Our server, Jeremiah was superb! Their brisket was delicious and moist. The rice and beans tasted like they were made in small batches by mom. The food here is very authentic and seriously better than Arandas and all other Mexican food I've had. Definitely my new go-to!

As this being my 1st trip to Austin, My friends and I decided to try this restaurant. I can't tell you how rude the manager, and waitstaff are. There were plenty of other places we could have gone to but we chose them, all for what? Food was good, but I will never return due to poor management and employees. If you cant handle the business of the restaurant hire more employees. Worst ever

Took us 45 min to get a server. Had to go to the bar to order my food and drinks, and even then it took them 20 min just to run my card. Worst margaritas I've ever had in my LIFE. They tasted like straight up syrup. Never even got silverware lol
