An Austin icon. Been around since before I was born. Excellent tex-mex and atmosphere. Prepare to wait or call ahead for reservations during busy times. Great outdoor patio. Live mariachi on Thursday nights.

Good, light tex-mex. More of a "dive" than Matt's El Ranch with less atmosphere, but good nonetheless.

Fun atmosphere to enjoy really good pizza and craft beer, if you don't mind sitting next to strangers because it's usually crowded and there aren't many private tables.
