Las Manitas was an extremely special place in Austin before the latest wave of growth. You can read more about the place at the following websites; http://www.texasmonthly.com/story/menu-las-manitas-avenue-cafe http://downtownaustinblog.org/2010/02/04/what-happened-to-las-manitas/ http://www.yelp.com/biz/las-manitas-avenue-cafe-austin-2

From the Austin History Center’s Restaurant Menus Collection. At some point (I believe it was during the early 2000′s), the owner of Kat’s Deli & Bar ran for mayor in Austin.

Notice the Avalon Dinner Club’s menu header about hiring “some inexperienced people” “due to the war.”
Also check out the chicken delivery cars.

Selections from the finding guide of the Mexican American Collection at the Austin History Center. There was a Mexican American Chamber of Commerce in Austin in the 1980s. I was also not aware of the TV show “Let the People Speak,” which ran for 16 years, or of the group Tejanos in Action.
There was also a Festival de las Plantas in Austin for at least 3 years. I am not certain if this continues but it appears to be a multicultural, all-age event that in 2005 promoted such themes as organic gardening and medicinal plant use. The festival was part of PODER, a Mexican American Austin-based environmental activist group.

Old Seville was located at 1601 Guadalupe Street, in the historic building that now houses The Clay Pit Restaurant.
American Food: Huacamole, ham sandwich, wop salad, and nachos.
Although it is a slur, “Wop salad” was something I saw on a few menus from this era. It seems to refer to New Orleans-style Italian salad. Recipe here.
“THE SOUTH’S MOST UNIQUE RESTAURANT”

La Tapatía was located at 1509 East 6th Street, now an empty lot next to Cisco’s. “Cocktails” includes Pineapple, pineapple juice, and Sauerkraut?

La Fiesta was at 806 Red River Street, near what is now Stubb’s Barbeque. Note the ‘guacamole’ spelling, air cooled canasta room (for ladies!), and Texas vs. Out of state beer (out of state is 5 cents more).
“...WITH THE SOUTH OF THE BORDER ATMOSPHERE!”

The Pioneer Drive-In. Note the inclusion of ‘huacamole’ as a salad bowl option. I found that many restaurants used this spelling ‘huacamole’ in menus that seemed to be from this time period.

Austin History Center’s Restaurant Menus Collection. Pig Sandwich Restaurant.
Looks like a Texas chain. 3801 Guadalupe; might have been related to or come before/after the Triple XXX Restaurant there.

Triple XXX Restaurant. Not certain on the date on this place. It was a 24 hour spot and the menu has the above blurb about Austin.
2801 Guadalupe Street is now a Torchy’s Tacos. Gross.
