This place has really good, large tacos. Unfortunately, this morning I didn't have the same experience that I've had in the past. I bought 2 of the ham, egg, potatoe and cheese tacos and as I prepared to add hot sauce, I grabbed a little piece of ham to try and it did not taste good. It was discolored and tasted awful. Ham is usually a little pink but this meat was grayish. This kind of concerned me as to the tase and appearance. I subtracted 2 stars for this but all the other times they've been really good.

The Commons is a good place to grab a quick bite if you're there for a conference or visiting one of the nearby labs. The food is fine, and the pricing is fair. I wouldn't make a special trip to eat here but it's good for what it is.Update: The breakfast is really good. They have breakfast tacos and biscuits and gravy, both of which I recommend.

Great potatoes, eggs, and cheese tacos. Friendly cashier and reasonable priced tacos for the size and flavor.

Thank god these guys are open again. A year and a half of fast food and take out has cause my doctor to become quite angry.$10 for amazing scratch made food and fresh never frozen veggies is the best, healthiest deal in Austin. Tasty meat and vegetarian entrees available cafeteria style every day. Free parking 1-hour now by the water tower. Get in and out quick or dine in with lots of outdoor space.These guys are back and on point with the food.

Can't believe this is a \\\"school cafeteria\\\". Food is out of this world and portiond are crazy big (if you're reading this, seriously, you could back off a little... ;-)
This place is a true hidden gem! Because of the location you would not expect an incredible and affordable cafeteria, but there is! You'll need to go through the visitors entrance and follow the signs or ask the guard at the gate.They have the menu planned out every week and you have your choice of each type of protein plus 2 sides... All for under $10! You cannot find a better deal! When I worked in the area I went here at least twice a week. Chef and his crew are incredible!

I'm eating the steak fajitas right now. The steak is cold and tough/grisley. Overpriced. Reminds me why I hardly ever consider going there anymore.
It's a campus cafe.
