After years of saying it was just temporary, I finally settled in Austin a little over eight years ago, and boy, have I found a lot to love here. The food scene, in particular, has been a constant source of joy, with new restaurants popping up every month. The latest addition is Somos Tacos Arabi, a spot that’s quickly making waves in the food community.

First Look: Somos Tacos Arabi – A New Taste in Austin

Located in the trendy East Austin neighborhood, Somos Tacos Arabi is owned by a team dedicated to bringing authentic Arab cuisine to the city. The menu features a variety of traditional and modern takes on classic dishes, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. According to the owners, the restaurant aims to provide a taste of the Middle East with a local twist, making it a unique addition to Austin's diverse food landscape.

While I’ve had my fair share of tacos, this one’s got me excited. The concept of combining Middle Eastern flavors with the Tex-Mex staple is something I hadn’t seen before, and I’m curious to see how it turns out. If you’re a foodie in Austin or just looking for a new dining experience, this might be the place to check out.
