In my husband's opinion, Perla's is one of the best places to get seafood in Austin. Its location is right on South Congress Ave (or "SoCo"), so it's great for people watching on a beautiful Texas night. After dinner, there are a ton of walkable places all around you, like maybe some Amy's IceCream!

You've heard the hype... and it's all true. Tip: Get there at least 2 hours before they open at 11am. You can bring a cooler with some drinks while you wait. It's a long line, but trust us, it's worth it.
