Heard it here first....Tacodeli coming to Tanglewood [area]. (is this really Tanglewood on the west side of Hulen?)
Le Margot, also on the west side of Hulen, is typically described as Tanglewood: https://amp.star-tel...e261747312.html

On our weekly breakfast ride last Saturday, we went to F1 Smokehouse (University & 5th in the old Austin City Tacos location). I would highly recommend it. The food was quite good. I got The Big Bad Wolf, an over-the-top breakfast sandwich with everything you can think of. The other popular breakfast dish was the chilaquiles.
The format of F1 is not like most BBQ joints where you order from the counter, get your own drinks, etc. Rather, it's full service. The manager said the owners knew some people like BBQ but want a more upscale service model. The decor is bright and clean with nostalgic Texas/western/cowboy decor. On the video Lone Ranger reruns were playing. The music was played at just the right volume: You could hear it but didn't have to talk over it, and it was a great mix of old and new C&W music (Johnny Cash, Willie, but also modern artists that had a classic western sound to them). The prices were typical for the breakfast places we go, with options from about $6 to $15, but with an important distinction: Coffee is free with a meal. These days a plain cuppa Joe can be $3 and up, especially if they give refills. So that adds to the value.
Looks like it would be good for lunch and dinner too.
