This used to be an Austin treasure! It's sad to see other locations close, but I'm glad this one is still holding on. Guys, it's not about the food! Smh! Well the chips and salsa or queso still hit but the reason to come is for the margs! The purple is still iconic and immediately reminds me of past bad decisions lol! The earth with a touch of midori or the Mexican martini with extra olives... this is why you come to baby A's! read more

The prizes were outstanding? Love their queso and the chicken tortilla soup is out of this world!!! I will definitely go again!!

Baby's A is always a good time and this location is no excpetion. I used to frequent the Barton Springs location (RIP) but now live closer up North so decided to come here for dinner with some friends. We ordered a queso to share (not the best queso in town but it gets the job done) and I opted for the cheese enchiladas. The portion was big and absolutely delicious. Surprisingly, I had never had their purple marg as I really dislike grapes but decided to give it a shot. It was actually super tasty and tasted nothing like grape! Don't let that grape flave scare you way if you're wanting to try it! The server was also very attentive and super patient with us when we took some time to order. read more

Sweet surprise to have this gem. Friends and I had food and drinks here and shout out to our server Roger who was very attentive and made sure our table was attended to. Best mango margarita I had! [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can choose indoors and outdoors but it was hot and the indoors felt like outdoors without the heat since we were sat next to a window with huge tree![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friends had the purple drink and hit the spot for her ;). The food: we had pastor bowl, fish tacos, and shrimp bowl with avocado and free chips and salsa. Fresh and yummy. Mind you, I'm picky with food! They do have military discount!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Recommended chill place for family and friends!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm always shocked at how this location can stay in business cause it's always empty, but the nearby hotels must keep be in business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] With that said, I've actually gone there when a friend was staying nextdoor and while the food is nothing spectacular, they always pour the strongest drinks (i guess that's a good thing when you can walk to your hotel room) read more

Service was good. Taco, flauta and chalupa all had a stale taste. Chips and salsa were made fresh or at least My third visit and I will say I doubt I'll be back. First visit food wasn't that great, second visit service was terrible, and this time food was a disappointment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place where I sat was clean, patio looks worn down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately the other reviews are true as they come. I don't drink so I cannot speak to the alcoholic beverages. Hopefully they read the reviews and make some changes. Perfect location they have but got some work to do. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Baby A's is a fun spot for hanging out with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been a few times because their margaritas are super popular. They are known for their really strong purple margs. The purple marg was fun to try but it just tastes like a normal margarita. I prefer the mango margarita because its slightly sweeter and really tasty. Last time I went, I got the enchiladas. They let me do one chicken and one veggie which was really nice of the staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a spot with a fun vibe Baby A's is a great place to go with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Come on Baby A's get your act together. My bowling team is a regular here just because if location and you have some fan favorites. But you're losing it.... Service- extremely inconsistent Food- OMG sometimes it tastes like you are eating out of the Dead Sea it is sooooo salty. When it's good- fan favorites are taco salad. That crispy tortilla bowl is a real treat Puffy tacos- most of the time these are perfection. Sometime the chicken is over cooked and mushy- watch that One of our folks likes your tortilla soup- this is where the Dead Sea comment comes from. He's the only one who can eat it due to the saltiness and yesterday was way too salty he could barely choke it down. Hate to see another one of your restaurants bite the dust... but you are on your way. Get your service up to snuff and your food consistent. Watch that salt! read more

Our group had a wide variety of margaritas and enjoyed them all. The biggest hit were the two flights: Celebrity and Tropical. With each, four different small margaritas are presented. The mixed fajitas were great, well-grilled with a terrific amount of lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream on the side. However, we only received two tortillas. Seriously? The chicken enchiladas were tender, and the verde sauce, flavorful. The charro beans were standard beans and fine. Finally, let's discuss the chips and salsa. Baby A's has great chips and they were delivered warm. A+! And the salsa had a good after burn. We were there on a slow night, so we had decent service. read more

Came back to Austin and my wife really wanted tortilla soup. She remembers the best at Baby A's. We went to the one off mopac. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is run down from the outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server was very busy and could not take care of us. Food came out wrong. Drinks not refilled. We have marked this as a place not to visit anymore. What was once was, is not. read more

Baby Acapulco is a great spot to just chill and catch up. It's clean and really spacious. It sort of has a cabana feel despite being off a main road across from a movie theater. Good place for a casual date of a movie and dinner now that I think about it. I've been here as part of a couple and once with a party of 6. Service has been absolutely on top of things every single time I go. The drinks are great. I always suggest Baby As when I get the random summertime craving for a Dos-a-Rita with friends. The frozen cocktail selection is amazing. No one has had any complaints. There's plenty of seating outdoors, indoors, and at the bar so bring all your people. The food is just fine. It's solid TexMex that isn't great, but has yet to disappoint. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. Carmen is hands down one of the best waitresses ive ever had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sitting outside is always a great time, especially when a band is playing live.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is about what you'd expect, but the drinks are what you come for. The purple margarita is an absolute staple. I used to go here every week and so should you. read more

