Cheese and fish just what I didn't order . You people are clueless.
Derrick H.

How incompetent and dumb can you be. I have let this happen to me 3 times in a row before writing this review. As the receipt shows I ordered 3 fish tacos with extra black beans and extra rice. But why did you just give me fish and cheese like some absolute morons. Your manager should be written up for not double checking customers orders. This is not rocket science. Just no excuses for poor leadership and no attention to detail.

I love Cabo Bob's. We come here pretty often. It's always clean quick and always super quality food. They have amazing tortillas that are homemade right in front of you. They also have great black beans and fresh rice. Sides choices are always great with fresh food. The staff is friendly and helpful. The ambience is casual and give you that beach vibe. The chips and salsa is BOMB !!

We love having a Cabo Bob's in the neighborhood. The food is always fresh and delicious, and there are great options. I normally have a salad with the bowls and burritos are also delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. It is often busy so expect to lineup and wait. The team does a great job of moving people through quickly. The tortillas are homemade and so delicious. I also love the grilled zucchini and squash as a vegetarian option. Cabo Bob's offers a reward program so collect punches for a free meal or a free t-shirt!

If you like Chipotle or Freebirds but wish they felt a little less corporate and had better ingredients, Cabo Bob's is the way to go. At its core, it's a build-your-own burrito / tacos / bowl place, but everything here just feels a notch better. More variety, like panko-crusted white fish as a protein, or the option to get pico OR just tomatoes, just onions, just jalapeños if you don't want all three. A lot of sauce options including ancho rancho, chipotle cream, and jalapeño sauce. Plus they have a mango pico all year round. Lots of options with the tortillas: smoky cheddar, cilantro tomatillo, ancho chili, and flour. One of my favorite "hacks" is ordering the sampler and getting one of each of the tortilla flavors. I've also seen burritos split half-and-half with two different flavors. They press the tortillas fresh from a ball of dough right in front of you. They also offer crispy tacos and corn tortillas, but the corn tortillas comes pre-flattened and just get heated on the griddle. This place is wildly popular. I've seen 20-minute lunch lines around 1 or 1:30 pm while the Chipotle down the street has no line at all. You'll see everyone here, state troopers, church youth groups, office workers, families. Order ahead if you can and you'll save the wait in line and can pick up from the to-go counter. The soda fountain uses off-brand or private-label sodas, not Coke or Pepsi. Totally fine for me, but if you're a Coke loyalist you may have to settle. If I had one criticism, it would be the bathrooms. At the location I go to, they're single-stall with one men's and one women's, and no occupancy indicators. I'd rather see two gender-neutral bathrooms with an occupied/unoccupied lock. Minor gripe, but noticeable given how busy this place always is. Fast-casual done right at one of Austin's best burrito shops.

The kids meal used to be a good deal but they've been getting very chintzy on the chips lately. In the past you would run out of queso cause there were so many chips. On this particular day i got the quesadilla with extra meat and if that's what this is, there would probably be no meat on a regular order. Not sure why I paid the extra. At least cause of the small amount of chips, I was able to dip the quesadilla in the sauce for something different.

I'm a fan. Love the sauce options, the variety of tortillas, and overall service. The tortilla flour is slapped onto the flat top griddle and you can see it come to life as it expands and deliciously browns (not like your typical heating up of already-made tortillas) As my cousins would describe this place, "it's a better chipotle." and it really is! Brought some back to LA, and even my parents who're typically picky with their burritos, commended the #4 crispy fish burrito w/ baja beans. Added on nopales and all the veggies as well - it was a generous serving! Half of the burrito was enough to get me full. The fish itself was super crunchy (like biting into a heavily battered tortilla chip) and didn't taste ocean-y at all. The only gripe I had with the fish is that the fish:batter ratio is low lol. It's a small layer of actual fish. I really liked the jalapeno sauce (perfect amount of spice) and the xxtra hot red sauce which isn't too spicy imo. I also appreciate that they have lime juice by itself (in addition to the actual limes if you prefer). It was like a 10-15 minute wait around 1230pm on a Saturday. Next time I'll try the beef w/ a combination of two tortilla flavors.

