Are Austin's Tacos Better Than Its Barbecue? - Dining on a Dime

[@MRP78]

Lucas....you are smooth with your pick up lines. I'll have to remember that one.

[@FolsomBluesPrison]

Lucas Peterson seems like one of the most genuine people you could ever hope to meet, he seems like (and I am sure he is) such a nice guy, I subscribed to Eater just because of how much of a skillful presenter he is.

[@CouchBaggins]

"Would you let me sample your fish taco?" Erm....

[@ghettowoodfb6772]

lmao

[@terrabus1]

The look into the camera and slight smile as he said it was perfect.

[@jnnx]

Yes, you have the ability to read back the obvious cringeworthy, trying-2-hrd, and coming off like 12 year old boy. Congrats, you win the internetz!

[@jaseclark9916]

i realize it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released series online?

[@mattmcmaniac]

Lucas, I appreciate that you don't use hyperbole and excessive language when describing the food. You're reactions seem more genuine while still communicating how delicious it is.

[@keviinkins]

Lucas definitely got her number!

[@patrickjmt]

tex-mex > bbq. i eat tex-mex / mexican about once a week, the only time i eat bbq is when people from out of town visit. change my mind.

[@itscloudyinside]

I love Lucas Peterson. That is all.

[@nicksmith3746]

Baby J Why? No enthusiasm...

[@Christian-gj4uw]

Nick Smith because he's genuine and straight to the point. He doesn't have this fake personality that other hosts do.

[@izeofthewrld]

I started watching Dining on a Dime early this year and was telling my cousin of all the places. He was so amazed considering I live in Pakistan and he's lived in Austin all his life. I'm saving up for a foodie tour across America. Kudos to Lucas (and Eater) for such a well executed series!

[@keiffactory]

Lucas please bring the series to Toronto. We don't have dishes that define our city, but the diversity of food that our multicultural communities can offer will surely draw you in.

[@EudaemoniusMarkII]

I love that you mentioned the lawn man. I have so much going on around my house that when I am making cooking videos, I have just given up on Mondays....or as I call it, hell. Garbage trucks, Recycle Trucks, Gardeners, Street sweepers. All that, plus the airport. I feel ya. Hey, come check out my cooking, and lets food trip!

[@sbalchan]

I think Bu7MaiD075 is upset because 1) Lucas is better at everything than him/her or 2) See option 1. Great episode as usual Lucas! You rock! And FRIED AVOCADO!!! Sweet Lord in heaven. Yassss!

[@Cookie-sf6fs]

you had me cracking up with the bird statement ha! you know those birds get remnants of people's tacos

[@RustyB5000]

1:43 he wants to sample her fish taco

[@randyromero9966]

[@awfulaim912]

[@ryandickerson9699]

Jeffrey Bok I'm hungry now. Coup?

[@tashi28]

Taco stand on every corner!

[@MaRCuSiZM]

lucas needs hiw own show. at least 30 min per episode.

[@SkyreeXScalabar]

Lucas can review fruit loops and I'd still watch it!

[@akhan329]

Yusss, my weekly fix of Lucas. Thank you Eater!

[@KPMattWu]

Absolutely LOVE Mellizoz's in Austin. Great choices all around!

[@TheDylanBowman]

Every time I see a Lucas video, I know I'm in for a treat.

[@phlegmmmmm]

Another boss episode! Add this to the great canon of vital and important taco work

[@joshuajackson5654]

Refreshing and awesome. Great episode!

[@maxxxxxx74]

Wow! That looks amazing! Thank you Eater and Lucas!

[@swirlypop123]

i luv eater, i luv this series, & i luv lucas. luv luv luv luv

[@OMFGITZMOMO]

As much as I love Lucas' show, I'm not sure if he's such a nice guy or because every place that he has been to has been flawless, but it would be nice to hear some criticism from time to time!

[@eater]

Good comment. We vet and scout our locations ahead of time with the support of our Eater editors in each city. So, we're not so much getting lucky as we are picking places that we know will be great. Why eat bad food, you know?

[@00Eamonn]

That's very commendable; I like the positivity.

[@silverlve70]

I like how you find the good in everything... might not always be that the food is the best.. but there's still something good to be mentioned.

[@gabrielleandres8581]

He does have criticisms with the food he eats... He's just not a dick about it

[@dustin3596]

don't think that's the point of this series

[@valleo27]

Lucas Back at it again! C'mon the guy needs a proper food documentary

[@TrustStolen]

the part where lucas said there was a big ass bird made me laugh so hard i dunno why, anyways thanks for the video eater and lucas :)

[@IceFish.]

Really enjoy these vids with lucas great presenter

[@imandriaX]

I need my weekly dose of DND. Cant wait till next week!

[@DJFaNaTiiC]

Fried avacado is pretty incredible, especially if it has a savory batter.

[@TheBehelit]

HELL YEAH SAMPLE THAT FISH TACO

[@are8880]

[@VincentProchoroff]

[@Drhodes1]

How many languages does Lucas Peterson speak? Edit: Looks like he speaks Spanish, Dutch, Mandarin, German, and French in varying levels of proficiency.

[@stefanielauchman7489]

Drbutts Where does he speak dutch?

[@Drhodes1]

It's on his linkedin profile. He confirms his dutch in the latest behind the scene video.

[@stanleechina7736]

[@judesabo1083]

Born and raised in Downtown ATX, we are a taco town. No debate.

[@swervon617]

Not a video you should watch before eating breakfast. I'm dying over here!

