Great drinks and ambience. Bartenders are great and drinks are reasonably priced. Nice hole in the wall bar. read more

Excellent frozen margaritas (boozy and flavorful) with your choice of salt rim...Standard, habanero, sweet tamarind. I love this little fun detail; takes it up a notch. There always seem to be a gaggle of gents behind the bar that are friendly and handsome, to boot. Some inside seating and a huge outdoor patio with misters and some covered areas. Taco Flats truck is in back and you can order their goods from the bar (and pick up at the truck). I am not a fan of the vessels (they need to be wider and shallow vs deep and narrow) for the queso, salsa, and guacamole, but I VERY much like all three of those dips and the chips that accompany each of them. Wish you could order them as a trio so you didn't have to triple down on chips, but if you have enough people, that shouldn't be an issue. It has a divey vibe but doesn't feel down and out. read more

I really like the feel of this place. The vibe was very chill and they have a great amount of mescal to choose from! The bartender was very nice and able to make literally anything I asked about. Which is always impressive to me! My only complaint was with the food truck. (Which I know it probably a separate entity but it was the reason we didn't stay) We got pastor tacos, which are my favorite! But the pastor meat was burned to a crisp. Couldn't even eat the meat it was so tough. Very disappointed with that. I will say the queso was delicious but it hardened up super fast. But otherwise, the bar itself I give it an A. Check it out, just don't plan on eating. read more

La Holly - Aperol spritz - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Chill bar in Eat Austin specializing in mezcal cocktails. Big fan of their frozen La Sancha which uses vida mezcal, triple sec, their house made hibiscus syrup and some lime. Gives off a very woody taste. Cool outside patio to chill in. They have an inside and outside bar. Did I mention they serve up some good tacos as well? read more

La Holly - Frozen La Sancha - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Does anyone want a $12 margarita to-go? Either the bartender on shift was lazy or 16oz doesn't mean 16oz for La Holly. Super disappointed in a place we've heard good reviews about. They should be valuing to-go customers just as much as in-person customers. No excuses. read more

La Holly - To-go margarita - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Have you tried their frozen spicy marg? You should! I love this place. Great drinks, chill neighborhood vibe - during the wee - weekends can still get rowdy, but always fun. Margs, tacos, chips and salsa... it's really all you need, right? read more

Bar: The bar service is great and they have good music. The prices are good and the bartenders are fun, make great drinks and I will be coming back. The patrons were nice and fun it is a nice vibe. We had a great time when we went. Thanks Caleb! Food: I had the queso it was watery and flavorless with a layer of oil on top and I did not taste any chorizo but I did see some pieces floating in it. I also had a chorizo taco and I didn't taste a lot of chorizo but I did taste the cheese and onion on the taco. It was like I ate a cheesy onion taco with a little bit of meat. The onions were very thick. I would say the food lacked flavor for me. I would not order it again. I took away a star for the food because it's a bar and you should go for the bar. read more

The bartender, Caleb is the best! We come here for the great vibes, service & community. The only thing that would make this place better is adding some citronella tiki torches to help with all the Texas flies read more

This is one of my favorite places during COVID. They have the best mezcal selection and the food truck has one of the best tacos. I recommend Taco Pirata. Also, the outdoor tables setting is great for a good weather day. This location is more chilled that West 6; That is why I like it. read more

La Holly - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Hands down ate the best taco of my life here on my last trip to Austin. The Gringa taco is unique because on top of the tortilla, before it's filled with amazing roasted pork, is a layer of chewy, melted jack cheese. The meat, pineapple and onion is wrapped in this cheesy tortilla goodness and IT. IS. MAGICAL. The guacamole is also incredible, with amazing homemade chips. Wow. I also tried the shrimp taco, which was great, but I honestly would only eat the Gringa for the rest of my life if I could. Located behind La Holly, an incredible mezcal/tequila bar, the owners of Taco Flats own both the food truck, the larger restaurant in Austin and the bar itself. The outside patio is perfect for relaxing with friends and tacos, and you can also order from inside the bar itself and enjoy one of their amazing cocktails. Definitely an Austin favorite for me! read more

Just moved here and walked to La Holly. Amazing margs. But KYLE is the boy. Made us feel right at home & gave us drinks to die for. 1000/10

meh. underwhelming and overpriced. weird vibe. it feels like a bar looking for an identity. read more

I would drive by this place all the time, not really giving it much consideration, but just recently I noticed a beautiful mural adorning the side and it caught my attention. This has to be new, right? Apparently so! And I'm happy to say this place is fantastic! Into they're eighth week of service, this small east side dive has been transformed into a charming Mezcal bar. They're serving up some really tasty riffs on classic cocktails with Mezcal as the focus. Don't worry you can still find a great sampling of local Austin beers and your staple cocktails but when you're here, it's really all about the Mezcal! I really appreciate the small cozy interior space with a the bar wall covered in beautiful Mezcal bottles from all over Oaxaca. I tried the Negroni and Old Fashioned, both were so flavorful, mellow and smokey. Using Del Maguey as their well for these cocktails was really nice to see! They have a great patio with a few picnic tables and cafe lights strung above connecting you to the perfect accompaniments to a strong drink or Mexican Lager, Tacos and Thai! Taco Flats and Dee Dee's Thai trucks. Had a great experience here. A great friendly atmosphere. Sometimes a more unique spirit, like Mezcal, can be intimidating to try but I'd say this is a great place to get started! read more

First time visiting this place today and was extremely underwhelmed. The vibes were very odd and uninviting. The main reason we came was for the food truck, but it was empty and you had to order through a QR code. Didn't want to chance how long that wait would've been since no one was even in the food truck. read more

Oaxacan Wipeout and quesadillas. Yum. I take a photo of the menu every time I'm there and pretend like I'm gonna make it at home.

