    Beef Nachos

    Looking for a big space with cheap food and decent food? This is the place for you. The food is decent but the prices and portions are great. Most likely you will never have to wait to go here since there is so many space. The service was super fast once we order even though it took a while for them to first come to check in on us.

    This restaurant is closing in on 700 reviews and you will find it on the southbound feeder of I35 just before the 38th St. exit. When viewed from the street, the restaurant looks a lot smaller than it actually is. If you come at a busy time, they do have an overflow area to sit at and they will hand you a buzzer to let you know when you are to be seated. There's tons of seating here so they can accommodate large groups. I came here with a group of 18 people for lunch and they were able to seat us all together (we made a reservation). This place is super popular and there can easily be about 100 people inside for lunch. This is a business that has been around for over 40 years and at this location since 2011. One metric I gauge how good Tex-Mex is, is how good or bad or chips and salsa are. I really like their salsa because it is served chilled, but you can feel the heat by the first bite. Chips are good, but pretty average. Our waitress kept the chips and salsa full and dropped off plenty of napkins. The one thing that became apparently obvious when all the entres were being dropped off, was that it is quite clear you get a lot on the plate for your money. Normally, TexMex gets an acceptable three star rating from me and the refried beans and rice here are nothing special. However, the service, price and food bumps it to 4 stars. They have the right formula working for them here, decent food, price, and service keeps their customers coming back. The informative photos included spell out the rest.

    Classic old Tex-mex. Sunday brunch was very busy. Serve breakfast and lunch at 11:00. Our party of six had enchiladas, tacos, migas. Everyone was happy. Service was good especially considering how busy they were. Ambience was loud and lively old Austin Tex-Mex.

    Good puffy tacos. I also had a cheese enchilada. It was okay, but didn't have that tex-Mex flair. The chips and salsa was good. The waitress took our order quickly, and the food came out pretty fast. It was lunchtime. I would go back, but not for the enchiladas.

    Service was very friendly and food was yummmm!!! Be prepared they give you a lot of food! We could have easily split a 2 taco dinner!! I loved their chips and salsa! Salsa has a good kick to it!

    I came here for the Puffy Tacos based on Yelp reviews. They are in the menu as VILLAGE TACOS. So I decided that I would order the 3 enchilada lunch special with a puffy taco on the side to check them out. I sat at the bar and the menu, chips, and tea were quickly served. The food was excellent! Also, the manager came around checking on patrons.

    Super cute place. It was very lively on a Tuesday for lunch. Our group of 10 was seated pretty quickly. Our waitress was very attentive and caring. Our chips and salsa was refilled very quickly. I loved the chips, they were thick and made fresh to order. I got the special of cheese enchiladas. It was pretty delicious but a huge order. The food also came with flour tortillas on the side for the rice and beans and it was delicious. We were also brought a delicious tres leche to celebrate a birthday.

    Food and service was amazing. I'd recommend buying food for the table and sharing with everyoneread more

    Best meal of the Austin trip: upscale tacos and housemade masa in a welcoming space…read more Food: 5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Waitress Kelly was wonderful and so professional. She noticed I was ordering dairy items on side and asked about if pesto in guacamole was ok. So astute and kind of her. Also on my friends second drink remembered she didn't want salt or her rim without even asking - Everything tasted so fresh and high quality - Brisket tacos: packed with flavor--maybe it was the wagyu meat or the black magic oil. Freshly made corn tortillas were awesome. Usually corn ones and pretty throwaway meh, but these added to the greatness of the tacos. 5 stars - Duck flautas: crispy covered in mild mole. Loved the mashed potato addition inside for some mellowness and texture. 5 stars - Guacamole: so fresh and that dollop of pesto on top was lovely. Served with crispy masa dippers were impressive almost a 8x11 page size. It was fun to crack off into pieces, but hard to stop eating it. 5 stars - Sweet potato: friend loved these long charred wedges. 4.5 stars - Cocktails were stellar. I got the Don Dario which was a play on a marg and delightful - $12 of a few drinks during lucky hour (Mon-Fri 5-6pm, Sat-Sun 3-5pm) - High energy vibes in a clean, open, tan colored space - Had their bottle water on the table in a champagne bottle which speaks to my heart Midlights: - In East Austin so have to Uber if you are staying more central - Tacos come in orders of 4. Wish it was less so we could've tried more variety. Lowlights - No food discounts for lucky hour - Didn't have time to try the choco taco which looked amaze - Large gap of time between items first few items coming out and the rest

    Beautiful restaurant and excellent service (thank you Juan)…read more Very innovative cocktails. Good chips and salsa. The breakfast burrito was really delicious. Good refried beans, too. I ordered the brunch cachetada and wasn't thrilled. The suiza chicken and runny eggs diluted the flavor and made the cheese crust on the tortilla soggy. I had to add a lot of hot sauce. It needed more texture and flavor. Overall a boring dish. I would definitely return and order something else, however.

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

    As a Texas native & Austinite, my boyfriend has been going to Fonda for years (they've been around…read moresince 1975 after all). I've only been once and it's definitely not gonna be the last time. In fact, we've got an upcoming reservation that's been on the books for quite sometime. They've managed to remain delicious, relevant and in demand 50 years! That's saying something. I'll tell you what that says...it says they rule! Reservations can be tricky to get but oh so worth it. The bar & atrium are fantastic and they boast a generous happy hour. The restaurant area and entire space are decorated wonderfully. Amazing artwork adorns the walls, they've got extensive art all about, vaulted ceilings and more. It's kind of like being in a hacienda. It feels like you're in Mexico. Truly. The restaurant and food are upscale without being pretentious. How refreshing! Speaking of refreshing...they've got cocktails and mocktails that will knock your socks off. I'm a big fan of the Nojito. My boyfriend loves the Mexican martini (it's primo). Let's talk about food. Wow-wee is it everything and then some. This is the kind of Tex-Mex flavor that sends your tastebuds into a tailspin of goodness! On our visit we did a salsa flight (we did 3 salsas), the queso (melted muenster and Oaxacan), Wagyu beef tacos, and chicken verde enchiladas. We did a spread like that in order to share everything. Food so good I'd give ten stars if I could. I can't put my finger on it but there's just something so special about the food, the taste of it, and the quality. It's just incredible flavor explosion bite after bite. If I had to guess, I'd say the food has been made with love, skill, and attention to detail all these years. Hence, their amazing reputation. Service is beyond compare. Hands down some of the best I've experienced in all of my worldly travels. Fonda San Miguel (Tzintzuntzan) is a dream come true!
