A seasonal restaurant in Round Top (a town an hour and a half east of Austin) is moving into Ellis’ kitchen at Fareground through the end of 2024 — and could stick around for longer.
Y Comida opens within the Downtown Austin food hall, 111 Congress Ave., on Friday, Aug. 23. Here’s what you need to know about the culinary pop-up.
South Texas-inspired eats
Helmed by chef Nick Middleton — who’s had his hand in local eateries like Loro and Zeds — the menu boasts small plates inspired by Mexican, Cajun, and Texan flavors. Expect dishes like brisket confit tacos and duck carnitas tacos, and don’t skip the Mezcal Affogato for dessert.
Colorful cocktails
Foodies looking for a libation can peruse Ellis’ new cocktail menu, featuring agave drinks like La Playa Blanca, Pasado de Moda, Sandia Tajin, and Pepper Blossom.
Have a taste
The restaurant is first-come, first-served, and will serve guests Wednesday-Saturday from 3-8:30 p.m.
