La Fruta Feliz

Show up to La Fruta Feliz on a Saturday afternoon and you might think you just walked into a party, instead of a nondescript strip mall restaurant on Manor Road in East Austin. Inside you’ll find everything from karaoke and live music, to TVs playing Shrek dubbed in Spanish. It’s lively and fun, but most importantly, it’s home to excellent food. Grab some tacos or tortas if you’re here for a quick lunch, or sit down with a plate of rich and gamey goat barbacoa. Then pair it all with something off the massive list of refreshing signature juices and aguas frescas.
