-100000000000 stars if I could. This restaurant cares about being petty more than they care about running an actual restaurant.

Been going to Texican Cafe for years now. It's right by a Serrano's which I would give a 4 star review as well so let me sum this up. While a place like Serrano's might have some great meals and is a bit fancier. Texican Cafe has more if a down home feel and very comfortable menu. They have your migas, enchiladas, and stuffed peppers, but wafting thru the air is the wonderful smell if fajitas. They have all kinds of sauces and they bring the heat with several offerings. There's plenty of choices, often a short wait even when it's full, a bar, and cool atmosphere. It's a solid 3 and a half but if I were leaning towards 3 or 4 I'd go with 4 because I love their Texican nachos loaded with everything and think they have a great chip. I love enchiladas and you can't go wrong there. I don't even have to think about it. I do the sampler or some sour cream chicken and they come with tons of refried beans and rice. I've never once left hungry and more often than not walk out 5lbs heavier than when I walked in. Could the inside use an update? Sure. Are there sometimes when it's packed and there's a 10 minute wait...yes but not 30 or 40. It's just good Tex Mex when I don't want a fancy menu or drinks and want to get out with a family of 4 or 5 for under 100 bucks. In a good location with easy parking too!Cheers!Kid-friendliness: Have a kids menu, easy to make substitutions for most meals, not a "bar" scene. People bring their kids because it's family dining all the time.

Really good, went with a group from work, one of our partner companies bought dinner here for us. I had the steak Fabian and a margarita. Margarita was very well made, service was good, food was good. All in all a delightful meal.

Extremely overpriced and an upcharge on every nickle they can squeeze out of you. Go to Serranos portions are bigger and no constant upcharges.
Texican is an absolute staple. Great food, amazing drinks and a great patio. Highly

I have lived in Austin and have driven by Texican Cafe so many time and I regret never visiting them sooner. My daughter was so impressed with the food and she is very big on good quality food. The food was so fresh and authentic and the alcoholic beverages were just as good. Our server was very nice and attentive. We will most definitely be returning. Shrimp tacos are a must and the kids meal chicken tenders with queso was what my daughter had.Kid-friendliness: Very kid Friendly.
