“Food was good, ambiance was nice and service was excellent. For me, the place was too loud. If you do not mind, I can recommend the place. Just make sure you come early. They do not take reservations and the line was long.“

“5 star to most of the food 1 star for some. I love home state and have eaten at several locations for the last 7 years. I was really excited when the Santa Monica store opened. My favorite tacos always have the brisket. I’ve now had 2 different brisket tacos on two different occasions and the brisket was so salty it was not edible. Both times ordered in. Really disappointing. First time I ordered both the brisket and the trinity were not edible due to salt. This go around brisket was barely edible due to the salt content snd was cold. Luckily the other food was delicious. I hope they can get their brisket recipe right at this location because it is not something I can order again currently. This is coming from someone who in the past has gone out of my way for this taco.“

“Went to watch the pats and Texans game wasnt crowed plenty or tables available... service was great sat in the bar area bartender sorry didnt recall his name.. was great never let my drink past half empty before bringing another one... wings were on point and southwest eggrolls always a favorite..“

“HomeState delivers a Tex-Mex experience that’s nothing short of spectacular. The quesadilla, a golden masterpiece of melty cheese and perfectly griddled tortilla, strikes an ideal balance of comfort and flavor, substantial yet never heavy. Four distinct tacos showcased a vibrant range of fillings, each one a testament to HomeState’s mastery of Texas-inspired cuisine. From smoky brisket to bright, zesty chicken and beef options, every taco bursts with bold, authentic flavors, wrapped in warm, pillowy tortillas that elevate the experience to something truly special. House-made salsas add layers of complexity, making each bite a revelation.

The freshly squeezed lemonade proves the perfect partner, its crisp, not-too-sweet brightness cutting through the richness of the meal with refreshing finesse. HomeState’s atmosphere radiates warmth and Austin charm, blending a laid-back vibe with a welcoming energy. Staff move with efficiency and genuine friendliness, ensuring every dish arrives hot and fresh. Other reviews often highlight the breakfast tacos and migas as must-tries, and while those weren’t on the plate this time, the menu’s depth promises more delicious adventures on the next visit.“
