There can be a line on the weekends and they tend to sell out so keep that in mind. The staff is friendly and service is quick!

It's a small restaurant, but it has a cozy atmosphere that made the whole experience enjoyable. The staff was amazing, friendly, attentive, and on top of everything.

Honestly, I could've made a meal out of just those appetizers. For my entrée, I ordered the lasagna, and let me tell you...the portion was huge! I shared it with four coworkers and still had plenty left for myself. Best of all, it was absolutely delicious. Artipasta did not disappoint.

This tastes like it came straight out of someone's granny's kitchen in SPAIN. D E L I C I O U S. The menu isn't all vegan, but they've done an incredible job offering both traditional and vegan versions without losing any soul. Am I in heaven? Yes. The owner makes it a point to connect with customers, which was refreshing. You can tell this is passion-driven. You order via QR code at your table, then pick up out back when it's ready--easy. Everything is prepped daily in a Commercial kitchen and finished on the truck, and he proudly shared that the ingredients, spices, even the meats are sourced from Spain. Vegan paella? Incredible. Patatas bravas with vegan aioli? My personal favorite, sooo good. My husband loved the jamón serrano sandwich. And whatever you do, don't skip the sourdough rye with tomato spread. They also mix in a few Belgian items to match the bar, which adds to the whole European vibe. I already need to go back for the vegan fideuà and bombas..they were sold out, which tells you everything.

Cold. I bit it a second time because I genuinely couldn't believe it. Meanwhile, the rice was so hot it was still visibly steaming from what I can only assume was a microwave, drowned in a watery gravy I never asked for, next to the old cabbage with solidified liquid. I brought the plate back to the counter, explained the chicken was refrigerator cold, and asked them to reheat it. I'm writing this today with an upset stomach. I wish I could say this was a one-time issue. It's not. I've been trying this restaurant, on and off, for over 15 years, and I kept giving them chance after chance because I wanted so badly for it to be good. I first met the owner when he ran a food truck, before the restaurant existed. I was excited; there weren't many Jamaicans in Austin at the time, and I was happy to support one. The rice and peas was so bad I threw the plate away. Years later, I tried the restaurant location. I ordered curry goat, took it to my car, and found the meat flavorless, fatty, and poorly trimmed; basically inedible. I threw it away in the parking lot. I later ordered oxtail through Uber Eats: flavorless again, poorly prepped meat, and an actual rock in the rice and peas. I tried introducing the child to Jamaican food with one of their beef patties, and it was dry and flavorless. Yesterday I ordered the "safest" thing on the menu, brown stew chicken, specifically because I no longer trust myself to spend real money on anything more ambitious here. I still got food that had clearly been microwaved and reheated unevenly, served with a piece of chicken that was still cold. Are we really selling microwaved leftovers out of an established restaurant with a huge kitchen? Jamaican food is something our culture takes real pride in. This restaurant has had a decade and a half to get it right, and instead I've watched it consistently cut corners on seasoning, on prep, and now on basic food safety. I don't say this lightly: if you want real Jamaican food, this isn't where you'll find it, and depending on the day, what you're served may not even be handled safely.

I recently visited Con Madre Kitchen, a food truck known for their breakfast burritos and tacos, after reading many positive reviews online. I decided to try their breakfast burrito, which was stuffed with egg, cheese, bacon, chorizo, and veggies. While the food was decent, I didn't quite understand the hype surrounding it and found it to be overpriced. Don't get me wrong, the ingredients were fresh, and the breakfast burrito was not bad. However, it lacked the wow factor that I was expecting based on the reviews. The portion size were quite generous though which is a plus. read more

Even more unfortunate was that I was reminded why I did not care for it the first time. This time I ordered the migas with bacon instead of ham and a taco de pastor with all the trimmings. I was told it would be about 15 minutes. 15 turned into 20 and eventually 30. 30 minutes was an extremely long wait for 2 small, mediocre tacos for almot $9. They lacked seasoning, especially the migas, which also did not have any meat. The pastor was slightly better, but both failed in comparison to other places.

While not every item on the menu has dazzled me (the gordita I tried once didn't quite hit the mark and their guacamole isn't exactly winning any citywide contests,) there's one dish that keeps me coming back without hesitation and helps them maintain their high-accolaids: the Migas Tacos. These tacos are quite frankly, in a league of their own. The eggs are always fluffy; never dry or overcooked. The flour tortillas are consistently warm, fresh, and just slightly crisped on the outside like they've kissed the griddle for just the right amount of time. But the real star of the show -- the component that elevates Pueblo Viejo's Migas to near-legendary status -- is the generous helping of crispy tortilla strips tucked inside. Perfectly salted, addictively crunchy, and somehow never soggy, they bring a contrast and texture that's hard to overstate. There's truly only one other taco joint in Austin that even comes close to matching this degree of crunch factor. Now, allow me to go full taco nerd for a moment: years ago, Pueblo Viejo offered an extra-hot Yucatán-style roasted habanero salsa about which I still fantasize. It was dark, complex, smoky, and unapologetically spicy -- a unicorn in the world of salsa. I ask about it every time I visit, clinging to the hope that it might one day return. Pueblo Viejo has earned a well-deserved spot as the #2 taco destination on my meticulously-ranked list of 160 taco spots across the city [AustinTacoMojo.com]. For that ranking to hold steady visit after visit, you know they're doing something right.

It was $5 and worth every single cent. The taco was made with the perfect amount of sauce, cheese, and meet. Every single bite was absolutely gushing with flavor. I easily could have eaten 10 more of them and been the happiest of campers. I will most likely be back, just to reorder that taco again (hopefully they still have it) ...If you have to know, my first visit was one order of the "Trippy Taco" which I assumed had to be great since it bared the name of the truck itself. Sadly, it was the saddest attempt at a meal I've ever seen and I can only guess it's on the menu as a joke. That being said, the brisket taco is a game changer.
