The crab relleno came with an abundance of crab, which I was happy with. I expect a bit more flavor from their Esquites and Guacamole. The Sucio cocktail, was one of the best cocktails I've had in Austin so far. The service and ambiance here were unmatched. Quick service with a beautiful view of the lake if you're close to the windows.
Went here for my friend's birthday and LOVED it! Can't wait to go back. We had about 7 girls and were seated at a huge booth. The restaurant is beautiful. Everyone raved about the margaritas, but I knew I wanted to start with the FRIDA KAHLO: Don Fulano Blanco, Jalisco 1562, Guava, Blood Orange, Lime, Black Lava Salt. My perfect summer marg! Will absolutely get this again. We shared a bunch of apps: sopes, hamachi (my fav), pulpo y chorizo, guacamole, salsa, and more + all did bandera shots (which was new to me). The server was patient with our big group. I can't wait to go for happy hour or the true dinner experience. Beautiful restaurant right downtown!
Pretty mixed. The enfrijolada I wouldn't get again. It had a strong lemony flavor, especially from the veggies, and it took over everything. I wanted to taste the poblano, ricotta, and mole, but the acidity was too much. Guac was really good. The small slices of jalapeño gave it a nice kick. Chips were way too salty though. Esquites were just okay. I usually like a little sweetness, but these leaned more savory, not really my thing. Queso fundido wasn't for me either. The pickled chiles didn't work, I think onions and tomatoes would've been better. Machete was the best part. Huge portion, really good, and I added corn which made it even better.
ATX Cocina has one of the best happy hours in Austin in terms of food quality! The HH menu is small but curated well! Happy hour is from 5-6pm Monday through Thursday and it gets busy! I started with a strong house margarita and followed it up with a lychee martini (not on the HH menu) The martini was really pretty but tasted more like a strawberry lemonade. Tacos de Pescado and Tacos Alambre were delicious!! I also ordered Hamachi (not on the HH menu) which was the best hamachi I've ever had, seriously! The flavors were tangy, sweet and paired perfectly. I enjoyed the Tacos de Pescado just as much as the hamachi the pickled cabbage was the surprising star of the plate! Our server (Taylor?) was very sweet. She explained the menu well and made great recommendations. Parking is very tricky in the area so I took rideshare! There's a parking garage across the street though.
Stopped by with a friend for some cocktails and small bites, and we had a great experience! We sat right at the bar, which had a really fun, modern ambiance. We ordered the pulpo y chorizo plate, and the food was absolutely delicious and high-quality. The drinks were excellent too. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed night out. Highly recommend!
This place was amazing! Highly recommend reservations (that fill up quickly might I add)! Our server, Jordan, was knowledgeable, friendly, on-point and the service is overall awesome among the entire staff. The food was so flavorful and delicious- we ate until we were stuffed! The Caesar salad is huge; 2-3 people can easily share this. The sopes were our favorite appetizer, and the queso fundido is like none I've ever had (those homemade, fresh corn tortillas that come with it are to die for!). The drinks were fabulous (ATX margarita and Paloma are house favorites) and we shared a Patron flight (highly recommend). My husband had the carne asada (perfection) and I had the crab rellano (mind-blowing good!!). Jordan spaced out our meal perfectly throughout the evening! The atmosphere was perfectly decorated and the music was a total chill vibe. Don't expect to walk out of here without a hefty bill at the end, but totally worth the splurge!!
We celebrated our anniversary at ATX Cocina and had an incredible night. The entire restaurant is gluten-free, which is a huge plus, and the food absolutely delivers -- don't sleep on the Hamachi Crudo. Our server Alexa went above and beyond all evening -- he arranged a champagne toast and a beautiful dessert for us, and at the end of the night the staff surprised us with a personalized anniversary card signed by so many of the team. It was a genuinely sweet touch that we weren't expecting. The food was outstanding across the board, but seriously -- order the Hamachi Crudo. You won't regret it. If you're looking for a spot that nails the food AND makes you feel taken care of, ATX Cocina is it. We'll definitely be back.
