Welcome To The Texicalli Grille In South Austin, Texas

As you walk into the Texicalli Grille you know immediately that your in for a treat.  The walls are literally covered with posters of past performances of rock and country music.   There's numerous autographed photographs and the shelves are filled with antiques.  There's so much covering the interior, that the walls and ceilings have been covered from top to bottom, and in the middle of all of this, there's Danny Young.

The Texicalli Grille is also known as a hang out for some of Austin's best known musicians.   Danny Young and the Texicalli Grille has definitely earned a place in Austin music history.

Here's Danny with his washboard and egg beaters. It's all part of the show, and Danny can really put on a show.

The Cornel Hurd Band playing at the South By Southwest Multimedia Conference

Here's Danny (second from left) playing with The Cornel Hurd Band at the South By Southwest Multimedia Conference that is held in Austin, Texas.  Their style of music is a Texas swing, sort of a Bob Wills style of music. 

The South By Southwest Multimedia Conference is held every March in Austin.  The conference books more than 500 bands during its week long duration.  This is where you can also run into numerous entertainers and stars in the music and film industry

Danny's Place

Welcome to the Texicalli Grille in Austin, Texas.  It's a pleasure to present Danny Young's place of business.  The following pictures will give you a short tour of this fine eatery.  I hope you enjoy the visit.

It appears that just above the neon sign that says "Danny's" is a photograph of Roky Ericson.  Roky is well known as one of the members of the sixties rock group The
13th Floor Elevators.  Roky is a friend of Danny's, and I'm sure that Roky would want you to visit the Ericson Home Page




One item that Danny presented me was the "Live The Legend" poster.  You'll notice the poster is more than filled with a whole lot of signatures.  In order to qualify to sign the poster, you must have at one time lived in Kingsville, Texas.  It's hard to tell how many people have signed the poster, but it must be near, or over 1,000 signatures.  Looks like Danny is going to have to buy another Kingsville poster to accomidate the future signatures to me.  What do you think?

Anyway, if you have ever lived in Kingsville, then drop by the Texicalli Grille so you can "Live The Legend".

Just being Comfortable At The Texicalli Grille

It was cold and raining the day Diana and I visited Danny.  However, the mood inside was warm and cozy, and the conversation with Danny kept us entertained for hours.

Hey, there's Danny (third from the left) in the photograph.  Danny always makes his customers feel right at home.  What a perfect way to spend a cold and rainy day.


Here's the counter where you place your order.  There's so many antiques and posters lining the walls and ceiling that it's like walking through a living museum.

Close Up Of The Numerous Antiques

Here's a close up of some of the antiques that can be found at the Texicalli Grille.  Notice the old Texas A&I University cap.

If you would like to visit Texas A&M University Kingsville (formally Texas A&I University), then visit Kingsville page, located under the South Texas Area.


Here's sort of a self portrait.  Notice some of the autographed photos and posters, like the "Fabulous Thunderbirds".  Hey, there's Willie Nelson.  The photos and posters are everywhere.

Just Relaxing And Enjoying The Texicalli Grille

Ah yes, just another rainy day at the Texicalli Grille in Austin, Texas.  Lets sit back and talk awhile.

I hope you enjoyed the short visit to Danny's place.  Thanks Danny, for allowing me to show the world the Texicalli Grille.

Once again, Thanks Danny,

Ralph
