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

I arrived around 5 p.m., shortly after opening, and the place was already packed. Luckily, I snagged one of the only two seats available at the bar. The decor was fine, but nothing particularly special. The staff were super attentive and clearly very busy. Things moved a little more slowly than I would have liked, but it certainly wasn't for lack of effort. I was considering a happy hour taco when the bartender suggested a half order of the famous Suadero Tacos, made with Wagyu beef. I went with that, plus the Frijoles con Veneno, refried beans with seared panela cheese, and a Don Dario cocktail. I thought that would be the beginning of my meal. 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.

The tortilla chips tasted homemade and guac was quite tasty with jalapeno slices as a garnish. My friend ordered the Sandia cocktail comprised of Lalo, Ancho Reyes, watermelon, lime, and chamoy. I ordered the Frida Kahlo including Don Fulano Blanco, Jalisco 1562, guava, blood orange, lime, black lava Ssalt. Note to self: Don't touch the black lava salt because it rubs off on your hands. She ordered the filete de lomo black angus tenderloin for her entree with blistered shishitos, pipian verde, cebollas, and salsa seca. I ordered the crab relleno which was stuffed with smoked honey cornbread anaheim, jumbo lump blue crab, charred tomatillo sugo, and tamarind. The brussels sprouts side was quite different with crumbled cheese and sliced peppers...I suppose that's where the modern part kicked in. In addition, Armando, our server, was attentive and frequently came to our table to check on us. He also gave an overview of the menu before we made our selections.

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.

As I walked into the restaurant the first thing that caught my eye was all the decorations on the wall and ceiling. I walked up to the hostess and she immediately greeted me with a big smile. When I sat down to wait for my table, someone came up to me and asked if I wanted something to drink. I only had to wait about fifteen minutes for my table. As the host took my to my table I noticed we had to weave in between tables because they were so close. Never did I see an empty table that still had food still on it. Once I was seated and had my menu, my waiter immediately came up to me and asked what I would like to drink and if I wanted an appetizer. I ordered a small queso. The menu as well as the table were clean. But, I was sitting so close to other tables that I felt as if I was listening in on their dinner conversations. As I was flipping through the menu, I noticed Chuy's had a fair amount of choices for entrees but not so many that it makes you feel as if you are reading a novel. Also I noticed that there were no prices that stood out to me as very expensive. The waiter came back with my drink fairly quickly and asked if I needed more time to look at the menu. My order of queso came out and was still very warm. The queso was creamy and tasted like real cheese not just some fake stuff they put in a bowl and warmed up. People came regularly throughout the dinner to give me refills on my water and chips. As I was spending more time looking at the menu I noticed all the paintings they had hanging up that was dealing with spanish culture. All the decorations seemed to be clean. The waiter then came back and took our order. He didn't get annoyed when we asked to take off certain items from our food. Then I went to the bathroom. When I walked in the first thing that hit me was that it smelled like flowers rather than sewage. While the stalls were pretty clean, there were quite a few scraps of paper on the floor that I thought could have been picked up. I waited about twenty minutes for our food to come out. Each one of our dishes came out at the same time and they were all hot. I opened the packet with our utensils in it and the utensils were clean. The food was appetizing to the eye however, the presentation of the food was nothing to spectacular. The food tasted great and all of my meat was cooked properly as well as the beans and rice. I ordered a taco salad and got a whole taco shell bowl of food for $9.99. The price, to me, is inexpensive compared to the quality and the amount of food you get. All of the parts of the salad were organized into separate piles with the lettuce on the bottom. Our waiter came and checked in on us periodically throughout our meal asking if he could bring us anything. He didn't come too often either. After we were finished eating our waiter came and asked if we were in the mood for dessert. Because I had a huge plate of food, sadly I had to decline. He then asked if he could take our plates for us. He then came back with three separate checks one for all of us, and then took the checks. When he returned with the checks, he walked away after dropping them off, and didn't hover when we were writing our tip. As we were ready to leave he said thank you for coming. We then had to try and weave ourselves through the maze of close tables to find the door and leave. Both of the hosts said thank you as well. Overall I really enjoyed my time at Chuy's. They offer a whole experience with their atmosphere, food, and the attitudes of their employers. I had a positive experience and thought the food was some of the best Mexican food I have had. Everything was to my liking, but I do think they could try and separate the tables a bit more so you don't feel as if you are sitting in on strangers conversations. read more

I have to say one thing. Where else can you eat nachos out of the back of an old muscle car? Happy hour is the shiz. I truly believe Chuys has the best rita's in town! I love to slam a couple and munch out after work. The chips here are incredible, and don't even get me started on the creamy jalapeño sauce! You MUST try it. I wish they sold jars of it, I would buy it! The flautas here are to die for, and not sure what they put in the beans, but they are addicting! I've been come here forever- seriously. My parents would pack me up in the carseat and take me as baby. We ate her at least once month my whole childhood. Good times. The "big as yo face" burrito is epic! Love my chicken. :))) and you can't help but love the tacky wacky decor! Thank you chuys! read more

