Nachos are a staple at Q2 Stadium that are offered at multiple locations. (Laura Figi/Austonia)
Austin’s favorite professional sports team is back for its second season, so grab your Verde gear and get ready to eat all the local grub your heart desires.
You don't have to be a soccer fan to enjoy yourself at Q2 Stadium with plenty of food options. Austin FC worked to represent Austin by partnering with 512 Food Co. and loading the stadium up with as many local eats as possible.
Quick tips:
- Kiosks are cashless so bring some other method of payment.
- You can skip the line and order ahead of time through the Austin FC app.
- Attendees can bring a sealed 20-ounce water bottle along to refill for free. A bottle of Dasani water runs $5.49 a pop!
- Lines are longest before kickoff and at halftime, keep that in mind when you decide to grab a bite.
ATX MRKT | Section 127
Directly to the left when you walk in through the northeast entrance, ATX MRKT is a quick market to grab select beers, ice cream or light snacks.
The Austin Table | Section 136
This rotating stand features a new guest chef or restaurant for every game, keeping you on your toes.
Bao’d Up | Corner of section 101 and 137
Compact, mobile and filling, a bao is the perfect food item for spectators in the bouncy supporter’s section. Attendees have the choice of four styles: Teriyaki chicken, spicy brisket, juicy pork and creamy veggie. Plus, at just $5.49 for two buns, Bao’d Up is one of the cheapest options in the stadium.
Casa Chapala | Section 121
Known for its strong, tequila-based drinks, Casa Chapala is where you can grab a beef or chicken torta or some Chapala nachos.
DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks | Sections 105 and 124
For a quick and easy choice, head to Double Dave’s. The pizza joint only has three options on the menu, cheese, pepperoni and pizza rolls. And as the biggest vendor space in the stadium, long lines go quickly. The local chain is so nice it's in the stadium twice!
Easy Tiger | Sections 108, 121 and 131
With three locations around the stadium, Easy Tiger is an obvious and simple game day choice. Currently, you can only get one item: The gigantic pretzel, which comes with beer cheese and whole grain mustard.
El Mercado and Munchies | Section 102 and 103
This grab-and-go market carries a bunch of local options that you can get quick:
- Black bean and goat cheese, or poblano and cheese empanadas from Mmmpanadas
- Beef, chicken or veggie tamales from Tamale Addiction
- Slovacek’s sausages
- Candy and snack foods
Grill Love and Oak Hill Grill | Section 101 and 129
In need of a classic cheese burger or some chicken tenders? Grill Love or Oak Hill Grill, located at section 129, has fair food options that extend to jumbo hot dogs and crispy french fries.
One Taco | Section 132
For lovers of a quality corn tortilla, One Taco is for you. The “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” alum carries a tightened menu with a choice of tacos al pastor, carne asada, nachos extremos, the rotating taco del dia and frozen margaritas.
Pluckers Wing Bar | Section 135

An Austin-based favorite for 26 years, Plucker’s has all your wing needs covered at Q2. The meager menu only offers wings, boneless and otherwise, and waffle fries, but all the classic sauces like Goldrush barbecue and hot buffalo are on deck.
Queso Fountain | Section 127
Nachos are a must when it comes to sports food, which is probably why there are six places throughout the stadium where you can get some form of queso. Whether you want loaded nachos, queso from a fountain, spicy nachos or margaritas, you’ll be able to find it at one of these kiosks. Plan on ordering these earlier than later, lest you end up with stale or broken chips (we experienced this first hand).
Slovacek’s | Sections 118 and 123, and inside Munchie’s
Famously known for its kolaches, Slovacek’s is conveniently located all across the stadium and has two different sausages available for the Q2 crowd: A chili cheese sausage, and a green chili and gouda sausage.
Tacodeli | Section 122
One of Austin’s favorite taco joints, Tacodeli is best ordered during the game to avoid long lines. The menu will be a bit more sparse than a typical location, but you can still get TacoDeli’s signature chips and queso or Salsa Doña, Frontera Fundido chicken or sirloin taco, or a simple bean and cheese taco.
T-Loc’s Sonoran Hot Dogs | Section 119
For the thoroughly Instagrammable Verde hot dog, you’ll want to head to T-Loc’s Sonoran Hot Dogs before it sells out. The bacon-wrapped dogs, which originated in Sonora, Mexico, are nestled in an authentic bolillo bun with a variety of toppings. You’ll want to grab one with a green bun for likability.
Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ | Section 137

Long line alert! Just seconds after halftime began, Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ truck had people lining up all the way to Plucker’s. The tacos are worth it but stock up on brisket tacos, pulled pork sandwiches, baby back ribs (if you’re early enough!) and beer once you get to the front of the line—this is a one-stop-shop. Don't forget to ask for the habanero BBQ sauce—it's perfection!
