    Might be the most amazing Hamachi appetizer I’ve ever had, you could drink the sauce! My green red snap snapper dish looked like a beautiful fairy garden, the presentation was perfection.  Our waiter was at the top of his game ! Never underestimate the hostess she has the power to set the evening off with a good vibe and that’s exactly what she did! Bravo

    The salmon with plantain purée and chocomaiz were amazing, along with the stuffed peppers and ceviche! Cocktails some of the best we’ve had, getting the carajillo with dessert or a as nightcap is a must.

    Saludos! Our food was delicious, ambiance was wonderful and the suggestions Giovanni gave us on drinks, pairings etc. were the cherry on top! I recommend the Brussel sprouts- so crispy and crunchy! I had the filet mignon in black mole as I’m an omnivore. My spouse is a vegetarian. The only downside to our meal which is not unique to Mexta, is serving cauliflower as the vegetarian entree. The industry has been holding on tightly to this choice and has become the default veg-choice. I didn’t have room for dessert but their 3-cheese cheesecake caught my eye. I hope I can stop by at my next visit to Austin. :)

    Love this place! Beautiful interior, creative cocktails, and delicious food. The peppers were my favorite dish, but everything we had was wonderful. Also quiet for an Austin restaurant.

    Drinks and food were outstanding. Had La patrona margarita, smoky, spicy and strong. Definitely coming back for a few of those. Also the aguachile and the Zarandeado Red Snapper were very delicious.

    The food was exceptional! The staff was attentive and eager to help with food and drink choices. The ambiance was beautiful, comfortable, and not too noisy. Highly recommended for a special night out.
