Great Mexican spot with flavorful food and a lively atmosphere. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and very satisfying. Would happily come back.

This is our special holiday meal. It's just such an amazing experience. The decor is captivating. Th wait staff is exceptional. And the food is so good. We started with the queso fundido (with extra corn tortillas), 2 of us shared the whole dish and a nopales salad and sweet potatoes- every bite was delicious. One person had another fish dish that was both delicate and rich. And the 4th person in our group had the chicken enchiladas mole - it was hard not to lick the plate. We shared the caramel crepes and tres leches cake for dessert. Rich and delicious.

In the last year, we've eaten here 3 times and it is now one of my favorite restaurants not just in Austin but anywhere in the US. While parking is in short supply, there is free valet parking and they are fast and efficient. Both the outdoor and indoor decor is welcoming and enticing. The food and drinks are fantastic. On our most recent visit, there was a small mariachi band that was incredibly talented. While they were a little loud as they played near us, one of the musicians was charming and kind; he suggested we signal if we'd like them to move a little further away. I'll be back again and again for more fantastic dining experiences!

We went here for a casual Monday night dinner and we were pleasantly surprise. Sergio was phenomenal waiter. He’s very knowledgeable and was very helpful picking our cocktails and menu items. we will most definitely be back again.

Went here for a birthday dinner, was pleasantly surprised by the great service and good tasting food! We arrived late at night, there was complimentary valet service as well as a parking lot next door which we utilized. The waitress was very attentive making sure all our needs were met so we didn’t feel rushed whatsoever to leave our table, like some other restaurants. The duck enchiladas were very very good, highly recommend getting it. The queso fundido was fun to eat as well — I preferred the flour tortilla over the corn. The staple chips and salsa were nice but the green was better than the red, try mixing them for a nice combination. The Chile relleno was ok but I preferred the duck enchiladas so much more.

Pretty good. Food is great, but you are eating here for the atmosphere and experience. The enchiladas are excellent as are the tacos. Our server was John F, he was fantastic. Very professional and attentive. Not to mention they give you chips and salsa. Seems like a standard, but not every place does that here (cough, cough-Curra’s). Tres Leches presentation was incredible as well. Even the flowers on top tasted great.

John Storms

What a wonderful meal on so many levels! The wagu beed al carbon tacos melt in your mouth. The cauliflower tacos were as delicious as they were beautiful. The trees leches came with a scoop of mango sorbet. Then the ambiance was every bit as good as the food. My wife declared this restaurant as our new celebration restaurant.

We went here for a birthday dinner and had a great dining experience. As a vegetarian, I wasn’t blown away by the limited vegetarian/vegan options on the menu, but the great service was what made it a 5⭐️ meal. The ambience was lovely, right from the entry doorway, to the antechamber and the main dining spaces (we sat in the central space, but there were two other spaces as well). The menu is quite pricy, however it was great to see that reflected in the service as well - our server (Jennifer?) was attentive and polite, and also packed up our food for us after the meal. For drinks we got margaritas - one with lemon and another with watermelon: both tasted great (we’re also quite potent). The queso fundido was melty and delicious - served with corn and flour mini tortillas, the corn tortillas were very good. The sweet potato was actually the best tasting item (we ordered it based on an Instagram reel): perfectly steamed and pan fried. The chipotle shrimp dish was good. The vegetable enchiladas were also decent but nothing great. As it was a birthday meal, the très leches we ordered came with a greeting (not complimentary though) - it was great with mango and mint. It was served with a mango sorbet with granita which was a little strange in its flavor. Overall this was a great restaurant for a special dinner.

Awesome atmosphere, great service including free valet parking. The margaritas are STRONG! Food is super flavorful and the tortillas are all made fresh in house. We loved the entire meal and highly recommend. Just don’t eat lunch so you can have proper space for all the heavy Mexican food.

Came here with a friend for dinner and had a very pleasant experience. All of the food was delicious and portions were just right. I ended up having a small bone in my chicken and had to return my dish but the waitstaff were extremely courteous about it and handled the situation great. The suiza sauce and tres leches really stood out for me and my friend enjoyed her tostadas as well!

Amazing food and atmosphere with great cocktails like the Mexican martini, and amazing margaritas. We enjoyed the chips and salsa and the guacamole. Would recommend getting a reservation as they are popular for a good reason!

The finest authentic Mexican food in Austin. The service and atmosphere match the food experience. Easy directions to get to this amazing establishment. Take some time to read through the website to understand the history and read published articles as well. Our food was divine! Each dish was one of a kind. We hope you enjoy these pics as much as we enjoyed the view. The Atrium/Bar area is exquisite.

