We had a great time at this Austin restaurant. If you're looking for delicious and authentic food from Oaxaca as well as the most extensive list of Mezcal, this is your place. Their tortilla chips were thin and crispy. Just the way I like them. Great shopping near buy. Our waiter was busy but attentive.

We popped in for drinks on a busy evening. Staff were very friendly and informative despite the rush. The salsa is very weak when it comes to spice. But the drinks were great! Horchata was very refreshing, the margaritas hit the spot and their signature drink is unique.

Great vibe in this place and some of the best mole in town. The Enmoladas De Pollo is a great mole sampler and one of my favorite dishes of any restaurant around.

My favorite Mexican food in Austin!Amazing and interesting Mexican cuisine! Delicious cocktails. Pull style queso is bomb. The huitlacoche with cumin seasoned cashew butter appetizer is out of this world. Mezcal and ghost pepper martini.Must try

Coming from Seattle, I knew Austin was known for its Tex Mex and Mexican Cuisine. The food and service at Chapulin Cantina exceeded my expectations. The plates at this place are to die for, and we couldn’t have enough of the guacamole. Definitely would come back here next time we visit Austin. Excellent food for an excellent price!!!

This is such a gem of a place. SO TASTY, all I tried there, and the prices are actually great, compared to most places in Austin. A LOT of gluten free options, too. Oh and free water and chips with salsas to start with. Went here twice already, may come back again soon!
