    Chorizo taco
    Britney B.

    Stopped in on a Friday about noon. It wasn't busy. It's a hole in the wall type of Tex Mex place. The first thing I noticed was the strong smell of fabuloso cleaner. It was very off putting but I was hungry so I decided to deal with it. I was greeted pretty fast after I was sat. Breakfast is served until 3pm. I ordered the Las Guisadas Migas breakfast plate. A chorizo, egg and cheese taco and a Diet Coke. Unfortunately I took most of my food home after filling up on chips and salsa before I got my food. The food was really good. 9/10. Everything was seasoned perfectly. I would have liked more beef in the guisada but the migas made up for that. The chorizo was prefect. Really good food. I'll be back!

    Fajita Sides

    Back in 2019 I gave DK's three stars. The salsa was memorable but the puffy tacos were not. Come to think of it, I have a bad history of not liking them. So, here's the redemption visit brought to you by a long wait at the Discount Tire a few hundred yards away. Seated immediately and the chips/salsa made it to the table quickly. Combo fajitas with shrimp and beef being my dish of choice for the day. Didn't take long and I was assembling my first taco. Props on the poblano strips where most places use boring bell peppers. I did wish the onions had a little better treatment in the dish. Caramelized maybe? Seems they were barely cooked upon arrival. The skirt steak had a nice flavor as did the shrimp. Both flavors paired well with the condiments provided. Nice portions of guac and sour cream for the price. Pico was also abundant and fresh. Rice and beans rounded out the experience; the skillet is empty and my tummy is bulging! I was even offered a beverage togo. Nice redemption DK's; and I'll be back since my fave tex-mex place canned half the menu during covid!

    We ordered a child's BBQ Quesadilla for our son and it was the worst, greasy thing we have ever seen or ordered for our child. Expensive and the worst, I do not recommend the food there at all. I took photos and then threw it away, the dog did not even want it, that is how nasty and greasy it was. We will never go there again. If I could rate it a NO STAR I would. I do not recommend the food there at all

    Dead cricket on the floor

    Probably should have read the reviews before deciding to eat here. Other than poor service and bad attitudes I don't like dining in a dirty restaurant. Asked our server to take a look at what's on the wall next to me. She giggled oh it's a cricket. It was dead and there were other dead crickets in the place. Our server grabbed a napkin to remove the cricket on the wall. Light over our table also needed dusting.

    Beef fajitas taco lunch

    Best beef & chicken fajitas lunch special in South Austin. It comes with grilled poblano peppers, grilled onions and queso fresco starting at $ 11.99.

    Bright open spot. Clearly some regulars at the bar. Fast service and fresh food. We visited on a Friday and surprised at no wait. Cheese quesadillas were amazing. Ruben was our wait staff and he was truly a rockstar. We will 100% be back.

    Cheeeeps and salsa. Salsa pretty good.
    Larry E.

    Actually pretty good this time. Menudo is a different style than I prefer but I customized it and it turned out pretty good. I prefer it spicier but it was not a good day to bring the heat. The Lady had a build your own cheese enchiladas with verde sauce and ate it all. The quac is different than we prefer but still pretty good. I ate her rice which was really good. Excellent and friendly service! I tipped well because of the service. Do I recommend? Yes, but if you want hard core, greasy, very spicy Tex Mex, this does not fit in that category. At least I won't have to have a bucket of ice cubes and a box of matches. :-) . Tip! They have Goat! Next time!

    Stopped for breakfast. Whatever it was I ordered upset my stomach all day long. Adding Velveeta to eggs was pretty nasty.

    Parking? Easy. They have a front lot off Congress and another one off Sandra (just South on…read moreCongress after you pass the bar). The drinks? Oh my gaaahhd. I'm usually not a fan of 'craft cocktails' out bc they're overpriced and not nearly as good as what my partner makes at home, but these were glorious. These drinks had layers of flavor. And fresh ingredients. And they were reasonably priced. Honestly, I don't even remember the last time we had such good drinks out (ok that's a lie but another review and it was at that place where Crowbar used to be - but these win hands down). The bartenders were nice and knowledgeable (Did I mention they make amazing drinks?). The outside has a similar feel to Cosmic but more secluded which is nice. They have plenty of seating, mostly outside, and food from an onsite truck, Sabor Tapatio. Honestly, I feel like this place is a unicorn. 78745 low key vibe but also with some old school Austin feels (I'm talking 2005 mid-Noughties - not 20-teen Rainey Street batch cocktails). They also have coffee in the mornings which we'll be checking out sooner rather than later. 10/10 recommend.

    Met a friend here on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I was happy that it wasn't overcrowded - one of us…read moredid have to utilize the add-on parking in the back. There are plenty of different seating options but very few seats inside. The place is chill, ordering drinks took some time even with no rush. Seems like they have some pre-mixed type of cocktails. Honestly, neither of us liked our drinks much. We actually left it behind. The food truck is nice to have though we didn't get to try. Happy that South Austin is finally seeing some nice spacious outdoor hangout spots.

Meridian is in downtown Buda and is connected to Zoi Wellness. We were able to park in the parking lot across the street. Upon walking in, the space had a rustic loft feel with lots of greenery. The furniture made it feel very cozy. I honestly didn't expect to find a coffee shop like this in Buda. The barista was very nice and gave recommendations. My mom and I both ordered Iced Pecan Pie Lattes which was a seasonal drink that they were featuring. We ordered our drinks to go, but then decided to sit in the cafe and enjoy our beverages. The coffee is legit! We both liked our beverages. I really enjoyed the pecan flavor and the sweetness level was perfect. The barista informed us that they make all of their syrups in house. I noticed that there were plenty of outlets for work or study. There's quite a bit of seating including couches. They have QR codes at each table that you can order from which is so convenient. In addition to coffee (which is served until 5 pm), they also have wellness drinks, wine, beer and cocktails. They have a nice sized stage for live music. I would love to go back in the evening for a cocktail and live music! I'm so happy to have discovered this gem in Buda!
