Atmosphere [[HIGHLIGHT]]This bohemian gem captures the perfect natural vibe with a wonderful outdoor feel. It's exactly the kind of welcoming, laid-back space that makes you want to relax and enjoy the vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service Service was attentive and friendly overall. The only minor note: we would have appreciated more frequent plate changes between courses. Food We discovered some of the best gluten-free cuisine in Austin here...hands down. Every dish showcased fresh ingredients and thoughtful flavor balance: Guacamole: Rich with a well-judged cumin note that enhanced without overpowering Ceviche: A perfectly light appetizer without being aggressively citrusy or fishy Tempura de Pescado Tacos: The standout of the meal. The fish was pristine, each element (sauce, fresh greens, fish) came together seamlessly Duck Panucho Tacos: night quite as impressive but still great textural contrast and vibrant fresh flavors. We're already planning to try the wagyu option next visit Churros: A stellar finish with three complementary sauces. Crispy exterior, soft interior, and excellent flavor Beverages The margaritas were exceptional! Top-notch quality that rounded out the meal perfectly. Overall This was easily our favorite restaurant in Austin. Highly recommended. read more

This is a must have in Austin! I take all my visitors here. Nomades food is fully gluten free and seed oil free, generally just clean. I always get the Tostadas con Salsas, Wagyu Barbacoa Tacos, and Tempura de Pescado Tacos. (Plus they have a a happy hour right now, two tacos and a marg for $10!!!!) Their service is always great, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]walking into their restaurant feels like you're walking into a restaurant in Tulum.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 recommend Nomade read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place for a vibey dinner! Had great music and loved all the decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter was also awesome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside on a hot day and it wasn't too bad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To start we tried the sikil pak and loved it! The chips were perfect and the dip was similar to a pesto. Really enjoyed the juicy tomatoes it comes with too. For entrees and small plates we tried the fish tacos, the fried avocado tacos, barbacoa tacos, the duck tostada, and the shrimp dish. Really loved the shrimp and the barbacoa tacos. The other tacos were good but a little dry. The fish and avocado tacos are the same except for the protein inside. The duck tostada was good, not great. I did love the hot sauce that came with it and was putting it on my tacos. For dessert we got the tres leches and it was delicious! Came for a birthday dinner and they bring out a sparkler with your dessert. Overall, the vibes were great and the food was good but didn't eat anything that amazed me. Definitely want to come back for their taco happy hour! read more

Grabbed an early dinner at Nomade with a friend. We did not have reservations but were still able to get a table for two in their gorgeous, covered outdoor seating area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant transported me to Tulum with its airy, beautiful space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Started off with some mezcalitas, which were somewhat watered down. Shared the coconut burrata and got a plate of fish tacos as my main. The coconut burrata was certainly unique and tasty, but the bread it was served with was flavorless and on the harder side. The fish tacos were presented beautifully, and were delicious. I appreciated the fresh corn tortillas, authentic to Yucatán flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Generous portion sizes, friendly + attentive service, and a lovely ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall a great dining experience! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]2 years later, the place still looks cool, though a little more worn off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They started a great happy hour, $10 for a margarita and 2 tacos (they are smaller but delish) The tequila ceviche was super weird, the foam was pretty but yuk, but once the foam went down into liquid, it turned out very good. Service was nice, friendly and professional. Highly recommend for HH! Pro-tip: if you're not big on fish, you can ask to switch your second taco to meat, and vice versa. read more

Nomade - Tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Food was fantastic, service was on point, love the vibe, I felt like I was in a resort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband was excited it was gluten free kitchen bc he has an allergy. The server/kitchen was even accommodating to his dairy allergy as well. Stand out dishes were the tuna tostadas, and Waygu tacos, and the brussel sprouts I know just Brussels but with the stone fruit it gave it a sweet and earthy flavor I also really loved the hiramasa ceviche. I loved having the pineapple in it compared to just lemon or lime. The coconut lime sorbet was nice and zesty. The churros were really good but kept falling apart as we dipped. There is free parking directly behind the restaurant or on the street. The garage next door was $18 for 2 hours read more

