We were there for breakfast and the eggs Benedict with a side of bacon was outstanding. Guacamole was great too.

Upscale authentic Mexican restaurant on Rainey St in Austin. The ceviche was awesome! The mole with duck was nice. We also tried the Tacos de Gaonera were very good as well. My favorite was the Salsa Macha with the bread service. So yummy! The chocolate torte was nice as well. If you want a relaxed and elegant meal, check it out. 

Business response:

Robin, Thank you so much for your words, we all hope to see you again soon!

We came here with high expectations and it was very disappointing. The food took forever and was not good. Then when it came time to pay the check it was very difficult and took the supposed manager an hour to figure out how to split checks.

The food was fantastic. I ordered chilaquiles verdes and they were pretty good. And of course our hostess Lauren was as helpful as she is pretty. Would definitely go again.

Service was good. Food was peerless. We had the head chef visit our table to ask about our mole, our experience, and to ensure we were having an excellent experience. I don't exaggerate when I say that the food here will make it difficult to enjoy mole from places back home.
