The Austin City Limits Music Festival is gearing up to provide festival-goers with an expansive array of food options, featuring classic favorites as well as a variety of new vendors ready to tantalize taste buds this year. According to a recent KVUE article, attendees can enjoy selections from local restaurants in several areas with ACL Eats situated between The Big Tent and Tito's Handmade Vodka Stage, ACL Sweets located near T-Mobile and Bonus Tracks stages, and La Pachanga Eatery beside the Barton Springs East entrance.
For those looking to indulge in a curated taco experience, The Austin American-Statesman reports that La Pachanga Eatery will feature an array of taco vendors brought together by Taco Mafia, a collaboration of local business owners. New vendors Con Todo, Cuantas Hamburguesas, Discada, La Santa Barbacha, Norte ATX, Paprika ATX, Vaquero Taquero, and Veracruz All Natural will make their debut, offering authentic taco delights to festival enthusiasts.
Aside from the taco-heavy lineup, ACL Eats will introduce several first-time vendors such as BBG’s, CM Smokehouse, and The Wurst Place, as per KVUE's coverage. Additionally, the sweets lovers aren't left out, with newcomers like CVT Soft Serve and Gelato Paradiso joining the ACL Sweets section, bringing an icy respite to the typically warm Austin weather. To add to the shopping experience, ACL Market also welcomes new shops such as Holo Eyes and Uptown Cheapskate.
While the festival embraces new flavors, many Austin eateries that have become synonymous with the ACL experience are returning. Therefore, stalwarts like JuiceLand, Chi’Lantro, and The Original Black's Barbecue will continue serving their signature dishes, ensuring that longtime fans can still enjoy their festival favorites. As reported by KVUE, these eateries will be set up in the ACL Eats area, providing a familiar refuge amidst the excitement of new culinary discoveries.
Furthermore, The Big Tent, which has transformed from the Barton Springs Beer Hall, will now be slinging pies from Bambino alongside craft beers and kegged cocktails, as highlighted by The Austin American-Statesman. For those seeking beverages beyond the food courts, spots like Barton Beach Club Tiki Bar, and El Patioville are slated to serve drinks and light snacks for festival-goers looking to refresh and recharge.
In anticipation of the upcoming festival, a complete list of vendors and where to find them has been made available, ensuring attendees can plan their dining strategy well in advance. The array of options confirms ACL Fest's commitment to showcasing Austin's culinary scene and providing a wide selection of snacks and meals to fuel the music-filled days and nights.