Always a great time! Parking - yes, free parking behind the restaurant and if it's full across the street there's a cheap parking garage Food - upscale, more tapas vibes, unique and occasionally roaring menu. Flavors are fresh, balanced, and haven't run into a menu option I haven't liked. Drinks - spicy marg here is great! Fun drink options, also plenty of wine options. Service - friendly and attentive. We've been here multiple times and it's always been a positive experience. read more

OVERVIEW: Decent (if not overpriced) food if you go during happy hour or for their new Friday lunch deal like we did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing spectacular or anything to write home about, but not a bad spot for some beachy vibes and expensive tacos.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is casual and quick. $25 3-course lunch special with $1 margs (max 3 per person) on Fridays! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, small lot behind the restaurant and street parking. - Reservations? Yes, recommended but not required. We walked in as a party of 2 on a Friday around 11:45am and were able to snag a table immediately. - Happy hour? Yes, they do have HH specials as well as the Friday lunch deal (as of 4/3/26). FOOD RATINGS: - Guac (3/5): Pretty mediocre as far as guac can go. Tastes like the premade stuff from the store. Nothing special. - Crudo (3/5): Not a bad crudo. Pleasantly surprised at how decent it was. Especially as part of the lunch course! - Brisket taco (4/5): Hate that everything has the buzz word "Wagyu" now, but this was a good taco. Generously filled. Nice spicy kick. - Fried fish taco (4/5): Despite looking like a black turd, this was pretty tasty. Tortillas were good. Toppings were good. They have a super spicy salsa available upon request. - Coconut lime sorbet (4/5): Refreshing and as expected. $1 margs can't be beat! They did taste like a mixer though. You get what you pay for. read more

Yucatán-inspired restaurant. Tulum inspired design. Also known to be 100% gluten-free and seed-oil free for those with dietary sensitivities. There is a plant-based and vegan menu, but it's not entirely clear as they are blurred on the menu and a guest who doesn't eat dairy had selection of the menu after being assured it was "OK". They did the best they could to own the mistake, but it's something to be mindful of. I am a consistent guest here. As the food and service is predictable. Something about knowing what you're going to get from the experience and it doesn't deviate with highs and lows. I've had a lot of the menu, but I need to explore other dishes I've not had. I enjoy what Chef Jay is doing in the kitchen. read more

I want to be here every Friday for their lunch special! Literally the best three course deal you will get in Austin for $25. I had the ceviche, the Wagyu taco and the fish taco. For dessert, that passion fruits, sorbet, and the coconut pineapple flan were an absolute banger. The service was absolutely amazing. We sat outside. It literally felt like we're sitting in a sexy bar at a beach in Tulum. And that wasn't all the best part. They had margaritas for a dollar during lunch. And it wasn't their bottom shelf tequila. I expected to have multiple but only needed one drink to feel everything I needed to feel . Never seen a deal this amazing. read more

If you love tacos/Mexican food, I think you got to try Nomade! We came here for a Saturday lunch and there were quite a lot of people so we had to wait 15mins to be seated. Luckily, we found parking behind the restaurant but it didn't seem like they have a lot of parking available in general. I ordered 3 tacos and they were all amazing and delicious! The chorizo and Castecan tacos were so juicy. I also love that the Frijole taco is full of lean cut meat. I did enjoy the Paunches Bendict but it's a bit on the heavier side so it would be better if you are sharing with someone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love their decoration inside and outside, makes me feel like I'm not in Austin anymore![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Highly recommended to sit outside to enjoy the food if it's not too hot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Nomade serves up chill Tulum energy! It's a very aesthetic restaurant. Majority of the restaurant is outdoors and open air which is lovely and it's completely weathered with fans, heated lamps, etc, I started with a pineapple mimosa ($8 per glass) , the size of the drink is odd and it'd be better slightly chilled. For apps we shared the guacamole ($18) which was the best thing they served for brunch! Overpriced but delicious.. the bowl it's served in gets you one or two bites. The fennel was such a nice touch. The Tuna Crudo ($22) was terrible, I was so dissatisfied with the presentation and taste. The mint was too strong and left a lot to be desired. I love Crudo and expected more from such an upscale place. Masa waffles ($17) were good but need to be served fresh and HOT, these were warm at best. Wagyu taco ($9 per taco) and wagyu birria ($20) were delicious, tender and flavorful! You can tell tacos and Mexican food in general is where they excel. There weren't any unique or interesting ingredients that elevated the meal overall. And attempts fell short. Our server was super attentive and friendly! I'll be back to give it one more try (dinner menu) in spring or summer! I would love to try a more expansive menu with more quality bites. read more

Nomade lead us off our Matcha Half Marathon tasting trail, but was nonetheless one the best drinks I had all day. Nomade served a hibiscus mimosa drink minus the alcohol. The drink was aesthetically pleasing to view and even more delightful to drink. I was reminded of the hotels in Cairo and Luxor Egypt, where they brought you a refreshing hibiscus welcome drink upon check-in into the hotel. While not Matcha, it was overwhelming delicious. I could have this hibiscus drink all day long. Nomade is a convergence of Zen, open concept and totally earthy environment. It has a retreat like atmosphere with the neutral colors and wicker basket lighting along with gravel floors in some areas of the restaurant. Our server was super friendly and extremely welcoming. Some people you meet, you feel like you have known them your entire life. This was the feeling today. read more

WOW! Had my birthday dinner here and can't wait to go back! What a special place! Everything from the fresh ceviche to the mezcal cocktails to the great service were above and beyond. We shared a bunch of small plates: COCONUT FLATBREAD: wood-fired flatbread $8, TOSTADAS CON SALSAS: piña pipian/salsa verde/charred habanero masienda heirloom corn tostadas $8, GRILLED MAYAN OCTOPUS: guajillo harrisa glazed/crispy potato yucatecan pico/cilantro $24, HIRAMASA CEVICHE: dutch yellowtail/mezcal lime espuma pineapple/mint $24, TUNA TOSTADA: spicy tuna/avocado/smoked trout roe pickled mustard seed/crema de ajo $20 and more. The hiramasa ceviche and tuna tostada were stand out specials to me. I loved the fresh raw fish in the unique mezcal sauce! The tuna tostada was just a perfect bite. These are all my favorite things. I loved the El Yucatecan --Reposado Tequila, Ensamble Mezcal, Jalisco Orange Habanero, Lime $17. I got it without the habanero and it was no problem to omit it. I also enjoyed mezcal margaritas after this amazing drink. Maybe my new favorite place for a mezcal marg. Our server brought out complimentary desserts for my birthday! Churros and tres leches to share. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had heaters on the patio and it was super comfortable in February.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am so excited that we decided to try this place and can't wait to go again soon! read more

We were celebrating a special event and decided to spurge on a nice meal. Nomade was the perfect choice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating inside is very tight and limited, but we enjoyed the ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great aside from the food taking a while to come out. For appetizers, we had the tostadas and coconut flatbread. I enjoyed trying the different sauces that accompanied the tostadas. We also had the tuna tostada, duck panucho, and pork belly tacos. Everything was delicious, and we left the meal stuffed. read more

I give the service 5 stars, the food 3 stars, and the ambiance 4 stars. It felt wrong giving 3 stars so I'm rounding to 4. The food was ok. I'd give everything a B. It was good. No complaints but nothing was exceptional and I didn't find myself going back for another bite of anything in particular. The food was on the pricier side. For 2 adults and 2 kids we spend $238 (including tip) I would not voluntarily come back. But I'm glad we tried it once. read more

We just finished Sunday brunch at Nomade in Austin, and it was truly one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. The moment you sit down, it feels like you've been transported to a peaceful beach in Mexico -- serene, lush, and beautifully designed. The whole place has this calm, jungle-escape vibe that makes the meal feel like a mini vacation. The food was incredibly fresh. The fruit, the salsas, everything tasted bright, clean, and perfectly prepared. We kept saying how delicious every bite was. Our server, Sara, made the experience even better. She was warm, attentive, and went out of her way to make a special chocolate milk for our daughter -- such a thoughtful touch that meant so much to us. We left relaxed, happy, and already planning when we can come back. If you're looking for a beautiful, peaceful, delicious brunch spot in Austin, Nomade is it. read more

Nomade is elevated Mexican food mixed with other cuisines. I think the dishes are works of art, not only in taste and the melding of flavors, but in originality and presentation. Having just flown in from south Florida, I was hot, thirsty, and in need of refreshment so I decided to get the melon agua frescas and it was sweet and delicious. I followed that with the Pais Vasco Spanish white. They have a good list of crudo raw seafood and I tried the scallop aguachile which was excellent - tangy/citrusy and slightly sweet with thin slices of scallop and herbs. For mains, I tried the lubina pohchu (baja striped bass) and the cochinita panucho (shredded pork) and really enjoyed them. The shredded pork was spooned on rounded crispy black bean stuffed tortillas with vegetables on top. The striped bass had a crispy skin topped with very delicate thin crisps of curry coconut and (I think) cilantro and basil herbs over peppers and other vegetables in an orange colored sauce. But I have to say that the jaiba frita (soft shell crab) was my favorite. It was beautifully presented lightly masa fried and claws propped up over a round slice of jimaca with what I think was a green avocado sauce - totally unique and inventive. I washed it down with the Ribera which was not too heavy. My server Matt was very helpful and friendly and honestly I couldn't keep up with all the ingredients he listed and mentioned - he was a super nice guy. Laid back refined atmosphere. Nomade has gotten praise from multiple sources and I was lucky to have decided to eat there almost on a whim as I was walking by (after of course checking its good rating on Yelp). I was hoping to sit at the bar but it was all "reserved" even tho no-one sat there the entire time. No matter, this type of restaurant I think is part of what recent Austin is known for. read more

Born and raised Austinite here and I typically never write reviews this bad about my home town restaurant because I'm a total supporter of my locals bars and restaurants. The occasion was my sister's bday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'll start with the ONLY two pros I have- the drinks and the atmosphere were really great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cons- parking, the food, and my guy in the photo! We started off with drinks which he made great recommendation on. The spicy tuna tostadas tasted like cheap buffet fish at best. The "WAGYU" tacos tasted like something from an off grid food truck in a back alleyway in BFE. The sweet bbq sauce they put on these "wagyu" tacos is so overpowering that you can't taste anything else. They tasted like a cheap pulled pork taco at best. The food is also EXTREMELY overpriced. The worst part of this experience is that when we requested the check my brother and myself asked if we split the bill. My guy in the photos says absolutely! What he FAILED to tell us was that gratuity was already included so we added an extra 18% each to the final bill. We were not aware of this until we checked out receipts in the parking garage. He basically robbed up blind and said we were his best table of the night trying to hype us up and catch us off guard which he totally succeeded in. We made it very clear we were first timers. Total scam artist. This place is NOT 4.5 start. 3 starts at best and that's me being generous. read more

Sunday brunch was perfect! Our server, Sarah, was so kind and made sure we had a great meal. She knew the menu well and was able to make recommendations and was quick to anticipate refills of salsa and drinks. There were 5 of us and it was the first visit to Nomade for all of us. I think this is the first meal in quite a while where we all look at each other at the end of the meal and just agree it was great, no notes. The salsas and guac were very good. I especially loved the green salsa. The guac was fresh and creamy. My tuna crudo and esquites were delicious. The whole menu is gluten free and seed oil free. I think that's why we all felt satisfied and not stuffed by the end of the meal. The food is thoughtfully made. My husband had the Wagyu Tetela Birria which came with perfectly poached eggs. It's rare a restaurant can make them correctly. I had two mimosas and they did not skimp on the wine, which I love. The hibiscus juice was a unique offering for the mimosas. You will love it for a slightly sweeter mimosa. The outdoor atmosphere is beautiful like a beach resort. Don't let the fact that it's mostly outside deter you, there are carefully placed fans and a cover over all the outdoor spaces to keep you dry and cool. There was a DJ on Sunday and I appreciated the fun vibes with the volume being such that we could still talk without shouting. I really can't wait to go back and try more dishes! read more

R U KIDDING ME?! I'm usually hesitant about "fancy" spots in Austin, but WOW--Nomade completely blew me away. It's a bit under the radar for how incredible it is. Every dish we ordered nailed both presentation and flavor, and the wildest part? Everything was gluten-free and never missed a beat despite differing from the gluten standard at all restaurants. I'm not the biggest fan of Mexican food, as I feel all Mexican dishes are essentially the same. Nomade falls a bit out of this category. I'd call this more New Mexican, elevated Mexican. The attention to detail was stunning, the plating was beautiful and the flavors are so thoughtfully curated. Portions are tapas-style, making it perfect to share with the table to have a little bit of everything. If you're looking to impress, I would highly suggest for a date night! It feels like you're in Tulum when in reality, it's in your own backyard. read more

Came in for dinner with a friend on a Wednesday evening. Great menu, all gluten-free and no seed oils, perfect for this gluten-free pescatarian. Fun menu concept, most items meant to be shared.

Beautiful atmosphere on their weatherized patio. The server was friendly albeit a little slow. read more

Nomade is a stunning mostly-outdoor restaurant on South 1st that really transports you to a beautiful beige oasis in Mexico. There is plenty of street parking nearby. There's only a handful of indoor seating, but that's okay, the outdoor area is perfectly designed so that you don't even feel like you're on the busy street. Everything is tucked away with curtains and tropical decorations. With the mister fans on, it is really pleasant to have dinner here even in 100 degree weather. The service was super nice as well. Onto the food, from best to worst! Castecan - pork belly bowl with a variety of veggies. The pork belly is incredibly tender and well seasoned. I love the fresh veggies to go with it. This is a great main course. Hamachi Ceviche - pineapple, mezcal yellowtail raw dish. This I come back for. The balance of fruity, fresh, and smoky is so nice. Each component mixes so well together. Tempura De Pescado - a bit messy to share since it is fish wrapped in a fried layer and also in gem lettuce. Really tasty and unique take on fish. Wagyu Barbaco Tacos - comes with three. Amazing tamarind coca cola sauce. Jaiba Frita - fried soft shell crab. With the bit of basil and chili, it almost has a thai twist. Only comes with two tacos, so it can be difficult to share. Sikil Pak - pumpkin seed hummus. I would give this a slightly above average score. It's not quite as smooth as a typical hummus, and tastes very Whole-Foods-healthy due to the pumpkin seed. I probably wouldn't get this again. read more

Nomade certainly has the happiest of happy hours!!! The menu looked fabulous regular and happy hour! We ordered almost everything on the happy hour menu. It was a great deal! It's a neat way to try a little bit of everything to explore what Nomade has to offer. The venue itself it small and intimate which I throughly enjoyed. We started with the pumpkin seed hummus. It's a big portion. It had a tomato relish on top but just with the tomatoes were cut smaller so I can get more bites with the hummus. We had the crudo, ceviche, campecheana (my fav of the three). Each were refreshing and mouths exploded with flavor! For our meat option we had the Duck Panucho. Oh wow - it was the tastiest of all we tried. A little spicy and a little sweet but not where the sweet overpowers the dish. Just the right amount! Our server Brittany guided us through the evening the short time we were there. I'm brining all my friends back to Nomade! There is more to explore on the menu! read more

We went for Sunday HH from 4:30-6 and had a great time! We had mezcal palomas for $5 each for HH! We started with the hamachi ceviche - 10/10 absolutely amazing - no notes - just get it! We also got the tuna tostada - I meant to order the tuna crudo on HH but I think our server misheard us - either way it was only $4 more and it was still great - tuna and avocado crema and tomatoes on a tostada. We got the duck panucho which is only one per order so maybe order two if you want your own bc these were delicious - super flavorful! We tried the barbacoa tacos - amazing we added an extra one to make it 4 for $8 which seems steep considering 3 tacos is $19 but these were great flavor and super cute tiny tacos - great tortilla. We also tried shrimp on happy hour as well - the mango/red onion slaw and sauces were tasty but I think the shrimp were a bit overcooked for me personally - my husband still ate them but I am super picky with shrimp. We ended with the churros - absolutely amazing - also 10/10 get these!! Overall service was great, food was really good - some hits for me but also would not get the shrimp again - the interior is beautiful and there is plenty of outdoor seating too. read more

I've been to Nomade twice now and I've enjoyed both experiences. This time we came for their happy hour and taco tasting for $35. You get 5 tacos and each one we received was a 10/10. They put so much thought into each bite and the presentation was amazing. The servers were also very knowledgeable about each taco giving us suggestions on how to eat it. My favorite has to be the pork belly taco hands down! And because it was also happy hour we got some tasty margaritas as well as some tostadas and salsas to share. Definitely recommend Nomade and I will be back! read more

