The food in Govalle is just as diverse as its people's interests and activities. Vegans will have no shortage of options here. Big chain fast food restaurants are abundant as with most busy areas, but the foods that really seem to define the neighborhood are Latino and American. From Tex Mex and authentic Mexican to Salvadorian and great hamburgers, there is sure to be a restaurant to make your taste buds happy. Fine dining is available in Govalle as well.

At night this busy neighborhood, full of shoppers and people riding busses during the day, turns into another equally diverse setting. Theaters can be found all around Govalle as well as a wide range of dining. The bar scene is extremely strong from trendy clubs to sports bars to local pubs. College students from Austin Community College and the University of Texas are out in full force as the vast majority of places cater to a younger crowd - although there are plenty of low-key bars for a quieter night.
