Honestly I got disgusted by the fact they r serving tap filtered water(this is what the waitress claimed!!) Tap Filtered water is used for the body not drinking!! They also use it in there sodas! We are paying for it use the right bottled water!! Food small serving for the price!

Tacos al carbon “fajita style” is the move. Depending on sever they may just bring out onions and peppers on a side plate. Regardless this is the order!!!

Great place to have some full-flavour Tex-Mex food in a cool setting with a nice buzzing atmosphere.
Food was great. Has the Asadero, Al Pastor and Fish Tacos. All delicious.
Definitely with a visit when in Austin.

It’s a classic Austin retro machine - assembly line handles the overpopulation of Austin incredibly well. Hundreds of people rushing and pushing from the parking lot to the lines inside .. yet the servers were elegant and the food continues to be great as it has for decades.

Great food and service. 40 minute wait on a weekend without reservations IS acceptable. Reiterating happy to wait only 40 minutes. I'm accustomed to being turned away without a reservation so this was 100% positive experience.

The service was outstanding!!! The food was good. Everything is hot and fresh. There’s more authentic Mexican and Tex Mex food spots around town but it was a great experience so 5 stars all around.
