VERDAD True Modern Mexican

I made reservations based off a recommendation from a friend. Verdad did not disappoint! Every single item we tasted was absolutely phenomenal! Our server Grace, was exceptional and guided us through the menu for our first time. All of her recommendations and descriptions were spot on and her service was outstanding. Shout out to Verdad for such an amazing experience. I also want to note that I accidentally left my to go food, and as I came back in to the restaurant to grab, another staff member was leaving me a voicemail stating they would hold it if I came back! Truly amazing! Thank you all for a wonderful time! We will be back!

We’ll be trying this place again. Some very tasty dishes. Getting a steak at a “Mexican restaurant” was an excellent choice.

The seafood enchiladas are to die for. Definitely get those if they’re available.

A friend recommended this place and I loved it! Really good Mexican food with lots of seafood options. The tacos and guac that we had were amazing. Definitely want to go back and try many more things. They have a pretty good happy hour too

We recently celebrated my friend birthday at VERDAD True Modern Mexican, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish.
The food was exceptional — fresh, vibrant, and beautifully executed. The beef fajita was just perfect. The flavors were bold yet balanced, showcasing modern takes on Mexican cuisine without losing authenticity
The atmosphere was lively but comfortable — perfect for a special gathering. For our birthday celebration, the staff made sure we felt the moment was special without going over the top. It struck just the right balance between warm and festive.

One of the highlights of the visit was our waiter. He was attentive, friendly, and intuitive about what we needed. He not only knew the menu well (and offered great recommendations), but also handled the birthday surprise with grace and enthusiasm. He made us feel celebrated, not like an item on a checklist.
If you’re looking for great food, a stylish setting, and staff who truly care — especially for a celebration — VERDAD is a top pick in Austin. We’ll definitely be back!

I’ve dined at Verdad several times and recently hosted an event in their Terraza space. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Valeria, the events coordinator is a dream to work with - communicative, knowledgeable and very helpful. On the day of the event, she checked in multiple times to make sure things were going smoothly. I really appreciated the personal touch. All of the other staff that helped us at the event were amazing as well, and so hospitable.

We were able to add small personal touches to the event space, and it was really nice to have that flexibility.

The food at Verdad is excellent, and my guests could not stop raving about the drinks, appetizers and desserts we served at the event. For some of my guests, it was their first time dining at Verdad, and they’ve already gone back since with their friends and family.

We had a phenomenal meal here. We met up with some friends for a date night to try something new. We love the Perrys family restaurants, especially Carve, and thought we’d like to give this new one a try. We were not disappointed at all. The drinks were great. The appetizers were very tasty. And the food was absolutely phenomenal. Even the dessert. Get the BURNT MILK CANDY for dessert or even the Keylime pie! Give it a try!
