I'm so f***ing sick and tired of places like this around campus that touts itself as a dive in order to rip off poor students (or the idiotic ones who don't know any better and keep going back). Entertain this: you can get a large fish sandwich at, oh I don't know, Jack-in-the-Box for $1.29, or you can get some shredded taco lettuce with tomatoes (that's all) between two small, soggy buns for almost $4. Hmmm. Really, must be the stellar (non-existent) service or the amazing atmosphere (next to a giant, sh*tty, dusty bookcase) that clinches it as an 'Austin institution'. Or maybe it's the TVs. Or the fact they charge for water. I must go back until I figure out *exactly* what the magic of this little quaint find is.
Pros: It would probably survive an earthquake.
Cons: Yes.
