Tip: Migas on a homemade corn tortilla is the order; arrive before 9:30am to dodge the office-worker rush.

Cuantos Tacos in Austin is the East 12th food truck for Mexico City-style trompo tacos on nixtamalized tortillas, the cheapest entry to a Michelin-recognised.
Try: Mexico City-style trompo tacos
Tip: Order at least three tacos; the suadero and al pastor are the room's standouts at the price point.
P. Terry's Burger Stand in Austin is the South Lamar original since 2005, the local burger chain serving fresh-ground beef burgers on the cheap.
Try: Cheeseburger and fries

Las Trancas in Austin is the East Cesar Chavez taco truck for late-night al pastor and barbacoa, a Texas Monthly best-tacos pick with the cheapest tacos.
Try: Tacos al pastor
Tip: Tacos are small; order four. The truck runs until midnight, ideal for after-bar dinner.
Round Rock Donuts in Round Rock is the Lone Star doughnut counter since 1926, a 4:30am opening with egg-yolk-yellow yeast doughnuts at a buck or two.
Try: Yellow yeast doughnut
Tip: The original yellow doughnut is the order; the Texas-size novelty doughnut is for sharing.
Pueblo Viejo on Tillery Street in Austin is the 2010 East Side taco truck from Nestor and Margarita, the city's regular-rotation breakfast-taco trailer.
Try: Breakfast tacos

Halal Bros in Austin is the West Campus halal chicken-and-rice counter on Guadalupe, the cheapest reliable halal plate in town and the closest meal to UT.
Try: Chicken-and-rice platter
Tip: The chicken-and-rice platter is the campus default; the white-sauce-and-hot-sauce combo is the menu hack.
