    Mediocre Mexican food at Meanwhile Brewing with the other food trucks. I had a steak taco, rice and beans. Refried beans were flat, rice was bland, taco was okay, steak inside was fine. Chips were good, queso a little watery and at $9.95 for a small boat of chips with queso seems a bit steep. Tacos run about $6, service is quick.

    Outstanding music venue/ Biergarten Great Oracle seating Will definitely be back another time

    Loved the food. Ambiance is outdoor picnic style. The service is they text you when your food is finished and you order at the taco truck window. The habanero salsa was perfect who loves the salsa to burn their whole face, like myself.

    Had a mini taco platter with lamb barbacoa which had a rich lamb aroma but I felt could use a bit more salt. However the line and salsa did help give for flavor. Note that you can't mix and match fillings for the mini taco plate. The food did take a bit of a wait but they text you when your food is ready and you can chill at Meanwhile.

    lettuce in burrito-not listed in ingredients

    First-It's rich the St Elmo location isn't even listed as an option here. Part of my problem is with them being unclear it is at the brewery, not the district. I ordered online and when I saw I placed an order 1/2 an hour away from me I called immediately to try to have them not make it so I could go to a closer location. Nobody answered and when they finally did, order was ready 5 mins ahead of time a they refused to accommodate. VERY annoying. Then after driving almost an hour round trip out of my way to pick up my food-THERE WAS LETTUCE IN THE BURRITO. Lettuce not listed as an ingredient or I would've asked them to leave it off/ordered something else. I emailed to let them know how disappointed I was with the entire experience and nothing. So here is my "rave" review. So incredibly disappointing all around.

    Now I enjoyed my food but my brother did not. I ordered the lamb Barbacoa taco and a carne asada Gordita. Great flavors and huge portions. The tacos could've been a little more tender and had a bit more seasoning. Also that goes for the service if you catch my drift.

    Taco Bueno and Taco Nes

    Went there on the Labor Day (thanks for being open, Pueblo Viejo). Long line, but it moved pretty fast! I ordered my usual favorite, Taco Bueno and Taco Nes. Both were delicious, consistent as other locations I've tried. Their ghost habanero salsa elevated my tacos to next level. When your order is ready, they texted you so people don't need to hover around the trucks. Appreciate that since it's hot out! Pueblo Viejo is still my favorite taco place in Austin.

    My wife and I were in Austin for a long weekend and i ordered the fish tacos and al pastor taco. The fish taco was one of the best grilled fish tacos I have ever had. It was ready in about 5 minutes but their salsas were weird. They were more like dressings instead of salsa. The ghost was spicy, but not crazy hot and I like the jalapeno. The chips and guac looked great as well. I didn't try them, but it looked fantastic! The atmosphere of the brewery was wonderful and during COVID, the outdoor seating was huge. Dog friendly and super nice people serving the beer. Totally try this place!

    I love tacos and I also love Pueblo Viejo! This food truck is parked at the Meanwhile Brewery and is a happening place to be in Southeast Austin. I've had Pueblo Viejo at different locations through the city over the last 10 years so and I was delighted to see them pop up at Meanwhile. Lately I'm loving the Quesadilla tacos and chips and queso. It's been my go to order for several weeks now. They are open early for breakfast tacos as well, which I'd recommend trying. Their selection of hot sauces is impressive too. If tacos aren't your thing, no worries, they offer all kinds of other Tex Mex plates to choose from and it's all good! You can't go wrong with Pueblo Viejo especially when you're re chilling at Meanwhile sipping on a beer and watching you kids play on the playground!

    The Al Pastor mini tacos were flavorless. The chicken tacos were fine. A forgettable experience. Few options on a Monday.

I was worried we might not get a table quickly, but we arrived at the perfect time on a Saturday and were seated immediately. We ordered a couple drinks, perused the menu and ordered the ceviche and street tacos and chicken tacos and everything was fresh and delicious. Our server was helpful, Attentive without hovering. My friend visiting had nothing but great things to say. Look forward to going back for brunch. Which is my typical go to there.

    I've been coming to El Alma for nearly 5 years now (according to my first review, I first came here…read morein November of 2026). During that time, it has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in all of Austin. I absolutely love the food and the rooftop patio that overlooks downtown/the park, and it will forever be somewhere I continue to go, especially during happy hour. I have tried every vegetarian item on their menu, and while everything is great, my personal favorites are: - cheese enchiladas with mole verde (I get this 99% of the time because they are my favorite enchilada in town) - the chile rellano (it's listed in the sides, but I promise you that it can be a meal in itself) - their rice (comes with many of their plates or inside of their enchiladas) is actually soooooo good and one of the things I look forward to - queso (nothing different about it, but it's just a really good standard queso) - flaquita (spicy watermelon margarita; I don't need to say more) - sangria blanca (super refreshing) Up until a few months ago, I would have given this place five stars, but I've noticed a decline in service that is making me knock it down to a four. For example, they used to give free chips and salsa the second you sat down, but the last three times, I've had to ask them for it (pro tip: ask for chips and salsa!!). I've also noticed slower and less attentive service. Overall, I still love El Alma, and when it comes to food and vibes, it has withstood the test of time. Everyone I introduce to El Alma falls in love (my sister visits me once a year, and El Alma is always on the agenda). Not only have I been coming here multiple times a year for the past five years, but I know I will be coming for as long as they are around.

We weren't even fully through day #2 and were already sick of BBQ. He broke the seal first and suggested Mexican. I found Taqueria De Diez in my bookmarks, and dinner plans were set. This was one of those meals where I was walking out with a pep in my step because I got exactly what I needed. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla + two tacos: Campechana and adobada. I don't even know what my favorite thing was. They were all excellent. The only slight miss were the beans, which were kind of oddly watery. But everything else was perfect, including the jamaica agua fresca. I ended up returning the next night and ordered a carne asada burrito. I didn't love it quite as much, but this is still an easy 5-star review for me. Note: this is not the easiest place to find. You literally have to walk in between some big, orange road blockers (is that what you call them?), to enter an alley. You then walk into a small bar, and then from there, you enter the actual restaurant. It's like a taco speakeasy, and it's glorious.

Taste - We love everything we ordered and cannot pick a favorite between the carne asada, al pastor and pollo tacos. The carne asada is sliced to order and the meat is tender and well seasoned. The al pastor is topped with grilled pineapple and is a sweet and spicy delight. The grilled chicken is flavorful, well charred and seasoned beautifully. All were topped with cilantro, finely chopped onions, and guacamole. The carne asada burrito was made with a generous amount of beef and rice, pinto beans, guacamole and onions. 4 different salsas and fresh cut limes are available. Service - Friendly, fast service.

Arriba Abajo as you walked in just gave me all the vibes of a happening place when you want to hang out with friends and have a great time. We ordered the braised ribs rolled tacos for appetizers. It was so fresh and kicking' with all kinds of flavors. I wish I had ordered another one. The avocado sauce layered on the bottom was just enough to keep wanting more. For lunch I ordered the Carneasada Fajitas with chimichurri and my husband ordered the Carneasada Taqueria. With my fajitas came a side of frijoles, green rice & flour tortillas. Corn flour was the other option. Both meals came in pipin' hot & the smell coming from both was very aromatic, zesty & spice.

The spot we were in just felt like limbo between guests enjoying the pool and people inside enjoying A/C and good music. May give it another shot down the road.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
