Terrible. Waited two hours no food. $90 for two pitchers and 2 beers. Everyone here starving.

Worst experience in a long time. Over 2 hours for food when not overly busy. I was so tired by the time the food showed up I did not want to eat. Ordered at 7:30 pm. Food by 9:30. Wow.

Came for dinner before an event right down the street. We got there in time for about the last 45 minutes of happy hour. We ordered the happy hour margaritas (rocks) and happy hour queso. The margaritas were not very strong and small. If/when I come back I would order 2 at a time. The HH queso however was huge and super yummy. It was a Blanco queso and really creamy.
I got the fiesta dipper and my friend got the HH quesadilla. The fiesta dipper was a great size and was filling. I wish the menu had listed what kind of sauces it came with. There were two green sauces, the spicier one was the best and a white sauce (possibly sour cream based?) that was just ok. The flautas were killer, by far best thing on the plate. The nachos had plenty of melted cheese and were a good size. The quesadilla tasted good but it was sooo soggy and hard to enjoy. My friends HH quesadilla was the same.
Our server was nice and attentive, he did forget one of the rounds of margaritas and we had to remind him about 30 minutes later.
We ended with the churros which were so good.

Went during the day, didn't realize you order at the counter so when we sat down a staff member came and took our order! Awesome service and good prices. The chips and house made salsa are a must!

Very cool place
Bartender Eric was the coolest dude ever. Other Bartender already on shift was cool as well. A 3rd person, lady that I didn't catch her name might have been having a rough day, but otherwise so much fun

Garage food, service and drinks. We were visiting Austin and someone at our hotel recommended it for good Tex Mex and it was easily the worst food we had during our entire stay and possibly ever !

In town for a show at the Mohawk. Pelons is nearby. Stopped in for dinner & drinks. Good choice, margs were excellent as was the food. Delicious. Carnitas enchiladas, on point.

Beautiful patio- the spinach enchiladas were very flavorful and portion was large for the price. Marg was on point too.

Great food in funky atmosphere with the coolest old oak tree at the center of the multi-deck restaurant. Watch out for falling acorns!

The place looks cool, it’s Austin. We were seated and after 10 mins left. We didn’t have any servers swing by at all for water or drink order. If it was super busy I’d understand but it was dead. I’ll try again later but it was frustrating. So for now 1 star.
