ABOUT US
Hi y’all! We’re Adam, Kathryn, and Kona, an adventurous married couple (+ pup!) living on the road in our self-converted sprinter van! You can often find us driving all around the US and Canada, scoping out the best coffee shops, eating tacos and ice cream (we're a 5+ taco and 2+ scoop household), and enjoying nature.
We created Adventures of A+K to help busy, budget conscious, and adventurous travelers maximize their vacation time and money wherever they go through detailed travel guides, vlogs, and resources. Our goal: to help you spend less time (and stress!) planning your trip and more time enjoying it!
We will be sharing 1-2 travel vlogs a week, so please SUBSCRIBE to follow along on our adventures! :)

Safety is our #1 priority and we want to stress that this adventure, and all future adventures, will be done responsibly and with the health of others in mind. Here are the steps we are taking everyday, including in these videos:
😷Masks and face coverings. We wear these anytime we are near others outside and especially indoors. If we don’t have a mask on in a video, it’s 99% because there was no one around.
⏰ Exploring early. We normally start at sunrise anyway because of less crowds, but especially so with COVID. We have been starting our days before sunlight so we can limit our interactions.
🧼 Washing and sanitizing our hands, especially after touching anything outside of the van.
🚐 Being in the van 95% of the time when we’re not filming. The adventures we share are a small sliver of our lives. We are staying in the van all day everyday when working and the only time we leave is to do laundry, get gas, or go to the store.
6️⃣ Keeping our distance. We are trying to stay at least 6 ft from others, which truthfully isn’t always possible (and then we make sure we cover our face).
Yahoo, you're home!
It’s nice to be back for a while! 😄
I've heard nothing but great things about Austin. Thanks for sharing the infinite levels of taco-ness LOL. Can't wait for the next video
It’s a great city! Not a bad place for us to call “home” for a while!
Tacos are definitely one of our fave recovery feast foods after a long hard hike. Ya'll just took it to a whole other level! If only I could pack a breakfast taco in my backpack for a sunrise hiking snack...
Now that’s a good idea! 😜
Yawl had me at Tacos!!😃 Yes indeed tacos for any meal..I enjoy breakfast style ones too! We have a new Taco truck in town that serves those tacos yawl had at the end of the video with the broth. So for sure we have to go try them out now! Thanks so much for your sacrifices to make this Taco tour 🌮video!😂😂 Loved it and look forward to seeing more Austin attractions❤️ Go Texas😁!!!
Ooo yes you gotta go! Birria tacos are AMAZING! 😍😋 And we are happy to sacrifice our stomach space to share tacos with y’all! 🤣
We loved the greater Austin area and who doesnt love some great tacos for all meals! - Andrew
Tacos are perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! And sometimes even dessert lol!
California has plenty of 🌮!
We filmed a San Diego taco tour once, but lost all of the footage. We hope to make it back to CA next year to try more tacos!
@@AdventuresofAplusK best bakeries in Southern California is PORTO'S. They have meals and desserts. Fav sandwich is medianoche! We go to the Burbank location, it's family owned.
Sounds delicious! We can’t wait to get back to California!
@@stargazer5073 Porto's is bomb...we always try to hit it up if we're flying out of Burbank!
Tacos are life! I could eat tacos every single day!!!
So could we! 😍😋🌮
Before I visited Austin 2 years ago I didn't know breakfast tacos was a thing besides from Taco Bell. Torchy's breakfast taco was actually one of my favorite meals
We love Torchy’s! Back when I could eat eggs I would get their Ranch Hand taco almost everyday in college 🤣
Can't wait to try them the next time we are Austin bound! Love that you mentioned Torchy's-- how many times I've asked myself "do you want trendy (Torchy's) or traditional tacos today?". Totally a place in appetites for both!
Yes! Absolutely! We love Torchy’s so much, especially the queso, but love the traditional spots too!
All the tacos looked so yummy! I’m glad I got to experience some yumminess with you all yesterday! 😋
They were sooo good! We will have to take you on a taco tour soon!
