    Great bar in East Austin. Quaint and small but amazing vibes. The cocktails are fantastic. I personally recommend the El Diablo if you enjoy drinks that are a bit spicy. The bartenders are friendly and there is great ambience as well.

    My boyfriend and I had some friends in town and decided to check out La Holly. We found free parking easily on the street and walked inside. It's a pretty small space inside the bar area, and it was packed, so it was a while before we were served. We were in no rush, so this didn't bother any of us! We ordered and then found a picnic table that was free out back. The space itself is cool, but I was a little disappointed by the drinks, which I felt were bland and a bit boring. I hope to go back another time to have a different experience and change my opinion, because it looks like a great spot!

    Cute little bar on the corner of east 6th and perdernales. It's in a small converted house and one of the few remnants of the original neighborhood. The bar is focused on mezcal cocktails though they have a full bar so it's not entirely specialized like other mezcal bars. There's also ample outdoor seating that faces perdanales street that is visible from the street and sidewalk so this place is really popular when the weather is nice outside and right after work. They have a happy hour two that shaves off about $2 a cocktail. There's also an onsite food truck that you can order from just scan the QR code and pay from the app and pick up the food from the truck. They serve tacos and chips. I would say the tacos are just okay so I wouldn't come here just for the food.

    Attended a beautiful and festive Dia de los Muertos Patron event. Staff was friendly and made delicious cocktails! Perfect space for this tasting event. Intimate and cozy. I will be back to visit during regular business hours.

    This place is very different. They come in waves where they will be packed and then empty then packed again. There doesn't seem to be a gimmick or anything else that bring people in beyond a chill vibe and drinks that make people happy. It's a great warm up spot for sure.

    The Pirata from heaven

    Omggg I HAVE to talk about how DAMN GOOD the food is!!! We came in on Friday night (8/20) around 7pm so it was hoppin', but luckily we were able to find a seat inside. It's pretty loud in there, small space, filled with people, loud music -- we didn't want to sit outside (still too damn hot), so be prepared for that loud vibe. I was standing in front of the bar looking at a menu when the two guys sitting at the table next to me just randomly and simply stated, "get the pirata." I took it as a sign from the universe and that's exactly what I did. Totally straying from my normal go to (fish or chicken) the protein here was beef fajita so I was a little nervous. But all was calm in the world when I took that first bite. This taco is THE SHIT. Reminded me of my grandpa's cookouts when I was a kid. I text my Mom immediately, sending her pics saying, "Apa's relative must have made this meat." So full of flavor!! We also ordered the chicken quesadillas which were delicious with the cheese ring on the outside. My guy got the fish taco and said it was good, too! I will be back, COUNT ON IT!

    Great bartenders and the mescalitas were on point. I also enjoyed a nice craft beer on tap from Zilker and there was an awesome food truck out back in the patio area. Great atmosphere inside and out and service was good too.

    What are their happy hour times? :)

    They are closed Monday and Tuesday, right? No hours are posted on their site and I know they used to be closed those days.

    I believe they are open on Monday and Tuesday evenings, although DeeDee food truck out back is closed on Monday and Tuesday all day.

Some tables could use a cleaning in between guests, but it was fairly clean. You order your food at the counter and they call you when it is ready. I ordered the grilled steak taco, rotisserie chicken taco and special taco of the week (pork dumpling smash taco). We also ordered the elote and queso to share. The elote was good, but very creamy and a bit heavy. The queso was good but tbh I prefer Torchy's. The grilled steak taco was a bit underwhelming, I wanted it to have more flavor, it just tasted like beef and cheese. The chicken had good flavor and the special weekly taco was enjoyable and interesting, not like any taco I have had before. There is plenty of variety for people including those with dietary restrictions. My friends ordered two tacos each and I was full after 3 tacos so if you are not a big eater stick with two.

Like your girl can eat tacos but I had never been one to be like let's go get some cause I am craving them. But man cuantos tacos can definitely get me saying I want and crave them! I thought prices were pretty fair at 2.75 a piece. After much researchon what to eat in Austin this is one of the spots that I saved as a bookmark.While I was in Austin, a foodie friend on Instagram shared with me her list of recommendations since she just moved to Austin not too long ago. I knew that Ihad to stop by Cuantos Tacos, I mean how often do you see a Michelin BibGourmand taco truck. We came here for dinner but it was cold, sprinkling, anddark out. Tables they had were wet from the sprinkle.  My family only triedthe suadero taco ($2.75 per taco) but OMG it was the best thing we ate duringour trip in Austin. It was super memorable, the meat was soft and the salsaadded the perfect kick to it. It's been a month, my husband and I are still daydreamingabout these tacos.  Tacos are madepretty fast, we had to order tacos 3x since they were so good, we kept wantingmore. Wait time was super reasonable. Staff are nice and if I lived closer Ican see myself coming here every taco Tuesday! This definitely is a must go tospot if you like tacos.   Tips: *Small parking lot *Outdoor seating only *Credit card accepted *Porta Potty in theback (night time it is pretty dark and hard to see) *They cater. *You can also orderonline for pick up. Tips: Credit card and cash accepted. Outdoor seating option only. Restroom is port a potties. Located in an area with other food trucks.

Making them costra style to add cheese for 50c is a nice touch too. The picnic seating kinda leaves a lot to be desired, my table was very broken. Staff is friendly and helpful in the truck!

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).
