Lionel Menchaca: Where to start? Best ceviche, best mole, and the Camarones Chipotle and Camarones Adobados are two of the best grilled shrimp dishes I've had anywhere.
Eater: This Austin fine dining classic was the first to offer interior-style Mexican food in Austin. Their mole is some of Austin's best, and their dining room is charming and playful. [Eater 38 Member]

Mike S.: I tried the pork adobo (sp?) and the beef mole. Beef was ok, pork was good. Both were kind of greasy. Easier to park here, but I prefer Torchy's overall.
David Sassen: Love the mole tacos, I highly recommend. Don't bother waiting in line - call ahead and order.
David Sassen: The mole tacos are fantastic. And the lines here have died down a little bit...

Chic: If there was a best mole in Texas competition, I would want to go to it. Oh. The mole here is pretty sick good too.
Anastasia Belozertseva: Delicious mexican spot with an extensive menu. We loved our queso, tacos, lamb and duck in mole. Head back to the patio, sip on a spicy margarita and enjoy the food!
Mickey Ferguson: Migas or chicken mole tacos
Brea Simpson: Not a fan of their famous bfast tacos but the chicken molé taco on a corn tortilla (of course) is amazing.
Austin Chronicle: In addition to wispy, fruit-flavored shaved ice, this stand also sells homemade aguas frescas, fruit smoothies, and tempting pork tortas. Their tacos keep people coming back to Radio Coffee & Beer. Read more.
