From bad to worse

04/11/2008 Posted by dachoker

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

Editor's Review

With solid Mex eats and live tunes, this joint is much more than a funky South Austin eatery. See the full editorial review.

When to Go

As Jovita's is really a restaurant, the music takes place during reasonable hours, usually around 8pm. The Cornell Hurd Band and Harry Bodine Trio are regulars.
