What people say, in short
Cisco's is a recurring Tex-Mex breakfast recommendation, particularly for migas. One diner calls it a favorite among Austin's no-frills Mexican restaurants. Individual customers suggest migas with biscuits, migas con chorizo or toasted biscuits; a regular also praises the sausage, egg and cheese tacos. The east-side location is named in the sources. A dissenting customer reports two visits and finds the food mediocre at best.
