    Hidden gem alert! It's been a while since I've been here! If you haven't been to Fairways Cantina you are missing OUT! It's located right next to Morris Williams Golf Course. You don't have to partake in golf to come enjoy the tropical margaritas and delicious tacos while enjoying the view! Parking is ample and service was excellent today! I ordered the Shooter McGavin signature taco ($5.75) which included smoked pulled pork, pineapple, cabbage, cotija, cilantro and a sweet pineapple sauce! The pulled pork was sooo tender and juicy and the pineapple was a nice surprise--pretty filling as well. I also tried one of their non alcoholic beers-School Night ($5) (new menu items!) I enjoyed it. It was light and fruity. The queso that came with the Triple Birdie ($10.95) (queso, guacamole and salsa) was spicy and ADDICTIVE!! This was the perfect place to come for a bookclub with my friends and I'll probably come back again this weekend. It was a very peaceful vibe and the food was great.

    We have passed by this place more times then we can count....and the fact is we should have stopped sooner...really cool set up...tables in or out...Cool to watch the balls being sliced left and right...Service was spot on...They have several tacos pre-made, but I opted for the carnitas, egg and cheese...flavorful and hot...great spicy red sauce.

    Okay, I have been meaning to write a review for this place for a while. And Ali(sp?) service made me finally commit to it. Look into the history of the place. It is interesting to say the least. When I first moved into the neighborhood and saw that there was a taco place at a golf club I was uncertain about trying this place out. However The tacos are incredible! Love the fish, love the steak and love the chicken. They know what they are doing! The cocktails are incredible. The price is inexpensive. The patio area, especially around sunset, is gorgeous. And again, this staff. Really, you can tell that the managers and owners place a lot of importance on their staff/customer interactions. I haven't learned too many of the staff members' names but I do know that Ali does a great job. Do not sleep on this place. The locals know. Great tacos, and great drinks.

    What a cute little place tucked away in east Austin. It overlooks the golf course so the views are expansive and gorgeous. They have a nice patio to sit out on when the weather is nice. When you step inside it's a really nondescript cantina, almost like a small canteen but when you try the food, you'll see why this is a must-add to your list of taco places in the city! The tacos are hearty, bursting with flavor and veryyyy affordable. A great spot to get some good food and yap with friends! The staff is super nice, friendly and attentive, 11/10 would go again!

    The food was great and came out pretty quick. This is a perfect spot for golfing at the range. Would recommend for remote work, hit the range and get some tacos.

    It was our first time here and we were so impressed with everything! The food, drinks, atmosphere & service were all great! We tried a few different margaritas on the menu - all of them were great! The chips and queso were my favorite part, the queso is a little spicy which I love, but if you don't like spice you might not like it. The quesadillas, tacos, rice and beans were all great as well! It's a super cute place with lots of seating options, we didn't golf but it was fun to people watch while we ate! I would definitely recommend for a fun outing with friends!

    Delicious food! We tried the Green Jacket ( beer fried avocado taco), the Great White Shark, and the chicken tinga taco! Everything was so fresh! Presentation was outstanding too! Fun watching everyone practicing their golf swings while we ate.

    Try this place next time you are in the Mueller area! Came back after discovering this Cafe was open to the public not just golfers, and it's delicious. Highlights include- the faraway salsa (it's made in house and a new favorite of ours), the shooter McGavin taco, and the pink panther cocktail. Other great options- the fried fish taco was solid, the quesadilla with a side of queso to dip is delicious, and really all their cocktails are great. They also have can beer, cider and white claw for $6 or can wine. I was told that you can buy a can and take it with you while golfing. The setting is lovely on a nice day. Shaded porch or indoor seating, and It's fun watching others playing golf while enjoying tacos and cocktails. Very relaxing, I think this is a new go-to for us!

