    Jumbo mango margarita
    Scott D.

    National margaritas day, buy a jumbo and get one for a $1! This one is mango and very very good!

    The food that we had was generally pretty good. The Molcajete is huge and enough to share for two, just ask for more tortillas. The Mushroom quesadilla was excellent. Prices are on the higher side for Mexican food. The restaurant was very clean and service was excellent.

    Enchiladas Potosi

    Very fast service and fresh, delicious food! I went out on a limb and ordered something different because I saw that they had nopales on the menu. Enchiladas Potosi (with roast pork tomatillo sauce, and nopales) is pictured below. My family went with their usual Combo dinners that they get everywhere else and were very happy.

    Salsa was spicy.

    The place was very clean, including the bathrooms. The staff were friendly and the service was fast, and we were checked on often. I just felt like my food lacked taste. It was okay, just kinda bland. It's an okay place to eat. It's tucked away and a little difficult to find. They did screw up my check charging me $64, they voided that and charged the $33 check. I'll have to make sure it works. They provided me a copy of the voided charge.

    Third time I have been here. First time the steak enchiladas were burnt. Second time the enchilada and the plate were cold. So I still decided we would still take a chance for a third time since it's close. Today my daughter and friends ordered the peach daiquiri (virgin) pitcher. The ice was so big it would not suck through the straw. The waitress tried to help, but Emilio (Manager) came by and said he could not help us. I politely said ok and told my daughter to drink from the glass. Waiters was apologetic. Then it came time to pay...they charged more money for the virgin daiquiri than one with alcohol. See pic. So I asked the waitress if that was right. But she said she did not see that and went back to fix it. Emilio came out again and asked if I had a question/problem. I explained I would like the alcohol that I just paid for. He said he would give me a shot of rum. But instead he gave me a shot of a weak liquor kind of like amaretto but more like a mixer. Bottom line...three strikes you're out! Don't go there. There are three other places (Mexican food) within two miles that have way better service, food, and managers!

    Great deal !

    We stopped here for dinner when we were visiting the area and were truly glad we did. The food is wonderful and the drinks were tasty and huge. the service was really good and the entire staff was very attentive to our needs. Our food was served hot and fresh and the quality was excellent. The restaurant was very clean and well laid out. They have some really cool artwork throughout the place. The restrooms were well attended and clean. They do take coupons from their competitors as well which is a really cool feature.

    This is a great place to eat. I had the Del Mar trio, which is grilled lobster, tilapia, and shrimp with queso and pico de Gallo. There are no sides with this entree but believe me, it is very filling. They aren't needed. The lobster was tender and grilled perfectly with minimal char. The shrimp were juicy and cooked perfectly...cleaned perfectly, too. The tilapia was a nice size portion and was very tender and flaky. The queso and pico paired well with this seafood feast. As with most Mexican restaurants, complimentary chips and salsa were provided. Prices are reasonable and the service was great!

    I traveled to Austin earlier this year for work and every Austinite I asked for food…read morerecommendations suggested Torchy's Tacos as a city classic. Regretfully, I never made it to a Torchy's while in Texas--but luckily there's this one right in my backyard at home in Ohio. Torchy's is the Austin institution that went mainstream and is slowly spreading around the country. You'll order on a touchscreen kiosk and choose from tons of different taco and bowl combinations--including breakfast all day! Grab your cup and a buzzer and take a seat; servers will bring out your food as it's ready. I was pretty impressed with the selection overall. From beef to carnitas to chicken to eggs, you can get tons of different taco fillings. The drink station alone is impressive--the typical soda machine options plus iced tea, horchata and even cold brew coffee! There's also a bar if you're inclined to something alcoholic. All of the tacos and the hillbilly queso we ordered were delicious. I was actually impressed with the corn tortillas on my tacos--wasn't expecting them to taste so fresh. Tacos are a great size as well. Two is enough for a decent meal, but they don't pack the toppings on. Any taco you order (I would guess) can be picked up in its entirety. You won't be losing toppings at Torchy's! Service was a bit slow the day I came for lunch but nothing crazy (more like a sit down restaurant than the fast casual it's set up as) and the ambiance is nothing amazing. But the food is delicious, price is decent and I would definitely go back for a little taste of Austin.

    Good location away from the mall parking. Friendly staff…read more Taco were good not knock your socks off but decent. Quick service. Good alcoholic drinks.

But after some searching, they appear to be a regional chain. Okay, I'm always apt to trying new things. So we go here and I walk in and immediately I am confronted with a very laid back theme. I very much liked what I saw. Very California surfing and skateboarding and just laid back. The folks at the counter were very helpful for me considering I was new and had no idea what I was doing. It is what they call the "Chipotle style" where you tell them what you want on your order one at a time. I got a bowl and I started it with the Chiwawa rice ball. Yes it is spelled like that. It's basically a big ball of fried rice that they mashed down and that is the base of the bowl. I then topped it with beef, beans, sriracha ranch, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and probably some other things. In the end this was a heaping dinner that I thoroughly enjoyed for only $10. Definitely was worth it! I feel like I really got my money's worth here. Friends also got similar stuff including the Nashville Hot Chicken Bowl. They have lots of pre-selected things to choose from and I just really want to go back and try some others. Definitely a great place with a great new concept!

Anyone walking in or out would bump the table ( I can't believe fire code would allow a table there) So we were moved over. Drinks I ordered a margarita not expecting anything exciting but it was literally just mixer. I had my wife taste it without saying anything and she said that is just mixer. I just set the 'drink' with two swallows out of way, he asked if I need another, I politely declined. He brought my wife a Blue Moon with a huge orange slice and no glass. Acted miffed that she requested a glass. My wife loves their steak fajitas they came out over cooked, meat had not been marinaded and had been cut with the grain. Basically impossible to eat as a taco. As we were sitting there the host tried to stick a lady in a wheelchair at the table in the patio walkway? I'm not a negative person and rarely complain. I hope this was just a really bad night, but frankly it will be a long time till I try this location again. Sad we have enjoyed this place over the years
