We came here for dinner tonight and were seated immediately and without a reservation. We sat indoors as it is June in Texas, although when the weather is cooler I could see the outdoor seating being nice. The food was solid, and reasonably priced. I did like my quesadilla as well as the tostada atun appetizer. My fiancé enjoyed her dinner as well.

We just had lunch at Esther's after striking out with parking at our first couple restaurant choices right down Main St - we couldn't believe our luck when Esther's had a completely empty parking lot and the OPEN sign still flashing in the window. We almost thought twice about eating there since it was totally empty while everywhere just a block or two away was packed, but I'm so glad we gave it a shot. The decor is so adorable and well done (including a very cute and spacious outdoor area with plenty of fans blowing), the service was quick and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious, right down to the chicken tenders and fries the kids ordered. We have definitely found our new go-to spot in Buda!

Got the chili rilleno. My friend got the taquitos. We also ordered queso. Taquitos and chili rellenos were good. Queso could have included a few more ingredients; as a California native, this was reminiscent of nacho cheese only with cheese on the side. Friend said that there should have been more ingredients in the cheese to make it more legit queso experience. Other than that, real cute decor.

Well....... This was a pleasant surprise to see such a quaint spot just on the outskirts of downtown Buds. Which is about 3 blocks long if you have never been there. The food was really good and the atmosphere was excellent. The service was very prompt and the staff was fantastic. If you are near the downtown area, please stop in! It's a fun spot in town with plenty of seating, parking and of course, extra large to go cups of tea!

This place has some interesting decor and a seat your self type atmosphere. Our waitress was nice, although not attentive. We sat there with no drink refills the entire time, ran out of chips that we had to ask when our food arrived (10min after running out) to be refilled. My husband got the carls combo or something like that. He had to ask for his taco since it didn't come out with his food. The waitress left and then came back and asked what kind of taco...we had already had a conversation over what he wanted on it while ordering and that it was a crispy beef taco. He asked for meat, cheese, and sour cream only. It came with only meat and cheese, and we were charged $1 for the sour cream that wasn't on it. His taco meat was cold and dry - tasted old and reheated, and the enchiladas had almost no sauce so they were falling apart while trying to eat them. I ordered the cheese chili relleno. It was so greasy and bland. Part of it was burnt and you could taste it, but it wasn't crispy anywhere so it leads me to think that it was something floating in the fryer that attached to it. The rice was crispy and under cooked with no flavor. The beans were sitting in grease (see picture) but had no flavor either. I ordered a side of sour cream for it, and it had guacamole at the bottom of the cup...avocados are a severe allergy for some people so be cautious - seems like they aren't keeping the line or the tools clean if there is cross contamination. The salsa is overwhelming with cilantro, you can't taste anything else in it. The queso was ok, but mainly just cheese - nothing to write home about. Tortillas are not homemade. As we were leaving we noticed trays upon trays of margarita glasses PRE-SALTED! They aren't that busy so you know those aren't going to be used tonight. How long are those sitting there, pre salted getting dust in the glass? Hard pass on the margaritas simply because of that! With so many other texmex places in Kyle and Buda, don't waste your time or money here.

Ceviche, cheese enchilada, mangonato margarita

Me and my partner were just visiting because a friend was hosting an open mic nearby. We were drawn in by the colorful decor, but the front is undergoing some sort of maintenance because there was a whole section of the porch cordoned off. Once inside we were immediately served chips and salsa, which in my opinion need serious work like much of the menu, including the worn menus themselves and possibly wherever they are sourcing their ingredients. I ordered the Big Carls plate which came with your choice of a soft or hard taco, served with 2 beef enchiladas, rice, beans and guacamole. The guacamole was the only thing I would give some leeway to say was decent. My partner ordered a margarita, ceviche and a cheese enchilada. According to her everything tasted store bought, but I personally felt like that was giving it too much credit. The staff was very nice and attentive so if I gave credit to the one star anywhere that's what it would be for. The food is pictured. I don't feel like it's worth visiting if you want a nice eating experience but I'm sure once it starts getting late and the dive bar aspect of it kicks in then it isn't as bad if that's your scene. Not my cup of tea though. They should get fresher ingredients. Take some baby steps to improve like having actual hot sauce bottles, providing some form of cutlery and perhaps revamping the way certain dishes are prepared because the ceviche especially was surprisingly basic. I try not to be too harsh, but this was genuinely one of the least enjoyable experiences I've ever had food wise at a restaurant. Like sometimes you see a hole in the wall joint and think "wow that place must slap" but this unfortunately did not turn out to be one of those places. Oh and lastly, investing in a water filter would help as well because that water earned my "toilet water" award. Super gross.