15:01 Best part of the video!
🤣🤣🤣
Wow, has Austin exploded! 💣 Just massive growth.
Migas: Slobbering. And Bacon!
Vaquero: So wait...a cheese brûlée al pastor taco? 😲🤤😋
Las Trancas: A direct proportional relationship between K’s face getting messy & the taste. Which means amazing.
512: Birria queso taco consommé? 🧀🧀🧀🧀 Melting our Wisconsin hearts!! Rendered speechless, then overflowing of effusive praise. Wow.
We almost didn’t recognize the skyline, it is crazy how fast it’s booming (and also a little sad to see it change)!
Cheese brûlée is the perfect way to describe it! 🤤 Loooove is some cheese on tacos, but every taco was sooo amazing! One of our favorite food days ever 🙌🏼
So excited to see more of Austin through your eyes! Those tacos sound SO good. 🤤
We are excited to share more soon!
So rare to not see a sunny day in austin
It was a nice, fall-ish feeling day! It has been super sunny and 80 degrees since 😅😅
We love Texas! More vlogs about Texas please! ❤❤
We hope to film more while we are here! 😄
@@AdventuresofAplusK can't wait! You 2 are awesome!
Thank you so much for the support and for watching! 🥰
Y’all really picked the 4 best taco spots in town! I really enjoyed this video 👌
Woo! So pumped that you liked the spots we chose...it was SO hard to pick! Any other favorites in Austin?
@@AdventuresofAplusK Paprika ATX on N Lamar and Taqueria 7 Estrellas!
We reallyyy want to try Paprika, so we will definitely go now! And we will have to check out Taqueria 7 Estrellas too!
Little late to the party - squeezed watching the video in on Thursday just before parents evening started and ran out of time to like and comment, so am back now. 🙌 That last taco looked amazing. For me, the sloppier foods are, generally the better they are, so take a taco that's great in its own right, but then having a sauce to dip it in just sounds amazing. We found Texas, New Mexico and Arizona to have some of the best Tex-Mex foods so you're really lucky having all that on your door step! ❤️
Hi Caroline! The sloppier, the better! I dig that motto 😜😜 If you didn't get food all over your face did you reallyyyy enjoy it? 😉 We are definitely happy to be back in one of the best taco states!
Tripas is intestine, Buche is pork stomach . A lot of people think tripas is tripe as in cow stomach but it is not, it’s intestines cleaned out, fried, and chopped. Yum!! 😋
Ah yes, we messed up the buche, their menu says pork stomach. Our bad! Not sure if we are ready for either of those yet haha, but if you say it’s good, we trust ya! 😜
I LOVED the taco tour. Wow, Austin has some great places and that Birria taco looked so good!!!! I need to find one and try it out, but thinking I will not have any luck here in Boise.
They are becoming more popular, so we hope a place pops up in Boise! That would make us love Boise even more than we already do! 😉
Little envious of the tacos
We wish we could send you some!
Enjoyed!!
And now hungry 😋 What an amazing array of tacos you were able to try, l think l would be happy to try any of them!
Love the Christmas themed paddle boarders 🎅⛄🌲
Can't wait to go and travel again 😊🍁
We love how many different styles of tacos you can find here! There were two unique ones we hoped to share, but they are closed for now. So maybe in the future!
They were so festive! Too bad this wasn’t during the holiday vlog we are filming soon! Would’ve been perfect 🙌🏼🎅🏼🎄
It looks pretty pretty good
It was sooo 💣💣!
Great video like always !! Glad to see you guys are back home safe. Those Birria tacos made my mouth watery!
We are in Austin and have never had those before !! After watching this my Wife and I
made plans to go there tonight 🙌🏻 thank you !!!
Oooo yesss! 🙌🏼🎉 They do sell out, so make sure to check their Instagram before you go! They are SO good!
I was waiting for your video 😍
Woo! Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed 😄
Mmm we love us some tacos too! This was the best food tour video. You've convinced me I need to try taco number four for sure. We've never been to Austin but definitely need to go sometime!