ATX Cocina -- where your taste buds go to party, and your eardrums tag along whether they like it or not. Let's start with the food, because... wow. We kicked things off with the beets and avocado crema, and from the very first bite, the flavors didn't just pop -- they performed. Earthy, creamy, with a playful little heat at the end -- it was like a flavor parade with a spicy grand finale. The beets were diced on the smaller side, which made them a bit tricky to catch with a fork, but not enough to slow down the enjoyment. Honestly, they could serve this dish as a starter or a main event, and no one would complain. Next came the machete, and true to its name, it cut straight to the flavor. The masa had this perfect crunch, bursting with that toasted corn essence, while the chicken and veggies tucked inside brought the whole thing together in perfect harmony. It's one of those dishes where you take a bite and instantly know -- this is what the chef meant to do. Then came the enfrijolada, and let me just say -- ricotta and mole shouldn't work together. But somehow, ATX Cocina makes it sing. It's the kind of bold move that separates the culinary dreamers from the recipe followers. The creamy ricotta smooths out the richness of the mole, and the result is just... spectacular. The restaurant itself is modern and stylish, buzzing with energy -- and I mean buzzing. It's lively inside, maybe a touch too lively, to the point where my inner voice had to raise its volume a few notches. But outside? There's a beautiful patio shaded by a big, majestic tree, and the whole vibe shifts. It's peaceful, warm, and exactly where you want to sit with a cocktail while replaying every flavor from your meal. If Yelp allowed half-stars, this would be a confident 4.5. But since they don't, we'll call it four -- only because of the decibel level and those bite-sized beets. Bottom line: ATX Cocina delivers flavor fireworks with flair and finesse. Come hungry, stay for the patio, and let your taste buds do the talking -- you won't hear yourself anyway.
It's actually kind of insane that this place has a 4.2 at the time of writing this review. I literally just ate at a Michelin star restaurant in ATX two days ago. This place is better. Flat out. The food is unreal. The hamachi crudo is the best raw seafood dish I've had in any kind of short-term or long-term memory. The carne asada has a masterful balance of just enough smoky flavor and spice. As someone who's been cooking Mexican cuisine for decades, it's very difficult to properly assess how balanced those chiles will turn out. The pork chop was also unreal. We ate every bit off the bone. We live in NYC and eat nothing but great meals. This place is a standout for us in ATX. Can't wait to come back here when we are back in Austin.
Another excellent restaurant with delicious food and great options for people with different dietary restrictions. Huge shoutout to Gilberto! He took care of my group and was so accommodating with everyone's needs! Huge portions and flavorful food! Brussel sprouts were a hit with my group! I got the crab relleno and it was so good! A lot of crab meat and the sauce was sweet and spicy! Paired so well with the relleno! The virgin pina colada was so good I ordered two! Highly recommend for those who do not consume alcohol! I will come here again next time I visit Austin!
Had Mother's Day lunch with my son at ATX Cocina. It has a modern high energy vibe. The service was very slow. We had to wait forever to get drinks. Then we were ready to order, which again took forever. She took my order and walked off without even asking my son. We waited for about 15 minutes after we asked for our check. She seemed to be way more attentive to the larger groups around us. I'm usually a very generous tipper...she could have made just as much as the table of four next to us. It seemed as if she wasn't that interested in a table with only two guests. The food was decent but a bit overpriced for the quality. I asked for no peppers in the guacamole, and it ended up being smashed avocado. I've never had quac that didn't have onion, tomato or cilantro. I had the crab tostados. There was a good portion of crab but not much flavor. My son had the chilaquiles. The meat was very flavorful, but the chips on top seemed kind of odd, couldn't really get to the good stuff without moving them. Usually they are on the bottom. I wouldn't dine there again.

