    We attended a birthday dinner at Vasquez #3 and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! It was fight night when we went they had a large screen showing the fight & also a DJ and a dance floor with colorful lights and upbeat music to keep the night going! The food was great! I had mushroom street tacos w potato's and my significant other had the nopales quesadilla! They were both delicious! The salsa was thin but don't let it fool you, it packed the perfect amount of heat with tons of flavor! The newly added FULL BAR was great we tried margaritas, Palomas and Mexican martinis, we loved them all! The waitstaff was up beat and very attentive to our big top! Everyone's checks were correct and all items delivered timely! Thanks to the Vasquez team for a memorable night, can't wait to come back

    The BEST Mexican martinis

    Delicious authentic Mexican food served up hot and fresh by friendly wait staff. Situated in a small strip center, this place is a hidden gem. Their charro beans are so flavorful and good! The street tacos, chicken gorditas and flautas are my go tos. Don't forget to ask for the salsa verde. You won't be disappointed. They recently added a full bar and it's one of my favorite places to catch up with the girls on a Friday night.

    Great spot for a quick bite, particularly if you're keen on some breakfast. Breakfast plates are loaded with perfectly cooked potatoes, refried beans, eggs your way and with bacon, ham or sausage, and tortillas. Breakfast tacos, particularly the taco madre, are chock full of ingredients. Usually greeted as you come in. Seat yourself. Service is friendly and efficient. Parking out front in the strip mall. Takes cards and cash. Note: Now open for dinner Thursday through to Saturday nights.

    Steak a la Mexicana and a papa a la Mexicana taco.

    The service was great. Food was good. Queso and salsa were very good. Few things could be better but overall I'd eat here again.

    First time here. Our waitress was nice and came back to check in and refill our drinks. We asked for chips and salsa very good. The food was delicious. We had barbacoa plate which had lots of flavor and very generous portions of beans and potatoes, our daughter had 2 barbacoa tacos and my husband had a barbacoa taco and a bean cheese taco also very generous portions. The only thing was they don't have authentic flour tortillas which is huge which was disappointing because their food was absolutely delicious.

    Migas plate and stuffed omelette.

    We love this place. We have lived nearby for a few years, and have dined in a number of times, but usually we pick up breakfast tacos to go. Those breakfast tacos are PACKED -- delicious and full of fillings. Always more salsas provided than we need, which we use for other meals at home lol. HOWEVER, it is worth coming here in person -- the food is delicious and fresh and the service is top notch. You get to keep the red and green salsa dispensers on your table, so you never run out. All the servers take care of all the tables, and it really makes you feel like they care. The servers wear shirts that mention their great customer service, so the business knows, and cares, and it shows. The restaurant is clean and well cared for, there are really cool/convenient condiment stands on the tables that hold a paper towel roll (so smart!!), and the place is decorated bright and colorful with some really cool paintings, including a copycat Austin mural on one wall with their name. This is a regular go-to spot that has never disappointed and was one of the first places to reliably provide takeout during the pandemic. This review is long overdue.

    Gordibuena and beef fajitas!!  Great breakfast!!
    Ricardo B.

    We have been coming to Vazquez#3 since 2007 and they gave never failed to deliver an awesome meal. The Gordibuena is simply amazing and their beef fajitas are always on point! If you haven't tried this hidden gem, you have honestly been missing out!

    Love the barbacoa from this place! Always fresh, tasty! Never dry! I order half a pound. $10 Wait is usually 5-10mins. Very nice inside setting too!

    Breakfast of Champions l!!

    This place is my go too for breakfast and lunch!! The wait staff is amazing and always welcoming. The food is awesome and very tasteful.

    Gordibuena
    Sara O.

    Favorite family breakfast place in town. The gordibuena is my jam lately. The migas are great. There's some "American" breakfast items such as pancakes. The breakfast tacos are the best around here, and the waitresses are lovely.

    Nothing special here. Food was bland and ordinary. And no mixed drinks. Service was indifferent. Won't be back.

