Loved everything we had here! Someone recommended that we try Quincho while we're in Fredericksburg for the weekend and I'm so glad the did! All of the staff that we spoke with were super friendly and very knowledgeable about everything they make. Now, the food.... The food is no doubt what makes this place so special, and I wanted to try as much of it as possible! We started with the empanada, it's big enough to share and it was amazing! In fact, every single item that we ordered was mouth-wateringly good, so I'm just going to list everything we ordered-you can't go wrong ordering any of these! Drinks: I got a margarita, my boyfriend got the Gringoni and the Monte Casino. We loved all of them! Food: empanada, trio of croquettes, pate (omg my personal fave), grilled oysters with bonito flakes, roasted bone marrow, the pulpo, and then for our main we got the cabrito, which was so tender and delicious! It fell off the bone and was in this amazing sauce with mushrooms and onions, on top of smashed potatoes. I want to eat that again and again! For dessert, we tried the goat cheese ice cream, which surprised us both with how good it was! So many more things of the menu that I want to go back and try! Definitely recommend checking this place out and ordering anything I've listed above! read more

As always, Impressed with the unique and exquisite food, decor and great staff. One of our favorites by far in Texas. You cannot find food that is so meticulously done, it's delicious and it all looks like art work. We all know our eyes eat first. Date Night with Tapas: We started out with the following: Drinks, Sangria and Pan De Flor and I went to the Pan De Flor right after as it was a great tequila drink. - Smoke salmon potato rösti, herbed crème fraîche (1) was enough and split together croquettas (3) - jamón, potato, bechamel turkey, sweet potato, cornbread squid ink, calamari, shrimp- All very tasty! - fish carpaccio, saffron ponzu, lemon caviar Mahi sliced sushi thin, marinated in ponzu and lemon caviar: it looked like a piece of Art, just beautiful and taste as good it looked. - charred pulpo a la gallega, one of my favorites, the octopus was so tender and tasty - dos grilled oyster, miso butter & bonito: fresh, hot and excellent - dos Spanish scallops, mint chutney: to die for, the mint chutney was just perfect. - smashed potato enchanted wild mushrooms, cipollini onions: Couldn't help myself, wanted to try and it did not disappoint. The smashed went well with my husband's cabrito de montaña, which he said was tender and so delicious. Dessert-Oaxacan dark chocolate pit de creme: Fresh and creamy and the citrus Chantilly was perfect Tyler and Sean, excellent service and drinks. Alex, above and beyond as always with service , Thank you Scott (may have this wrong) a new chef also excellent Max and Marisa, Thank you for the consistent good food that is so beautiful and tasty. The articulate ambience that makes you feel at home (on an upper scale) and welcome. Your visions are awesome and the work shows it. read more

There is truly nothing else like El Quincho in Fredericksburg, and honestly, not within an hour's drive. The food and service are on a completely different level, what you would expect from Austin or Houston, not a small Hill Country town. The flavors are bold and clearly curated for people who genuinely care about great food. The service is just as strong, and the bar program is easily one of the best around. You can tell the owners care deeply about what they're doing, and it shows in every single plate that hits the table. Whenever I have friends coming into town to visit the Hill Country, I always bring them to El Quincho because I know it will impress. read more

Every flavor was amazing. We had 6 different plates and some cocktails. The squash blossom was perfection. The rib eye was to die for but forgot to grab a pic. A special place for Fred read more

Ambiance Simply wonderful when the weather is nice, No indoor seating that we saw. Tables under trees, or under patio cover. Service Excellent, we had a very attentive young man who helped us understand the unknown items on the menu. Food Small small portions, I know it's an American criticism but it's true. There was a 3" piece of toast with puréed tomato, sliver of prosciutto and a teeny sprig of basil for $9.00. We really liked the Argentinian empanadas.... Much larger but also 9.00, the flavor was tremendous! The bread they served was truly amazing but I guess it's only served with a full meal, we got it with the cabrito. That may have been better had it not been swimming in a very rich sauce, everything was saturated with it, the teeny onions, mushrooms and smashed potatoes. There were some other items on the menu that we may go back some day to try. But if you have a hearty appetite unless they bring more bread it won't satisfy entirely. read more

WOW is all I can say. An Argentinian tapas and grill located in tiny Fredericksburg. We live 18 miles from Main Street and had never heard of it. Mainly, most likely, is because it is located in a pretty industrial/commercial area (kind of across from the Fred Stockyards. But boy is it worth seeking out, You won't just stumble upon it. Dining is Al Fresco, and is located at the rear of the restaurant. I understand they do catering as well. They have an excellent selection of tapas and grilled meats. The portions are a littl small compared to other tapas restaurants we have visited, but the quality of the food is fantastic. I had scallops that were served on a scallop shell, a chorizo dish, and octopus. Probably the most tender I have ever had. And their empanadas are some of the best also, served with a chimichurri sauce. A vey imaginative drinks menu, but the wine menu is probably the best I have seen in Fred and maybe many other places as well. I think I heard Marisa, one of the owners, say she worked in the wine industry many years, so an extremely well curated wine list. They even had a Spanish wine from the Godello grape, only second time seeing that on a menu in the US. They even have a very nice selection of beers. I had an ale from Japan and it was superb. My one drawback about teh restaurant, since seating is outside, is that in the heat of the summer it may not be comfortable outside due to the heat. Otherwise I think it will be our new go to restaurant in Fred. read more

Unique and delicious small plates. Al fresco environment has a great Latin American vibe and was very pleasant on a beautiful March evening.

Nailed everything! Service, ambiance, food were all stellar! Couldnt recommend more highly.

We loved this restaurant! It has a charming outdoor setting, great service and above all fabulous food. We really enjoyed sharing the Tapas and the menu was extensive. It is off the beaten path of Fredericksburg's usual restaurant experience but don't let that deter you! It looks like you are going to a warehouse but it is a beautiful setting in a quiet area. read more

We went last Saturday evening for cocktails, tapas and parilla. Some of the best food I've ever had - everything was spot on, including the service which was friendly and prompt without being hurried. We don't eat outside much but we ended up spending most of the evening there because the atmosphere was so relaxing. Cocktails were unique and tasty. There were seven of us and we ended up trying almost half of the menu. My favorites were the croquetas and the scallops. Didn't have the cabrito but it looked fantastic, going to get it next time. Can't wait to back! read more

So happy we found El Quincho in Fredericksburg. The flavors are bold, the meats and seafood are perfectly grilled, and the vibe is warm and welcoming. The tapas menu was perfect for sharing while being able to taste many dishes off the menu. A total treat from start to finish and such a unique experience! read more
