Cisco's is open for breakfast and lunch only. 2113 Manor Rd. Those looking for ways to revive older neighborhoods should visit this cafe east of the interstate in an area of the city that is economically depressed. A small, homey cottage has been turned into a thriving enterprise that includes a large kitchen and herb garden plus a cooking and garden shop. The house has been divided into small cozy dining rooms, while outside there are tables on the patio.
Visitors can stroll through the kitchen garden before or after brunch, lunch or dinner.
The menu is a variety of pastas, enchiladas, grilled fish and chicken dinners and sandwiches and salads. After dining here, wander through the on-site store where the house salad dressings are sold plus cookware and garden tools. Eastside is open daily for lunch and dinner, brunch on the weekends. Cabrito, spit-roasted baby goat, is a house specialty at this East Austin restaurant, about a mile and a half east of the interstate. The walls are hung with portraits honoring Mexican President Benito Juarez and American Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy plus the assassinated Robert F. Kennedy.
