Amazing service, delicious food! Our server Briana was outstanding; very attentive and pleasant! The manger Sara came to our table, welcomed us, and even gave us desert on the house for our 1st visit!

Had guacamole as an appetizer . And the chicken enchiladas as my dinner . Those enchiladas had plenty of chicken ! Food was delicious, as were the flour tortillas . Service was great. I'll be back.

Mary Hdz

Great tasting fajitas . Shrimp was cooked & flavored perfectly. Homemade fresh & soft flour tortillas . Natalie is a wonderful server

Drew Hill

Even though nothing on the menu is already vegan , they are super nice about modifying things to fit your needs. All in all it is a great place with a really thoughtful and friendly staff .

Greg Gordon

It's the best Tex-Mex in Austin. They have large portions so you don't need your own full meal.

John Buckhannan

We had the filet mignon steak Fajitas with a side of shrimp brochetta. OMG. It was AMAZING. Did not disappoint. Service was great. Food was awesome.

David Pitts

Basically a party every night at a Pappa's restaurant . So so so much food, check out the pulled pork tacos but get a box right away, you don't want to be eating all of that. Trust me

Tony Lee

Incredible service! Best I've had in Austin area in literally years. Ask for Casey as your server. You won't be disappointed. Also make sure to get the tomatillo salsa .

Aaron Ortega

Sit at the bar . Less crowded and great service. Frozen margaritas are perfect.

Douglas Allen

Try ordering an off the menu margarita made with Herradura Anejo and Gran Manier...it's well worth the premium price.

Nylvia Harrison

Everything is delicious and The Wave is my favorite drink.