    Food and service was amazing. I'd recommend buying food for the table and sharing with everyoneread more

    Best meal of the Austin trip: upscale tacos and housemade masa in a welcoming space…read more Food: 5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Waitress Kelly was wonderful and so professional. She noticed I was ordering dairy items on side and asked about if pesto in guacamole was ok. So astute and kind of her. Also on my friends second drink remembered she didn't want salt or her rim without even asking - Everything tasted so fresh and high quality - Brisket tacos: packed with flavor--maybe it was the wagyu meat or the black magic oil. Freshly made corn tortillas were awesome. Usually corn ones and pretty throwaway meh, but these added to the greatness of the tacos. 5 stars - Duck flautas: crispy covered in mild mole. Loved the mashed potato addition inside for some mellowness and texture. 5 stars - Guacamole: so fresh and that dollop of pesto on top was lovely. Served with crispy masa dippers were impressive almost a 8x11 page size. It was fun to crack off into pieces, but hard to stop eating it. 5 stars - Sweet potato: friend loved these long charred wedges. 4.5 stars - Cocktails were stellar. I got the Don Dario which was a play on a marg and delightful - $12 of a few drinks during lucky hour (Mon-Fri 5-6pm, Sat-Sun 3-5pm) - High energy vibes in a clean, open, tan colored space - Had their bottle water on the table in a champagne bottle which speaks to my heart Midlights: - In East Austin so have to Uber if you are staying more central - Tacos come in orders of 4. Wish it was less so we could've tried more variety. Lowlights - No food discounts for lucky hour - Didn't have time to try the choco taco which looked amaze - Large gap of time between items first few items coming out and the rest

The authentic Mexican cuisine is consistently on point, both in flavor and presentation, making it a reliable choice when you want to impress. The traditional margaritas with Tajín are a standout and easily a favorite among my group every time--refreshing with just the right kick. On my most recent visit, I tried the new Salmon entree, and it was delicious--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My coworkers explored a variety of menu options, and every dish received rave reviews: the Carne Asada entrée, Ribeye tacos, Enchiladas Suizas, Chicken Mole Poblano, and Carnitas tacos--all executed beautifully and packed with authentic taste. And of course, the Guacamole and Queso Fundido remains one of my personal favorites--fresh, flavorful, and always a must-order for the table. Between the consistently great food, crowd-pleasing drinks, and overall experience, I'll definitely be back again soon. La Popular never disappoints!

    Beautiful restaurant and excellent service (thank you Juan)…read more Very innovative cocktails. Good chips and salsa. The breakfast burrito was really delicious. Good refried beans, too. I ordered the brunch cachetada and wasn't thrilled. The suiza chicken and runny eggs diluted the flavor and made the cheese crust on the tortilla soggy. I had to add a lot of hot sauce. It needed more texture and flavor. Overall a boring dish. I would definitely return and order something else, however.

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

    As a Texas native & Austinite, my boyfriend has been going to Fonda for years (they've been around…read moresince 1975 after all). I've only been once and it's definitely not gonna be the last time. In fact, we've got an upcoming reservation that's been on the books for quite sometime. They've managed to remain delicious, relevant and in demand 50 years! That's saying something. I'll tell you what that says...it says they rule! Reservations can be tricky to get but oh so worth it. The bar & atrium are fantastic and they boast a generous happy hour. The restaurant area and entire space are decorated wonderfully. Amazing artwork adorns the walls, they've got extensive art all about, vaulted ceilings and more. It's kind of like being in a hacienda. It feels like you're in Mexico. Truly. The restaurant and food are upscale without being pretentious. How refreshing! Speaking of refreshing...they've got cocktails and mocktails that will knock your socks off. I'm a big fan of the Nojito. My boyfriend loves the Mexican martini (it's primo). Let's talk about food. Wow-wee is it everything and then some. This is the kind of Tex-Mex flavor that sends your tastebuds into a tailspin of goodness! On our visit we did a salsa flight (we did 3 salsas), the queso (melted muenster and Oaxacan), Wagyu beef tacos, and chicken verde enchiladas. We did a spread like that in order to share everything. Food so good I'd give ten stars if I could. I can't put my finger on it but there's just something so special about the food, the taste of it, and the quality. It's just incredible flavor explosion bite after bite. If I had to guess, I'd say the food has been made with love, skill, and attention to detail all these years. Hence, their amazing reputation. Service is beyond compare. Hands down some of the best I've experienced in all of my worldly travels. Fonda San Miguel (Tzintzuntzan) is a dream come true!
