Where to eat and drink before an Austin FC game

Details: Our favorite taco-beer combo is at Celis Brewery, located southeast of the stadium.

• Head to the food truck Con Todo, serving made-from-scratch Rio Grande Valley-inspired tacos, located just outside the brewery's spacious outdoor seating area.

What we like: The chori-papa tostada — chorizo and diced potatoes enveloped in fried quesillo, sitting on a slather of guacamole atop a crispy homemade corn tortilla — and a bistec estilo Matamoros taco with green salsa.

• We also love the seasonal veggie tacos. Earlier this week, the taco featured cubes of roasted carrots and peanuts that needed no salsa at all.
• Wash it all down with a Pool Guy — a light and crisp Pilsner — or the brewery's trademark Celis White.

Don't feel like a taco? Try Hopsquad Brewing Co., straight east of the stadium, and order a fried empanada from Doughsquad, a food truck on the premises. We recommend El Sabroso, a spicy combo of chorizo, kale and manchego, served with a pesto made with pepitas.

• Drink a Lord Zanate, a West Coast-style IPA, one of the brewery's best hoppy options.

• You can also find an assortment of quesadillas and tacos at Botanita Los 3 Reyes.

Three more breweries near Q2 offer their own takes on tacos and beer:

• Circle Brewing Co., El Norte: Northern Mexican-style tacos.
• Oskar Blues, Daygos: San Diego-style tacos.
• Austin Beerworks, Can-tina: We particularly like the carnitas and barbacoa.