I normally try to avoid Mexican chain restaurants due to the ehem inconsistent quality of food, but I always trust Chuy's to do it right. The atmosphere is pretty standard for what you'd expect, as another reviewer mentioned, but the STAFF can be really awesome sometimes. There are a couple servers at this restaurant, whose names I unfortunately cannot remember, who gave great and friendly customer service. The food is delicious, but lets talk about the elephant in the room: the Purple Rita. This drink will put you on your BUTT. They actually only let you have 2 of them - not that I would ever attempt to drink 3 at my size - and it's worth every penny. Chuy's is lowkey my drink location more than food (which is decent) read more

I have been there so many times with friends for happy hours and dinners and I have ordered so many different things. It is just not that great. There are so many other tex-mex places in town that kick Chuy's butt on flavor. But, I guess for chips and salsa and margaritas- this place will do. read more

I gave this Chuy's 5 stars....not because it's the best Mexican food I've ever had, though it is good and the menu prices are very reasonable.....but because we have gone there at least once a week for the past 5 years and every server we have ever had is courteous, good-spirited, and quick to respond to whatever request we might have. Oh, we always get quoted a higher wait time than we have EVER had to wait. If they tell us 20 min, it's 5....literally. We used to order a drink at the bar, but they seat us too fast!

Ever since i moved to Austin, I've absolutely been in love with Tex Mex food. And I still basically think that Chuy's is the best (not that Taco Cabana and Baby A's aren't damn good).

I love this place and I love the food. They get it out fast and it's always delicious. Plus, their food stays tasty during a DoorDash delivery--I'm picky about ordering from certain places because the integrity of the food can decline (typically high end burgers taste like a hockey puck, breaded items can become soggy, and sometimes fries).

But starting with that American cheese quesadilla did not bode well for the experience (which, by the way, they do not advertise that the quesadilla comes with American cheese, rather than something every other Tex Mex restaurant would use). The tacos were crazy disappointing too. I can appreciate that they make their own tortillas, but the tortillas on our tacos were so thick they overpowered the tacos and were too much to bite through. We sat them aside and ate our tacos with our forks. Seriously?! We absolutely will not be back.

The service was great, but in the two times we visited there was one waitress who seemed a little cold. We'd say thank you for refilling our drinks or getting us more chips and she wouldn't say anything. The other two waitresses on the other hand were very friendly, gave us recommendations for the Churros, and were very welcoming and warm. Inside the restaurant is a very beautiful and vibrant design and makes you feel like you're in the right spot for some good Mexican food. Overall, this is one of the best places I've eaten at in my time in Texas.

Now, if only they would open a location in North Texas, preferably somewhere in the DFW area! This time we enjoyed the Deluxe Fish Tacos, Chicken Tacos, and Chips & Queso. Cabo Bob's has a great combination of fresh ingredients, flavorful food, and a casual atmosphere that makes it an easy favorite. One of my favorite things here, believe it or not, is the drinks! Their mint tea mixed with lemonade makes an absolutely amazing Arnold Palmer. That refreshing combination of mint and citrus is something I look forward to almost as much as the food! Between the tacos, queso, and that delicious mint tea and lemonade combination, Cabo Bob's continues to be a favorite. Now, how about bringing Cabo Bob's to North Texas?

Our child has significant allergies which inhibits us from dining at many of the restaurant we used to frequent at. We called this location specifically to ask about allergy protocols. They have a robust structure in place to prevent issues. Crystal, the on shift manager, helped guide the team to prevent cross contamination of allergens. She has gone above and beyond to ensure that my spouse and I feel comfortable dining at this location. ** for any parent that has a child with severe food allergies, it is always the responsibility of the parent to be ready to rescue if an allergen is introduced. ** I am grateful to be able to dine out at Cabo Bob's and comfortable with the protocols they have put into place. Here is the list of the additional service they provide if you inform them of a food allergy. 1. They will inform a manager or employee that is floating to make the meal. 2. The one providing the service changes gloves and washes their hands. 3. The tortilla is placed on a new sheet of foil and then doesn't touch any of the surfaces with other foods 4. the employee helping you will add the toppings of choice to the tortilla and then hand you the food at check out or at your table.

The menu is not overly complicated. You basically walk in walk up to the counter. Look at the screens and it's not too hard to figure out what you want to eat. I ordered three tacos, the carnitas, nope. Nopales, and fajita de Pollo. I would say the fajita de pollo and the nopales was my two favorites. The carnitas have a different type of seasoning I'm not familiar with and I wasn't as fond of it as I was the chicken and the cactus. Guessing by the way the tortillas looked they were made here at the restaurant and were slightly browned on the outside which really enhances the experience of a taco made well. For the price and the menu options you get, this is a solid place. It will definitely be on our repeat place to eat.
