Ceviche 7: An Upscale Peruvian Food Truck Near Elan East

March 17, 2016 12:01 pm

A hidden gem of Austin, Ceviche 7 serves authentic and delicious Peruvian cuisine that has earned many fans in the short time it’s been open. Ceviche 7 is a food truck permanently parked in a small lot with a couple of picnic tables close to Elan East, so it’s great for takeout or dining al fresco. All the meals from Ceviche 7 are cooked by scratch and made to order by David, the owner and chef. The care and attention he gives to each meal make this place shine. Some favorite meals are the Pan con Chicharrón, the Arroz Chaufa, and, of course, the ceviche, but guests rave that everything on the menu is great.

All the recipes taste like home-cooked meals. Prices are very reasonable, with mains under $10 and sides around $5. As Chef David cooks everything himself, wait times can be on the longer side, but Ceviche 7 is definitely worth the wait.

Springdale Farm Market: Fresh, Local Food Near Elan East

March 10, 2016 12:01 pm

Fresh bunches of emerald kale. Crisp turnips. Cream-colored heads of just-plucked cauliflower. These are just a handful of the fresh veggies you can expect to see at Springdale Farm Market, a farm stand that pops up every Wednesday and Saturday morning about 2.5 miles from Elan East.

Owners Glenn and Paula first opened the farm stand in 1992 in an effort to bring fresh, local produce to people living in the city. They believed everyone deserved access to healthy food, whether they could make it beyond the city limits or not. Today they continue to keep East Austin in colorful veggies, and not just individual shoppers. They also supply local eateries. Plus, Springdale Farm Market plays host to a handful of artisan prepared foods including Confituras jams and jellies, honey from the Austin Honey Company, and White Label Hot Sauce.

Springdale Farm Market
9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays
