Stumbled upon this restaurant really; and it was pretty good - the cheese with the carne asada was fire! very good! Ordered the meats fajitas.... tasted VERY good but the ration of meat is small compared to other places....but all the other plates were fine with quantity. The Meat Fajitas does come with a bunch of their stuff as well, tortilla, guacamole, black baked beans, yellow rice, shredded cheese and sour cream. The place has a cool vive and the booths are very comfortable. Service was pretty good and server provided with great recommendations. read more

No frills Tex-Mex in a festive setting, tucked in downtown Austin. Complimentary chips & Salsa to start. The Steak Enchiladas ($22) were wonderful and hearty. Tres Leches was marvelous, and the margaritas were fine. The staff were also friendly and wonderful. We sat at an outdoor patio because we had a puppy with us. read more

Despite, or more appropriately, because of the disappointment that I have in 6th Street in Austin, I ended up at Michelada's only because I was craving something local, and I couldn't find a darn thing on 6th Street besides four dollar pints and shot specials. 6th Street is a wasteland when it comes to food, and I really needed to eat something before I had a couple of beers and listened to some live music. So I saw Michelada's a half a block off of 6th Street like an oasis in the food desert. I often find that five star reviews come from places where I have low expectations. That's the case here. While I didn't expect much, I completely recommend this place if you're in the same situation as me. And if you do stop in, you will not be disappointed in the brisket tacos. Simple, minimalistic, straight up tasty. Pairs nicely with the house margarita and the Jalisco Cerveza. You're welcome. read more

I was looking for a Tex-Mex place close to the Hilton Hotel. This Place was recommended to me, and although I don't think it's full-fledged Tex-Mex, there are more street tacos and fajitas. Some great looking burgers and some other things that are not what I would consider true TexMex However, service was top-notch from the receptionist to the bartender and the rest of the weight stuff! After figuring out what I wanted to eat, I was served an excellent margarita, the El Presidente. The flavor balance was terrific, just a little bit on what I would consider the small size. Let's go to a bigger glass, folks. I ended up going with the chicken and beef fajitas, which were served smoldering hot. The beef was cooked to perfection, as was the chicken. There were plenty of sides, including guacamole, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and an extra tortilla to finish out the fajita meat, onions, and peppers. The presentation and flavor were magnificent and delivered on all points. I would highly recommend stopping here. read more

Went there for a meal before going out and while the vibe is just your typical Tex Mex restaurant, I was really struck by how kind the staff all were. They were incredibly attentive and engaged in super friendly conversation with me and even gave me advice for an upcoming vacation. The food quality is solid as well, I appreciate that my burrito came with all the adornments on top - definitely recommend getting it with steak read more

Recommend downtown Austin stop. Easy to find, laid back vibe, and outdoor seating on good days. I was in town solo looking for a decent brunch and I place I could watch Sunday football. Found it! Not a large bar but with three TVs I was set. And the brunch was impressive. Big fan of New Mexican huevos rancheros and decided to try a Tex-Mex version. Quite good--everything is served on top of 2 crispy tostados, with the black beans having a bit of a kick. The eggs were perfect. A rich sauce complements, not overwhelms. I added a side of bacon and a house margarita. Superb brunch. Next time I'm here on a weekend I will be back! read more

Micheladas Cafe y Cantina ("Micheladas") is a somewhat classy classic Tex-Mex restaurant located on Trinity St. between 5th & 6th St. in DT Austin. Walking around before a work-event this evening, I stumbled upon it happenstance (I usually use Yelp(!) for assistance, but alas, my app privileges have been deactivated - thinking of big-tech censorship ala Meta, drawing parallels from Jeremy Stoppelman to Zuck). I guess Yelp(!) now discriminates against meat-eaters. In any event, I digress! It's a good restaurant with a great atmosphere and attentive staff. Since this is my first time here, I can't elaborate much more than that. I would be more than happy to recommend this place to friends, family and acquaintances. read more

Food and service are great. Love the atmosphere. Everytime I come to Austin it is my favorite place to eat breakfast and enjoy the morning.

Hosted our clients on the venue side of Micheladas in the Coppertank. Everything was seamless and prompt for our guests. A/C was keeping us cool in this hot Texas summer weather. Food was delicious with chicken and beef fajitas and verde cheese enchiladas. My new fav enchiladas there! Brenda and her staff do an amazing job! We will be back for our next event! read more

Though I was impressed by the ambience and the food, I noticed a bug in my drink when I was halfway done. Instead of the server offering to comp the item or replacing it with something, he basically treated me like I was shit out of luck . Very distasteful and disappointing. read more

Al pastor and margarita's were fantastic. Great ambience with the old brick walls. Service was great.

