Back to La Vista after many years. Fajitas we below avg. Chicken had no flavor. Beef was just OK. Meat was not cooked with bell peppers and onion. They were added on top. Pico was not fresh and guacamole was likely food service special. Tortillas were soft and mushy - needed a few secs on a grill. Stay home and buy the HEB ready to cook or pre-cooked. They are better.

Pros: Atmosphere, View

Cons: Food, Service

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Located across from downtown, the La Vista Restaurant showcases the city's best features and provides the perfect spot for gazing out on to Town Lake. The menu has recently been redone, offering amazing new dishes such as lobster ravioli and blackened catfish. They also have a low carb menu featuring a spicy asian chicken salad in a Thai Peanut dressing and hot smoked salmon quesadilla YUM! As always, they serve "Austin's Best Fajitas" - a sizzling half pound of beef, chicken. To match, try one of their mega margaritas - frozen or on the rocks - but bring two straws or you'll be drinking for days. If you have children, you can sit next to Camp Hyatt, a special play area just for them. Or for a more romantic evening, make reservations and snag a spot next to the window, right on the lake. You couldn't have a better atmosphere!

Pros: Reasonably priced, Will validate parking, Not a long wait

I have gone to La Vista numerous times over the years with clients as well as family. The fajitas are consistantly good and the rest of the menu has done nothing but get better and better. I think their quesadillas are the best in town as well as the margaritas. Actually the bar downstairs, Branchwater, has a great patio on the lake and serves martinis that literally glow different colors. I think this is one of the best kept secrets

Pros: view, outside patio, value
