or sit outside at Gueros Taco Bar on South Congress and listen to music. Happy Hour at Loro is always fun. Sour Duck is nice too, great outdoor place with good simple food.
