Vegan Sushi, Pizza and Tacos for an Austin Getaway

My kind of trip planning starts with food, and Veggies Abroad’s Austin vegan guide has plenty to build a delicious day around. I’d start with ATXFOODCO., a bright green food truck at 517 S Lamar Boulevard, where the BBQ brisket is made from heirloom black bean tempeh. Almost everything on the menu is gluten-free, too.

For a sit-down dinner, I’m drawn to Nori at 3208 Guadalupe Street. The vegan Japanese restaurant serves sushi featuring ingredients like spicy Good Catch plant-based tuna, Just Egg tamago and tempura asparagus, plus creamy ramen and onigiri.

I’d also make room for Lil’ Nonna’s at 2908 Fruth Street: NY-style vegan pizza slices with toppings including Beeteroni and smoky tempeh. Then there’s The Vegan Nom at 2324 E Cesar Chavez Street, with breakfast tacos available before 4 p.m. Cactus, vegan chorizo or potatoes? That’s a happy little planning dilemma.