This place is a solid 4, the food is just outstanding! First, I absolutely love the interior. It's very cozy and fun. Let's start with the snacketizers. Their homemade guacamole is one of the best i've had. We loved the tuna tostada! The crudo was just okay, I felt it was a little ambitious. It tasted almost drenched in ginger ale and you couldn't really taste the fish. My two other favs were the duck tostada and the pork tacos with both pulled pork and pork belly. Both dishes were exceptional. The bone marrow was also tasty and we loved the desserts. Service was impeccable. I highly recommend this place. I prefer trying new places and rarely go back for seconds, I will be going back to this restaurant. read more

Had brunch at Nomade in Austin and absolutely loved it! We tried the Masa Waffles and wow, SO good. You honestly couldn't even tell they were gluten-free. I would eat them nonstop if I could I also had the Chilaquiles with scrambled eggs (instead of sunny side up) and added avocado. Everything was super fresh and flavorful. The portion size was just right and everything tasted homemade in the best way The ambiance was adorable and made the whole experience even better. They even have a tiny parking lot in the back, which made things easier. I'd definitely go back and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and tasty gluten-free spot.

It was my first time to try Nomade which is a restaurant that focuses on cuisine celebrating seafood of the Mexican gulf coast, farms of Quintana Roo and unique spices of Lebanese, Portuguese and African flavors of the region. First off, I was blown away by the ambiance of the restaurant. It has a fresh and natural vibe with a lot of outdoor dining space including an outdoor bar, yet the area is protected from the elements to immerse you in nature but still maintain a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. The staff was very social and friendly and provided great and attentive service through out the meal. I love that this restaurant features tequila and mezcal options. We started at the outdoor bar and were sampling items from the happy hour menu, Tried the Margarita with Tequila Blanco with Salt or Tajin and the Paloma made with mezcal. My favorite was the La Jungla with Uruapan Charanda Anejo Rum, Pineapple, Tepache, Lime 12. It had a rich flavor and was garnished with leaves and pineapple for a unique presentation. The hamachi ceviche was a hit on the menu made with yellowtail, pineapple, mint, mezcal lime espuma. It had a mezcal foam served with the cerviche and included tortilla chips and we ended up ordering a second at dinner. We then transitioned to our indoor reservation where we continued our dining experience. We ordered several items from the menu that we all spilt so we could try a variety of the offerings, this included *COCONUT BURRATA served with tomato, watercress, strawberry and foccacia bread. This dish was very light and herby and we felt the bread masked some of the bright flavors so we ate it with the tortilla chips that came with the ceviche. *CAMARONES had grilled shrimp with pineapple pipian, mango and chayote. These were served with heads and tails attached and were very tasty, *WAGYU BARBACOA TACOS with avocado, tamarind-coke, cilantro and onion. This was also a hit and they were able to add another taco to the order so each person could have one. We liked it so much we ordered a second order. The meat was very tender. *POLLO ASADO with platano macho, elote, crema and guajillo adobo *CASTECAN pork belly, jicama, tomato shallot, recado negro and tortillas. The fresh veggies served with this dish were very fresh and made for a delicious filling to a pork taco. *LUBINA POHCHUC Baja striped bass, poblano, chayote and Caribbean coconut curry We concluded the meal with two of the dessert options which were both wonderful. *DULCE DE LECHE FLAN (V) with coconut and pineapple *TEMPLO DE CACAO a dark chocolate/raspberry/passionfruit Overall a great dining experience with great food and drinks. Can't wait to come back and try some other items from the menu! read more

