I'm sure you can get better tex-mex food within 3 miles than I could find driving for 3 days. My concern in that region would be drought and aquifer health, and yet my lawn is also dead here in New England.
Great Tex-Mex is something we take for granted here. It's everywhere.
The water situation is important, but that's part of one's research responsibilities. That's why I struck Llano from my list, for example. Their municipal water supply is the Llano River, which did dry up during the 2011 drought.
However, San Saba has the San Saba-Ellenburger aquifer underfoot which will never be stressed at current draw rates from the 6000 people who live in San Saba County. And the Hickory Water Conservation District which covers 55% of the county prevents that water from being removed from the district. San Saba is like the Garden of Eden in Texas due to the abundant and secure water resources. Drought literally doesn't affect us.
These are all things which are discoverable using publicly available data.
