    Pancho Villa Plate
    Michael J.

    Aesthetically pleasing. It was a very big, very clean, and not a lot of customers (which is sometimes a sign, judge for yourself). Service was fine, maybe a bit slow. It does make me chuckle when at a Spanish speaking restaurant and they use the informal you instead of formal. That's nothing to quibble over, but worth noting if you care about those distinctions. They still took care of things, although our server left without telling us. The food is affordable but not particularly high quality or flavorful. I would say Chuy's has more flavor. I did like their chips and salsa. I do like to play it safe and get whatever they call the TexMex combo of enchiladas and tacos and whatever else. Now that was a lot of cheese! Portions were adequate. The water glasses are big, but it does drive me crazy when you have to pay for a soda by the can. My partner had a dessert but didn't mention it as particularly special or anything.

    mediocre hidden mexican spot, nothing special nothing bad just satisfactory. when we visited they ran out of water which was weird and didn't offer us free bottled water, so we ate our meal without water. chips and sals were complimentary. i got the three tacos and did enjoy it however was sad about having no water. will definitely return with hopes that they have water!

    Nostalgia. This place is very laid back and has a vibe like an old school Mexican get together. Or maybe we just got lucky but they are jammin and people are just enjoying themselves here. The food honestly is very sold especially the combination plate of asada and pastor. Once again felt like my Tia made a plate and served it up. The only thing I would say could be better is the tortillas. They are those Tia Rosa store bought ones, but other than that it's solid. I just ended up eating the meat and taco stuff with the bomb chips they have. Everything was honestly great here from the service, food and vibes. Stop by and grab a bite to eat if you are in the neighborhood.

    Headed to watch a movie at AFS and came across this gem. My wife has been craving a Tostado, and there was none to be found in the southwest of Austin ! We came across it by accident while waiting to go watch a movie, but will come here on purpose next time. Service: Bueno Ambience: I'm here so it's freaking awesome Margaritas: Yummy Tostado: yummy tambien Enchiladas: bien bueno Sierra Del Fuego, Dos gringos will be back !

    #26 Enchiladas (Chicken with Green/Verde Salsa) (sub salad instead of beans)

    I ordered the chicken enchiladas with green salsa. Super cheesy and filling! Minor complaints: never thought I'd say this, but I'd prefer a little less cheese. The salsa verde got lost in it. The chicken in the enchiladas also didn't seem seasoned. It is nothing some salsa can't fix; I prefer tinga style chicken in my enchiladas and that's basically what adding the salsa made it. The chips and salsa could be improved but they got the job done. Overall, I liked the generous portions of good food at great prices, the welcoming service, and nicely remodeled interior.

    Burrito plate

    Okay -- the food here was fabulous but I couldn't get past how poorly maintained the building was. I got a delicious ground beef burrito with heavenly rice & beans while my friend got a toco plate that looked even better than what I got. While the food and the service were both far better than I would have imagined, the ceiling, the walls, the windows, and virtually everything else was so run down and dirty that it was hard to enjoy. The dirt hanging from the HVAC diffusers was so thick that I wouldn't dare sit below it. The men's room had a ceiling roof leak above it that made it impossible to use the toilet. I loved the food but the building was just too much of a train wreck to really enjoy my visit.

    A classic establishment with very enjoyable food. The service was very nice and sweet to my party of 6 ! We just finished a 5K today and they were the sweetest people you could've met. The food (carne guisado plate) was a filling meal and was so visually appealing that a neighboring table ordered it as well. In fact, that gentleman was nice enough to spot our whole meal. To keep things short: good things happen here. Cheers

    Chips and Salsa

    Best Mexican food in town! We order different plates each time and have never been disappointed. My favorite is the carne asada plate or the tortilla soup and they are not stingy on the portions. My husband loves the chilaquile plate or the alambre which is carne asada, chicken fajita and sausage with peppers, onions and Monterrey jack on top. They have daily lunch specials for weekdays and happy hour specials as well. But their regular drinks have great prices. If you like birria, the tacos de adobada (Jalisco style BBQ) are very similar. Chips and salsa are free starting at 11 am. They have horchata, tamarindo, & jamaica. They also give you red tomatillo salsa and green jalapeño salsa in bottles! They recently moved to a new location in the same shopping center as Galaxy Theatres on Middle Fiskville Rd. Go try it out!

    The new Full Bar at Los Altos new location by Galaxy Movie theater.

