Migas, the classic breakfast dish of Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine, is honored in many forms in Austin. The traditional take involves some version of scrambled eggs and crispy tortilla strips piled up on a plate. Usually the dish also includes some combination of sauce (most commonly ranchero, the mildly spicy red Tex-Mex standard), chiles, onions, and cheese. But the city known for being weird has created its own versions as well.

Excellent plated migas can be found at longstanding Tex-Mex institutions like Amaya’s Taco Village or Habanero Cafe, or try a less-traditional iteration at newer Mexican restaurant Suerte’s brunch. Given Austin’s love of breakfast tacos, there are also options wrapped up in warm, fluffy tortillas. Veracruz All-Natural’s migas taco is the clear local favorite, but El Primo’s version is a close second. Finally, Holy Roller takes a typical Czech kolache and turns it into the perfect vessel for eggs and jalapenos — then tops it with queso, for good measure.

Below is the Eater Austin list of best migas in the city. For further reading, check out the lists for best Tex-Mex, must-eat tacos, and best breakfast tacos.
