Delicious entrées, friendly attentive service, great time had by all! Had flautas, fajitas, & Enchiladas. Highly recommend, when visiting Austin. Food came out quick and hot. Had mangonada margarita, top shelf frozen margarita, & spicy Sandia margarita. All were perfect! Note: drinks were delivered full, but we drank some before the photos were taken. 😉

Cute, colorful place with huge covered patio for people watching and it is action packed out front. Server recommendations the enchiladas as a house specialty and it was soooo good. I’m craving it again already. Plenty for two servings with the side of beans and rice. $4 Modelo to boot! Happy hour ends early, I think 530 but does offer $2 off most drinks. The two kinds of salsa with chips is unique and very flavorful. You can really judge a place by the salsa first impression!

Even though my friend & I were there for the Chilaquiles, we found the rest of the Brunch menu to be enticing. We were grateful to our waitperson (I’m unable to recall their name for the review) as they paid attention to our order. My friend received her Chilaquiles order & the restaurant was able to accommodate her vegetarian requirements as I wanted to make sure I had sauce that had heat to where I could eat my meal with satisfaction. We appreciate the crunch down to every last bite. We enjoyed that there was a fruit variety of mimosas that we could have, and their Strawberry was delicious. Last, yet not least, we had to get their Lemon Curd Blueberry Crepes for dessert which filled us up for the road.

Brought my girlfriends parents here when they were visiting. Had a large patio, which was kind of loud though (fine for me but her dad wears hearing aids so it was hard for him to hear anything but background noise.)

We came here for dinner but only ended up ordering a couple of things. While the service was good the food was sub par and served with way too many chips. After chips and salsa we ordered the salmon ceviche. The ceviche came with more chips and was not good quality. We had some mango margaritas as well which were actually quite good however after the ceviche we decided to move on. I would give this place another chance or come here strictly for drinks.

Absolutely the best place to go to while visiting Austin. The food here is delicious and everything starts with the chips and dip. Any entree is bound to make your day because of how great everything is. I cannot recommend this establishment enough!