Mission accomplished! Taco #4 was AMAZING! It's a delicious city!
Me encanta austin
You both have tacos on the brain. 🤣 Looks delicious. I did not know that the Colorado River runs through Austin. Great to learn something new everyday.😊
Hahaha we gotta fill up on tacos to make up for months without many! 😉 Glad to teach you something new! It’s apparently a “river-like reservoir on the Colorado River”
Ohhhhh you’ve done it!!
🌮 craving!!!
Mission accomplished! 🙌🏼 Although we do wish we could’ve shared with y’all! But virtual tacos is as good as we could get! 🌮
nice trip !
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
TTTT....Tapping The Taco Tour
😄🌮🙌🏼
OMG those Birria tacos looked so amazing that I had to check Yelp to see if I could find them in my county. A few years ago the Latino population became the majority so we have lots of Mexican food choices so I had high hopes of finding some. I did. I found a place with 5⭐reviews for their Quesabirria Taco with Consomé 😁When I get back from our camping trip, I'm going to give them a try. Yumo! Thanks again for sharing.
Those birria tacos were outrageous! I really want to go back there when we get home. So good
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Hello Adventurers😊😊! First of all, y'all are making me very HUNGRY with those delicious tacos and quesadillas! Happy Holidays!
Hahahaha we are sorry for any hunger! Happy holidays to you! ❤️
You all should get a bumper sticker that says "I Break for Breakfast Burritos!" Makes me hungry for tacos and burritos 🤤
Hahahaha we totally should! 😂
Thank you for this video! Every time I go to Austin, I feel overwhelmed by all the awesome taco places to choose from! Definitely trying these next time! All that’s missing is a dessert taco haha 😜
It is SO overwhelming! We struggled to figure out which ones to share because there are so many great spots. And we need to find a dessert taco! Apparently there is a spot called Taco Sweets with ice cream tacos 😍
Wow I love breakfast burritos but have never had a breakfast taco! Guess I have to go to Austin!
They are so good! We love breakfast burritos too, but love the taco version even more!
Yummy! gonna be in the Austin area in February definitely will try Adams #2 spot!
Nice! We hope you enjoy it! Their hours are a bit limited and they do sell out, so we suggest getting there when they open.
@@AdventuresofAplusK okay!
Saving all of these on my Google Maps even though I live in the UK and I'm vegetarian so probably won't be able to eat at any of these places haha.
Hope Covid gives us all a break soon and you can show us a bit more of Texas while you're home!
Hahahaha love it! Some of them do have vegetarian options! Austin is super vegetarian and vegan friendly! 🙌🏼 And we sure hope so too...we’d love to share more of the state!
look delicious!
Sooo good!
OMGOSSHHHH this looks amaazzzzingg!! YAAAAYYYY!! Those tacos made me want them so badly that I've just ordered some! x
Niiiice! Mission accomplished! What did you order?
MORE BIRRIA PLEASE
THE BEST!!! Almost just as good as leftovers! 😋
Those tacos looked amazing!...Texas-sized, for sure!
Everything is bigger in Texas, right?! 😜
Mmmmmm....taco tour! Love it
The best kind of tour! 🙌🏼🌮😋
Yes 🙌 Couldn’t agree more!
Oh my you both definitely made my mouth water w/all them tacos🤤I hope to visit Austin when it’s safe to travel to try out these yummy spots! Also, hopefully you’ll be able to travel to Southern California again b/c there are definitely plenty of tacos to choose from. I grew up in East Los Angeles so I have definitely had my share of delicious tacos😋Also Adam & Katherine I agree w/the Porto’s recommendation out here. It’s a Cuban family owned bakery & it’s the best!!😋Their original spot is in Burbank but they have other locations in the surrounding area of L.A. Any hoot!! Thanks for sharing these places w/us & I’m glad you both are now home☺️
We LOVE Cuban food and bakeries! We really want to visit Southern California again! LA may be a bit tricky in the van, but we may just have to fly out there one day just to stuff our faces for a few days 😂
I hope you all visit Northern California also...so much diversity in terrain and then there is the wine country, Redwoods, rocky cliffs on the beach and San Francisco....oh my...Sweet dreams are made of this! 👣⛽✈🚂
Aw man was just there this weekend climbing at the greenbelt! Wish I had seen this video then.
