We asked Chris and Rich Robinson what tacos they've had in Austin.

The Black Crowes are in Austin for the Country Music Television Awards at the Moody Center on Sunday, and they recorded an episode of "CMT Crossroads" earlier with Darius Rucker on Friday night on a special Congress Avenue stage. Rucker also played at last weekend's NASCAR weekend at Circuit of the Americas. The rock band will be collaborating with country artist Rucker to perform The Black Crowes' hit "She Talks to Angels" during the CMT Music Awards ceremony.

"I know it's probably not the coolest one, but I like Torchy's," Chris Robinson said.

"And Veracruz (All Natural) has the best breakfast taco, but then I have enchiladas at Polvos on First Street. But I go there for nostalgic reasons."

When we asked Rich Robinson, he jokingly responded, "no, not one thing since I've been here."

Veracruz All Natural is adding a full-service restaurant and bar location to its small Mexican food empire this week. Veracruz Fonda & Bar will open April 8 at 1905 Aldrich St., serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