We had a good experience here! The restaurant itself is really beautiful. It's open, welcoming, and well lit. We had a group of 8 people and were sat at a long table. Our server was personable and took really good care of us! We enjoyed the queso fundido and it was super good- who doesn't love cheese and chorizo? We also had the guac which was super fresh and delicious. I loved the chips. My filete de limo was super good, cooked well and I enjoyed the shishitos that accompanied it. It was pricy, but super good! I also had a spicy margarita which was made really well. I would come back! read more
Everything was great but the pork flautas on the brunch menu. It was one of the last things I ordered and honestly I'm confused. Let me start with the fact that it was pretty. It was visually appealing. But the moment it was placed on the table the smell of it bothered me. It smelled strange. I had my husband smell it and he agreed. Then I cut in to it and gave it another sniff.... It smelled even more odd. Lastly I took a bite and knew immediately that I wasn't going to eat it. It was awful, made my husband taste it and he kept saying it was the sour cream. I did not agree it was the meat. We talked to the waiter and sent it back. We have visited this place many times before and never had an issue. We normally love the food! I not sure what happen today. Management really needs to step in and do some quality control, I think it was spoiled. read more

Modern tex mex restaurant, perfect for all occasions. Price seems average and the presentation was top notch. I tried the tostada de atun (tuna tostado) which was fresh and has a hint of tajin. They're the perfect bite size app. $20 The pork belly in the sopes was charred and flavorful. $15 Their octopus and chorizo tostado was just okay. Their octopus was slightly overcooked and all the chorizo made it salty. $18 read more

Recently dined here for a friend's birthday dinner and it was a great meal. We ordered a little bit from each section and our favorites were the sopes and pork chop. We were blown away by the outstanding service. We had a few dietary restrictions in our group, and our server did a fantastic job explaining the options for them. They also added on a sope for our vegetarian guest for a reasonable price. The ambience is also great. Street parking only. read more
ATX Cocina describes itself as modern Mexican cuisine and that is a pretty spot on description as I did not recognize a lot of the ingredients that went into their dishes. But with that being said, almost everything I had was very delicious. The sopes and hamachi crudo were incredible! Closely followed by the salmon which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The short rib was cooked well but I'm not sure how I felt about the mole, could take it or leave it. Skip the esquites, very underwhelming. The coco no loco was addictive, I could've had 5. And the service was top notch. Overall, fantastic spot. read more

We really enjoyed the Easter specials at ATX. We didn't make a reservation but we went right at 11 and got seats at the bar. The dishes we had were so good - I'm not sure if they are typical brunch specials or just for Easter. The restaurant is very open and bright and the servers are really nice. We would definitely come back for another meal! read more
This place was a wonderful spot for a pleasant brunch. The architecture and wooden curved ceilings along with warm inviting atmosphere were very eye catching and welcoming from the get-go. I initially made an outdoor reservation, but changed it to indoor in-person just because it looked so great inside. Fully gluten-free menu, and they accommodated all allergies well. My friend and I had the filet de lomo, guacamole, tetela, huarache, and carne y papas. They were all standouts across the board, but I would say that the tetelas really stood out as a highlight. Very interesting dish unlike anything I've tasted before, and I'd order it again in a heartbeat. It's pretty rare for a vegan dish to win me over so hard as well, but it was truly delicious and unique. The cook on my filet was good. All masa used between dishes were noticeably high quality. Service was attentive. Overall great experience, and my friend repeatedly thanked me for choosing such a good spot. We plan to try Bulevar next, as they're the sister restaurant to ATX Covina and we'd love to have another similar experience. read more

I visited this restaurant with a group of friends. We got a reservation in advance. Although we were about 15 minutes late, we were seated right away. The staff was very prompt and friendly. The menu was limited, but had a good variety of selection. We got a grilled fish, brussels sprouts, a chicken taco/quesadilla. Everything was very flavorful and fresh. Not a whole lot of vegetarian options but we enjoyed it anyway. I will definitely visit again to check out some more dishes. read more