    There's nothing more refreshing than an ice, cold, frozen margarita from fairways Cantina. My boyfriend and I went to their happy hour, and decided to cool off on a hot day with some margs. they have a variety of margaritas and cocktails, which can all be tried during their happy hours. But today I decided to try their mango Rita, which came with a tajín or salt rim. of course i went with the tajín. The margaritas were nicely strong with a good, sweet taste. One of my pet peeves with margaritas are, when they're overly sweet and you can taste the bitterness of the tequila or vodka, but that was not the case with the fairway cantinas margaritas. It was a perfectly balanced marg. We ended up having way too many of the same margarita that we didn't get to try the other ones, but I will definitely need to come back to trade the rest of their drinks and food. The fairways Cantina restaurant is located on a golf course, which has a beautiful little patio area where you can watch people golf. Enjoy the beautiful Austin east area and just relax. Although it was very hot when I went, being in the shade, getting a little bit of the breeze and the cold, marg just made the day a whole lot better. So if you wanna just people watch and drink, I definitely recommend it.

The staff is super knowledgeable and passionate, and they take the time to walk you through the differences in flavor, region, and even who made it. You can tell they really care about honoring the traditions and the people behind the spirits. Cocktails are thoughtful and seasonal, but I'd recommend trying at least one pour neat. The food is just as good, as you might have guessed by the menu next door. The thick cut tortilla chips are unbeatable, especially when paired with fresh guacamole and homemade salsa. Whether you're a mezcal nerd or just curious, La Mezca is one of the most unique and thoughtful drinking experiences in Austin. I'll definitely be back.

Rosé Gosé was a delightful Mother's Day lunch spot. It is a whole vibe, and it is uniquely French! When we walked in an artist was playing romantic music on his keyboard, which set the tone for the brunch. It is a small restaurant inside with a larger area of seating on the patio. Of course, our reservations were inside in the comforts of air conditioning. You immediately notice a wine wall hence the name Rosé Gosé. The restaurant has many windows which provide lots of natural light. The tables house miniature yellow roses and utensils sat in a small wooden block...very French. All the servers were dressed in mauve clothing that resemble scrubs from a hospital. If someone stepped out in a French beret, I would have fallen over. Our server, Sergey, immediately served us water and took our order. The restaurant was highlighted as a modern European bistro. The atmosphere was charming, elegant, and stylish making it ideal for a Mother's Day brunch. My hubby ordered a ribeye, eggs and French Fries. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and egg whites. While I'm not a huge red meat eater, I tasted a piece of the hubs ribeye and it was nicely prepared. My avocado toast was yummy to the nth degree! Everything was perfect. The avocado was precisely cut and at the right level of softness. The salmon was chopped into tiny little squares and so enjoyable to eat. We could not be more pleased. With a name like Rosé Gosé you would expect their drinks to be superb. My hubby ordered a hibiscus tea, which was delightful. I ordered a mimosa that had high quality ingredients and was perfectly balanced...so smooth. We were also pleased with the drinks. This was the first time at Rosé Gosé, however, it definitely will not be the last.

Their food is also pretty decent, but I primarily go there for the drinks. Gotta get my wraps done before it actually closes down because I still don't know how to stay around

When you enter, you'll see the infamous black paint on white walls mural but then you're transformed into something more. An elegant and elevated high-end speakeasy that transports you to what life in speakeasy settings must have felt like in the days of olde. Who doesn't love being greeted by a tasteful, giant, fake bear with welcome cocktails? The low-lit space brings a feeling of warmth, secrecy, romance, and mystery. You absolutely get the feeling you're in a special and secret hideaway space. From the refined wallpaper to hand blown glass lighting fixtures to the lush and velvety sofa seating, you are truly immersed in the vibe. It brings a feeling of noir and romance with even sexier drinks. Being seated in one of the nooks is my favorite and just really adds to the overall experience. If you follow my reviews then you know I often refer to excellent cocktails as liquid works of art. And, in this case, it's like the most exclusive, high-end art gallery of liquid masterpieces. Cocktails with branded cubes, top tier alcohol and other ingredients from around the globe make for a worthy piece of drinkable art. It doesn't end with cocktails! The mocktails are equally as beautiful and delicious. I highly recommend the cocktails and mocktails. Service is exactly what you would expect and want it to be in this environment. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than average but you're paying for art, atmosphere, and experience that is beyond wonderful.
