    Won't recommend this placeI had some nachos there were the worst nachos ever had no seasoning overpriced had some horchata it just taste like water and sugar it was sad

    Barbacoa plate
    Raquel P.

    The food was okay. The service was good. I ordered the barbacoa plate. I asked for eggs over medium and although the yolk was cooked appropriately, the eggs were a bit burnt. The beans were bland and needed salt. The potatoes were bland as well; they should've cooked them alla mexicana for some flavor. The barbacoa was okay and of course in my opinion tasted better once I added some cilantro and onions. I'll possibly try them for lunch or dinner to see if that's any better.

    Good food, good service, good prices. Good breakfast, would go back for sure. I wish they had real alcohol for normal margaritas though. Salsa was super spicy. Chips were thicker.

    New bar!

    Now with a new bar, come check it out! I work down the street and this is the only place in 30 miles to get a beer, but I'd drive 100 miles just to hang out. This place is owned by the sweetest, coolest family in Texas, so the ambience is personal but hip. The food is exquisite, not expensive but made with care in the Tejupilco style. And Alejandra is an absolute genius! Stop by for a spicy margarita and say whatsup--I might be there.

    Always a good spot for food or to fill your belly. Cherry on top, great service. Regular spot for me.

    Pig foot and juice

    I would not recommend this place, you would rather starve. First and last time customer. Ordered a large menudo and two barbcoa tacos. The menudo ended up being a pig foot w juice. The tacos had very little meat and tasted horrible. Unfortunately I didn't notice this until I was home so I called to let them know that I was disappointed and requested a refund. I was told they would have the Manager call me. Manager never called so the next day on my way home I stoped in w my receipt and pictures. The Manager seemed to care less and refused refund. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.

    My husband and I came in today and the service was phenomenal, as was the food!…read more My husband got the Brisket Burrito... and it is life changing -- it is now a favorite and a pregnancy craving. Their fried chicken sandwich was audibly crisp with fresh tomato and lettuce that I made two meals out of. To end the perfect meal... my husband actually coordinated with staff to create "Gender Reveal" pancakes! I didn't realize what they were until I got to the yummy surprise! Their cream is delicious! The pancakes were soft and sweet! The experience, unforgettable. It brought happy tears to my eyes and we really appreciate the thought and care put into our day. We will DEFINITELY be repeat customers!

    My first experience here was amazing, which is why I was excited to come back for breakfast…read more Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. I ordered the migas, and the amount of onions in the dish was overwhelming--so much so that it felt like I had ordered a plate of onions rather than migas. The masa cakes were definitely the standout item and were absolutely delicious. However, the rest of the dish fell short. The sauce was extremely rich, making it difficult to enjoy or finish the meal. That said, the restaurant itself is adorable, and our waiter was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were both great. While this breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I'll still return and stick with favorites like the fried green tomatoes and taquito salad, which were excellent during my previous visit.

Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

Considering the quality and the lack of included sides, the meal just doesn't feel like a good value. There are better options in Austin if you're looking for a good meal at a fair price.

    It has been years since we have came to Magnolia cafe…read more Today's visit did not disappoint. You have to scan a QR code upon arrival to get in line, thought that was weird that the host didn't just add you to the list- anywho. The wait was about 15 min , we walked out to the patio and discovered lots of neat plants, and the mimosa bar. Patio was covered for the most part with ac units and fans to cool you off. We were sat inside. Our waitress was a older pescatarian lady which was cool since i'm pescatarian too. She provided great suggestions and was very personable. We ordered the prima dora omelet which would have used more filling but it was over all good, the black beans we ordered in the side , we possible the best black beans i've had. We also ordered a veggie benidict off the seasonal menu. The hollandaise sauce was a bit bland but I used the yellow bird habenero salsa and it kicked up the flavor profile- Overall we really enjoyed the food, service & vibes!

They specialize in crepes. They have a handful of small tables as well as couch seating. You place your order at the counter then the staff brings it to you once it's ready. I ordered my go-to drink, an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon as well as their Lox n' found croiffin. The latte was great. The Lox n' found croiffin comes with a toasted croissant roll, smoked salmon, ricotta, avocado, arugula, capers, pickled onions and dill. I added an egg for an additional charge of $2. This was a beautiful and tasty sandwich! It was very filling, too. I highly recommend checking out this unique spot!

    The food is delicious, and the setting is unique, but the service is a bit slow…read more The restaurant is located in the lobby of the Scarbrough Building. It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method. I ordered the lox n found, a toasted croissant roll with smoked salmon, avocado, dill ricotta, arugula, onion, and capers. The menu says it also comes with a side of roasted potatoes, but mine didn't come with that. The sandwich was delicious and filling, so I definitely didn't need them, but I do feel like I didn't get what I paid for.
