Decent Tex-Mex in a convenient location for those picking up lunch on a break.

Best in Town. This is hands down my favorite Mexican food in Austin. And it's cheap!!! The location is amazing, and the outdoor patio is so much fun, esp at happy hour. They have a nice indoor area as well, for when weather isn't as nice. (Though you can eat outside year round, as its now covered and heated).

The burritos are my favorite, but everything is great.

Terrible food-Change in mgmt?. I haven't been there for several months and had an awful experience recently. The beef was very cheap, very chewy, and the service was very slow.

Citysearch Editorial Review. Patrons are lured in by the daily commentary featured on the sign, and then captivated by pavilions and open decks reminiscent of the Swiss Family Robinson compound. This is the kind of place where diners kick back after work or spend a balmy Saturday night in conversation with friends. Starters include a spinach con queso. Entree highlights include enchiladas del mar: folded tortillas filled with shrimp and crab and doused in light cream sauce.
