    Mango ceviche
    Mary L.

    Esmeralda was the person that was taking my order. After having a busy week, I decided to get out of my comfort zone and try the ceviche place. It is definitely a hole in the wall, and deserves more recognition. Parking is provided, and there is a patio where you can eat there. Upon bringing my mango ceviche home I opened it and was surprised how much they gave me. To give you some insight I just ate two tostadas and I still have more than half of the ceviche left. For the price point of $25, I do believe you get most of your money for some fresh ceviche. Super happy to have this food truck so close to home. Shout out to Esmeralda for being so sweet.

    Aguachiles & Ceviche
    Daisy L.

    YALL!! Im speechless. This is the best ceviche in Austin TX. Better than el Bucanero & Seareinas. The sauce was so good my favorite was the green one. The service is attentive. The owner would come out and check on us as well as brought our devices to scare away flys. Ambiance - obviously it's hot because it's outside there's no inside seats but I feel it makes eating the ceviche all the more refreshing.

    This was the best aguachile I've had in a long time! The sauces were bursting with flavor and had the perfect blend of spice. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and true to the recipe. I also loved the green sauce on the side - it was the perfect addition. Along with our entrees, we also ordered agua de sandia (watermelon water). This was also very delicious and perfect for the Texas heat! We also had the opportunity to meet the owner, Sergio. He stopped by our table to make sure we were enjoying everything and shared some background on the food, which made the experience even better. Overall, an amazing meal and I can't wait to come back!

    Amazing 10/10! Everything was absolutely delicious and the attention towards us was so sweet.

    Aquachiles  verdes and the tropical mariscos

    Coming from vegas this was our stop of choice for some good mariscos. The food and service are a 10/10. Although a little hidden away it's the best find thus far.

    Best mariscos & ceviche we have found! Super fresh & very flavorful. Good service & nice outdoor seating area.

    Picnic área

    The food was so delicious, genuinely tastes like it's fresh out the ocean and properly cleaned. The flavor is one of a kind especially the ceviche with the tostito chips ! The service is humble and comfortable, and the owner was down to earth as well as his employees. It is an outdoor space, that being said they offer fans to keep the flies away, you can also take bug spray just incase you're sensitive to bugs, but don't let nature ruin your experience it's a 10/10 spot. Btw! also byob ;) This is the kind of place where the taste and the advertisements online are not photoshopped, the quality presented matches reality.

    This place is a hidden gem! The set up outside is super cute and the ceviche is 10/10. Definitely better quality and taste than many Marisco spots in Austin. A little taste of Mexico. Sergio, the owner, is awesome, too! Very attentive and friendly.

    New seafood spot in Austin! Mis favoritos fueron los aguachiles verdes; riquísimos! Ni tiempo de tomarles foto. Prices are good & outdoor area is fresh as the food

    Aguaschiles verdes

    Hands down best mariscos in Austin! Super cute seating area and great service from the owner. The food is always fresh and so flavorful.

    Tostada la carreteta

    Very good authentic taste, refreshing taste. The owner is very attentive to their customers. Will definitely come back. Green sauce is fire!! Tasty and spicy. A must try in Austin!!

    Amazing service! They were very attentive. Food came out excellent. I had been craving authentic Mexican ceviche and this definitely surpassed my expectations. The black salsa was very flavorful and is now my favorite. Can't wait to come back in the summer to sit in the patio!

The bar definitely had plenty of TVs, so if you're sports person. You could easily catch a game while here. One of the Table tents, notified guest of a happy hour for oysters, which I'm not an oyster fan, but hey to each their own. Had to try out the clam chowder and it was one of the best clam chowder I've had quite some time. You could easily taste the clams at a really nice consistency not too thin, not too thick and I didn't even have to add any salt to it. It was just really tasty. When the clam trotter was delivered, I happened to look at what other plates were on the serving tray ready to go out in one of them happen to be this phenomenal salmon dish. I asked the gentleman what it was and he said it was his favorite dish on the menu, so of course had to try it the salmon dish absolutely out of this world the glaze on it side. It came with it. Everything just fit really well together and y'all that plate was clean by the time it went back. This place is definitely on my shortlist as I really would like to try some of their other plates again that salmon and the clam chowder really made an impression and highly rate this place if you're looking for a good seafood place in Austin. The vibe of the restaurant was laid-back, but also very open, clean setting clean lines plenty of light and they even had really clean restrooms. The staff also was very pleasant and friendly with every one I interacted with.

