Lunch
Christina G.

Party up to on a Friday for a late lunch around 2:00 p.m.. We were greeted and sat immediately. It wasn't too busy. The chips and house salsa were complementary and fresh. Great flavor. We both ordered a drink, They came out within about 10 minutes. We also ordered the green sauce which is their Verde. It had really good flavor and some spice to it. I recommend asking for it. I ordered off of the lunch menu pick two mains and two sides for $11.75. So I got the hard tacos and guacamole and queso. It was good. The tacos were really big. The tacos came with lettuce tomato and cheese on the side. It was a small scoop of guac and a small side of queso. Overall the service was super friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

Top shelf margarita, green salsa (delish) and a fully stocked bar. Service was fantastic -- thanks AMY!!

I'm officially DONE with this place. I waited 20+ minutes sitting at the bar. I got chips as FIVE employees meandered behind the bar. They waited on a couple three seats awayand made drinks for them. And all of them utterly failed to acknowledge my existence. I finally asked one of the young men employees (who was watching another man prepare a flight of margs for someone else three feet from me), "Hey, may I at least get some water here?" He gave me a half nod.... Then walked away. I guess the guy at the bar wasn't worth the 20% tip he would have added to the order. I haven't been so COMPLETELY ignored and denied in a restaurant. I don't know what happened to this place. I do know what is going to happen -- along with the loss of my patience today, they lose my endorsement, my recommendation on Yelp and by word of mouth and they lose my frequent business. I won't say what I believe the motivation for my neglect and denial of service was as others were served around me, but suffice it to say GREEN should be the only concern of any service business. And if the choice not to wait on me wasn't based upon what I think it was, there is still absolutely no good reason for intentionally ignoring and driving a customer away. After years of business...

Horchata

I would say this place is the rival of Marisol's for the top Mexican restaurant in Georgetown. I don't give out four or five stars freely for Mexican restaurants. I've decided this place is deserving of 3.5 stars, which I deem as "decent, safe choice", considering the location. Pros? Guacamole has generous amount of avocado and not riddled with tomato and onion. Carne asada, mole, and pastor are the sure fire hits. The Cancun drink is so tasty! They have horchata. Cons: salsa selection leaves so much to be desired. It really makes them appear inauthentic, even for Tex-Mex. Hesitant to get breakfast tacos from them due to non-existence of green spicy salsa, or red spicy salsa (árbol), or a black molcajete salsa. All they have is jalapeño ranch and a very salty green salsa. For their chips, the red salsa is good, I hope they continue to purée it more like it was at this visit because I don't like when it's too chunky.

We were in town to visit family and decided to stop for a bite after coming from the airport. Because my cousin and I love to try new Mexican places we decided to stop into El Nuevo Mexico. To our surprise there was no wait and we lived that it was a bigger Mexican Restaurant with plenty of room. We were immediately sat at our table and greeted by our server. I always ask for suggestions, so our server pointed us to the taco salads which was plenty to eat. I loved that I didn't feel overly stuff once done and it was a good portion of each topping so that one didn't over power the other. The elote was warm and tasty, so tasty that I was excited to have some left over to take with us and munch on the next day !! The queso was real cheese just in case you're wondering. Wishing I'd ordered a bigger size however I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to finish it. My cousin's review of the steak was that it was cut thin which was super nice, helped with it's tenderness. Easy to eat and very flavorful. There was enough for left overs which she enjoyed the next day. We'd certainly stop in again when in Austin next time. Plan to try some other menu items when we do, to see if they are just as good and tasty.

Part of the menu!

The seating was IMMEDIATE at around 11:45AM, our Waiter got our drinks, we looked over the menu, dabbled a bit about the protein choices with him, +I had a Great Time with my Very First Friend in Georgetown! The Food was sooo delicious, I took half of it home! (I think, the Delicious Chips+Dip made it impossible to finish!) The Ambiance was quite mellow for a Saturday afternoon! We were even able to choose our table. I would DEFINITELY come back, again, during these hours!

Danni creates some of the best breakfasts that we have ever had, and her creations could be on any fine dining menu. We met Jeannie, the owner, and she was very nice. We also met some great guests, and one couple lives near us. We really connected and we will be going to lunch with them in two weeks. We will definitely go back and visit on our next trip to Georgetown.

