About this business

The sombreros and parrots, mixed with the Mexican music in the background, could fool diners into thinking they stepped into a fiesta. This good old-fashioned restaurant is serious about its Mexican food, served with a progressive touch. From breakfasts of huevos, rancheros or migas to dinners of grilled chicken, shrimp, fajitas and more, the food here does not fail to satisfy. The atmosphere is casual; the patio is terrific and the hot sauce is great.

We were there yesterday evening for dinner and to see the amazing Strange Dayz - Austin Doors Tribute Band on the Backstage. This is an excellent venue with a great sound system in South Austin. The food was awesome and so were the margaritas. I don't remember our waiter's name, but he was very attentive and took real good care of us. Hope Strange Dayz become regulars on this stage.
