3.75 My husband and I decided to go to Waterloo Ice House for Breakfast. We drove up, parked in…read morethe parking lot and walked in. We were seated quickly. The waitress eventually came. She was very friendly and did a good job. She gave us menus, took our drink order and then gave us time to look over the menu. When she returned we placed our order. My husband and I ordered the Nachos Grande to share. They are tortilla chips with beans, cheese, tomatoes, jalapenos, sour cream and salsa. We ordered ours with chicken. My husband didn't mind them but I thought that they were a little bit of a disappointment. They were smothered in cheese. There wasn't very much chicken in there and the chips were stale. Next I ordered a short stack of Buttermilk Pancakes which came with a small serving of butter and syrup on the side. My husband ordered the a short stack of Blueberry Pancakes. The only difference was that his came with fresh blueberries on top. The pancakes were thick, and filling. I enjoyed combining them with the other parts of my meal. My husband also enjoyed his pancakes. My husband and I also ordered breakfast tacos. We both ordered the Classic Breakfast Taco which comes with eggs, bacon, tator tots, and cheese. We both ordered our tacos without cheese. They came with salsa choices. I tried the red salsa and the green salsa. Both salsas were good. I preferred the green salsa and my husband preferred the red salsa. The combined ingredients made for a delicious taco. During our meal the waitress brought me a Migas Breakfast Taco which comes with eggs, tomato, crushed tortilla chips, onions, and jalapenos. This was a mistake because I actually ordered the Waterloo Migas which comes with eggs, tomatoes, onions. cheese, tortilla chips, jalapenos, a side of refried beans and a flour tortilla. Long story short. I mentioned the mistake. They put an order in for the Migas and eventually brought them out to me. They also said that I could keep the taco and removed it from the bill. Honestly the Migas Taco was better than the Waterloo Migas. The taco had more crushed tortilla chips than the actual Migas. Both were covered in way too much cheese with a plentiful amount of eggs. The refried beans were okay. They were saltier than I was expecting but they added flavor to the Migas. The flour tortilla was good. I ordered my Migas with Bacon. The bacon was okay. It had a lot of fat on it but it was crispy which is what I prefer. Overall the restaurant had plenty of seating, the service was good, and the food was just okay.

It was very off putting but I was hungry so I decided to deal with it. I was greeted pretty fast after I was sat. Breakfast is served until 3pm. I ordered the Las Guisadas Migas breakfast plate. A chorizo, egg and cheese taco and a Diet Coke. Unfortunately I took most of my food home after filling up on chips and salsa before I got my food. The food was really good. 9/10. Everything was seasoned perfectly. I would have liked more beef in the guisada but the migas made up for that. The chorizo was prefect. Really good food. I'll be back!

I've been a regular at Jacalito for a while. It's always my go to Mexican food place in Austin, and…read morein my opinion is an undiscovered gem. It's authentic, relaxed and great food. Excellent service too. We've had almost every dish and all are excellent. True comfort food and among the best real Mexican food in Austin, without all the hype or pretense. If you're looking for the real deal, this is it. And trust me, I've eaten at almost every Mexican restaurant in austin over the last 30 years, both old and new. My personal favorite is the homemade guacamole, queso and the verde chicken enchiladas. But everything is amazing, including the barbacoa plate, carne guisada, and fajitas. Bonus if you love margaritas because this place has a whole range of tequilas and their house frozen is just right - not that sugary confection at other places. Go!

Plenty of space open here…read more I had mediocre expectations of breakfast at an ice house, and I'd say the experience about matched what I expected. Our server was not the most friendly and was forgetful, never bringing hot sauce that was requested. The scramble was fine, but a little bland and a bit overloaded with the tortilla strips. The accompanying salsa was not very fresh. The cinnamon nut pancake was really good though. Sweet, hot, and hit the spot. My friend's omelette looked sad and said the cheese tasted like those fake squares. So... come here for beer but if you decide to have breakfast at this place, just set your expectations accordingly.

The concept has a lot of potential, but the menu feels like it's trying too hard and missing the mark. Also, please latch and secure the playground.

As of now, I'm missing NXNW in this space.

Outside there's a cute playground, gated, for the younger kiddos. Perfect for those who want to keep the kids occupied but also enjoy a snacky snack and a drink. There are plenty of gluten free options, and we ended up getting the Yardbird Chicken Sandwich on a gluten free bun, a complimentary Reuben sandwich on a gluten free bun, fish and chips, and a burger for the kiddo. All of them were great! Hubby enjoyed the fish and chips and the spray bottle with malt vinegar! Such a fun touch, nice and crispy, and the chips were crunchy and delicious. I actually really liked my chicken sandwich. While it looks standard, it was such a good bite, super filling, and since gluten free, I got a side salad which was nice and simple and light. The Reuben was GREAT! I was so excited I could have it since on a gluten free bun. The corned beef wasn't super greasy or heavy or too salty which I really appreciated, and the aioli was great to balance out all other parts of the sandwich. The slaw, pickles, everything were all so good, and definitely worth getting in the future! And our kiddo demolished the burger in a heartbeat! Add some great service - super kind, funny, and made me feel so safe eating there with an allergy. He was great, and even though he was busy, he did such a great job coming and checking in! We also had a pint of Lazarus Rice Lager which has been treated and is consumable for those with a gluten allergy (not Celiac)! I love Lazarus beers so much, especially this rice lager! So light and perfect on a hot day! We would definitely come back any time! Defintely worth the stop!

In reality, it was a masterclass in how to make a restaurant feel busy while somehow being empty. The wait times were absurd, especially considering there weren't people there, which made the whole experience feel less like dining out and more like being held hostage by a very slow clock. The seafood was not good. Not "not my favorite," not "a little off" -- just plain not good. The menu was also bizarre in a way that felt less creative and more like someone lost a bet and had to build a restaurant around the leftovers. And if you're looking for anything dairy-free or gluten-free, good luck. The options are basically "no" with a side of disappointment. It is not family friendly at all, with no options for children. This is more the kind of place where you start questioning your choices before the appetizers even arrive.
