Enjoy a nice day on the water by taking a windsurfing class and eating brunch afterwards.

Here's your plan for windsurfing at Lake Pflugerville, followed by brunch at Los Chilakillers

Windsurfing and Brunch

At Lake Pflugerville Park, enjoy a windsurfing class, perfect for building skills and a great workout.

Windsurfing Class

✅ Before you go
• Check out the website here: https://austinwindsurfschool.org
• Select a class that fits your schedule.

💪 Pro tips
• If you have a helmet, you can bring it to be safe in the event you fall. However, it is not required.
• If you have water shoes, I would recommend bringing them as the ground has a lot of rocks.
• You will be required to sign a waiver prior to taking the class.
• Life jackets will be provided at the location.

Book a Class and Head to Lake Pflugerville Park

At Los Chilakillers in Austin, enjoy a brunch featuring delicious Mexican cuisine like Chile Con Queso and Chilaquiles Divorciados.

Mexican Brunch

✅ Before you go
• Check out their menu here: https://www.loschilakillers.com.
• There is usually a line and people have to wait to dine in. However, if you call ahead, you can reserve your name for a table to reduce your wait time.

💪 Pro tips
• I recommend the Chile Con Queso for the appetizer.
• For the entree, I suggest you order the Chilaquiles Divorciados. This will allow you to try two flavors of Chilaquiles.
• The spice level of the foods can get hot, so choose wisely.
• The Horchata Aqua Fresca is delicious to drink along with your meal and you can get one free drink refill. 

Grab Brunch at Los Chilakillers

If you enjoy being out in the water on a nice day and you’re a fan of outdoor activities, then I have the perfect plan for you.

First, sign up for a class at Austin Windsorf School and head over to Lake Plugerville Park.

It's a beautiful and spacious park with a 3 mile loop if you enjoy a nice walk.

The instructors will provide you with guidance on how to set up your sail.

Prior to getting in the water, you will learn how to sail and turn.

This is extremely helpful before you actually get in the water.

And then when you start, you may fall a few times.

But the instructors are very patient, they’re knowledgeable and helpful.

And once you get the hang of things, it is a lot of fun.

You will be able to sail on your own in no time.

Then, windsurfing is a workout and you’ll definitely build up your appetite.

So after you finish, I recommend going to Los Chilakillers.

Personally, I would recommend starting off with a chile conqueso as an appetizer.

For entrees, they had the best chiliquiles I ever had.

So, see the notes for more details and make it happen soon.

The concept was created by the masterminds of Visant Club,

and all the drinks were so unique and cool.

The anti-gravity was my personal favorite.

and also I will say the drinks were strong.

This bar is behind the idea of Paula and mixologist Gustavo from Mexico.

So of course we had to follow Mexican tradition by playing this drinking game.

And each round we were shocked with the higher and higher voltage.

The vibes and hospitality were amazing at the Traveler's lounge.
