AUSTIN-AMERICAN STATESMAN -- El Tri takes on the winningest nation in World Cup history on Monday at 9 a.m. and you know televisions at Mexican restaurants and bars all over Austin will be tuned to the epic knockout-out round tilt. In addition to the restaurants that usually serve breakfast or have 24-hour service, like Las Cazuelas and La Mexicana, several restaurants are rolling out the red (and green and white) carpet for the game.
Lichas Cantina on East Sixth Street will open at 8:30 a.m.; Takoba on East Seventh Street (which, amidst renovations, reopened just for the World Cup) will open at 7:30 a.m.; and Fresa’s on South First Street opens at 8 a.m. Expect food, drink and wild cheering at them all, as Mexico attempts to make the quarterfinals for just the second time in history.