    Y'all. Los Altos has a new location and it is fantastic! Next door to Galaxy Movie theater. Grab dinner and drinks and then a movie! Lots of parking, shiny clean, and the food is still great! To go Or dine in. The salsas are solid and house made. Speedy and courteous service. Generous portions. Reasonable prices and now a full bar. We had the caldo de res and pollo a la plancha. I have had the two meat combo plate and verde chicken enchiladas, as well. Even their iced tea is very good. Come by and see their new location, you will leave satisfied!

    Foxtail was sexy. Let me try to explain:…read more The vibes were giving warm, dim, intimate without being cramped. The space mixes art deco with a little bit of Spanish flair, tucked beside/adjacent to Mama Betty's. It's big, but arranged in a way that still feels cozy and social. The crowd? Late 20s to early 40s. Grown and attractive. Lively but not chaotic. Vibrant without being loud. Perfect for dressing up a little, socializing and lingering a little. We Ubered there, so I didn't get a full picture of the parking, but it seems like there may be a little parking garage or validated parking area? Maybe a pay for parking? I would read other reviews. Most of the staff? Fantastic. Professional, warm, funny. Our assigned waitress, however, gave off overwhelmed and low-energy. She was short with communication and it sort of dulled our sparkle for a moment, but the drinks and vibes quickly brought it back. Had we had another waitress, this place would have been a 10 out of 10. On to the drinks: Round one: espresso martinis (made with Tito's). Slightly sweet, bold, smooth, and very sippable. No coffee bean decorations on top, but full of flavor. No cream inside...sort of reminding you of a Black Russian. Served in a ribbed coupe glass. Round two: French 75s with Hendrick's. Punchy lemon flavor, a tad sweet, lower champagne notes but still giving French 75. Garnished with a dried lime slice instead of a lemon. Served elegant in those ribbed coupe glasses (which fit the aesthetic perfectly). The cocktails are well-crafted and intentional. They aren't overly boozy, but they are balanced, smooth and polished. Bathrooms? Immaculate. Unisex. Private stall rooms with their own individual doors. Efficient and modern. No long lines. Opportunity to mingle with the opposite sex in the bathroom if that suits your fancy. Foxtail feels like a good place to start a new chapter. We had good conversations and we enjoyed staying out just a little longer than we planned. Their Happy Hour (4:30-6pm weekdays) is officially on my radar for the future. I'll be back. I want this place to be routine. 9 out of 10.

    This place is owned by the same owners as Mama Betty's and it's right next door. We only came here…read morebecause Mama's told us an hour wait. I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. It's a very cute bar that you would expect to see in downtown Austin. The service was extremely fast and by the time we got all of our drinks, our table at Mama's was ready. So it definitely was NOT an hour wait. And it was a Saturday. We ordered some wines and the Parmesan fries which were really good. I would definitely come back here again.

Drinks are expensive and served in what feels like miniature target brand, low-quality glasses, which makes the value proposition hard to justify the steep $14 price. The atmosphere is where it really falls apart. The space is set up like a bright, casual brunch hall rather than a cocktail bar--harsh, bright lighting, uncomfortable wooden chairs, and basic wooden square tables that don't align with the concept AT ALL. There's no food offering, yet the environment feels designed for daytime dining rather than an evening bar experience. From a design and hospitality standpoint, it's difficult to understand how this made it to opening in its current state. Even a VERY basic understanding of lighting and ambiance would suggest this setup is fundamentally mismatched--ESPECIALLY for something like a date night. If you're looking for a comfortable or intimate setting, this is NOT it. You'd honestly have a better experience sitting outside a gas station with a 6-pack of Coors Light.

Rosé Gosé (note accents) is in an unassuming Airport Blvd location (right next to Jewboy Burgers, an Austin favorite). It is run by a couple from Belarus that came here right after Covid to open up a restaurant, with a sister in Minsk. Defying expectations, the menu is not Balkan at all. If anything, there is a strong Asian influence with poke bowls and a lot of seafood. But the menu also offers beef tartare on their raw bar menu, as well as a steak offering and grilled chicken. It's a diverse and adventurous menu, all the way from small plates to hefty mains and vegetable sides. For the dessert, try the pavlova, a meringue confection stuffed with coconut mousse and topped with lime sorbet and a grapefruit slice sidecar. Everything is superbly presented, and unquestionably fresh and healthy without veering into twigs and berries territory. The cocktail menu is also playful, with a lot of nontraditional glassware and slight spins on popular drinks; their version of a Paloma uses prosecco instead of a splash of soda. The servers are all dressed in rosé jumpsuits and very attentive. The space is amiable and elegant without being pretentious. The table spacing is a little close, so that conversations carry between guests. The table setting has some nice touches, like the little wooden bench that holds your fork and knife off the table. In European fashion, water can be asked for but it won't be served with ice. Plan on taking your time and enjoying course after course.