Aw man! But hopefully it can help you for next time 😄
Ooo guys I live in Austin for 3 years but I have never eaten these tacos before, thank you!! I will definitely try something this weekend!
Yay! We hope you enjoy them! 🙌🏼🌮
Great video guys. I have been to Houston, Dallas and San Antonio but not Austin and now Austin is on the list. Those Tacos looked so delicious!
Thanks Christopher! Happy to hear you want to visit Austin someday...it’s a great city with delicious food! 🙌🏼 San Antonio has amazing tacos too, we really want to get back there!
Hmmm, 🧐 gives us an idea for a future visit, a Taco Adventure!!! They look delicious!
Eating tacos (and BBQ) is a must when in Austin! 🌮🙌🏼
@@AdventuresofAplusK for sure BBQ!!! 😜
As a native Austinite, I'm proud you said Town Lake and not Lady Bird Lake.
It’ll always be Town Lake to us!
Insane taco fest with so many beans. I think roto rooter should have sponsored this video 😆 cheers n keep safe guys.
Ha! Thankfully only one had beans, so we were good to go! 😜🤣
Austin looks like a vibrant city with lots of good food! Where is the statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn?
It’s super close to where we filmed that intro! We will have to get a shot of it next time!
Come to San Antonio and do a video here. Places to eat, even hike. The riverwalk Christmas light, university of incarnate word Christmas lights. I would love for yall to do a garner state park video.
We would love to come to San Antonio! We have been wanting to film a video there for a long time. Garner is on the list of possible places to go while we are back. We have never been, but hear it’s incredible!
@@AdventuresofAplusK if you need any tips for places to check out here let me know. The Pearl Area is a must. Not so touristy like the riverwalk the Pearl has the hotel Emma which is amazing. Garner in the fall is so beautiful, it books and sells out fast for spring and summer so book in advance. Garner is so much fun.
We love the Pearl! Such a cool area! We will have to see how things are going with COVID and maybe we can visit. Trying to stick to the outdoors as much as possible right now! But Garner sounds fun!
We love Al Pastor tacos! We would say if you come to Tucson we’d take you to Seis... but since you’ve already been there... Taco Bell??
LOL! We will gladly go back to Seis! Loved that spot! We do like the occasional crunchwrap supreme though 😜
@@AdventuresofAplusK kidding! Recommendation for a new place would be BOCA 🌮. More street style tacos but they’re amazing!!
I don't like eggs either so I get the same bean, potato, bacon and cheese taco. I am native Austinite but have not been to Veracruz. Will try it. Thanks
It’s a great spot, we hope you enjoy it!
Those birria tacos 🤤🤤
THE BEST! 😍😍
We LOVE Austin! We may be headed there in the next couple of days!
Such a great city! Are y’all from TX?
@@AdventuresofAplusK yes we are from TX!
Sweeet! 🙌🏼 What part of the state are y’all from?
@@AdventuresofAplusK we are in the Southeast Texas area! Houston is the closest big city to us!
Awesome! Adam is originally from Alvin, outside of Houston!
Great Video
Food looks great
Hope all is well
Thank you William! It was a very delicious day!
Nice video mexican food
Thank you!
It's great that you like mexican food. If someday you visit to San Diego Ca please jump in to Tijuana Mex we do have the BEST tacos all around the world (TRUE).
We would love to! We went on a taco tour in Mexico City once and would love to do the same in Tijuana!
I miss the food in Austin!
It’s what we miss the most (besides friends and family of course!) when we are away! Such a great food city!
nice shots! what camera do you use?