Ok, first time here.... Lived in Austin for 10 years and native Texan. If your looking for a legit food truck.... pass!!!!!! Food truck in back with women on their phones and nock on the window to get attention...."order food at bar!" Go to the bar "scan this code and enter your CC info and place your order" Opened QR and enter CC info, email, phone #, ect.... For an queso & chips!!!! Pick up order and it's chips and salsa.... Nock on window again and told til talk to the bar because they have no queso..... Talk to bartender and he shows me screen where I ordered chips and salsa... I show my phone where I ordered queso and the bar tender removes order from my tap and throws entire order in the trash and looks me in the eyes and says .... "Sorry dude we don't have queso!" Welcome to Austin!..... waste your time and don't even get what you pay for!!!!!!! Much better options in Austin!!!! read more

If you want some legit Mexican tacos or quesadillas... this is it. Randomly stumbled (literally lol) on it and best find in a city that's a melting pot of good food. Plus the two girls.. de la gente .. loved their personalities. read more

Hands down best tacos in Austin. A lot of opinions out there about tacos in Austin so YOU HAVE TO TRY THEESE before you formulate your opinion. So many options and all of the meats (and veggie(hippie)) option are always perfectly prepared. Have to love the spicy verde sauce as well. Pair some tacos with the chips and queso and you've got yourself a great meal! read more

Really great fish tacos. Would highly recommend the catch of the day. Their app trio is great but the quest is THICK. I personally didn't like it as it had a glue texture. Only bad thing we had there. Jalapeño Margs were exceptional read more

Fun place to meet up with friends and finding delicious tacos and great cocktails and beer. read more

La Holly does 3 things right: 1. Their mezcal drinks taste incredible, 2. Their tacos taste amazing as well, and 3. the service delivers the first two items to the best of their abilities. While many restaurants feature glamour-shots of their food and cocktails La Holly will give you food that looks picture perfect. If you like smoky drinks definitely come here and enjoy the Oaxacan Wipeout. The tacos may look overpriced on the menu but they are completely worth ordering because of their size, quality of meat, and freshness (pastor and pescadito stole the show). We dined here with the family and thoroughly enjoyed it. But La Holly clearly draws more young adults and hipsters to their mezcal quarry. La Holly isn't much for its looks because it appears what appears to be a slightly renovated shack with low ceilings and a trailer in its backyard for cooking tacos and greasy jumbo chips. It's also located off the main stretch so when we stumbled on it in the dark we weren't sure we were at the right place, but from what we've seen that's about par for the increasingly urbanizing Austin suburbs. The interior has the feeling of a home freshly built but not lived in. Two oversized TVs hung over the bar playing National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. The rest of the decor seemed generic with impeccably clean bartables and metal stools. Despite the sterility of the ambiance the young clientele and workers made the place feel cozy. The two friendly hipster bartenders gave us the attention and punctuality we needed to get our food and drinks to make it through our family holiday. They definitely seemed to know several of the patrons and chitchatting in what gave a warm hang-out vibe. La Holly doesn't overpromise on its goods but outperforms on its quality of drink, food, and friendliness. read more

We stopped in to La Holly on a whim, it's now one of my absolute favorite taco spots in Austin. Order online and pick up from the truck in the back. Inside is a cool island vibe with great service and drinks. Try the pirata and the pollo asada. So savory and hits the spot every time! Chips and guacamole are legit also! read more

This hidden Mezcal-bar gem deserves all the stars!!!! Walked in on a quiet, rainy night to be greeted by an incredible cocktail menu and super helpful and friendly bar staff. The Oaxacan Wipeout with pineapple, cinnamon, absinthe butters and habenero syrup is fabulous- sweet and spicy with a creamy top layer. And my husband's mezcal old-fashioned was even better than the reknowned one we had in Santa Fe! This place sports a funky, clean, hipster-dive vibe, has a dope taco truck outside and offers a cocktail menu that would make even the most exclusive speakeasy blush. I love that it's mezcal-forward and totally dives into it with no apologies. MUST TRY!!!! read more

Food is good but the bartenders are fools. They just tried to scam me by telling me "We closed your tab by accident." After I had order food and left my tab open but what they didn't tell me is that they also charged me a 20% ($7.79) TIP without letting me know. So when I confronted the bartenders they started to act dumb and started to blame the card reader. Remind you the same bartender that told me he accidentally closed my tab he charge me for my second order without mentioning anything about the TIP from my last order. These bartenders are a joke. Bad service, horrible attitude, and awful customer service. Come on Holly get your shit together. read more

