Best location of all for Maudie's in Austin IMHO. True Tex Mex. Must try the Rockin Ruthanns plate and Maidas salad with chicken fajita protein, and cilantro lime dressing, which is unbelievably tasty. Everything from the charro beans, to the extra spicy green salsa (secret menu item) is one of a kind flavorful. Tea is strong, and service is 100 every time. Prices are really good for Austin, home of the $20 single taco food truck experience including waiting 30 minutes in the hot sun only to eat on a picnic table covered in bird poop. Who does that? Tourists, you can stay in your lane and live your best lives out there. This is a place for locals who have eaten at one or all of the Maudie's locations for 3 decades. They really cook in this kitchen. They pour a really mean margarita that everyone swears is the best on the planet. This location has a vast outdoor seating area with views of the hill country. No bird poop since they have a screened roof protecting your food. Overall atmosphere is gorgeous.

Tons of options, good Mexican food for the price (like a step up from Taco Bell) but nothing fancy. I had the enchiladas perfecto and it was a bit too salty for me but the other two plates of food were good. I would come again just getting something different. Good to come here every now and again!

I can’t remember the last time I’ve had service this bad. Went in on a weeknight to catch the end of happy hour. Sat in the bar area (it’s very small) our waiter checked on the three surrounding tables, not ours. I waited 5 minutes and then went to order at the bar. The waiter brought our frozen margs and we couldn’t tell if there was even any alcohol in them, so when he eventually came back, we ordered floaters. He apparently forgot to put them in and was chatting with the regulars for 15+ minutes before coming back, without the floaters. Forgot the extra chips we ordered for our queso, and we had to verbally repeat our orders twice, super inattentive. The amount of times he checked on the tables right next to ours was truly baffling. We were just laughing at one point because it was so comically bad. Maudie’s food is ok at best, people go for the drinks/vibe, so for the service to be this bad is just yikes. Brought our bill and didn’t comp anything or apologize for the super long wait. Will definitely be heading to Lupe Tortilla in Westlake next time, their food/service is so much better.

Hernandez enchiladas were excellent. Queso and Guacamole, perfect. I will drive 40 miles again, worth it.

The cheese enchiladas are the best we have ever had! We live out of town but visit family in Austin every few months. We always pick a day to go to Maudies in Lakeway. They are always consistently the same, always great! Also their salsa and Queso are great. Good salsa can make or break my opinion of a tex-mex restaurant.

The service has been declining since all the servers are on the Toast system, at least on the patio. Disappointed my second time to make sure it was the case :( Bummer because it was one of my favs spots in Bee caves that had fresh chips and a wide variety of fresh options. By the way it is nearly impossible to get a seat at barduring HH. I wish they would open the upstairs bar more often.
