| - I may have been pissing out of both ends at the end of the night -- be it from Hussong's or something else I ate during the day -- but Hussong's is a sneaky gem in a sea of mediocre Yelp reviews.
I tend to pass over 3.5 star averages and below on Yelp because I'm a snobby white piece of shit, but I couldn't pass over Hussong's awesome dedicated vegan menu.
First things first, props to Luis (sp?). My girlfriend and I checked in with Yelp for a free shot of tequila, and were told we could only get one -- he hooked us up with two. We also each ordered what is claimed to be the original-original margarita. True or not, it was a meaty boy (that is, high in alcohol) and tasted damn good.
For food I got the vegan breakfast burrito and she got the vegan chilaquiles. We loved both. Luis decided being the best waiter ever wasn't enough, so he brought us out a side of street corn for my girlfriend's vegetarian sister, and a vegan side for the two of us -- limey, salty, delicious. Definitely vegan/lacking non-vegan street corn funk, but good stuff. If that wasn't enough, when we asked what they used for their vegan eggs, he brought out the container (picture attached). Talk about next-level service.
As a last note.. as much as I dislike live music, the Mariachi band here did covers of songs like the Spongebob Squarepants theme song, Elvis, and Lil Jon. That's diversity, and it was actually entertaining.
Hussong's is probably a great choice if you're not vegan, but if you are, it's a must. Strong drinks, excellent food, and crazy good service. Hussong's will be a definite stop from me from now on when I'm in town.
