605 West Ave, Austin, TX 78701
Opened in 2013 and currently present in two different locations, Burro Cheese Kitchen brings the grilled cheese sandwich experience to the next level.

The Mighty Cone
1720 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78704
The Mighty Cone was born out of Chef Jeff Blank’s mission of creating different variants of his beloved Hot ‘n’ Crunchy cones, from his first successful trout dish at the Lake Travis restaurant (detaining the honor of being of the most ordered entrees at the restaurant) to his later experiments with more festival-friendly items like chicken or shrimps. Their most iconic recipe consists of a tortilla with chicken topped with mango-jalapeño slaw and ancho sauce, and served in a paper drink cone; the coating is made with corn flakes, sesame seeds, chili flakes, and a special seasoning blend.
