In Short – Located in the former MTV Real World House, this vibrant Tex-Mex eatery has a lively and spacious dining room with sleek decor. Start with a generous order of nachos or a bowl of the fiery New Mexican chili soup. Other Tex-Mex standards like quesadillas, burritos, tostadas, enchiladas and tacos enliven the menu, in addition to mesquite-grilled fajitas. Rachero, green chili, tomatillo and guacamole toppers are made from scratch. The daily happy hour provides an affordable downtown dining option for sharable plates and potent (so much that you're limited to three) margaritas.…

Great Margaritas, Close to Downtown
by mayoatx82 at Citysearch
Pay attention to the warning on the menu because their margaritas don't mess around. I had 2 and definitely got my money's worth. LOVE IT and love their location in the middle of downtown Austin. This is a great spot to grab a drink with friends after work or before a night on the town - especially with their close vicinity to 6th St and the Warehouse District. We ordered both the Chile Con Queso and the Scratch Guacamole which were both good. My only suggestion would be to give their salsa a little more kick. Overall, nice atmosphere, good service, and some tasty drinks and Mexican food.