Nomade turned out to be our final supper in Austin before departing the next morning, so wanted to make the most out of our Austin dining experience. We wanted to experience the different type of Mexican cuisine and found Nomade's Yucatan-influenced cuisine very unique and worth trying. Because this is more Tapas-style dining, we ended up ordering several items to share between the two of us. Here's what we ordered: 1) El Yucatecan & Desert Rose Cocktails: Both were super refreshing. The mezcal in the El Yucatecan was smooth and the habanero had a nice kick. 2) Sikil Pak: This was something very unique. Flavors I never tried before. Didn't realize the pumpkin tomato seed hummus would turn out to be green, so that was a pleasant surprise. Tostadas were also fresh. 3) Seta Panucho: This was one of our favorites. I enjoyed the spicy Xnipec sauce. But the black bean and mushroom stuffed tortilla has a nice and savory taste to it. Made me want to eat more. 4) Camote Asado: Really enjoyed the sweet potatoes and the grilled zucchini. The plantains were also good too. It was enough for me to feel full after my girl enjoyed the shrimp. Unfortunately, the minus star comes due to the fact that we did order the Chayote Pohchuc and the Sorbete, but it never arrived because the waitress accidentally never put it in the system. We waited nearly a half hour or so until we realized that was the case. Therefore, we scrapped the Chayote and got the Sorbete instead as it was getting late. The waitress was nice enough to comp us for the sorbete because of the innocent mistake. The sorbete was good. We could only finish 2 of the 3. I really enjoyed the coconut lime, that was my favorite. The passion fruit was also good. All in all, a fun dining experience. One we got to enjoy in an outdoor tent of sorts. Wish we got to experience the Chayote, but that's for another time. read more

The space looks cool (Tulum vibes anyone) but the outdoors as cool as it is visually is uncomfortably hot on a summer day !! We have lived in Phoenix for a few years , also having exclusively designed restaurants & hotels for living while in Phoenix I know a thing or two about outdoor dining in hot weather. I am not sure if the misters weren't working when we were dining but since they have such a large outdoor space it's something that would definitely help improve customer experience. The food though is the main reason for this review ... I must say I am quite disappointed with it over all. It over promised and under delivered for us the sikil pak wasn't like hummus at all. I like the innovative idea of pumpkin seeds but the chef definitely needs to work on its texture and flavor. Seems like it just wasn't our day as our server also forgot my request for light ice and simply took my drink back, returning it half full in a tall glass. The scallop aguachile was ok at best with sour taste overpowering the fragrant notes from the herbs. Both I and my friend had birria she had the wagyu and I had the jackfruit one ... this dish saved the day for Nomade. I am not a big fan of Jackfruit itself but I am an adventurous foodie so I am glad I tried this one despite the sikil pak faux pas. This is a must try for anyone who loves birria. The flavors, texture and presentation were all on point. Kudos for finally getting it right !! In conclusion will I go back ?? May be not as Austin has too many awesome restaurants you can spend your $150 but does the restaurant have potential. Sure !! Tip: May be check out the place in winters when the outdoors might be more pleasant to appreciate the decor. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Only pro was the atmosphere everything else sucked[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], terrible customer service, it took a hot 20 minutes of waiting for our waiter to ask for our check. We were checked on by other people more than we were checked on by our waiter. Food was expensive for how mid it really tasted. Save your money read more

WOW WOW WOW!!! This is the best meal I've had in Austin! Loved everything about this restaurant. The decor is very chic with such a cool vibe. The seating is so comfy with pillows. There is a free parking lot behind the restaurant. Our server, Gary, was absolutely amazing!!! He was very attentive, friendly, funny and so much FUN! This is what we ordered... Guacamole - served with tostada chips. The guac was tangy and yummy. Tuna Crudo - this was an explosion of flavor in your mouth. It was sweet from the strawberries and oh so delicious. Tuna Tostada - also so incredibly flavorful. This was one of my faves. Duck Panucho - this was pretty hearty Camarones - the shrimp had a tangy flavor with the mangoes. Seemed a bit overcooked and dry. Lubina Pohchuc - the sea bass was super yummy as well. Dulce de leche flan - the dessert was not too sweet and just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. Highly recommend!!! I'm definitely coming back here next time I'm in town! read more

An all-around "fancy" experience for Mexican-fusion cuisine that is also vegetarian and vegan-friendly! Reservations are an absolute must if you visit on the weekend, and we were lucky to get indoor seating at 8pm on a Friday night, even if it was at the bar. I appreciate the dedicated vegetarian menu and there were so many interesting things to choose from! I ended up going with the Camote Asado, which was a sweet potato dish that was laid atop a bed of roasted corn. On the side, was a corn-based roll-up (not sure what the proper term is lol) that had cheese crumbles and a white sauce on top. It was an appropriate amount of food that didn't leave me feeling too full! The dessert menu also looked mouthwatering, but will have to save that for next time when I have a more voracious appetite. I definitely want to go back to try their brunch menu! read more
