The mexican restaurant down the street from the hostel. Can't remember the name, but it was great and super cheap. For a little more, the tacos at Turf & Surf food truck in downtown are the most delicious I have had, probably ever. Tacos at Torchey's are also very good and super cheap. BBQ at Artz' is a bit pricey-er but well worth it.
For great nightlife try... 17 Oct 2011 Natalie, USA:
I heard the Intercontinental is great for some authentic Austin music, dancing and company. I didn't make it there, but did check out Hotel Vegas on E. 6th for a local band's EP release show. Loved it there, super chill vibe with a huge outdoor patio.

Barton Springs Pool. Diving into the water is a must.

6th street is the centre of the Austin experience, and there are countless bars to suit every mood. Great live music in most of them, too.

FOOTBALL! If you are in town for a University of Texas football game, you have to go. 100,000+ screaming Texans in a beautiful stadium. Go to Walgreens before the game, buy a UT t-shirt for $7 and some beer, and introduce yourself to the locals tailgating in the park. They will welcome you with open arms.
