Great location, gorgeous interior, good service. The drinks and food were fabulous... with one exception. The restaurant does a 'modern interpretation' of chips (served w/ guacamole, which is delish, and an awesome tomatillo salsa) and we did not love this. Special non-GMO corn from Mexico seems to be a signature for the restaurant, but the corn tortillas served with salsas as a starter were just Ok (not great) in my opinion. And I wasn't a fan of the modern interpretation of chips (some were too crunchy, some tasted quite bland, which was off-putting). By contrast, the chips that we had at Takoba yesterday (crunchy, fresh, traditional corn chips) were awesome. ATX Cocina is a good spot though... the fish tacos were amazing and margaritas = yum! read more

I'm not normally a fan of upscale Mexican food, but I LOVE every other restaurant by these owners, so I had to try it. And I am so glad I did. The space is gorgeous, clean and contemporary while somehow not being obnoxiously loud. We were able to have a quiet conversation in a packed restaurant on a Saturday night. And we didn't feel like we were right on top of our neighbors. The service was great. Attentive without hovering. But the important part is the food. The food is fabulous. We tried the house margs, which were very good. The Queso fundido was some of the best I've had. And those tortillas! They are out of this world!! We next had the drunken snapper which was fresh and flavorful and beautiful to behold. And for our entree we had the short rib, again with those tortillas. Everything was fabulous. The price is a little high for the portion size, but I'd be willing to pay it again and look forward to trying more of the menu. read more

Wow! I've been wanting to go to this restaurant for several months and I finally made it! It was one of the best meals I've ever had! I highly highly recommend trying it out. Everything was wonderful - the service, the atmosphere, the pace of the dishes coming out and of course the food! I will absolutely be back and bring my friends! read more

There are several places in Austin to have excellent Mexican food and we didn't feel this was one of them. The question fundido was too thick, the crab tostadas had so much spice to it that you couldn't taste the crab at all and the burrata with tomatoes didn't provide enough tomatoes to go with the cheese. The drinks were ok, but for the price there are several other places in town that are better and more conducive to conversation. read more

Came here last Sunday night with a friend. The space is very posh and inviting. Friendly staff and the bartender made me a great watermelon marg! I honestly want to give the place 4-5 stars, but the proportions relative to price were very disappointing. One order of small tacos was $15 and one crab tostada was $19. My friend I was entertaining left still hungry. I think this place can gain repeat customers/become competitive in this market if prices come down. I have friends that live in the condos above that have commented on the price point as well. read more

Food 4.5 stars Service 2.5 stars Food (tortillas, salsas, guac, queso, entrees, etc.) were great. Drinks were good. Service/kitchen was slow, uninformed, and confused. Had a large party and got to sample most of the menu but it took more than 3 hours from start/finish to do so with plenty of inattentive staff in blue jean shirts working. Restaurant vibe was not 'ATX' but rather SF, NY, or some other large urban center with wealthy, attractive hipsters/professionals in modern setting. Can see why that make some love it and some hate it. If you want some good high-end modern, Mexican/Tex Mex, you will love it. Food was better than La Condesa. if you want value, service, speed, or an 'Austin' place, probably not for you. read more

We were hoping to find another regular dinner or happy hour spot since we live close by. The food was average, and the prices were too high for the offerings, the service was subpar, and the entire experience just felt like they thought much too much of themselves. We might try again after they've settled in but for now, we won't be their guinea pigs. read more

I can say, this is a great Happy Hour place to hang out with good company but coming here for dinner, I will take off one star because the menu selection is not that attractive. I will come back for Happy Hour but not for dinner. We have too many place In ATX for dinner competition. read more

Great food. If you feel it's a bit expensive, Don't. You get quality food, especially when comparing to surrounding restaurants. Happy hour is awesome with more economical prices. The only quibble is the pretentious atmosphere. read more

We had a great meal, the cesar salad is the best I've had,our server Ronnie was great, highly recommend

Excellent hang out with a modern twist on Mexican / Latin infusion cuisine. Appetizers entrees and drinks are top notch. Great ambiance as well. It was a welcome surprise after the disappointing dinner y Sway from night before. This is now a fav in Austin. read more

Great happy hour. Friendly staff, tasty margs and abundant outdoor seating. Celebrated our anniversary and staff acknowledged with a very nice card and flutes of champagne. Only thing missing was espresso for my caffeine addiction. Will visit again! read more