The branding here has always mildly annoyed me, though it seemed they have toned it back over the years, the whole "real Mexican food, not Texmex" attitude kind of puts me off, as if Texmex is not just another regional cuisine of Mexico. But I was craving this type of food and they definitely deliver every time. The interior is meticulously curated, maybe one of the best-designed restaurants in the city. I ordered the mole enchiladas with chicken. The mole sauce was not too spicy, and rich and complex, but when it was just the sauce over the enchiladas it became kind of heavy and one-note. It needed some sort of greens to cut the richness. But nevertheless on the same tier as mole I have had in Mexico for real and in my opinion the portion was pretty large. I did not try much of the pastor tacos but they were pretty good. You can also order a dressed modelo here which is what won me over and convinced me that this place is not too snobby. We were here celebrating an anniversary-turned-engagement(!) and our waitress was super super knowledgeable and friendly, I wish I remembered her name so I could give her a shout out, and she brought us dessert and champagne on the house. The tres leches cake was good but the mango mezcal ice cream was the real winner of the night. It was not too boozey but the smokiness from the mezcal was still really forward. And it tasted like it was made from real mangos because it was very fresh. in the past I remember ordering the relleno with chicken as well as the queso fundido which I think I liked a little bit more than the mole and I would probably get that next time. But I am glad to have tried something new. Also this place is very good about listing allergies. The specials menu(not the main one) even listed some dishes as having allium in them which seems like a rare allergy for people to list and I appreciate that.

Last night we went to Fonda for girls night out and the place is absolutely beautiful. To start with our sever brought us water and chips right as we got seated. Chips were all broken and the server started off as very inattentive and uninterested in checking on us. After waiting we asked the other server who was extremely polite and attentive and eventually the service got better. Food: chips and salsa was good, queso was pretty stretchy (maybe it’s supposed to be that way) but not out of the world taste. My friends ordered shrimp dish and loved every bite of it. I got veggies enchiladas were pretty delicious. Overall the food was good and definitely above average. Service was okay.

Andrea Camacho

Really nice experience, the food was ok but our server was great! Not a big fan of the carne asada tacos presentation though, the meet wasn’t tender and it’s supposed to be a taco… it’s more like a steak dish. Definitely not más fav.

Atmosphere here was fantastic! Love the location and how everything flowed. The food was very tasty. We had Camarones, tostadas appetizers, al pastor tacos, and a classic marg! The camarones was quite large — lots of food to soak up. Slightly spicy but very tasty. The tostadas were amazing — loved these so much and the variety was perfect to get a taste of everything. The Al pastor was also good. Smaller in size but so tasty. My biggest critique was how the waiter we had was honestly a bit unprofessional, seemed rushed and that was inconvenienced him. Not a fan of being rushed during an expensive dinner. The price point for the dishes also did not match up. $30 for 3 pastor tacos? That is crazy. This is something I encourage people to review. The food is tasty but doesn’t live up to the price point.

Love this place! The art and paintings all around are just spectacular, it really feels like stepping into Mexico — almost like being in San Miguel de Allende. The service was excellent and the food was good as well. The only downside was that the bar closed without us being told. It would have been nice if our server had let us know and given us a last call, because when I asked for another margarita I was told the bar was already closed. Maybe just a reminder for the staff to announce when the kitchen or bar is about to close would make the experience even better.

I really love eating this place when I visit Austin, but tonight I had to do a pick up order. The fish was delicious but you cannot forget to debone a fish before serving. It could really hurt somebody. But for me I just ate my fish while carefully fishing shards of bone from my mouth in between chews. Very disappointing for a restaurant at this price point.

Michelle Kwon

Food was great! Service was mediocre. Felt pushy to order specific things. We went on our wedding anniversary and it didn't feel special. No one mentioned it from the reception to the server. Not asking for much but to pick somewhere to celebrate our special occasion, specify it on our reservation, and not even get an acknowledgement is pretty sad. Not asking much. We spent almost $200 total on 2 drinks, 1 appetizer, and 2 entrees. I ate here with my friends before for her moving away and you all acknowledged and celebrated when we dined in. Parking here is limited and spills onto neighborhood street parking.

I mentioned to our server, Mer, that the sauces and guacamole tasted sour to me. She responded by saying that maybe I was sour, which I found unprofessional and rude. I still continued tasting the food with an open mind, just in case it was my own perception, but I remained confident that the food did taste sour. Because of this experience, we decided not to order dinner and left the restaurant. As a heads up, parking is very difficult. The restaurant itself looks nice, but the waiting area was extremely cold. There was no heater, and with the outside temperature around 33 degrees, the waiting area felt just as cold.