WARNING Absolutely do not go to this restaurant! The outside is extremely appealing. Very chic, nice patio lights and seating until you walk inside. There is an abundance of seating and cute photo ops areas but the rest of the restaurant seems to have been forgotten about. It took awhile for a server to come and greet us to take our drink order and when she did she only took one of our orders and forgot about the other . Also the drink, food and brunch menu are on three different QR code's. 20 mins later after receiving the first drink, which tasted like too much sweet and sour poured over cheap tequila, we finally was able to order our food. At this point we are done with the poor service and ordered the ceviche to share and leave. It was good in theory but not executed correctly, I can tell they wanted it to be contemporary but the presentation was an epic fail. It tasted good once you swam through 75% guacamole. So we decide to use the restroom (see picture below) and it was HORRIFIC!! If you are into horrible service, half put together thoughts, nasty bathrooms and just a bad experience this place is for you!!

Ate an early dinner at 5 pm. Service was outstanding. Have both indoor and outdoor seating with a nice relaxing atmosphere. We had fajitas and coconut shrimp with a queso appetizer and one margarita for less than $ 40. The coconut shrimp and coconut margarita were outstanding, the fajitas had an excellent flavor but were a little tough and cut into too large of pieces. Hard to keep from them pulling out of the taco when you bit into it. The queso tastes great but was a bit too watery to stay on the chips from the bowl to your mouth. Real plates, paper napkins and metal utensils. I would recommend and will be back.

My order was missing a complete meal for my diabetic daughter and when I called to explain this the representative on the phone who answered the phone was very rude and hung up on me. I called back right away and again, she was horrible to me. Telling me did I want to come pick up the "Big Carl" order that THEY forgot. No I do NOT want to come pick up an order that I was charged for. This is not acceptable for me, as it took me over 30 mins to get an order that was quoted to be ready in 15 mins. I do NOT recommend this place to anyone. The person who answered the phone acted as if it was my fault. Horrible customer service and at these times. you would think they would try to make the customer happy. Never again will I go to this establishment, as this is NOT the first time this has happened. I live in Buda and want to spend my money in Buda. This is one of the place I will not. read more

Worst service ever. The owner is extremely rude to customers. I saw her act so rudely with someone running food deliveries. She acts like we are worthless even tho we gave her business. The rest of the employees were overall nice. Very helpful. But I asked the delivery runner about her, she confirmed that this owner has always been so rude.

Went here for late lunch on a Saturday. Waitress was very nice, but my husband and I were one of 3 other tables there (we sat on the patio and the others were inside) and service was slow. Rather slow. Queso appetizer took awhile and then meals came shortly after. Queso was nice, complimentary salsa was more like watery canned sauce. My chimichanga was soft like a burrito, and i doubt fried, but the chicken inside was very well seasoned. "Spicy" ranchero sauce I had on the top (after being told they don't have suiza, contrary to the menu) was more like marinara that had never seen any peppers. Rice and beans were okay. Hubby's steak fajita meat was smoked and seasoned soooo well, fell apart in your mouth beautifully. Rest of it was okay. Theres nothing necessarily wrong with the food, but it also isn't good enough to go back for. Mixed cocktail was very heavy with tequila, but a good price ($6). The peach and prickly pear margaritas on the rocks were fabulous, though, and only $4! Overall it was decently priced food that satisfied a tex-mex craving and allowed us to bring our dog to the quaint patio. Might go back for margaritas if we want to have the dog on a patio, but if it's just us humans we will go somewhere with more impressionable food. read more