Cabo Bob's is going to be a hit almost anywhere it goes, especially in a place like Austin. It's the best kind of casual setup ideal for all parties, be it a big family group, a solo dining adventure, or even small group action. It is the kind of place where one can score a large burrito and leave in a fun food coma. In other words, come hungry and leave satisfied. The premise is simple: line up, tell the person behind the counter the order and work your way down the counter, and eventually find a place to sit. The waits can be long, especially during their lunch rush or weekend crowd but the wait for seating sometimes can be even longer. Takeout is always an option, especially for people who dislike everything I noted earlier. The theme about how Cabo Bob's became as such is plastered all over the place and the beachy decor is a cute reminder that life doesn't have to be so serious. The seating is tight where tables are close but there are enough seats to handle even the largest of crowds. Parking is substantial and the evenings are far less crowded than the daytime. Fish tacos are always an easy option, but one's mileage will vary. The safest and heartiest approach is feast on any of their burritos, which my favorite happens to be the brisket and queso and/or fish burrito with extra fixings. Bowls are fine, but I reserve them as a last resort. The young people who run the place are a friendly bunch and usually make the experience what it is. Prices are standard for casual fare and there is no drive-thru. I plan on coming back again to try more of the menu and looking forward to my soon'ish return.

Vibe
Anna L.

Loved this spot! The food was fresh, filling, and delicious. I got most of their toppings on my chicken burrito and it was so good. The tortillas are homemade and made right in front of you. Beachy vibe with a bunch of seating. The service is quick and the employees were super friendly! Wish I had this at home!!

Gripping a Fish burrito
Joshua P.

I love Cabo Bob's, everyone should try it at least once. I'm a regular here and it's easily one of my favorite quick bites in Austin. My usual order is a burrito with the fried fish, and the quality of ingredients really sets this place apart. Tortillas are made fresh in front of you, with multiple dough flavors you can even mix to your liking. Portion sizes are huge, and pricing is still great for what you get. It used to be under $10, but recent price increases have pushed it just over that mark. Lines can get incredibly long during peak lunch hours, so I'd recommend going outside of those times. It's loud and bustling with people typically. Their craft drinks at the soda machine are also delicious with a slight twist on your classic drinks. Parking varies, but there's usually turnover so you can find a spot. Hands down one of the best burrito spots around, this will always be in my top five for quick, easy eats in Austin.

I sometimes look at this picture to remind me how delicious this burrito was.
Lukas P.

Service 4/5 Food 5/5 I have never tasted such a fresh, juicy, succulent burrito in my life. The dough was strong enough to withstand the behemoth of a burrito I created, yet soft enough to bite through. You watch a ball of dough turn into a warm tortilla, it does not get fresher than that. I ordered the fried fish as well, and it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Cooked to perfection. I didn't write anything about the ambiance because once I took a bite, I forgot everything else about the world. The best part was that it was still cheaper than other burrito spots. Chipotle doesn't stand a chance. The lines are always long for a reason so be prepared to wait. I would eat here every day if I could.

Some of the menu choices.
Ryan F.

Cabo Bob's burrito's are enormous! They have so many flavor options, starting with the tortilla, you get to choose everything that goes into your meal. The soda machine is filled with interesting flavors too. Definitely a fun spot to get something to eat.

Salad fish
D H.

Always delicious! I always get the salad even though their flavors of tortilla are unique and cooked to order. Compared to other salad add ins, Cabo bobs got great variety! Mango or regular pico, sautéed poblano, zucchini and squash, cabbage and many more. I tried the fish this time, it only comes fried, fish was a little thin inside the breading, still good and not overcooked. Lastly the must-have sweet mint green tea, always perfect on a hot summer day!

Tacos Fish
Pax S.

This Cabo Bob's is so friendly to law enforcement when we visit at work. Today, I went with my colleagues and we were treated so well that one of my Lieutenants was approached by a civilian and the civilian bought our meal. Other than that, the fish tacos and fish burrito are insanely good and I only get them every time. The staff doesn't skimp on the toppings and even offers a law enforcement discount. While it's insanely busy around lunch time, the staff continues to kill the long line with exceptional service. My only complaint at this location is the location of the restroom but that doesn't take away from our experience.