Their mission is to provide employment for adults with special needs and their profits support a vocational program to empower local citizens. When you first enter the building, you see a shop with lots of beautifully crafted and interesting products. Lots to shop here, although prices are high which then again, part of the proceeds go into a good cause and the products are well made. The cafe is located at the back of the shop. We spent a little time browsing the shop before going to the cafe. The cafe itself is so welcoming and spacious! Not a great ton of seating available but there's outdoor seating area with turf, which I can see is a huge plus when cooler weather arrives. I love the signs on the wall, very motivating sayings and quotes. For food, I had the avocado toast with bacon and fried egg and an espresso. It was delicious! Price point was good and food came out hot and fresh. I noticed when we were there, the lady at the counter (presumably the manager) was addressing the patrons by name, which was such a nice touch to see. It feels like this place really cares for their customers and is an established place in the local community. Parking is free and ample spaces available when we went there on a Friday morning. I like this place so much I ended up bringing my family there the following week. Support a good cause and eat a nutritious meal at the same time. Go visit!

It's a gorgeous little place and I was greeted by the sweetest woman named Karen who showed me around and helped me find what I was looking for. You'll have to stop by the cafe too! I don't know what they do to make the mocha I ordered but it came in parts, my oat milk in a cute little pitcher and the chocolate espresso in my mug. It was SO GOOD before I even put the oat milk in!! Oh! And the guys in front of me ordered breakfast burritos and they seemed so excited to be able to return for them that I had to follow suit.

Upon entry we were advised of a 15 minute wait, but looking around the restaurant was nowhere near capacity with the upstairs completely empty, and downstairs there were 2-3 open tables. We were advised after finally being seated that management didn't want to overwhelm the wait staff (to which there was only one working). The hostess did help out with minor table duties on occasion, but management never once lifted a finger in the front of the house, nor made themselves available. I don't know the circumstances for how they got into this situation (lack of staff), but I do know there are a lot more people looking for jobs, then jobs available. Possibly it was a back of the house staffing issue in this case, as the front of the house server, really wasn't that busy. There was still plenty of time for the manager and assistants to be on their cell phones. Wait staff present seemed to be new, so the blame can't be placed on them. Case in point, a part of 8 came in and were told to wait, to which they did, all the while the table they eventually sat in (20-30 minutes later) lay open the entire time. When they were seated they inquired about appetizers and drinks. One comment from the party (to other members of their party) "we could have sat here the whole time" which was true. They could have been drinking drinks, socializing instead of sitting on the wooden waiting benches. During the time we dined at least a dozen individuals either left the restaurant after finding out the wait times, or upon entering seeing the full waiting area decided to dine elsewhere. Service was slow (as expected with one server), but what was odd, is other than the back of the house staff (helping to deliver food), nobody else pitched in much to try and help (other than table setting or clearing). Sometimes crowds come and go, but when business is good, you hustle, and when business is slow you can relax a bit. If there is non-stop business, then it's time to increase the wait staff. The server who was working was pleasant, but offered no apologies or explanations as to why everything was running so slowly. Sometimes just a quick apology goes a long ways. Food was fine, although it was obvious it had been sitting a little while before arriving at the table. Drink glasses were not refilled, asked about the entire evening. When the meal was finished, it took quite a while for the server to recognize, before clearing or payment. I know this is not an upscale restaurant, but management needs to handle the staffing better, and pitch in when needed.

I placed a curbside order for the Avocado Toast with a side of scrambled eggs. The Avocado Toast was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of my meal. I would gladly order it again. The scrambled eggs, however, were overcooked for my taste and had already been seasoned with salt and pepper. Since I prefer to season my own eggs, I think it would be better if the restaurant left them unseasoned and provided salt and pepper packets so guests could season them according to their preferences. Also, there weren't any eating utensils in the container either. My other concern was the curbside pickup experience. There didn't appear to be a designated curbside pickup area, and I had to repeatedly blow my horn so the person could locate me where I was parked. A clearly marked pickup space or a more efficient notification process would greatly improve the customer experience. Overall, the food, especially the Avocado Toast, was very good, and I would return. With a few improvements to the curbside service and a little more flexibility in how the eggs are prepared, the experience could be even better.
