Community – Austin, TX
Celebrating the Spirit of Austin
Austin thrives because of the small businesses, creators, and community leaders who give our city their passion. At Highland West Dental Care, we’re always searching for the next hidden gem—the kinds of places that make daily life just a little nicer. The businesses below are local (and personal) favorites because they represent the hard work, heart, and dedication that keep our community strong. We’re grateful for everything they contribute, and we’re proud to recommend them to anyone looking for something special close to home.
Buffalina Due
Buffalina Due never disappoints! It’s a true Italian experience on Burnet Road, right across the street from Taurus Academy. Whether you want a nice wine to go with your pizza, some house-made pasta, or a delicious dessert, they make sure you’re taken care of like family. Their cozy atmosphere and great service make them a neighborhood favorite we’re proud to recommend.
Chez Zee American Bistro
From humble beginnings as a passion project, Chez Zee has quickly become one of our favorite places in our little corner of Austin to chow down. Sharon Watkins, the owner, is a local treasure who is constantly engaged in the community as part of several local groups, like Women Vote and the Austin Chamber of Commerce. We love Cez Zee for its tasty food, local art spotlights, and vibrant atmosphere. If you’re looking for a new place for brunch and beyond, they’ve got a little of everything!
Fajita Pete's
In Texas, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to Mexican cuisine, but if you’re in the MoPac area, then you can’t beat Fajita Pete’s. While the brand has certainly grown over the years, the stores started right here in Houston, and the MoPac location still feels like a neighborhood hangout. Whether you’re looking for a family meal or catering for a special event, they’re always friendly and happy to serve.
CraigO's Pizza
For over ten years, CraigO’s Pizza on Balcones has crafted homemade Italian cuisine, and being right across from Randall’s, it’s one of our favorite neighborhood stops. We appreciate that they never compromise on their ingredients and put in the effort to make everything from scratch every day. It truly makes a difference in the quality of their food and experience. And if you’re a low-carb diner, don’t worry, they have you covered with their power bowls.
