Rumor has it that you could come to Cisco's before a UT game and get a Bloody Mary before 10 am. How could you not like a place like that? How could you not like seeing Texas's Power sitting among the locals? How can you not like a big circular table with one red phone in the middle of it- Who you gonna call? And, who cares if celebrities even stop in?????
A trip to Austin without a trip to Cisco's is sacri-relig for this girl. On this early morning, I found out something pretty critical. Cisco's doesn't open until 7 am, so hit that snooze button a few more times.
We have always sat in the back room, so walk on through the bakery portion, turn right, and turn right again.
This morning, I am alone in the room filled with memorabilia of early Austin, UT, and how life used to be. I order my usual: a coffee and two breakfast tacos with potato, bacon, and cheese. I always forget that they don't give you a lot of salsa, so ask for extra.
Local politicos pile in, and the topic on their mind is Rick Perry and his race for the Presidency. It's a great place to be nosey, but then again, it wasn't like they were whispering! I enjoyed my two breakfast tacos: boiled red potatoes, the crispiest bacon just the way i like it, the cheese, and the slightly sour salsa- maybe a hint of vinegar. Definitely, a great way to start the day!
Everyone should get to experience Cisco's in their lifetime. It's definitely an experience. Plus, it makes you realize that Austin isn't just weird because places like Cisco's makes it pretty dang cool.
