The restaurant is reminiscent of a posh Mexican courtyard with its colorful murals, statuary, and plenty of lush foliage. The food ranges from Tex-Mex standards like enchiladas and fajitas to more...

Start with queso flameado, an amazing combination of melted jack cheese, peppers, and chorizo.

Güero´s is a relative newbie on the Austin Mexican restaurant scene, having just opened in 1986. It's a bustling spot on trendy South Congress and is especially so at lunch when sidewalk tables fill up fast. Evenings can be lively as well, particularly when live bands play on the patio. Menu highlights include tacos...

With its thatched roof, La Palapa is certainly easy to spot, which is a good thing since you'll want to get inside and get down to the serious business of eating as quickly as possible. The food is that good – from queso flameado to chile rellenos to flan. In operation since 1984, La Palapa presents live music every...

Matt's first opened in 1952, and age has not diminished its appeal one bit. It's classy, with tall ceilings and authentic art, but the Texas uniform (jeans, cowboy boots, and a Western shirt) is certainly appropriate attire. The signature appetizer is Bob Armstrong Dip, a combination of melted cheese, seasoned beef...

Margarita fans will definitely want to make a trip to Nuevo Leon for their "fishbowl" sized drinks, which some customers have dubbed "the best in the universe." The food is great too – the chicken quesadillas and shrimp Saltillo win raves from the locals that flock here. The reasonable prices and fun décor make Nuevo...
