Russell Hirschorn

Lots of outdoor seating , equinox and micheladas to drink, bfast tacos , chilaquiles , al pastor torta to eat, not expensive , inside could have a better ambiance, good salsa

William McAfee

The chips are authentically good & the salsa is perfect. I came here to try the Mango-Habanero Margarita as per Eater suggesting it, it is perfection of sweet and spicy . This place is awesome.

Maggie C Perkins

Always been a huge fan-- still a great happy hour and tasty food, but the service has suffered the last few times I've been here, and if you're a woman alone on the patio , just forget it.

Julian Forero

If you can't eat spicy this may not be the right place for you. If you can handle the heat then get ceviche (agua chile as they call it in baja) to get started, order the mango habanero margarita

The most authentic Mexican food I've had in Austin. I love the tacos de bistec and the mexican cokes ! Not too expensive for the quality of the food. Also make sure to check out the sand pit outside.

Austin Chronicle

Superior micheladas , legit Interior Mexican cuisine , a beautiful patio , some of the best carnitas in the city , and killer mezcal and sotol cocktails . Viva Mexico! Read more

Carlos GoBar

Really good mexican food . Not tex-mex at all. Mango Habanero Margaritas are a must. I always order the ceviche . The Chile en Nogada is the best I've had in Austin!

Thomas Knüwer

Solid Mexican food , outstanding cocktails . The patio is directly by the street, so a bit noisy .

Curt R.

Has awesome and reasonably priced food. Love the Al Pastor tacos and the white sangria has a cinnamon stick and is terrific. Sit on the outdoor patio and enjoy.

Brian Fleenor

Jokabeth is an excellent bartender . Real hussel...rare trait in an Austin bartender !

Ken Cagle

Sad because the food was great and so were the drinks. The employees, however, simply tragic. But I will be back when I feel like it and will check all employees on their behavior next time. ????

Olivia González

Ceviche was great!! I'm not all that crazy about ceviche but this one was amazing!!!! It comes with chips and salsa :)

Erin G

Solid brunch . Their queso is really just a massive lump of melted cheese served with tortillas and it's delicious.

Craig Collins-Young

The family recipe pork tacos are worth your time . The guacamole is great. And, the refried beans are creamy goodness.

Thrillist

This dimly lit, flat-screened cantina sporting a sand-and-beach chair patio plates platos de tacos like the Al Pastor (pineapple-marinated pork , cilantro , and onions ) and rock a serious drink list. Read more

David Lowe (Uberpong)

One of my fave places in E Austin (& maybe the whole of Austin). Cool Italian vibe with Mexican food & good music .

The Tastes that Make the City

The Dos XX michelada is the best beer cocktail in Austin, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City : Austin. Read more

Ken Cagle

The atmosphere was great. The service, however, was far less than sub par. Upon sitting at bar while putting our name down for a table outside with the no personality waiter/host (guy w/ponytail)

Jarred Gammon

The chips are so good! Mimosa carafes are cheap ! I always get one of the tortas , the pastor is the best.

Irene Cantu

If you get mango habanero margarita you have to request chinaco reposado with it. Jokabet is the bartender you want! Everything here is authentic and absolutely delicious.

Julia Roberson

Their mezcalrita is awesome. Good chips and salsa and yummy fish tacos .

Hana Katherine

The tacos verduras on flour with refritos and mexican rice is the way to go! And a mango habanero margarita will hit the spot!

Rachel Youens

Probably one of the best micheladas in the city . It's as big as your head and made with tons of lime juice . Fantastic.

Serious Eats

Thirsty? The rich and fruity Mango Habanero Margarita suits Takoba's sunny patio well .

Brian Fleenor

This salmon & poached egg sandwich is great!

Jordan Penick

Ceviche was great. Ordered talapia with lime garlic butter sauce and I'm still dreaming about it. :)

Taylor Franklin

Great tacos ! They keep their outside seating warm and covered. Waitress kinda rushed us out though.

Jason Morton

amazing slow roasted pork shoulder in any form of taco and or tortilla !

Eater

Mexican home cooking with a great patio ; try the mango habanero margarita . [Eater 38 Member]

Brian Fleenor

$7 mimosa carafes .

Hugo Rojo

Amazing heating in the outside tent. Definitely coming here again, even during cold temps.

Brian Nunnery

Food-wise, best tex-mostly-mex place in ATX. Sit outside and order the queso fundido ... don't expect much from the cocktails .

Serious Eats

Head to this spot east of downtown for something more casual than La Condesa but more formal than a simple taqueria .

512 crew

Ah, take your shoes off in the beach chairs in the sand outside... Have a drink and try to imagine for a small moment you're actually at the beach . So relaxing..love this place!

Ken Cagle

Because the bartender (some Mexican guy with tatts) was just a shitty person the rest of the time (again stay home if u catch feelings at work) control ur emotions dude

Jennifer M

Awesome brunch location. $7 carafes of mimosas on Saturday and Sunday. Queso fundido and guacamole are delicious!

Do512

Get here super early for Sunday brunch . 2 hour long lines are common. Excited that Takoba's getting in on the SXSW action! Check do512.com to see what's going on here.

Elizabeth (Betsy) Zumwalt

Definitely will be coming back. Good, spicy mole , descent margaritas and selection on draft isn't too bad either. At 9 blocks from home my only complaint was dry chicken .

Cheng

FYI, it's no longer a sit down brunch . You order at the bar and get a number.

Andre P

Hidden gem : house made "Agua Fresca " with the natural fruit flavor of the day. AWESOME! Mango was the one we've got

Rossy Benavidez

Loved the ceviche and the carnitas torta . ????????

Kristen Keys

The queso fundido is awesome and enough for 4 people! The michelada was the best I've ever had.

Chepo Boy Loya

Micheladas are the bomb, have Issa make it!

Avan Allen

love the lounge and the bartenders . the salty perritos (i recommend them with tequila instead of vodka ) are tasty and the veggie tacos are delicious.

Neal R

Guacamole , empanadas and fundito were wonderful

Nancy K

Nice patio great nopales and tacos al pastor . Enjoyed the mojitos !

Kyle Ledbetter

Jose's Michelada is the best in town

Betty Saenz REALTOR

A bit loud inside and out like a COOL Austin hangout but I am hoping the food will be good.

Ken Cagle

The less than sub par bartender didn't greet us bc he was glued to the basketball game on tv (ok? Stay at home then? U at work.) we finally asked for a drink menu and I guess he felt offended by that

Kate Ronkainen

Best Sangria Blanca I have ever had. Be ready for a Sangria paradigm shift-cinnamon-delicious!
