Grab a drink at the bar outside while you wait for a table. MUCH larger on the inside than appears. Awesome atmosphere and architecture . Queso is delish. Try one of the combos to try a variety

Excellent service ! Get the fried avocado app!! Pitcher o Margaritas with warm chips and salsa all while chilling with my pup (water bowls upon request) on the patio makes for a marvelous afternoon.

Inexpensive , gorgeous spot. Sit outside under the Large tree . Get the margaritas , carnitas enchiladas , and a side of sour cream . Play the huge Jenga game while waiting for a table.

This place is one of the best kept secrets in town . The food is great, the drinks are even better... And there is rarely a wait to be seated.

Serious Eats

Head over to this Tex-Mex restaurant smack in the middle of the SXSW action for admirable chips and queso , enchiladas , and fajitas .

Amanda Milano

Corey Gusnowski

This place is super tasty. I heart the salt for the margaritas . And the warm salsa . And everything else.

Marcus Kellis

The queso is best-of-class. Pork carnita enchiladas and chicken tortilla soup are also great.

Tanya G.

Great tex-mex & great service!

Billy Graham

Not much of a food selection. Good drinks. Queso is nice. More of a drinking/chips and salsa place. Has connections with the tequila bar next door.

Caroline Dickey

Guava frozen marg , all you need to know ???? (and fajitas ).

Jay Hartwig

Chicken flautas and local brews .

Jeff

The pork enchiladas are really fucking good. Oh my god. (Don't bother with the guac tostada or beef tacos...meh)

Travis Swicegood

They've got some amazing sopaphillas. Make sure to save room for them.

Elisa

The Fresca is delicious- tastes like margarita and lemonade :). Queso was just ok- nothing special. Carnitas enchiladas were worth ordering!

minnie

shrimp + lobster enchiladas : magnifique

Tomas Jelinek

If you are sitting outside beware of falling acorns ;)

Charles Xavier

The drinks are ok, but I guess I shouldn't have expected much from a place on red river . Flavorless food, I had no problem with the service, the salsas are ok.

This Wednesday the 5th!

Emily Murphy

Melanie Tipps

Dog friendly .

Becca Frasier

That Aaron B dude is completely wrong. About everything.

James Blackwell

Don't bother... Unless you like crapy fast food Mexican food . We couldn't even finish our meal! Cheap quality food.

Charles D.

The food is dry and the service is slow. In a town like Austin, how is it still open?

Joe Young

Horrid experience... the absolute worst waitress ever, incorrect drink orders and entrees gone missing. Overall, pathetic service and a mundane meal.
