Hiking underneath the brutal Texas sun is one of the fastest ways to work up an appetite, and one of Austin’s most popular trails just so happens to be located right near a mouthwatering taco joint. Tacodeli, a local institution since 1999, is mere steps away from the iconic Barton Creek Greenbelt, so you can refuel after getting in some exercise.
Austin’s Tacodeli has grown into a household name, with nearly a dozen locations across Texas (and salsa stocked in grocery stores worldwide!), but its humble roots can be traced back to Spyglass Road.