Walked in for happy hour and decided to leave since it wasn't offered. On the way out the staff spoke in Spanish about their disappointment about us using the facilites and deciding to leave. They were beyond rude to us. read more

On our way home from the airport after a few days in Las Vegas and my wife saw this place on her IG. We've walked on 6th street many a time and never realized that it was this close, Trinity between 5th/6th. It's a nice place, very authentic and lots of seating. The reviews of poor service didn't materialize while we were here. Drink order, chips and salsa and the food order were all very timely. Our waitress was attentive and service was overall very good. My wife ordered that pastor tacos. I had nachos with pastor, both dishes were very good. The chips were fresh, and the salsa tasty. My wife loved how they prepared the tortillas for her tacos and her only complaint was she would have loved to get a side of beans. She said that after tasting my nachos. The beans were delicious, and everything on the nacho plate was so good. No quality issues. I almost forgot, we ordered a couple of Michi's and they were nice and spicy. Definitely give the Michi's a try. Parking is all based on what you can find on the street. My take on this place, it's not a "locals place" it's perfect for the hotel and visiting 6th street crowd. I might bring friends from out of town if we were here for an event but it's priced for visitors. The poor reviews I read had to do with service and food quality, not an issue for us. read more

Walked here from the convention center while at a work conference. Whatever you do, don't miss this place! The food was so flavorful and outstanding. Service was slow, however, they went from 5 customers to 50+ in just a few minutes when we all came in. I've already told my husband to expect a day trip one weekend just so we can twin. read more

Maybe because I had 2 glasses of wine like 2 hours before but the margarita flight was good and strong. I asked for on the rocks and I'm 2 mini margaritas in and whew.. My husband and I split the beef,chicken, and shrimp and it was enough food and delicious. It isn't the best at all but still good. The service was fast and top tier. We came at like 5pm so that might be why but it is a great restaurant. read more

Service and food were fine, nothing out of the ordinary. But the drinks (especially the Topo Chico ones) are a joke and have no alcohol. They also don't taste good. Final straw is to have the audacity to charge customers an additional $8 for chicken inside a $14 quesadilla. A $24 quesadilla that tastes like Taco Bell with 50 cents worth of chicken. I know rent is high but don't rip off the customer to make ends meet. Area is shady too at night. read more

This is a must stop for me every time I am in Austin. Service is always great here and one of the waiters remembered me from back in June of this year. I love Migas and this place does it well and better than my go to breakfast spot back home. It is something about the touch of heat that's added with the jalapeños in the eggs. The green hot sauce is another added heat layer and less is more. I also ordered a house made soda with pineapple and coconut flavor. Very refreshing! I really enjoy sitting in the comfortable booths as they create a nice intimate atmosphere. They also have a small patio as well if that's your jam. read more

I'm not understanding the low ratings here. We stopped by for lunch on Tuesday and the food and service were outstanding. The salsa and chips were some of the best I've had. Light crispy warm chips and the salsa had a kick. My fajitas were sizzling when they arrived with a healthy serving of grilled onions and all the fixings. I had plenty left over for dinner and they were still delicious, even at room temperature. This is a restaurant I will visit again when I return to Austin. read more

We went here on a Thursday around 7 PM. It wasn't busy but more people started to flow in as the night went on. Service experience was solid! We ordered the Queso Esperanza. It was amazing. Perfect texture and steak was delicious. I had the Pastor build your own tacos and they were delicious too. Get it with the corn tortillas, it's the best way to go. There was no room for desert as the portions were sizable and chips and salsa also filled us up. Would recommend for a date night or group of friends to enjoy together. I also liked the decor and paintings. Simple but felt authentic (as much as I could tell). read more

The place is cute, but the food and the service isn't good. I was in town for work and a friend picked me up so we could catch up over lunch. The place wer were originally trying to go to had a 45 minute wait, this was across the street and we walked right in. They seemed to have a lot of staff, but we waited at least 10 minutes for anyone to come to the table. She never told us her name and we put in our order for everything immediately, not knowing when she would come back. The food took a while to come out, but by then we had chips and salsa. Talking was a bit of a challenge because it was LOUD in there. The music wasn't bad it was just too loud for a sit down restaurant. When the food finally came out, I got the wrong entree and it was not hot. Everything, from the salsa, to the rice, beans, enchilada sauce, the overwhelming flavor was black pepper. And I like pepper, but everything was flat. And again, not hot except for the black beans. I ended up with steak enchiladas even though I ordered chicken and the meat was very tender. When the waitress finally came round to check on us, she asked how everything was and I told her that I got the wrong entree but we didn't have time for it to be remade, her response was "Oh I thought you ordered steak". Maybe if it were not so loud, she could have heard me. I was charged for the more expensive entree, and frankly the prices are high, even for downtown. Especially for what you get. I didn't check Yelp before coming here and it looks like our experience is not the exception. We didn't try a cocktail, it was mid-day, but maybe this is a better spot for drinks and apps. read more

Brisket fajitas and salsa were top notch I would highly recommend and definitely return

Attentive and friendly service. They do not spare the spice, so if you are into spicy, this place is for you! Laid back, authentic Mexican atmosphere. Micheladas are great, filling, and have some spice. Camarones Diablos was very flavorful and spicy (you see the trend here?). Would be happy to visit again. read more

Came in from out of town and ate here for breakfast with the wife. The food was amazing and the customer service was even better. Very friendly staff and we wanted for nothing. Always kept our waters full and our finished plates cleared. They impressed us so much we decided to go back for dinner that night. Dinner was so amazing! Everything came out quick and was soooo fresh. The flavors were on point and the drinks were strong haha Again we were blown away by the customer service. We would definitely make this a weekly spot if we lived in town. The ambiance was so homey and soft. read more