[@MrBabyLegs107]

Torchys Tacos is Def a favorite

[@leolldankology]

2nd taqueria looks the best

[@MichelleTucker1]

Ohh, I so miss Austin, my hometown. Colorado is great, but the tacos, heck, the food in general doesn't come close.

[@BruceNorris1990]

Watching this and being all sad that dining on a dime is gone :'(

[@yellowstone4087]

Please mention price also

[@neologics]

But what were the prices? Supposed to be inexpensive-Awesome tacos!

[@zzgeorgezdane8559]

The standard taco that all trailers must put forth to compete in Austin is bistec, maiz tortilla, con cebolla y cilantro .

[@chuckaholicpunk]

Lucas! come back to Chicago, we'll have a taco crawl here!

[@ggarza]

Hey, Lucas! Come on down to San Antonio for some real Mexican food!

[@Kriscoyote]

austin does tacos like a pro

[@odeed]

Are apples better than oranges?

[@randyhendrix5375]

fried avocado.. okaaayy. Caught me off guard.

[@JurgenAndersonMusic]

Tacos More in riverside is bomb

[@KevinBullard]

live in ATX and there is no shortage of MexiFood Trucks that kill it. also about 500 kickass mom n pop dive ass MexiFood joints brick & mortar that also kill it. Yum.

[@toukairin354]

[@skkscs]

[@sean-jz8jk]

[@jmontis2]

[@justaddmusclecom]

Wow these Tacos look so fresh and amazing. Love these kind of Success stories. Keep doing your thing, love your content. Better than the food network 100%.

[@earlurgello2712]

I just salivated

[@DarksouIjah]

[@richardckelley6645]

DarkSouljah lol

[@riderad9701]

Man, tacos can get expensive! Just started my channel

[@theonlygus]

[@ariel3725]

Lucas sounds different when he's doing voiceover.

[@viviane86zq]

Did anyone notice Lucas is quite tall?

[@Mnguyen92]

Lucas notice me taco master!

[@mik3airborn388]

As soon I see slaw on tacos, I know it's hipster garbage. I have to see a Mexican person cooking it up too!

[@austincoyneTV]

I haven’t even watched the video but yes

[@silverlve70]

At 5:55 - Is this really, really...? LOL

[@badasstronaut]

Remember tacos in 2016? Austin Texas does.

[@evilkittiekat]

WAS THAT A DOUBLE ENTENDRE?!

[@emperorehryn2370]

Good job, he got some fish taco...

[@joncurtis19]

Valentinas wins it

[@manuelhoyer8911]

This guy looks like Martin Shkreli

[@adrianac1569]

You should have gone to Torchys and Mi Madres ^_^

[@deathbass13]

you want good tacos, creep through south Texas. and we're talking lower than San Antonio

[@Jolene8]

I over tacos! Nom! ... the Lebanese may have brought the technique of braising the meat vertically, but seasoned spiced meats tamed by sweetness has been part of the middle eatern/spaniard/south American tradition for centuries, the "taco" or flauta being part of native history for longer. Stuffed bread foods/recipes originates from all corners of the world, each carrying its own history. You should do more in the history of filled breads. *geek alert* lol!

[@LivingstonFishing]

I’ve never had a taco in Austin made with REAL HOMEMADE tortillas. That is ESSENTIAL for tacos. If you want real tacos and real tortillas, come and hour south to San Antonio. Next.

[@erreographics]

DOBLE TORTILLA!

[@jlopez47]

Hi Hat Pub had some great Shredded chicken tacos, but I believe Hi Hat is no longer in business.

[@smc08c]

There's a family who sells barbacoa tacos with handmade corn tortillas at the farmers market in Round Rock next to the REI. 10/10 would grab a Big Red with them and take a siesta.

[@黃氏玉-i4m]

tesbn tuyet v ngon thank

[@stanleechina7736]

Sharma is never pork ? who writes this crap

[@earlurgello2712]

Damn latinas!

[@kdeeznuttz]

Nice spanish chino

[@zzgeorgezdane8559]

Its funny cuz nearly all the shout outs for best taco places in the austin tx are whitebread establishmnts where no self respecting mexicano would darken doorway....tacodeli....torchts...next your gonna talk bout flour tortillas!

[@liquidpersuasion]

Lucas got a girl to sample her taco.

[@jonhymn3773]

Definitely not a taco town. In fact, most tacos are underwhelming in Austin unless you hit up Valentina's for a brisket taco.. Which is technically a BBQ joint. Please don't ever claim that Austin's tacos are better than its barbecue!

[@d3dns1d3]

i thought austin was a puffy taco town? not even from there and i know that.

[@ale2107]

You eat tacos in a weird but cute way 💘

[@Six6legz]

Seriously dude.. @ the host guy..you're the go-to critic on youtube. let's do Sydney when you get a chance. josh [at]hotmailcomau...ill take you round. let's do it Eater

[@ericbarradas9012]

you know they smashed, and he got a second fish taco....;)

[@hotcoco05]

What's with Californians and fish tacos?

[@DarkEpyon123]

raised in Las Vegas, and i absouletly love fish tacos. more so with the friend baja version, but i get down with the grilled versions as well.

[@coldonehernandez4906]

Fish tacos are very popular in Baja California, where you will find the best Mexican style seafood in all of Mexico, obviously since we're neighbors americans love this tacos and you find a lot of baja style fish tacos all over Cali.. Im first generation Mexican American, I 've traveled all over the Pacific Coast of Mexico and Baja is food paradise