The food was fine. Standard Tex Mex. The side of charro beans was tiny served in a tiny little bowl...maybe 2 spoon fulls of beans. No big deal but unusual. This is a family owned place and staffed by family members. I say this to try to excuse the miserable level of service. Verrryyyy slow drink service. I decided not to bother asking for tortillas knowing I would be done with my meal before they arrived. My son asked for chicken fajitas but got beef. He elected to just eat what he got rather than risk the time to get it corrected. Probably won't go back. They weren't busy so can't really explain the lack of service other than to say some training is in order. read more

We just ate at Super Slicks. We eat here a lot and have always loved the food and service. I am disappointed to say that I bit into a screw in my refried beans. I was gracious about it. Even tipped the waitress bc it was not her fault. But....all we got was an "I'm sorry". They didn't comp my meal. Didn't offer to make it right. That is the right thing to do in budiness. Especially since we didn't make a scene; and believe me, my husband was getting ready to. I called him down. No Bueno. I'm disappointed about that at how they handled this. The 1 star is for the way they handled this incident. read more

This was our fist time going to super slicks. The location was cute but the customer service and food was not good. They were totally understaffed causing there to be a huge delay to be waited on and to get any water to start. Then the food came out and it wasn't very good. The queso was extremely watery and the entrees did not taste good at all. Not only that, but they brought out the wrong food and the drinks were way too strong with no flavor. After bringing out the wrong food and having us wait even longer so they could recook everything, we were still held to paying full price for the entrees. I won't be going back. read more

A group of us went into Super Slicks and placed an order to go. The guy who helped us was great! He was very personable and friendly. He asked us if we wanted chips and salsa while we waited, we replied "Yes" The owner came up while he was serving us the chips and salsa and got all over his case (In front of us) for giving us chips and salsa while we waited. We spent at least $80 between the four of us and didn't see what the big deal was about him giving us the chips and salsa. She never greeted us, and as we were leaving we all said "Thank you" she never said a word to us, and gave us a dirty look as we walked out. She was very rude and I will not go back. This is not how you treat your staff especially correcting your employees in front of customers and this is definitely not how you treat someone coming into your small business trying to support you. read more

With so many other options in the area, I'm not sure how this place is still open. The drinks are okay but the food is awful. I have been a couple of times just to give it a chance but each thing I have tried is not very good. When I don't know what I want, I usually go for the classic quesadilla option. These were the worse quesadillas I've ever had. It tasted like melted velveeta cheese or craft singles in between tortillas. I got a side of tortilla soup that same visit and it had a lot of chicken in it but was very bland. read more

Delicious food and drinks! We went here after a long day of floating on the river and at about 6 PM on a Tuesday we were the only people here. We sat outside on the patio, my only complaint is that the umbrella was broken so the sun was pretty brutal. The free chips and salsa were great, nothing unique, the portions were large, and the drinks were strong. I got the veggie quesadilla, filled with shrooms and spinach and melty cheese. I can't speak for the rest of Buda, but I would guess this is the best restaurant around. read more

Chavelos

Excellent food and service! I was in Buda visiting family…read more They were raving about Chavelos. They dine there twice a week. I had breakfast tacos with egg, cheese, and avocado with a side of breakfast potatoes. Our server, Aly, was so friendly and attentive. The salsas were hot! But with different levels of heat. The whole experience was great and will definitely return when visiting again.

The back is the front and the front is the back here…read more You drive by the street address, and the restaurant is not even marked. Go around to the alley in the back and there is a welcoming parking lot, a huge sign and customers going in and out. * * * Chavelos is your basic Texas Tex-Mex restaurant. All the standards. Prepared the normal ways these things are prepared. As comforting as old bedroom slippers. You can find these dishes in thousands of places all over Texas. But you will do perfectly well having them here. * * * Two unusual notes besides the back is front issue. a) They have beautiful post oaks in the back-is-front back yard. On warm days, you can sit out there. I recommend it. b) They are massively generous with chips and dip. The initial bowl they give you is microscopic. But they are refilling that bowl constantly. Scoops of chips showed up at our table many many times during our meal. The chips are lovely. The salsa is no great shakes. Still, I ate 6,438 chips with dip. So the salsa can't have been that bad. * * * Altogether a pleasant place. The old standards are old standards for a reason.

It's loaded with huge chunks of squash, bell peppers, onions, and fresh avocado. They definitely don't skimp on the chicken or the rice, making it incredibly filling.

