Best Drunk in Austin. $20 pitchers of Everclear-based margaritas? Can I get a hell yes? Totally worth the 20-minute wait. The parking lot gets crowded, but that's a good sign, to me.

Food OK, but charging me for chips when you bring them. Wow a Mexican restaurant in Texas chargign for chips and salsa that the bus boy brings. Not a good thing. and that is why I probably wont be back. Call me picky. The food was good.I ordered the Migas ( ehh) but the sides that came with it were MUCH better. Can I have an order of beans and potatoes?? I only went in becauase every place around them was crowded adn I was starving.

Authentic, generous portions. This place is authentic, fun and very tasty. Though the service leaves something to be desired, the salsa bar keeps your mouth busy while you wait for your food and drinks. They have a array of salsas to choose from, and the chile con queso is delicious.

There is an outdoor seating area, shaded from the sun but just as festive as the interior of the restaurant. The drinks are refreshing, the authentic food is served in generous portions for the price-tag, and the overall experience is enjoyable. I can easily see myself frequenting this place.

I truly do not understand why this place is as popular. The place is dilapidated. Their service is the worst that I have ever experienced in a restaurant. The chips and salsa are watery. I only tried this place because my girlfriend insisted how great it was, but I would never eat here again….

So many better options for in Austin for this style food try – Vivo, Gueros, Baby A’s

Anything but this place!

Salsa Bar Heaven. All my Latin American friends and clients praise the authenticity of the food and enjoyed their drinks as well.
