The next time you’re in Austin, make a reservation at this hot spot for bone marrow tacos.

Bone marrow tacos are one of the many specialty foods you'll find at Comedor.

The Husband and I spend a lot of weekends in Austin where two of our kids live.

Much of our time there is spent exploring new restaurants and last weekend we scored a reservation at one of Austin’s coolest places, Comedor.

(It was also named in the 2024 Michelin Guide.)

This modern Mexican restaurant is led by Chef Philip Speer and is known for its unique dishes like bone marrow tacos.

It’s vibey coolness means you should dress in your trendiest clothes and settle in for a night of fabulous food and exotic cocktails.

We started at the bar where The Husband ordered an old fashion and I had a spicy margarita – another one of their specialties.

The bartender asked on a scale of one to 10 how spicy I wanted it. I said four – and POW – it was spic-eeey!

The cocktail menu also includes a $48 margarita prima the bartender says is so good that people are actually willing to pay for it.

I wasn’t, so after my margarita, I shifted to cabernet.

Once we were seated, we ordered what seemed like a ton of food, but the dishes are relatively small and there was a lot we wanted to try.

We started with hummus served with a Middle Eastern flatbread, a suncheese tostado with salsa macha, charred summer squash, shishito salpicon and pescado fundido.

The Husband, of course, ordered the house specialty – bone marrow tacos – made with quelites, smoked butter and pecan gremolata – and there wasn’t a drop left on his plate.  

I had delicious fish tacos made with blistered cabbage, toreado aioli and salsa verde.

There was nothing that left us disappointed.

Anyway, if you're an adventurous foodie who needs a night out, make a reservation at this downtown hot spot in Austin.

This photo doesn't do the restaurant justice. It's absolutely beautiful, and when the sun goes down, romantic dim-lighting comes out.

It just doesn't get any prettier than this...

The hummus was amazing.

And yes, we ate all four of these fish tacos. Stop judging.