Everything was pretty delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The Catfish Beignets were perfectly crispy with a hint of sweetness, but nothing super special about them, just tasted like fried catfish to me. The Diablo Chicken Pasta was nice and saucy, but like the catfish beignets, was a bit bland so I needed some salt to up the flavors. The shrimp ceviche was very refreshing, delicious, and a solid appetizer that was packed with flavor. The Chicken Waffles was good as well. The chorizo gravy sauce that came with it, was different, but complimented the whole dish very well. Overall, the portion was a bit smaller than I'd like for the price that I paid, but the food was overall pretty delicious. Our server Michael was fantastic. Super fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. A full bar, but didn't have Pina Coladas. Lots of tables and chairs to dine at. Clean restrooms and lots of parking. They have this huge fancy front door that threw me off a little lol.

Even then, i thought it was ok, especially for the price point. Stellar: First our server, Faith: she was super friendly, attentive and funny and made it a pleasant experience. Also, the shrimp tostada bites were killer - I could eat those all day. My wife's carajillo was perfect. OK: catfish beignets-the batter was well seasoned and crunchy, but it seemed like the actual fish needed seasoning as it was pretty bland. Grilled chicken sandwich was pretty bland too: the chicken was slightly dry and aside from the avocado, onion and tomato, there was not much flavor. Checked the buns to see if they were spread with an aoli but no, pretty dry. I thought Z Tejas was ok then and it's still ok and wouldn't be my first choice unless it's for happy hour where they have the shrimp tostadas on special.

Came here for lunch around 3pm on a Saturday and were surprised this place was empty…read more We were greeted and seated right away. Server asked if we knew what we wanted but since it was our first time we asked for the menu & ordered 3 drinks: Mexican bottled coke, jarritos (pineapple) and Sangria (soda non alcoholic) We ordered 18 mini tacos and 2 cheese quesadillas. Total was: $57 (cash ONLY) - Al pastor: 5/5 for taste, flavor, presentation and amount of meat to taco ratio. Only thing sadly missing was fresh pineapple for topping. - Suadero (fajita): 2/5 it was nicely packed but sadly missed the mark on flavor and it was very dry. - Cabeza: 2/5 the cut of meat was good but missing flavor. - Chorizo: 3/5 the flavor was good but not great. - Cheese quesadillas: 4/5 the cheese was quality cheese but didn't actually melt at all. Once the food came out (10min) we were given 2 types of salsas: green guacamole and red with chile de arbol. I was only able to add a few drops of the red salsa so beware. Overall we really enjoyed the food, service and mainly the al pastor tacos. We'd come here again if we're ever in Kyle.

El personal es amable y muy acogedor. Sin embargo, la única razón por la que obtiene 1 estrella es porque pedimos nuestra comida que salió muy rápido, lo cual no es una queja, pero la comida y la salsa tenían poco o ningún sabor, la porción de limon que recibimos era muy pequeña, las porciones tenían poco o nada de jugo cuando se exprimían. Lo más probable es que no regrese, lo único bueno fue la Coca mexicana

I am not usually excited by "gas station food" but listen, that is NOT what this is! These are legit breakfast tacos with a variety of fillings. I tried the Buda Taco and the Clem Taco and they both knocked my socks off. One of them had carne guisada! They were both so delicious! Even the kids all enjoyed the different tacos they got and asked if we could go back a second time the same day! Chris took such good care of us. You can bet we are already looking for a good opportunity to go back. Say yes to the salsa!

