Authentic margaritas . Careful, they're stronger than you think. Best Tacos al Pastor this side of the border and the mole is out of this world. A true Austin original!
The best place in Austin for authentic Mexican food in Austin. Not only can you leave with a full stomach, but awesome merchandise including homemade salsa and t-shirts as well .
It's a great spot with excellent food. Portions are huge, so consider sharing—especially with all of the chips and salsa coming at you!
Great food! You can always tell by the chips & salsa . Started off with queso . Then, I had their breakfast taco with potato , cheese ,bean, & egg . Flour tortillas are made in-house. Bloody Mary was ok.
Love the authenticity & ambiance! The fajitas are too good & keeps me from other dishes. Green & red salsas are a perfect opener. Fish Tacos w/ the chipotle mayo is breathtaking & Ritas rock!
My absolute favorite restaurant and happy hour location in Austin. Amazing food and literally the worlds greatest margarita . Ever.
Tejas has some cray cray liquor laws-- order food if you want a margarita on a Sunday! Tip: try the Purist!
Great queso , free chips and salsa bar , and great seating area outside under the trees .
Best place to walk up on an Amazing Free concert with Guero's Taco ' al Pastor to go with the Shiner Bock !
Street-style tacos and plenty of other favorites to feed your hunger for Mexican food . Guero’s is also the place to see and be seen during SXSW & the Austin City Limits Music Festival .
Breakfast was good and cheap . My only complaint was that I asked for my eggs medium done and they come to me almost raw. Everything else was nice.
The caldo de pollo was really good. Definitely going back next time I'm in Austin
The band brought out the best country dancers I have ever seen. I am from Jersey so it may not be saying much. But to me it was a special treat.
Say what you will about this local mecca: they have the best ritas in Austin. Not for price or quantity, but for flavor and composition. If you disagree you're wrong.
What's not to like? Great Margaritas , Tacos , and enchiladas ! Great Tex Mex in Austin
The enchiladas is the best tex-mex in Austin, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City : Austin. Read more
Margaritas are tiny and expensive , but the tacos are bomb af. Don't miss out on the salsa bar in the back
The al pastor tacos were delicious, recommended by the waitress . The service was great!! I will be back.
Vegan enchiladas , (Santa Fe), Guacamole , Chile Relleno , the guacamole and every single salsa
Green sauce with chips is my fav! And you can't beat $.25 for a black bean tamale during happy hour Monday-Friday 3-6pm.
Tortilla chips , salsa , and raspberry margarita are delish. Also, try the veggie chile relleno and add some red sauce .
You can never go wrong with the Silver Train : Herradura Silver, Cointreau and fresh squeezed lime juice . It's delicious!!
Friday nights there's the Bob Fuentes show. Lots of singing and Dancing . Super chill check it out!
You can never go wrong with the Silver Train : Herradura Silver, Cointreau and fresh squeezed lime juice . It's delicious!!
We watched a super cool band in the little garden outside. This lady was tearin up a harpsichord like nobody bizz!! Super fun!!
Great perk is that you can go to the salsa bar and refill. Heavenly choices. A salsa for everyone!
If your mom is from Pennsylvania and thinks Chi-Chis is the bomb, bring her here and blow her mind.
The lunch specials are excellent--at least the chicken tamales were. Some of the best tamales I've ever had.
I fell in love with this place. They have great food!
Margaritas are small, but don't be fooled, they pack a full punch! Pico is super fresh and the Sante Fe enchiladas are delicious!
Margaritas . Price is right especially during happy hour . Get the queso dip ya dip shits.
Vegan or carnivore, there's something for everyone! Loved the vegan queso !!
I recommend the Guero’s Gold margarita !
Earth Day is a great day for awesome tacos ! 5% of your total check will go to support eco-friendly causes.
Great patio on the side of the restaurant.. They usually have live music ...
RAC says, "Go to Guero's for some great tex mex . Also featured in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. One of my favorite films ."
Green salsa from the salsa bar . Slightly limey. Delicious. Get it.
Park far far away and walk
Amazing portions and the chicken soup was so yum!
This South Congress gem is famous for the tacos al pastor and celebrity sightings. We hear it's a frequently visited haunt for Quentin Tarantino. Read more
BEST tortilla soup in town . Chicken broth base, not tomato . Perfect to clear up a head-cold or a hang-over. Tacos el pastor are also a favorite.
Try the tres leches for dessert ! Mmmmm
On Tusedays, grab a Mexican beer for $2 or a frozen Margarita for $4. Discounts on appetizers , and $.50 off other beer and liquor .
The food is wonderful. It's feels you are in Mexico eating authentic Mexican food .
Go indoors for a quieter experience, out on the street to be seen, or at the outdoor patio for live music .
Awesome outdoor setting , drinks and MUSIC ! Got to go.
Our go-to place on SoCo. Fun and friendly bar and good TexMex .
How can you go wrong with Carne Guisada taco's from Guero's? You can't!!!
