    Fish and shrimp tacos on corn tortillas
    Desiree A.

    A friend invited me to lunch and picked this spot. I usually research where we are going but didn't this time and was surprised to see it's a little restaurant inside a golf club. There is just one entrance into the parking lot so don't miss it! The bathrooms are fine and part of the club. There is outdoor seating overlooking the green and golfers and outdoor seating under a pavilion with picnic tables. There is also inside seating when it gets hot outside. I ordered the chips trio and everything was tasty. I ordered the fish and shrimp tacos. Both were on corn tortillas and full of flavor! Then a side of rice and refried beans. All of it was fresh and not greasy. I usually judge a place on whether I would go back or recommend to others. This place gets both because I can't wait to go back!

    Hidden gem alert! It's been a while since I've been here! If you haven't been to Fairways Cantina you are missing OUT! It's located right next to Morris Williams Golf Course. You don't have to partake in golf to come enjoy the tropical margaritas and delicious tacos while enjoying the view! Parking is ample and service was excellent today! I ordered the Shooter McGavin signature taco ($5.75) which included smoked pulled pork, pineapple, cabbage, cotija, cilantro and a sweet pineapple sauce! The pulled pork was sooo tender and juicy and the pineapple was a nice surprise--pretty filling as well. I also tried one of their non alcoholic beers-School Night ($5) (new menu items!) I enjoyed it. It was light and fruity. The queso that came with the Triple Birdie ($10.95) (queso, guacamole and salsa) was spicy and ADDICTIVE!! This was the perfect place to come for a bookclub with my friends and I'll probably come back again this weekend. It was a very peaceful vibe and the food was great.

    We have passed by this place more times then we can count....and the fact is we should have stopped sooner...really cool set up...tables in or out...Cool to watch the balls being sliced left and right...Service was spot on...They have several tacos pre-made, but I opted for the carnitas, egg and cheese...flavorful and hot...great spicy red sauce.

    Okay, I have been meaning to write a review for this place for a while. And Ali(sp?) service made me finally commit to it. Look into the history of the place. It is interesting to say the least. When I first moved into the neighborhood and saw that there was a taco place at a golf club I was uncertain about trying this place out. However The tacos are incredible! Love the fish, love the steak and love the chicken. They know what they are doing! The cocktails are incredible. The price is inexpensive. The patio area, especially around sunset, is gorgeous. And again, this staff. Really, you can tell that the managers and owners place a lot of importance on their staff/customer interactions. I haven't learned too many of the staff members' names but I do know that Ali does a great job. Do not sleep on this place. The locals know. Great tacos, and great drinks.

    Outside seating

    What a cute little place tucked away in east Austin. It overlooks the golf course so the views are expansive and gorgeous. They have a nice patio to sit out on when the weather is nice. When you step inside it's a really nondescript cantina, almost like a small canteen but when you try the food, you'll see why this is a must-add to your list of taco places in the city! The tacos are hearty, bursting with flavor and veryyyy affordable. A great spot to get some good food and yap with friends! The staff is super nice, friendly and attentive, 11/10 would go again!

    The food was great and came out pretty quick. This is a perfect spot for golfing at the range. Would recommend for remote work, hit the range and get some tacos.

    Chips and Tex Mex Queso
    Taylor G.

    It was our first time here and we were so impressed with everything! The food, drinks, atmosphere & service were all great! We tried a few different margaritas on the menu - all of them were great! The chips and queso were my favorite part, the queso is a little spicy which I love, but if you don't like spice you might not like it. The quesadillas, tacos, rice and beans were all great as well! It's a super cute place with lots of seating options, we didn't golf but it was fun to people watch while we ate! I would definitely recommend for a fun outing with friends!

    Chicken tinga, Great White Shark, Green Jacket Taco
    Nirmala P.

    Delicious food! We tried the Green Jacket ( beer fried avocado taco), the Great White Shark, and the chicken tinga taco! Everything was so fresh! Presentation was outstanding too! Fun watching everyone practicing their golf swings while we ate.

    Fried Avocado taco on flour tortilla
    Nicolle M.

    Try this place next time you are in the Mueller area! Came back after discovering this Cafe was open to the public not just golfers, and it's delicious. Highlights include- the faraway salsa (it's made in house and a new favorite of ours), the shooter McGavin taco, and the pink panther cocktail. Other great options- the fried fish taco was solid, the quesadilla with a side of queso to dip is delicious, and really all their cocktails are great. They also have can beer, cider and white claw for $6 or can wine. I was told that you can buy a can and take it with you while golfing. The setting is lovely on a nice day. Shaded porch or indoor seating, and It's fun watching others playing golf while enjoying tacos and cocktails. Very relaxing, I think this is a new go-to for us!

    Cauntos Tacos was recommended to me by my BF, and we decided to go all in with the "1 of Each Kind"…read moremenu option. Boy, am I glad we did this--it was the perfect way to try a little bit of everything and compare favorites side by side. Sauderos - One of my top choices. Great texture and flavor with a nice richness to it. That said, carnitas and longaniza still edged it out for me. Cachete - Almost felt like a milder cousin to the carnitas. I personally preferred the milkier flavor profile of the carnitas, but this was still delicious and incredibly satisfying. Buche - Softer and mushier than I would typically like in a meat filling, but the flavor itself was undeniably good. Texture held it back a bit for me. Carnitas - A classic milkiness that's genuinely hard to beat. Rich, comforting, and probably one of my favorite carnitas I've had so far. Definitely a standout. Longaniza - I've never really been a chorizo person... until now. This completely changed my mind. Deep red color, intensely meaty flavor, rich without being overwhelming--easily one of my favorites of the bunch. Champiñones - More flavorful and spicier than I expected. The mushrooms had a pleasantly chewy texture instead of turning mushy, which I appreciated a lot. Great mushroom flavor overall. Revuelta - Not actually on the menu, but something we personally requested. Delicious combination of meats, though tasting everything back-to-back made this one come across a bit saltier. Still, the pairing worked really well and made for a satisfying bite. The sauces deserve a mention too. The green sauce packed noticeably more heat and leaned herbaceous, while the red sauce had a beautiful smokiness that completely won both my best friend and me over. Service was honestly one of the fastest and most efficient I've seen from a food truck. Everything moved quickly and smoothly despite the steady flow of people. My only real downside had nothing to do with the food itself--I hated standing outside at 8 PM dealing with bugs while eating, but that's more the nature of the setup than the fault of the truck. Overall, I was genuinely impressed by the meat quality and how distinct each taco felt from the next. Carnitas and longaniza were the clear winners for me, but there honestly wasn't a bad taco in the lineup.

    5 Stars - So Good, Worth the Hype…read more We finally tried Cuantos Tacos and wow... it absolutely lived up to the hype. Food: The tacos were incredible--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can taste the quality right away. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and the tortillas tasted fresh and authentic. We tried a few different tacos and honestly didn't have a single miss. Simple menu, but done really, really well. Service: Service was friendly and efficient. Even with a line, things moved quickly and the staff were welcoming and patient. You can tell they know what they're doing and take pride in the food. Ambiance: It has that fun Austin food-truck vibe--casual, lively, and a little busy, but in a good way. It feels like one of those places locals love and keep coming back to. Overall: Easy five stars. Amazing tacos, great service, and a cool atmosphere. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to again and again.

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.

Decided to come in and the cashier greeted us and was really nice and patient because of questions with the menu. The Taco Bueno is what I had ordered and requested no potato.