We came here during SXSW because our Uber driver recommended it. The food and service was phenomenal. The spare ribs are some of the best that I've ever had and the brussel sprouts were to die for. I'd strongly recommend this place. read more

Excellent!!! Delish crudo dishes - think the best ceviche ever but more with a sashimi angle and the lamb and beef ribs were absolutely delish! I had the best tequila ever there and have to go back because I can't remember the name...thanks to our waitress,Katie's, recommendation, who by the way was absolutely fabulous!! The food did take a little long but the atmosphere and drinks were fun so hardly noticed. Highly recommend and can't wait to return! read more

The food was good here and ambiance was excellent. The dishes were little overpriced but worth the place and atmoshphere. We tried fish crudo appetizers, guacamole, plato's tacos,brussels sprout and they were all great. read more

Hands down favorite restaurant in Austin! It's become a tradition to eat her on Christmas Eve that we look forward to every year! Protip: order all the veggie sides and share an entre, you'll be glad you did! That corn is to die for! read more

Our waitress and food were great! The hostess, Taylor, however, was not friendly over the phone or while we were waiting to be seated. Understandably it is a challenging time to be in the restaurant business, but as the face of the restaurant - the host/hostess should make every effort to make patrons feel welcome. We did not feel welcome at all at ATX Cocina. read more

One of the best meals that I have had. The service and ambience were amazing. Every single course and drink we had was phenomenal. Definitely have at least one type of crudo, we had the snapper followed by the burrata where the passilla verde tied the entire dish together with the smokiness of the mezcal. Last but not least the chili roasted chicken with the white mole with a side order of the esquires (you have to order this) could not be surpassed. I'm only here for a few days, but I am definitely going back. read more

Was able to celebrate a milestone birthday with a few close friends at this wonderful restaurant. They have a great outdoor patio area under a huge tree which is awesome in these covid times. The food was delicious, the drinks too good, and the service amazing. Highly recommend!!! read more

Wow is really all I can say. I am speechless, in a good way, about the whole dining experience. The waitstaff were friendly and super helpful about the menu. Everything in the restaurant is gluten free which is amazing for those in your life that have gluten allergies. If you want an upscale Mexican cuisine experience this is the place to go. The guacamole and beef tartare were so fresh. I had the lamb with such amazing spices. I just wanted to stay there and eat everything off the menu. This is a must go to when visiting Austin! read more

Yum! Such good food here. Loved the corn and the steak. Nice place to bring the parents to pay for a meal!! Just opened so needs to work out some kinks in their staffing and service but, overall really great stuff! Can't wait to come back and try that watermelon drink read more

Awesome scene! First and foremost, portion size was pretty good. I was with 3 other guys and we're all above average size and have a huge appetite. We order the chicken that was for two, a steak and two appetizers and we were stuffed! Anyways, when you walk in you're instantly excited to sit down and read the menu. Their margaritas were full of flavor, the salsa was perfect and the food was amazing! Our waitress Jamie was great! She is very professional, polite, came over to the table the perfect amount of times, and had a beautiful smile! Would recommend this place and if you're a fan of tuna I'd recommend the tuna taco!! read more

Very big fan of this place, it feels like it has taken the place of La Codesa as the interesting, upscale restaurant of choice in Austin (especially as La Condesa seems to have lost something). White Mole Chicken is awesome, sashimi and apps are also excellent. Very good cocktails as well. read more

Just okay.. Wasn't blown away by the food. Disappointed by the small portions that were overpriced.

Brand new spot with absolutely gorgeous interior. It's my new fav spot for upscale Mexican food. I highly recommend ordering the tuna tostada and the little Larry cocktail, which is a smokey change from a typical margarita. This place is a bit expensive, but great for a special occasion. read more

I have completely fallen in love with this place everything I have tried is delicious. I recommend this place to everybody you will not be disappointed read more

Really was looking forward to checking this place out however I didn't get a chance due to being told there were no tables available for the next 2 hours DESPITE the restaurant appearing to be half empty. Honestly me and my buddy felt discriminated against. read more

Very good place! I love the atmosphere of this place! One of us had the fish! The employees are really nice at ATX Cocina!

awesome night recently while sitting at the bar. Didn't want to wait for a table but there's lots of room and great sitting in the bar. Ordered a phenomenal margarita, Caesar salad (large enough for 2)and prawns. Friends had beers and chicken, short ribs. Everyone reported 5 stars. read more

