    Chilaquiles
    Vincent L.

    Come here to get chilaquiles and online recommdation said everything is house made. But the plate is kinda small. Charge extra for chicken and egg and there were barely any chicken on it. I ordered chilaquiles, not beans and potatoes. Chips and salsa should be main components on the plate. Look at my picture. They make their own tortillas which is nice. It is a little bit chewy like Yemeni bread. But I think the plate should be bigger for $18

    I actually liked this neighborhood Mexican joint. I quickly looked at other reviews saying it was bland but i beg to differ on that point. I thought the food here was very transparent without being over-seasoned and heavy. I ordered the Thursday lunch special which was perfect as it came with a bowl of chicken tortilla soup and choice of taco. I got the crispy beef taco for my choice of taco which was very delicious. The chicken tortilla soup had a very clear soup and just enough flavoring as not to overpower the chicken and vegetables. I left without feeling heavy but very nourished. Will come again and try their other items.

    Small quaint restaurant. The seating is very limited due to the restaurant being so small, but it's pretty clean. Starting with the salsa: the salsa was a miss for me. The chips were good, but the salsa was bland. I only hoped the food would taste better. Food: Bland! Bland! Bland! Unfortunately, the food was so bland. It was disappointing because I really wanted to like this place due to the reviews, but there was no flavor at all to anything. I rounded up to 3 stars, but my true review is 2.5 stars.

    Shredded chicken tacos with avocado, Mexican rice and black beans
    Kylie B.

    5 stars ACROSS THE BOARD!! We called our order in like 10 minutes before they closed and they were so sweet to take our order. The restaurant is so cute and is an old house turned into a restaurant. The main lady who took our order and served us was so nice and even added another order on that we forgot even thought they were 5 minutes from closing. The food was amazing, especially the fish tacos and the shredded chicken tacos. If you add avocado, they are very generous with the amount. The food was absolutely amazing and extremely authentic. The portions are big and you can tell that this restaurant has really perfected their recipes.

    The food is absolutely amazing and the service was fabulous. Everybody was so sweet. I love their little home restaurant. It brings good vibes.

    Excellent and friendly service. This is a small spot that is refreshing in its homeyness. Stopped in for breakfast. I had the huevos rancheros which is accompanied by beans, potatoes, and your choice of flour or corn tortillas. The eggs and beans were delicious. The potatoes were sliced into sticks and were oddly pale and limp (similar to a boiled potato). I would ask for them to be cooked well and crisped if possible-- other photos show char but mine had none. Not a deal-breaker by any means, as everything else was very tasty. I'll be back to try their enchiladas as it was too early for them at 8:00 am.

    Fantastic neighborhood gem in the Rosedale area. Hands down, some of the most authentic Mexican food in Austin. Delicacies like machacado con huevo and fideo are hard to find in Austin and theirs is delicious. And, the fresh corn tortillas are the best! Love this place.

    Chicken tacos
    Elvia H.

    Nice little space, services was good and the food was nothing out of the ordinary/traditional but some downside for me was that the nopalitos salad tasted like caned and the sopita de fideo was made with pasta like angel hair I believed so it give it a different taste than grandmas one on the other side the stake tacos were cooked to perfection very crispy and I'm not a fan of black beans but this do tasted like frijoles de hoya my daughter is very picky with barbacoa and she said this one is on her top list cause is not fatty. Definitely give them a try and we'll be back when on that side of town.

    The cheese enchiladas are the perfect kind of cheesy. Perfectly melted and mild and almost melts in your mouth. Add a bit of salsa on for that perfect kick. The potato enchiladas are also very good with the chipotle sauce although I wish it had just a little more sauce. The restaurant is very charming like eating at your abuela's casa. No frills just smiles. They don't serve alcohol here so be ready to drink Mexican coke! Update: they are BYOB so the coke is going to be replaced by a six pack!

    La Cocina de Consuelo's Chicken Mole Special
    Adriane S.

    This sweet converted house is a small bistro, but mighty! With a lovely lived in vibe. Their chicken mole special IS special...Exceptional sides in my opinion are the Nopales, and the Mango-Jicama Salad. Yes, their homemade tortillas are as great as their fab service. There is an additional parking lot in back.

    One of my favorite spots in town. Classic Tex Mex with a truly homemade, made-with-care feel. Their crispy tacos are the best I've had. It's a tiny little spot but so, so cozy. Great service and a super laid back atmosphere. Get there early to grab a seat!!

    Lunch special - Flautas with Mexican rice and Fideo
    Shayer S.

    Small place. Cute decor. Super sweet service on 4th of July when my son wanted tacos and this was the only place open near us. Ordered a lunch special- Flautas with Mexican rice and Fideo, Tostada Plate with Mexican rice and refried beans and a Chicken Tortilla Soup and 1 Taco Combo for the kid. Total price with tax and tips was $34 which translates to a little over $11 per person. Food is made fresh so there's a wait and it looked really good. Once we actually dug in, we were surprised by how bland and underwhelming the flavors were. It was really disappointing considering everything else, including the quality of ingredients were top notch. To briefly go through the items: Flautas - super bland and the chicken was kinda stinky Mexican rice - good and flavorful Fideo - first time trying and i really liked this dish Refried beans - basic, not my favorite Chicken Tortilla Soup - kid didn't like it so I had it. It was pretty good Taco - super basic and boring. Can't believe soup and one taco is like 12 dollars. Lowlight of the meal. Tostada - the round fried tortilla was really good. But it needed something to make it stand out as the dish as a whole was super bland. So I'm sad to say, despite the friendly and warm service, the food just didn't do it for us.

Arriba Abajo as you walked in just gave me all the vibes of a happening place when you want to hang out with friends and have a great time. We ordered the braised ribs rolled tacos for appetizers. It was so fresh and kicking' with all kinds of flavors. I wish I had ordered another one. The avocado sauce layered on the bottom was just enough to keep wanting more. For lunch I ordered the Carneasada Fajitas with chimichurri and my husband ordered the Carneasada Taqueria. With my fajitas came a side of frijoles, green rice & flour tortillas. Corn flour was the other option. Both meals came in pipin' hot & the smell coming from both was very aromatic, zesty & spice. Amazing taste, flavors, just the right amount of marinade on the Carneasada with a hint of lime. It was so delicious while enjoying the ambiance. Our server was a delight and took very good care of us. We didn't order any of their alcoholic beverages since we were both working, but definitely we will be back to enjoy more food and try out their beverages.

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