Fresh fish in my burrito = happiness

They have a cute indoor seating area along with a rooftop patio, which is really cute especially when the weather gets great. I got a corn poblano soup and I have to say that was delicious. I got the small cup and next time I go back I will definitely get the whole bowl cause that was amazing. I did go during brunch hours so I got two tacos. One of them was the Migos taco, which was delicious. I love that the tortilla chips and they were nice and crunchy still and not soggy. I also got a taco called the Cherrywood, which had bacon cheese, egg, potato, and avocado, and it was delicious. I love that their tortillas are homemade and they're not the cheap American puffy ones. They also give you complementary chips and salsa and both salsa were delicious. I literally combine both of them in my tacos. They do have some great drinks. One of them is the Highlander margarita which is really nice and smooth and they use patron silver. They also had another margarita that I saw a lot of people ordering and it was an avocado one, and everybody kept raving about it. They definitely have a good mix of cocktails and then anything in general that you would want.

We stopped by at 11:45 am and surprisingly there were plenty of parking spots around the restaurant. We had a great waiter who was attentive and patient with us. We ordered a mimosa carafe for the group. Unfortunately, I think they need a better way of serving these mimosas because the sparkling wine in the carafe gets immediately warm due to not being placed on ice. We were drinking lukewarm mimosas. Please rethink this El Alma, you need buckets to keep the wine and juice cold! Anyways, we received complimentary chips and salsa while we waited for our food. I ordered the breakfast enchiladas which were delicious. They had egg in them, and honestly never thought this existed but happy I found it! Wish the side of beans it came with was bigger. The rest of our group enjoyed their foods as well. There's rooftop seating which was lovely BUT there's a huge oak tree above that continuously drops leaves and debris constantly. Our drinks had floating bits and it just kept falling. I recommend some umbrellas. Our waiter was kind enough to let us move when a table opened up under the canopy. Great food, super cool restaurant but some operational issues that keep it to a 4 and not a 5.

We knew that Austin is a foodie city and it didn't disappoint in the slightest in hitting all those food types that we were wanting to try. We enthusiastically marked off "Mexican" by coming to Taqueria De Diez. It wasn't in our bookmarks to try. I believe we came across it in a Google search or a Yelp search and we're impressed with the review score and decided to go check it out. It didn't disappoint at all. The review score average definitely held up. We got tacos here. I got three Asada tacos and I have to say that these tacos are the best I have had in recent memory. And I am all about tacos. I mean I LOVE tacos so that is saying a lot as I am such a snob with Mexican food. I can say with quite a bit of confidence... and this is even a bigger statement... these tacos may very well be the best I have EVER had. Now, I know that's saying a lot but they were so, so good. Months later from our dining experience there I am still thinking about this place. So if I could give more than five stars I most certainly would. Sometimes the no frills restaurants are the best and that is kind of what's going on here. It somewhat arranged with placing your order a tad bit like a cafeteria (but not an actual cafeteria). You place your food order and then wait for it at the end. Lots of customers take their orders to go but there is spots where you can dine in also. Steve and I did just that and we sat and enjoyed our tacos. So what makes me praise these tacos so much? I don't know for sure but the roll out of flavor on your tongue was just magical. The steak I imagine was prepared with perfection and got all of the tender, loving care it needed to be as amazing as it was. The rest of the toppings were great too as well as the sauces and the taco sized tortillas were probably a likely suspect as well in their perfection. It was so perfect. Taco bliss indeed. I long for these tacos again and if we are even somewhat close to Austin seeking this place out will be a no brainer for us.

The brothers traveled around different areas throughout the US trying different variations before deciding how they wanted to style the tacos. This place is in an alley, and it's very unassuming. It's actually considered a "reverse speakeasy" with a gorgous bar with a disco ball in the front, and mouthwatering food in the back. As everything in De Diez are made completely from scratch (including the tortillas), prices are very, very, fair. Service is fast and simple, your food is made in front of you by very friendly workers

The tequila selection was top-notch, and we loved the vibe inside. The bar was cool, clean, and had a great atmosphere. We also tried the tacos, which you can order by scanning a barcode to pull up the food menu. They were fresh, tasty, and delicious! It was a nice bonus to have great food along with great drinks. A big shoutout to Brian, our bartender! He was super friendly, knowledgeable about tequila, and made us feel right at home. We were asking about speakeasy bars in Austin, and Brian recommended their sister bar, Midnight Cowboy. We took his recommendation and checked it out while continuing our night.

Turns out, that combination was filling enough to be the whole thing. The food was very, very good. Still, like some other reviewers, I didn't feel it quite lived up to the hype. Would I have felt differently if I hadn't read those reviews beforehand? Maybe. Attentive staff and very good food deserve credit. I just didn't leave quite as excited as I'd hoped.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
