   The food was very disappointing. The drinks were really good. The service was fantastic! It was very loud and very busy. Overall a nice place but food is not authentic cuisine

   Service was good but evenings are always busy so service is quick but does the job. Ambience always has a fun, party atmosphere which is the big draw. Food in general is pretty good but the low point was the chicken al pastor which was a little charred and tough on the outside.

   I love this place but we were seated in front of a door that was constantly being opened, letting really cold air blow over our table. Considering the weather, that entry door should have been marked closed. It still could have been available for a fire exit, or even better, don’t seat people near it. Kind of ruined our experience. It was COLD!

   They refused to seat us at a table for four with five people, even though one was a child- so we had to sit outside in the cold with our friends visiting from up north - waitress fair, food was fair- tbh disappointed-

   Our server Priscilla was lovely. She was patient and helpful and very knowledgeable of the menu. That always makes a dining experience so much better. We were celebrating My Sons 30th birthday and had a really nice time. The food was delicious, and very fresh, service was quick, but not rushed. Margaritas were great. Every entrée and appetizer was delicious. Presentation was nice. The only thing I would change was the Birria tacos served on that wood tray, the wood was really rough and splintered and the bathroom was a hot mess and sinks were clogged. Honestly, we had a great time. We ordered extra entrées to bring home. We will definitely be back very soon. 100% recommend

    I am not a fan of the style of Mexican food. The Austin Queso is nothing like any queso I’ve ever eaten in Austin or Texas. It was chunky rather than smooth like Tex-mex queso. My son did enjoy his street tacos with pork.