Great atmosphere! Guacamole, tuna tostada and carne Asada were amazing! Definitely my go to place for Mexican food when I visit Austin! Cheers to Chef KT! read more

Britney took care of us the other night and I must say the service was phenomenal probably the best I've ever had in the city, her personality was second to none and her energy level was so great she gave up such good positive vibrations. Not to mention she is quite beautiful. The food was amazing and the restaurant itself is beautiful, we enjoyed every bit of it and would love to come back again to see Britney and enjoy the delicious cuisine at ATX Cocina read more

We stumbled into this place at 4:45 pm on a Saturday not knowing what to expect. We sat at the bar and were pleasantly surprised that they had happy hour. I had the spicy house margarita which was the best I've had. The guacamole was delicious. The tortilla chips are not traditional. Modern spin on the tortilla chips, but still delicious. We didn't love the salsa tasting (only one of the salsa was good) and it was served with soft blue tortillas instead of the chips which would have been easier for scooping and eating the salsa with. The Caesar salad (not on the happy hour menu) was so, so good. And the chicken Tinga tacos were perfect. All with a lovely view. We will be back when I'm Austin!! read more

First time here and definitely we will come back food AMAZING.. drinks AMAZING.. restaurant SUPER CLEAN .. bartenders VERY FRIENDLY.. what else you can ask came and try it you won't regret it :) read more

Delicious food, well educated staff and great cocktails! I had the pleasure of dining here their opening night and my friend and I were wowed- we had great service (thank you Brandon) and were immediately left speechless at the design of the concept and his knowledge of the menu and ingredients. The experience was memorable and relaxed, as if this restaurant has been open for years and it was only their opening night! If you are visiting or like myself have lived here in austin several years, this is something you need to experience asap! read more

Stopped by for a small birthday dinner. They have happy hour from 4:30-6:30 for drinks and some menu items. The waiter was super nice and made sure we had everything we needed throughout dinner. I would recommend getting the queso fondido and guacamole. And for dinner we ordered the 'el Jefe' and pork dinner. Make sure you are ready share. So amazing and sooo much food. Overall I had a great dinner, and I will definitely stop by again. read more

The food here is aMAZing! The flavors are fresh and leave you with such a clean palate. Their version of the pink Cadillac margarita is DELICIOUS!! Inside scoop - the off menu tacos are a tour de force. Fresh all the way through. Not to be missed!! The guac is fresh and their chips are non traditional and delicious. They bring in fresh produce from Mexico so this place is the real deal. The staff are so warm and friendly and inviting. Made us feel right at home. Attentive but in no way hovering. We're here for a conference for 4 days and we will likely revisit here before we head home. read more

Worth the splurge - everything was delicious (including the Brussel Sprouts and the Beets!). Waiter was very helpful managing the timing of food and how much to order for our group of 6 since we were sharing dishes. read more

If there is a restaurant to avoid in Austin, this would be the one! AVOID this place!! An incredibly disappointing experience with rude and unprofessional staff! I have never been to a restaurant where 2 managers (Matt and a female) working on Friday 6/4 is unable to properly explain, admit and diffuse a situation. Why were they hired?!?! to manage this place. Our entire table was appalled at their responses. They did not care and basically said, "so what if your food still isn't here after 2 hours of waiting!"When we asked the server, she was clueless and then said "I'm sorry but I'm not allowed to speak with the kitchen!" rEALLY, then who is!!!! when we asked why we had sat and ordered since 8pm and our food have not arrived and it was 10pm by the time someone even came by to ask how we were doing not even an appetizer has arrived. As managers if you see that the kitchen is running behind, maybe best to approached the group and let them know. Perhaps offer bread, or chips so your patrons aren't starving. We looked at every other table that did get their food and have left the restaurant even though they came in after us. Such as terrible experience, most of all the customer service was incredibly aggravating, sub par and just felt like they were being racist against us. I had to let the hotel know to never send anyone else there. these managers and staff should be fired. read more

Truly excellent food with an entirely gluten free kitchen. Decor and atmosphere is great, giving the restaurant a refined, fun feel. Our party was very pleased overall, but felt that the service wasn't on par with the kitchen. read more

Went for lunch on a Friday (only open on firsays for lunch) while in town and loved the food. It's crazy, but the salad was the biggest hit at the table! Everything was so delicious. We were sites in the outdoor patio which was very quiet with nobody there. The front room is really nice though. Would have preferred that. read more