This is exactly what you expect when you see the place. Good frozen drinks and good food, nothing fancy, [[HIGHLIGHT]]lots of TVs, live music some nights.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would come back. Good friendly service. read more

Baby Acapulco - Purple Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

I went to Baby Acapulco recently with my mother and some very old friends of the family... we hadn't seen each other in decades. Entering the place is setup to have some breezy areas outside and air conditioned areas inside. We opted for the inside area this time because it was pretty darned hot out. I am not usually a drinker, but this time I got a margarita, as everyone else was having a drink as well. Peer pressure yay! The margarita was nice, but it is definitely not something that I would go for every time. For the main meal, I opted for the burrito, and it was tasty. Frankly it was pretty standard Tex-Mex fare that you can find at any Tex-Mex place across the country, but it wasn't bad. Just... average. This was at a time of the week where things were just not that busy, so we were able to talk and catch up on life over our meal. We enjoyed it. Would I go back? If the stars aligned in the right way, sure... but I feel that there are places in the area that are just as good and I would rather explore them than go to the same place over and over again. read more

I always loved baby as. not today. they charged me my drinks and they guy sitting next to me drinks and food. the bartender could not speak english. my bill was inflated and i could not do anything about it because they could not speak engilish. i did not sign the bill and walked out. how can you do business with people who do not speak engilsh and who charge you for other peoples drinks? such bs i will not be visiting this establishment again. read more

The purple margarita and the coconut margarita do me right every time. I have been here a few times however and I would say that they are a little inconsistent. While the drinks are constantly amazing, the food is not. The first time I ordered the chicken tortilla soup, I was amazed. I wanted to come back for it every day. However, the second time I visited...it tasted like toilet water. It was absolutely terrible and it would make you believe they shouldn't be a restaurant. read more

Have thought this location to be closed and stumbled upon it tonight. Was open. Tried it out. Had beef fajita's. The meat was excellent and not grisly like some other places! Had corn tortillas. Service was outstanding. They have a team approach to serving the table and it worked well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]TV's in the bar area. Typical decor[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Manager brought the food and checked on us a couple of times. I like their jalapeno ranch. Would add butter as I like to finish with a tortilla and butter. Will return. read more

The food didn't taste that good the waitress couldn't get things right [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside to hear the band that may have been the only thing nice about the place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First time there. Very rustic feel. Service was great! Never an empty glass! Happy hour-get the queso. Next time I'll get a side of flour tortillas. I had the taco place and another guest had the baby chimanga(?). Prices so reasonable. Will be back when not so hot outside for live music! read more

The service wasn't the best from the bartender, but the food was delicious. Very delicious carnitas tacos. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The scenery did not disappoint[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but when it came to checking out the bills were off. I'm a sucker when it comes to numbers so I definitely take notice. I left without adding gratuity only simply because with the bill there was an up charge of some sort to where the gratuity was already included. Unfortunately I love to tip well, and this was a disappointment. But other than that I would definitely love to go back, because that food was not too shabby. read more

John is the most amazing and attentive server in Austin. We literally come to Baby A's for John and strong margaritas, if it wasn't for John I'm not sure it would be worth coming every week. So go to Baby A's Stonelake and sit with John and tell him I sent you. read more

Love me some Baby A's! Recently held a social hour for 75 classmates. The team there was great to work with at every turn. Friendly, accommodating, yummy food, and drinks! Our server, Adriana was a trooper and handled our large group with a smile along with the rest of the staff and management. Asst Manager, Carolyn was the best! A true Austin original! read more

Baby Acapulco - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

As of today this will be my last time visiting this place.. Customer service has completely gone down hill. I have been coming here for at least 10 years. This year the turn over rate has been very noticeable especially at the bar. I was coming here mostly everyday after work but that has come to a complete stop today. Word to the wise when you or should i say your bartender comes to work with an attitude and treats people like they could be doing something better with their time then taking care of the customer, that's the first sign that maybe a change of venue is needed. When I come in and sit myself at the bar 10 minutes before the next customers sit themselves I expect to be serviced first, not when you feel like serving me. If you feel like throwing the napkin and the straw on the bar just remember I'm not your dog or someone that you dislike.... I'm am a paying customer... Although my business will not be missed I'm pretty sure you will manage to run off some other customers...By the way I'm not the only regular who has experience these episodes. When I bring this to the attention of management I would normally expect some kind of professional response but that was not the case in this situation.. I'm a customer experience manager for a pretty large corporation and If i were to ever hear of or see any team member treating a customer in this manner, we would have a very long talk that would probably end in termination. To my understanding this very employee has had complaints before but the employee is still there. read more