The restaurant is nice. It includes a little market in one section with various food items that you can purchase. There is also a seating area with couches near the market section. The restaurant has different sized tables for seating. Not long after being seated we were greeted by a waiter that did an excellent job taking care of us the entire time we were there. He took our drink order, gave us menus and some time to decide what we wanted. After a few minutes he brought us our waters and took our order. We ordered several items. El Olivo which is a garlic bread. It was okay. The bread was good. It was nice and warm and the garlic flavor was all on top. Whipped Feta which comes with grilled Naan and cucumber slices. The Naan was okay. It was a little cold and needed to be warmed up a little more for my liking but my kids ate it up. The cucumbers were fresh and crisp and the whipped feta was pretty good. It had a slight lemon flavor but not enough to where you could taste the lemon with every bite. Pork belly chicharron which had pork with avacado covered in a sauce. It came with tortilla chips. The tortilla chips were thick and crispy. Perfect for scooping up some of the pork belly. The pork belly was delicious. The sauce that covered it added flavor and the avacado was fresh. The Lamb chops came with Lamb, carrots and a puree. The lamb itself was excellent. It was cooked perfectly and was tender with each bite. The carrots were slightly sweet and the puree was soft. It was a good mix of different textures with each bite. The Truffle mac and cheese was a macaroni and cheese with chives and truffle flavor. This was very tasty. The macaroni was tender, the chives were spread out and added that slight onion flavor. The cheese was very flavorful. One of my kids ate almost all of this. Barbacoa Doughnuts which are mini doughnuts filled with barbacoa topped with a salsa. I don't really like barbacoa but I tried them and was pleasantly surprised. These were delicious. It was basically a soft and warm mini doughnut filled with flavorful barbacoa. The sauce on it added a slight spicy flavor. Patatas Bravas are potatoes with salsa and a garlic aioli sauce. These were very tasty. That salsa and aioli sauce are what gave this dish all of its yummy flavor. The potatoes had a crispy exterior with a soft interior. All of the ingredients mixed together made a very good side dish. One of my sons ordered the Dos Olivos Burger with Tater Tots. He said that the burger was okay. I tried it and I agreed. The tater tots were good. He ate those up with some ketchup. My other son ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwiches with everything on the side. He substituted a salad instead of the fries. He ate the salad up. He also ate the Fried chicken from the sandwich. He said it was good. He is not a fan of sesame seed bread so he opted not to eat the bun. I tried the red cabbage apple slaw that it comes with and it was okay. Lastly I ordered the Beet Salad which comes with beets, pears, and candied pecans. I don't usually eat beets but I wanted to try it. It was very good. The beet chunks were large and soft but not overly soft. The pears and the candied pecans added a crispier texture and the mixture of all of the ingredients along with the sauce that was on it made this a super sweet beet salad. Almost like a dessert. It was delicious. Overall the restaurant is a cool spot to visit. The market is a neat addition that adds to the ambiance of the restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was delicious.

The Best Pad Thai ($18): Thai-style stir-fried rice noodles with egg, dried sweet radish, chili, garlic, crab meat, bean sprouts, and chives, topped with fried tempura shrimp, crispy shallots, tobiko, peanuts, and lime. I love pad thai, and this version delivered! The flavors were quite concentrated, so I recommend mixing the noodles thoroughly before eating. While the shrimp tempura was crunchy with a nice batter, I personally prefer the traditional proteins -- beef, chicken, pork, or tofu. BBQ Brisket Clay Pot ($19.50): A Thai-Chinese style clay pot featuring garlic, ginger, smoky brisket, onion, mushroom, Thai jasmine rice, green onion, sweet soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce. The combination didn't quite work for me and I wasn't a fan of the flavors, though my husband absolutely loved it. It's not as flavorful as the pad thai so we had to use the sauce they provided.

I believe that the foundation of any business is good customer service. This was not our experience at Super Slicks. From the moment we sat down it was bad. The waitress literally burped out loud as she was seating us and never bothered to say excuse me. Rude and disgusting. We had to consistently ask her to refill our drinks. Not once did she come over to check and see how we were doing. We had to keep asking her to come over. We went at 5:00 so it wasn't busy. Probably 3 tables going at that point. The beer was cool not cold. They put celery in the queso. Celery should not go in queso. The only reason they're getting a 1 is because the nachos were halfway decent. Safe to say won't be back. read more

We have been to Super Slicks twice and believe it does warrant 5 stars!!! Buda now has a non-chain related eatery with a casual atmosphere...great service and excellent food!!! Each time we have gone, they have had quite a number of guest. Fajitas are out of this world with flavor.....flautas are the BEST I have ever had. Owner and Manager are very nice and the service staff provide excellent customer service. Other reviewers claim dirty tables...small chips and salsa bowls....not our experience....large bowl of chips and the salsa was endless. Great Sangria and Margaritas! Give it a try...you will be pleased! read more
