Stopped into Chupacabra Cantina on East 6th and it’s a decent option when you want Tex-Mex and a lively bar vibe in the same place. The atmosphere is fun and casual, and it’s easy to pop in for tacos, a margarita, and some music. The good stuff: quick bites hit the spot and the drinks are easy to order. The not-so-good: when it’s packed, service can slow down and the food can feel a little inconsistent depending on what you get. Overall, I’d go back for a laid-back pre-game or late-night stop, just keeping expectations realistic.

We saw the food photos online and were excited to sit and have a snack before heading to a nearby comedy show. We walked by and were confused, because it doesn't look anything like the photos and definitely didn't appear to have food. We were going to leave, but were ushered in and decided to have a drink since we were already here. The bartender was impatient with me, but did help my friend kindly with a beer and I appreciated that. It was very slow at the time we arrived. I do think that their social media should be updated to reflect that they no longer serve food.

Joe the bartender was lovely. My bf and I were visiting austin and he took fantastic care of us at the bar and gave us GREAT taco recommendations (and was an East Coast-er like us!). The giant marg was the size of my skull and then some, and we even did a shot on the house. This place rocked, thanks Joe from Brooklyn!

There was food here less than 2 years ago, with photo proof literally on Google. However, the bartender working was extremely rude to me and made me feel stupid when I asked to order food. He said this bar has never had food for the entire 5 years theyve been open. Thats super incorrect sir, ive eaten here multiple times. He would not let me be right. Not sure what his deal was, but they don't have food here anymore even though it states online that they do. Without the food, this bar just sucks. The vodka sodas taste like the water has been sitting in a sewer for months. Won't ever come back here now that the food is gone.

There's no food here even though it states it on the Google website. No food if you are coming to eat dont listen to the Google photos or maps..its just another generic bar.

Drinks are good and the music was litty. That bathroom was small and nasty but most of them are in the 6th st area. They have huge drinks here so grab a shareable rita! Make sure you tip the bartenders!! I like how this bar has seating areas and an area outside to sit down. Blue Hawaiian was yummers!!

The bartender was great. He shared a lot of local knowledge for us to go and do.

My boyfriend and I stopped in on Sunday April 27th. A promoter offered us a free drink as we were walking down the street. After he notified the bartender about our free shot, the bartender was extremely rude. Rolled her eyes when notified and ignored us until I started getting her attention after 10 minutes. Asked for a gin and sprite, and tequila with sprite. It was extremely obvious the bartender was drunk at 7:30pm. She couldn’t find the gin, and gave us the wrong drinks… 3 times. She was throwing cups behind the bar and was accidentally pouring alcohol on herself when trying to make our drinks. Extremely rude, sloppy, and drunk. The bartender was a short Hispanic woman with a face tattoo near her eyebrow. It’s extremely unfortunate because we loved the music and wanted to stay for more drinks and the patio… never finished the drinks because the atmosphere and disrespect were deterring us from having a good time. Will absolutely not return.

Got punched in the face for no reason and was seen by the bouncer. Bouncer backed him up, and when I confronted him, asked if I wanted to fight him. Terrible bar, do not go. Owner, if you are reading this, please watch the outdoor camera, and fire him.
