Restaurants near Mount Vernon

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 We had an amazing experience tonight! The steaks were a 10/10 — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and absolutely worth the visit. But the real star was Emma. She has a true servant’s heart and is absolutely an asset to this restaurant. You can tell she genuinely cares. As someone who’s been a waitress myself, I notice the little things — her timing was spot-on, she was quick, friendly, attentive, and she has such a fun, natural personality that made the whole evening even better. Thank you, Emma, for making our night memorable. We will definitely be back!”

“I have been going to this place since it was in the house on 7th and I-35. Best TRUE Tex-Mex (or as we always called it, Mexican) food restaurants around. I think this type of food is becoming a lost art when you move away from the Texas border, where it began. People are so much about Fajitas and fancy style Mexican food nowadays, they don't appreciate the traditional flavors. I grew up on the cheese enchiladas with carne sauce. They bring the taco before the rest of the meal. All very traditional and awesome! Mexican Martini's are great and if you haven't tried the lemonade, I highly recommend it! The service is also very good. Glad to see a family owned place like this still thriving in the ever changing Austin landscape. Hope to go there for many years to come!”

“Food was AMAZING!! Definitely going back!! The staff was so sweet!”

“If you’re looking for authentic Dhaba-style food, this is the place to be! We were traveling from Oklahoma to Louisiana and were worried about the lack of non-chain restaurant options. To our delight, we found this gem—and the food was amazing. We ordered Tandoori Roti, Regular Roti, Baingan Bharta, and Dal Tadka, and everything was packed with flavor. However, the washrooms were quite disappointing, so this is best suited for a food stop rather than a full rest break.”

“awesome place , don't miss out on the contest for free meal!”
