HEB is one of the more popular grocery chains in TX. I personally like them.

When I was stationed in Del Rio in the late 90s I remember HEB having some sort of tortilla chip that was bomb! I forget the name of the bag of chips.

Oh and thank you for shopping at Costco. Tits worked there for 35+ years and your contribution to our retirement/401k is greatly appreciated 🤣🤣🤣.  When all my buddies tell me they just got back from a Costco run and complain they dropped 500 to a grand they tell me, "Fucking beers are on you, I'm contributing to your fat ass living off your wife." 🤣🤣.

Seriously, does anyone in Texas know what I'm talking about?

Congrats on your promotion, but here are things you'll want to know about Austin (and Texas, in general).  I used to work in Austin a bunch in the late 20-teens.

1. Austin does get hot.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

2. TexMex is garbage. 

3. Not all "Mexican" places in Texas are TexMex.  No self-respecting Mexican joint would serve "queso".

4. Most "Mexican" food in Texas is terrible (don't let anyone tell you otherwise).  Places there rarely take chances with bold flavors.  For the first several years of going to Austin, the hottest hot sauce I had was at Taco Bell.

5. If you are driving down a road and see that the far right or left lane is completely open, don't be fooled.  Those lanes are about to disappear without any signs or warnings.

6. The automatic u-turns under overpasses are awesome.  Wish we had those in California.

7. The music scene in downtown, generally on 6th street, is fun to a point.  A lot of college kids.

8. I hope you like bats (not the baseball kind) because Austin has a few overpasses and/or bridges where they live.

9. Don't be fooled by the "Keep Austin Weird" shirts in the airport.  Austin is only weird relative to the rest of Texas.  This isn't Portland.

10. Not all BBQ places in Austin, or Texas in general, are good.  Stiles Switch on N Lamar Blvd was good back then.  Please don't go to Rudy's.  There was supposed to be some great place just outside of town, but I was told it often closed around 2 pm because it ran out of food.

11. For good ethnic food, Houston is probably your best choice.  Just don't go there in June.

12. Don't expect good food in San Antonio along the River Walk.  It's pretty, but every meal I've had there was terrible.

13. Jack Allen's Kitchen in Round Rock (Chisholm Trail Road) is a great farm-to-table restaurant.  Also try Roaring Fork on Stoneblake Blvd in Austin.

14. There are an unusual few highways for such a big city in Austin.  Some are toll roads.

15. Some drivers there are aggressive, but some seem to need written invitations to merge into your lane after you've given them space for the last 10 minutes.

There are authentic Mexican places in South Texas. Rudy's isn't even top 20 or Top 50 BBQ.

You'll either love it or hate it. Austin isnt considered "Texas" by many Texans these days because of the influx of transplants (lots of Californians) and their extreme liberal political views. So many transplants there now, it's almost hard to find a native Texan.
Overall, Texas is still a great state, and the BBQ and TexMex cant be matched anywhere.

Also get ready. You havent experienced heat like a Texas summer. 100-105 and throw in some humidity.

The transplants comment is correct but there are plenty of native Texans in Austin.

Austin is great but I prefer Lakeway/hills area. Scenic, beautiful, etc.
Lots of great food and places to see, whether it's History (lots of it in downtown), music or outdoor stuff. Robert Plant used to live in Austin, living legend and a Rock god! Austin also trans-friendly

Congrats. I went to Austin last year and really enjoyed it. Had a great time. Of course visiting and living in a place are totally different, so don't know actual city.

Which part of the city? You didn't see me around there? Haha. Austin is fun though.

What is considered the nicest neighborhood in Austin/Cedarpark/Round Rock area?

Cedar Park is nice and then Lakeway is a step up from that. For the nicest (or maybe most prestigious and expensive) is West Lake Hills. Michael Dell lives there (worth $207 billion) and Elon Musk has a house there. There's a plethora of celebrities who live there/own homes there too (I know Brad Pitt and Madonna had places there).
