Editorial Review for Jovita's Mexican Restaurant – by David Courtney
In Short
With better than average Mexican fare and a well-stocked bar, Jovita's, with its funky mural of Cesar Chavez, sits in the heart of South Austin. Bands play on the beautiful indoor/outdoor patio, but the sounds travel through the open doors, past the bar and to the furthest tables. As longtime weekly host to such talent as Don Walser, Jovita's offers a steady dose of world-class live music in true South Austin style.

This was my first time to go to Jovita's and it was for my Wife's birthday. The food was horrible, I would take Taco Cabana over going to Jovita's ever again. First off they charge $2.50 for chips and salsa and you don't even get refills on them. The food was bland and overall low quality. Pretty much no one in my 10 person party liked their food. To top it off the service was horribly slow which wasn't the waitress' fault because they were seriously under staffed. Overall, not a good experience.
Pros: not much...ambiance
Cons: food, price, quality, service

The food has always been bad at Jovita's. Not really Tex-Mex or Mexican, just bad. Slow service too! As of late even the music is going down hill............lots of no names that don't fit in the Austin live music line up. Come on Jovita's you can do better.
Pros: Location
Cons: Food, Service, Quality