    My cousin is in town with her sister-in-law & daughter…read more They selected Truluck's for dinner. I was a little apprehensive for a couple of reasons: 1-I don't eat seafood. 2-I'm often leery of corporate/chain-style places. *Yes, I go to them but often times not good experiences. Let me tell you something, my concerns vanished almost as soon as we walked in. My cousin made reservations and we were sat immediately. They were pretty busy however, we had such a lovely time that we shut the place down. We were there for almost four hours! It's easy to get lost in conversation with a good glass of wine (or a bottle + several glasses after that lol), good company, food, and a place with great ambiance. The ambiance was spot on. The decor and lighting are exquisite. I can see why so many people choose Truluck's for a special occasion or date night. It's upscale & magical. Truly a premium dinner destination. Service was incredible. Talk about premium...we were treated like royalty. Curtis went above and beyond for us. Such a nice & sweet guy. Even at the end of the evening when we shut the place down, the manager took pics of us on our behalf and chatted with us as well. He didn't make us feel rushed or that we weren't wanted there any longer. Food: We had sides for the table that included asparagus, truffle fries, Lyonnaise potatoes, and Parker House-style rolls. All delicious. I had the tomato salad (minus dressing) with black pepper & it was perfect as a summer main. It paired wonderfully with the asparagus & bread. My cousin had the filet mignon cooked at medium. I had a couple of bites and that was one delicious steak. Her daughter had the Ora King Salmon and she absolutely loved it. She said it was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My boyfriend and my cousin's sister-in-law had the lobster bisque and they were in heaven. They couldn't stop talking about how good it was. Must have been because it had a strong lobster smell (remember, I don't do seafood). My boyfriend loves a good wedge salad so he had one with his soup. He was definitely jiving on its goodness. The sister-in-law had the jumbo lump crab cake and raved about the texture and flavor. As I mentioned earlier, the wine was flowing. However, I opted for still water with orange & lemon slices. We all had still with either citrus or cucumber slices. My boyfriend and I kind of shared a mini-Manhattan. By kind of I mean I had three sips. That was a proper Manhattan. Cheers to the incredible mixologists on staff. We rounded the evening out with two desserts for the table, Baked Alaska (see vids) & Key Lime Pie. Holy sugar were they good! I was pleasantly surprised by this experience and look forward to going back again. It's nice to be able to spend time with family in such a luxurious setting. Impeccable all around.

They all qualified for the happy hour except for the lobster pasta. Everything tasted amazing. I enjoyed the crab fingers the most because it was flavorful and left me wanting more.

I added an egg, and it made for a healthy, delicious, and satisfying lunch. My husband, however, ordered the gumbo, and that dish was unfortunately disappointing. It was watery, very salty, and came with barely any rice, so we ended up with a lot of salty stew left over. There also wasn't much crab or shrimp, and the seafood we did find was tough and overcooked. Based on other reviews, I can see why Mongers may still be worth another visit if you stick strictly to their seafood-focused dishes. But based on this experience, it felt a little too much like a gamble, so I'm not sure I'd personally rush back.

It was one of those moments were you kinda take a couple of bites, take it in...gently nod your head a couple of times, and softly say to yourself, "yep, yep, that's it". The other taco that made me feel like that was also a ribeye taco at La Buena Barra in MTY, MX. It's one of those things that changes your mood, your emotional state etc. It really was that good. Now that we have that out of the way, how was the other food? Excellent! We have four dishes and I'd would rank them: 1) catchetada 2) (tied) cochinita pibil & ceviche 4) fish tacos Both the cochinita pibil and ceviche were excellent - loved how the meat was wrapped in a banana leaf. The ceviche tasted so fresh with such interesting flavors to it. Similar to Suerte (which I loved) the tortillas are great. The 4th ranked fish tacos were fine, but didn't stand out that much ( and yes, i know, this probably isn't the joint for fish tacos) The space, both inside and out, was beautiful, the service is attentive and friendly (incl. hostess & servers), good drinks. Lastly, I have to say the value - what you get for the price ($15 taco notwithstanding) is some of the best in ATX! Este is one i can't wait to return to and would recommend and bring family / friends visiting. Can't wait to come back and try many other things as this is now one of my favorite restaurants

    Completely different experience from when they first opened!…read more We had reservations but had to wait a little while before our table became available. We didn't mind, but Arielle, the Maître d', made the experience even better by offering us a complimentary beverage. It was unexpected and such a thoughtful gesture. As soon as we were seated, Johnathan took excellent care of us. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided fantastic recommendations. We tried the este ceviche, tuna tiradito, quesadilla de hongos, and pescado a la crema--every dish was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. The Garden G&T was refreshing and perfectly crafted. They now offer a daily happy hour from 5-6 p.m., and on Fridays from 12-5 p.m. they feature specials on select bites, $10 margaritas, and 25% off bottles of wine. That definitely ensures I'll be back for many more visits!
