Authentic margaritas. Careful, they're stronger than you think. Best Tacos al Pastor this side of the border and the mole is out of this world. A true Austin original!
American Eagle OutfittersFebruary 29, 2012The best place in Austin for authentic Mexican food in Austin. Not only can you leave with a full stomach, but awesome merchandise including homemade salsa and t-shirts as well.
Tim McAlpineMarch 18, 2016It's a great spot with excellent food. Portions are huge, so consider sharing—especially with all of the chips and salsa coming at you!
Brittney PotterDecember 31, 2018Great food! You can always tell by the chips & salsa. Started off with queso. Then, I had their breakfast taco with potato, cheese,bean, & egg. Flour tortillas are made in-house. Bloody Mary was ok.- Justin MartinNovember 11, 2021Love the authenticity & ambiance! The fajitas are too good & keeps me from other dishes. Green & red salsas are a perfect opener. Fish Tacos w/ the chipotle mayo is breathtaking & Ritas rock!
Jen Pollack BiancoMay 11, 2014Tejas has some cray cray liquor laws-- order food if you want a margarita on a Sunday! Tip: try the Purist!
ElvisMarch 10, 2013The band brought out the best country dancers I have ever seen. I am from Jersey so it may not be saying much. But to me it was a special treat.- Valerie TysonDecember 16, 2015My absolute favorite restaurant and happy hour location in Austin. Amazing food and literally the worlds greatest margarita. Ever.
ChevroletMarch 7, 2011Street-style tacos and plenty of other favorites to feed your hunger for Mexican food. Guero’s is also the place to see and be seen during SXSW & the Austin City Limits Music Festival.
Say what you will about this local mecca: they have the best ritas in Austin. Not for price or quantity, but for flavor and composition. If you disagree you're wrong.
JilFebruary 15, 2013Green sauce with chips is my fav! And you can't beat $.25 for a black bean tamale during happy hour Monday-Friday 3-6pm.- The Tastes that Make the CityMarch 2, 2015The enchiladas is the best tex-mex in Austin, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Austin.

Andrew SandersonMay 5, 2013Best place to walk up on an Amazing Free concert with Guero's Taco' al Pastor to go with the Shiner Bock!
Christina AgramonteOctober 14, 2016Breakfast was good and cheap. My only complaint was that I asked for my eggs medium done and they come to me almost raw. Everything else was nice.
Kelsey✨August 12, 2016Margaritas are tiny and expensive, but the tacos are bomb af. Don't miss out on the salsa bar in the back
Isaac B. SanchezNovember 6, 2014The al pastor tacos were delicious, recommended by the waitress. The service was great!! I will be back.
Louie VillarrealJanuary 28, 2016The caldo de pollo was really good. Definitely going back next time I'm in Austin
Nicole De la MoraJanuary 19, 2017Vegan enchiladas, (Santa Fe), Guacamole, Chile Relleno, the guacamole and every single salsa
Casey BrownJanuary 29, 2012Margaritas are small, but don't be fooled, they pack a full punch! Pico is super fresh and the Sante Fe enchiladas are delicious!
Amy Johnson CookSeptember 5, 2013Great queso, free chips and salsa bar, and great seating area outside under the trees.
Chris VicenteMarch 29, 2015What's not to like? Great Margaritas, Tacos, and enchiladas! Great Tex Mex in Austin
Yajaira RamosMarch 14, 2013Tortilla chips, salsa, and raspberry margarita are delish. Also, try the veggie chile relleno and add some red sauce.
Vivienne GrahamMarch 12, 2013Great perk is that you can go to the salsa bar and refill. Heavenly choices. A salsa for everyone!
Eric EstateJuly 27, 2013Go indoors for a quieter experience, out on the street to be seen, or at the outdoor patio for live music.
Kev SkinnyFebruary 20, 2015Margaritas. Price is right especially during happy hour. Get the queso dip ya dip shits.
Mark O'LearyApril 16, 2013The lunch specials are excellent--at least the chicken tamales were. Some of the best tamales I've ever had.
Nicholas MooreJanuary 18, 2014Vegan or carnivore, there's something for everyone! Loved the vegan queso!!
Dianey SandovalMarch 16, 2015Great patio on the side of the restaurant.. They usually have live music...
JasonSealNovember 11, 2012We watched a super cool band in the little garden outside. This lady was tearin up a harpsichord like nobody bizz!! Super fun!!
Heart of Texas margarita packs a delicious punch! DO IT. Love this place during the week!
jared jurenaOctober 31, 2011If you don't order the al pastor tacos, you've missed out. Ask for flour tortillas with it as the corn will shred.
- Joao CrusApril 13, 2015The food is wonderful. It's feels you are in Mexico eating authentic Mexican food.
CheapismNovember 15, 2011On Tusedays, grab a Mexican beer for $2 or a frozen Margarita for $4. Discounts on appetizers, and $.50 off other beer and liquor.
BEST tortilla soup in town. Chicken broth base, not tomato. Perfect to clear up a head-cold or a hang-over. Tacos el pastor are also a favorite.
John KreicbergsMarch 13, 2013One of my favorite places in town to eat. Breakfast here is the cure for even the worst of hangovers.
Irma RodriguezJanuary 30, 2016Margarita's are mini. Fish tacos are not good. Nachos are just a tostada with cheese and there is no HOT salsa (I mean really HOT).
Emily EganSeptember 7, 2013Friday nights there's the Bob Fuentes show. Lots of singing and Dancing. Super chill check it out!
JoycottApril 16, 2014Earth Day is a great day for awesome tacos! 5% of your total check will go to support eco-friendly causes.
Josh EstelleMarch 19, 2012Vegan menu, gluten free menu, and most items can be made vegetarian. Nice.
Try the Vegan Queso - Interesting flavor. Do recommend. #vegan
