“It’s Wutang night or 90s R&B/Hip Hop night? Either way I’m compelled to leave a review post kaytranada show bc it’s exactly what I wanted without knowing.

The seasonal cocktails overdelivered and I’m very impressed with the complex flavors that somehow stay rounded. I’m drinking something that tastes like vanilla cake frosting and I love it??? My previous drink had cacao, sarsaparilla, whiskey. The bartender is obviously talented and gives good energy.

Also +1000 for the fun Halloween decor I love it ? ??‍♀️ ? I did have a hot dog and nothing special - it gave what it needed to give“

“If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Austin, Kalimotxo is the place to be! From the moment you walk in, the vibrant atmosphere and modern decor set the stage for an incredible evening. The menu is a creative blend of Spanish-inspired dishes packed with bold flavors and artful presentation.

We loved everything we tried on the menu, particularly the tasty patatas bravas, a superb grilled fish with pil pil sauce, and the pork Milanese finished table side, all perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. A beautiful array of cocktails pair beautifully with their tapas.

The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Our waiter made excellent recommendations and truly enhanced our experience.

Whether on a date night or out with friends, Kalimotxo offers a unique and memorable dining adventure. It’s the perfect spot for delicious food, terrific drinks, and great vibes. I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!“