The best tacos I've had in a while. Cleanest trailer in Austin. The melted cheese on the tortilla is something I've never experienced. Think quesadilla meets taco. The guacamole competes with the best in a city that prides itself on queso. Keep it up guys, amazing food. read more

La Holly - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Horrible AC system that's likely linked to zero insulation. Their digital thermostat between the rear exit and restrooms registered at 89 degrees at 8:30 pm. The bartender with the rolled up sleeves to show off his arm tats wouldn't answer my girlfriend's questions about their gin selection - acted like he was doing her a favor. The east side is sadly building a horrible stereotype. I had to go up to him and pull his teeth and, in return, be rude to get some answers/get him to do his job. They also have a political sign in the oven-like area. They clearly have a liking to BETO. I would never invest money in an openly biased company that's still very green. Clearly they won't be expanding or growing. Dee Dee, who has a food truck located to the rear of the "oven" is one of the best food trucks in the Austin area. I'll never stop giving them (dee dee) business, but I'll never spend a dime at la holly. I'm a tequila and mezcal snob and they have some of the stuff you should try, bud need to drop the asshole mentality ASAP. read more

Good drinks, nice patio, chill place, what's not to like?! Lots of veggie options for tacos. Didn't love the queso but my husband liked it so that's more of a preference. read more

Woohoo! Welcome, La Holly to 78702. You're a star, baby. La Holly opened recently at the site of the fallen John Mueller Meat Co. I frequented JMMC, so I had a soft spot in my heart for the location and when they left a hole was created. It has been too long since this place occupied something. La Holly came in, filled the hole and the longing for a cocktail bar farther East. This place is so cute, but doesn't try too hard. They have soft pink cabinetry, a large patio, & tons of exposed boards. It feels refreshing and comfortable. I thought you could be my new neighborhood bar, La H, but you added DEE DEE's Thai trailer and Taco Flat and sealed the deal. read more

This review is specifically for the Food truck and not the bar, which I have yet to try, doubt I ever will since the food was so bad. I ordered one single shrimp taco, which cost me $6 + tip and taxes. I don't mind paying high prices for good quality. The reason for the one star is because is was not higher quality at all. The shrimp is labeled as wild caught but it tasted like one of those shrimps you can cook for as long as you want, but won't ever fully get cooked. Having just had the best Baja shrimp taco at Torchy's taco the day before, this taco in comparison was awful and expensive. Torchy's taco had real shrimp and was only $4.75 plus tax and tip. Would never visit this food truck again. read more

This bar was not only cute, comfortable and had an outdoor patio but the drinks were excellent. If you're into Mezcal, they have a great menu including multiple Mezcal drinks. Highly recommend - you won't be disappointed! We will be back! read more

La Holly - La Sancha #drinks - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Amazing mezcal/tequila drinks, and great vibes, both indoors and outdoors. Great music, too. Go here!

This bar is a lovely spot to grab a cocktail and some bites. We felt safe at the picnic tables and when going up to the bar to order. The cocktails are delicious and the queso, chips and guacamole, and tacos are amazing. Taking one star because the tacos didn't quite live up to my experiences at Taco Flats (sister restaurant on Burnet). But in terms of a drink and app place, you can't go wrong! read more

This place gives you a device to pay that's hand-held, and the first prompt is for a 25 or 26% tip, then the second option is 20%. Great method for when your customer base is a little tipsy and opts for the first tip amount without looking at it. The tip amount is based on the post-tax total. Drinks are good. read more

My favorite chill spot to grab a drink! Amazing tacos! Great outdoor space. Drinks are decently priced, the margarita is my go-to!

I was grabbing a drink in this little shack bar and like a Pavlovian dog the Jalapeno margarita triggered a craving for Taco Flat's "Chilango Shrimp" taco. Wouldn't you know it, there was a freakin' Taco Flats trailer right out back. The guy running it was super friendly and recommended some guacamole which really hit the spot. I had no idea there was a Taco Flats trailer, but they showed up in the right place at the right time. read more

Great drinks, great prices and the food truck makes the best fish tacos in town. I love sitting in the sun on their patio and sippin some margs. read more

Made a drink that they said was similar to a mojito. Needless to say, it tasted like a jar of pickle juice. When I came to the bar, they failed to accept a terrible drink, and instead stated "the drink was made as ordered, so if you want to buy something else, that is your choice." BTW this drink was 15% drank and had the consistency of wet kimchi trash. It tasted of over pickled water, which is something nobody should endure. I wish this place on no single human. 0 out of 5 stars. read more

I've been here a couple times now and it's great! I always get the quesadilla from the food truck and the crispy cheese that oozes onto the pan makes it so delicious. The drinks at the bar are your classics, I get the margarita. One time my margarita was missing an ingredient and it tasted bitter but the bartender was nice and made me a new one. read more

Decent chips and guac with large portions for the price. Only issue is that I didn't like the system of having to order at the bar if you're there for La Holly, mostly because it was very busy at the time I happened to be there. Would go back. read more

Great margaritas. We got queso and guacamole which was also good. It's a small bar so best for smaller groups.
