They couldn’t separate a check for a large party when there were 3 tables seated. They offered to split it it 4 ways for a party of 8, so they obviously could have. They were just being lazy. I’ve never left a 1 star rating anywhere, but this was ridiculous.

The lady that cares so much about parking should worry more about the food quality and service. Stop being a bully and worry about yourself. Food is below average.

The absolute worst food I've ever had on S Lamar 😫 also $10 to park in a restaurant parking lot is mind boggling. The staff was super friendly.
Edit: was not enjoying the buffet options, only trying to find what could like. Not one option was tasty.

Absolutely loved our experience here! The food was authentic and delicious; every bite felt like a warm embrace from Mexico. Chef Marisela and Yves Godinez are not only talented but also genuinely warm and hospitable. They made us feel like part of the family. If you’re looking for the real thing, incredible flavors, good people, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place. Highly recommend!

What an experience! You arrive as strangers and leave as friends, the Godinez family made our dining experience an unforgettable one. We thoroughly enjoyed their authentic mexican cuisine, hospitality and decor. We will definitely back when we are next in Austin.

The interior Mexican food here is excellent! Prices are very reasonable. It’s a locally owned and operated restaurant. The owners are often there, friendly and welcoming , as are the wait staff! If you like to support excellent local restaurants, they’re the best! Their guacamole is great! I love the mole verde, it’s so good and not on other menus! Homemade corn tortillas, hot sauces, and we’ve never had anything that wasn’t great!

Menudo was cold, tortillas take forever to be served, everything else was pretty good, what I don't agree with is that they charge you 18 percent of gratuity, I understand when you're a party of 5 or more but we were only 3 person, don't take me wrong I usually leave a 20-25 percent of tip, what I don't like is that they impose that amount without letting you know.
Even though I liked everything else I'm just not coming back for that reason.

Very happy to have found this restaurant.
They have authentic Mexican that is prepared in a very polished, but not fancy, way.

I can’t wait to go for breakfast and try their pancakes!
