TipThe South Lamar patio under live oaks is the best seat; no reservations, walk-in only, go early.

OrderThe cochinita pibil from the Sunday hacienda brunch buffet, plus a bowl of pozole.

Barley Swine in Austin is Bryce Gilmore's farm-driven Burnet Road tasting room, the chef's first kitchen since 2010, with a Texas-only sourcing rule.
