Party like feeling in the music choice and vibe.The food was outstanding, super fresh, authentic, a lot of delicious flavors in harmony, with the right amount of salt.We had shrimp agua chile. Generous plate with plenty of shrimp, freshly made sauce.The we shared a tortilla soup, that comes thick and with strong smoked flavors. Lots of toppings that bring the flavors and textures to an addictive level.After that we shared a tampiqueña, to be noted that none of the plates can be split in the kitchen so plan to share the plate. The skit steak was cooked medium perfectly, the chimichurri seasoning on top was also executed to perfection. Lovely enchiladas with red sauce and guacamole, on the side.Chocolate torte, is not too sweet.International fun dance music.

This places rocks! Great food, good portion and good price. Also atmosphere is really nice so perfect for a special occasion.People who leave bad reviews and complain about this place are most likely unhappy in their personal life.

The flan and melted cheese are very good. We had a friend's birthday here and we paid very well. Excellent service. Very good disposition of all the staff

Made the happy hour on a Thursday. At 4:45 the line was out the door. Reservations are suggested. We had the margaritas. Carnitas tacos, chicken tacos, cachetada, and guacamole. The 4 salsas were all good. Everything was great, but we thought the carnitas were slightly better than the chicken. A cachetada is like a quesadilla with one flour tortilla instead of 2. Still excellent. Lots of after work parties.

Amazing! Place has only been open 4 days and they seem like pros. Warm welcome from the host stand, friendle engaged bar staff, well executed food which will get even better with time. Standouts, al pastor tacos, salsas and the Tres Leches was amazing!! Staff was accommodating and friendly. Great upbeat vibe out of downtown. Treat yourself and check it out!

This was an unexpected delight. Not your typical Mexican restaurant. Slightly upscale, but not fussy. The visual presentation was perfect, outdone only by the flavors. We had the Al Pastor Enchiladas and the Chicken Mole Enchiladas. I’d definitely recommend both of those. The salsa tray with the description of the various flavors was particularly delightful. Churros for dessert… with both caramel and chocolate hazelnut dipping sauce. Yum!We’re only going to be in Austin for the rest of the week, but we’re planning to go back.