Baby ain't so bad. A welcoming, large, Cantina style Mexican restaurant in the hotel and shopping district of Domain. The outdoor deck/patio is large and well shaded. The service is efficient and friendly. The music can be a bit tacky (e.g., Boyz to Men) though it adds to the informal vibe. The food is average--not bad but nothing to write home about. I had the grilled Acupulco Fish Tacos (fried is another option). Good blackened flavor, just not exceptionally fresh or high quality ingrediants. The house salsa was smooth while standard and not entirely memorable. If you're looking for an informal atmosphere with plenty of seating, Acupulco may speak baby talk to you. read more

We feel bad that one of our go to restaurants has gone down hill. We will probably not be going there any more...at least for a while. Terrible customer service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can tell by the small number of people eating there that we are not alone in our opinion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are new, not very good waiters every week. The good ones come and leave. Very sad that this restaurant we once enjoyed so much is no longer worth going to. read more

We had a yelp perk to go to at the theater nearby, so we decided to try Baby A's out. They do have their own parking lot and the place itself has a lot of room. There is a bar, plenty of seating, TVs & outdoor seating as well. You will be greeted by a host then be seated. Our server was Cesar and he made the experience all the better with his personality and jokes. I add a star just for a server being great at their job and making me laugh. I was interested in trying a margarita but noticed they looked like they're all frozen but there are a few that come on the rocks. He was nice enough to have us try their famous purple margarita to which is said to be the strongest there. I asked him which are on the rocks then he mentioned a watermelon one and stopped him there. lol The watermelon margarita on the rocks was so delicious and you can taste bits of watermelon too . They give you some chips & salsa that are good. I ordered flautas plate & hubby ordered beef enchiladas. They were good but nothing to rave about and I was expecting at least four of them but got three flautas with rice and beans. The enchiladas were two of them. I would return for some margaritas and maybe if i'm in the area Ill order some food. Its great for big groups & having a drink. read more

Well I was with my family and we were on a timed schedule because we had to be home to get my brother off the bus . Our waitresses name was Patricia . Patricia had gave us chips and salsa we asked for cheese we got the cheese the waitress knew we needed more chips so we had to flag somebody else down to get more chips we waited a good 7 minutes for the chips ( my family hates cold and hard cheese and what we're paying 9 bucks for a cold cheese ) . As my mom was looking for our waitress to take our order she saw the people in the kitchen just goofing off . Now we're waiting on our food it's been a good 20 minutes wait . She didn't even come to ask us if we wanted refills on our drink . But yet we had seen everyone else in their getting refills more chips their food all that. read more

Baby Acapulco - a bowl of soup with a spoon - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Mediocre Mexican food at a high price point but good atmosphere on outside patio. I would pick a different restaurant next time.

Good place to unwind after a long day of work. Today, the owner ( female) was there, and if she is there, when I go, I will walk back out. She is not polite at all.. I've been here several times it's our local spot to hang. After serifin left, it has not been the same. I support local because I'm born and raised here, but to finally meet this, the owner cleared it all up. The owner ( lady) needs better manners... read more

Omar was a great server to our party of 9. he was very attentive. everyone enjoyed their food.

I came here for the first time recently and the food is just not good. I really liked the fun twinkly lights, neon signs, and outdoor patio - this would be a great place to have drinks and chips/salsa and that's it. We ordered the queso appetizer and it was plain processed velveeta cheese. My partner had the chilli relleno and I had the mushroom enchiladas and they were both meh. C- for Tex Mex in Austin. read more

Service is bad. They aren't up front about their to go alcohol policy. But at least I didn't have to spend extra on a tip. Edit: order To go was also incorrect and missing items. Imagine that. Needs better waitstaff and management. Won't be back. read more

No remake .no effort . I pushed it across the bar because I am not drinking that . I'm sure it will be on my bill . read more

So glad to stumble across this Tex-Mex spot! The food was super yummy as well as the drinks. The vibes of this place is very casual and you can tell that this is where locals like to hangout. While it was too hot out when stopping by to enjoy the patio seating, I can't wait to come back when the weather gets cooler to sit with the oak trees and the lighting. When it comes to the food, the salsas were great. The red and green each packed a punch with heat, but not enough to keep you from coming back from more and it's a delayed type of heat which is nice! The queso was tasty as was the Famous Baby A's soup. The pastor tacos were also super yummy! And the Superman margarita was great as well, without being overwhelmingly strong! Our server Francisco was also very attentive and deserves a big kudos! read more