Thank you! 😄 We use a A6500 for most of the shots. We have a list of all of our gear here: adventuresofaplusk.com/resources
My favorite breakfast tacos in Austin are at Texas Honey Ham Company off of Bee Caves road. You gotta get the Tacos Ranchero which has the ingredients cooked in a delicious ranchero sauce. Just the right amount of spicy and very delicious.
Oooo that sounds SO good! We have heard they have amazing breakfast tacos, but haven’t tried them yet. It’s not too far from where we “live,” so we will have to go check it out! 🙌🏼
are you guys going to hit up dallas, san antonio and houston ? !
We aren’t sure to be honest. We are trying to stay close to home and away from as many people as possible since the COVID cases are going up a lot here. And since we are living with family, we have to be extra cautious too.
So we may be doing more outdoorsy things vs. cities if we do go outside of Austin. We really want to visit San Antonio...we love the food and culture there!
What's the chance's of you posting me some tacos?? Lol 😁😁😁
Glenn!!! We were just talking about you! We SO wish we could send you tacos, but based on how long the postcard took to get to you, they may not be good by the time they reach you 😂😂😂
@@AdventuresofAplusK lol yeah ya probably right. And I wondered why my ears were burning 😁
Ahh All this time we have been following you we did not know you were from Austin! Thats great, we are from Austin and will have to add these to our list. We started a Thing To Do in Austin playlist, Food Trucks are next ! ua-cam.com/video/UhMkD2b_9H4/v-deo.html
I feel like no one knows where we are from since we travel full time lol! Originally from Austin, but we had spent the last 3 years before the van in Seattle, which still has our heart and we consider "home" too!
Followed you advice and had the breakfast tacos from Veracruz. I am ruined now..!
Yesss! Did you get the migas? And doesn't that Austin summit feel like 3 years ago?!
Loved the video. I’m born and raised here in Austin. I’ve only been to Las Trancas, but not a fan. I only look for Al pastor and Bistec tacos. I am actually going to Vaquero Taquero tomorrow and checking out the Al Pastor tacos there. BUT you did not hit up the best Al Pastor tacos. Rositas Al Pastor on Riverside!!!!!! I eat pastor tacos EVERYWHERE. Gordos Tacos in Vegas are good but not as good as Rositas. 7:51 you mention Chiquis Tacos. Where are they at?
Thank you for the tip! We will have to check it out if you claim it’s better than Tacos El Gordo! Not sure where the other spot is and our service is a bit spotty, but I can look into it once back in better cell service.
@@AdventuresofAplusK so I hit up Vaquero today, ummmmmm nope. You are going to LOVE Rositas. Can wait until you taste those bad boys. I’ll be waiting for a video or at least a post of your review for Rositas. Take care!
Sorry you didn’t enjoy it. We really liked it!
Welcome back y'all. If y'all ever want to get together for a meal and hang out, let us know. We are nearby.
Thanks y’all! And since we are staying with 4 family members, we are sticking to just being with our household members right now to keep everyone healthy, but whenever the world becomes safer we’d love to be more social 😄
@@AdventuresofAplusK we totally understand. Cheers to a brighter future.
Lady Bird Lake?
We call it Town Lake still since that’s what we grew up calling it 😊, but it’s also known as Lady Bird Lake.
Hi the Chanel my Friend nathan smith (lasuperlonchera)
OMG those tacos looked super good, but you guys are going to gain weight eating to many of them lol :)
We are very active, so I think we can handle 4 tacos once in a while 😉
@@AdventuresofAplusK Awesome, Greetings from Houston! Big thumbs up to your videos 👍🏻
Adam is a proud Houstonian! 🙌🏼 Thank you so much for watching! 😃
Do the tacos really include hormigas or did I miss hear? Many years ago on holiday in Tenerife I found hormigas in my bathroom = ants.
They are migas tacos, and the full name is huevos revueltos con migas! No ants in them thankfully 😅🐜
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thanks. I misheard what you said
We sometimes suck at enunciating haha!
