    Bobcat Bowl
    Jasmine H.

    Fireee!! My go to in undergrad! Love the customization of bowls! Similar to chipotle but more healthy and more options. Service always super quick which is convenient! This place is in a great spot too- love how it's right next to HOTWORX! The interior is fast casual vibes- with plenty of seating inside! The Bobcat bowl is a must!!

    This was my first time having fresco and it surely lived up to the hype! I made a custom bowl with the following ingredients: shredded kale, cilantro lime brown rice, cuban style black beans, citrus chipotle glazed tofu, roasted sweet potatoes, cherry tomato pico, charred corn, pickled onion, marinated garbanzos, cucumber, 1/2 order of sweet and spicy brussels sprouts topped with a fresh lime squeeze and a side of citrus cilantro vinaigrette! As tasty as it was, I'd probably get double vinaigrette next time to balance the dryness of some ingredients (garbanzo beans, etc) Unfortunately I can't speak on the ambiance of the restaurant as I got it delivered through DoorDash, but as for the service-- it didn't take as long as I'd expected! Will definitely order from here again. Healthy and fulfilling.

    We were looking for a healthy option in San Marcos. It seems like most options are pretty heavy and unhealthy. We passed by Fresco and were curious by the title so we looked it up on yelp. All the reviews were great so we were excited to try it. Absolutely love the flavor explosions of so much stuff going on, so many flavors. We were only in the area for a limited time but as soon as we found this place we came three days in a row. The tofu and the brussels sprouts are probably some of my favorite choices. They have some great options that are already designed but our favorite was the build your own. The fresh Fresca juices were amazing. They were definitely a highlight to the meal. Absolutely delicious and a must try. The bowls are big so you could actually eat them over to Mills but they're so delicious you're gonna wanna eat them as one.

    Delicious, colorful, healthy, super nice employees. It just wins. Thank you for doing an excellent job, Fresco. Props for all the vegan options

    El hippie + roasted corn. I mixed the passion fruit/tajin with the pineapple/cucumber juices. So bomb!

    Was in traffic on the way to the outlets and starving. Saw this on yelp and was like ehhh why not I'm hungry. Best surprise getting an incredible meal on a whim! Big portions, delicious dressing, fresh ingredients. The girls working were very friendly and nice too. The juices were so so yummy. Asked one of the employees if there is one in Austin and she said it's the only location but they're hoping to expand, I hope so too! Def will be back.

    Love love love fresco, so filling and guilt free after eating. My fav is the chicken and sweet potatoes. If you try get the yogurt avocado sauce it's amazing

    Build your own bowl.  Allison chose everything!  I'm so grateful for this find today!

    God knew what I needed. He always does. So He led me here, my new favorite. This was my first time here so I didn't know what to get. I just knew that I'm all plant-based right now so no meat or dairy for me. I let Allison build my bowl for me. That was risky because of how picky I am. Like my kindred sister or something, she hooked me up with all my favorites. She just knew. That grain bowl was like having a Holy Spirit-filled revival service in my mouth. So. Much. FLAVOR!!! And hecka healthy I might do that again on my next visit if she's there. I'm so grateful for this find!!

    Loaded and delicious! Two types of salad, quinoa and rice and all the veggies. Love the cilantro lemon vinaigrette

    This place is amazing with the customization options! I'm on a fiber enhanced diet right now so I was able to pick some better options than other places that are similar to this business model. I enjoyed the variety of bases that they have. As you can see my bowl was runneth over...I went with a friend and she got less toppings same price though. Also adding in extra toppings isn't an arm and a leg. If I lived closer I'd definitely be going here on a weekly basis

The meat is seasoned and hits the spot every time - it doesn't matter what meat you get because it is all great! Tons of variation on their menu. I get the bowls with rice and lettuce a plus every topping under the sun and garlic/harissa sauce. Chicken is great, beef is great, and I could eat their falafel all day. I love getting the bowls with their various pickled veggies for the contrast in tastes. Dolma is delicious, the kebabs are delicious, the fries loaded with deliciousness are in fact delicious, and the prices for all dishes are very reasonable. Food can take a little longer, but only because the food is cooked fresh to order and not sitting in a metal container overcooking. Their pitas are stuffed to a brim with toppings and meat, and I could eat their hummus all day every day. Every time we come to San Marcos I have to try to force myself to try something new - it's hard, but we always find ourselves back at Halal Project happily full every time.

The veggies were, as always, beautiful and fresh. Halfway through I did remark to Mr R that Halal Project definitely has more flavor than Taziki, and he agreed. It did take a little longer than expected (mostly noticeable bc it's a day we had a plane to catch) but not outrageous and the results were indisputably worth it. Love to whoever wrapped these gyros sturdily enough to make eating them in the car NOT a complete disaster; we will continue to enjoy this local delight.

Definitely avoids the crowds. We arrived and the place was maybe 1/3 full. They had a steady stream and even more take outs/food deliveries, so I knew the place was good. We just found a quite dark corner and tucked in. Started off with the A1. Shrimp & Pork fried egg roll. It was a perfect Vietnamese egg roll. You can definitely tell the national differences across the different countries and I think Vietnamese style are my favorite. Very tasty and I love the texture. We had a Blue Moon that is only second to Tsing Tao beer at an Asian restaurant. For the main course I went with the B5. Shrimp Stir Fry Noodle (Vermicelli) Bowl. It tasted very good! Glad I went with it. Next time I'll try a pork or beef. For some reason the tails are attached to the shrimp. I get it likely is much more flavorful and easier, but it is always awkward to dissect them when you are eating. I'm pretty nimble with chop sticks but I'm not a pro, so I just eat them with my hands with the tails on. But they tasted great! And the bowl was HUGE. I need to eat thru more of the menu and we will definitely be stopping by again to troll thru it.

    Kerbey Lane Cafe is an Austin favorite and it's where we went for our Mother's Day Brunch…read more This location is in the middle of downtown San Marco on the river. We called early in the morning and made reservations for 11:00am and we were seated right away. The servers are friendly and very patient. It's breakfast or lunch your choice. They have a nice menu of beverages and today's choice was cinnamon swirl latte. For breakfast I ordered Harvest (V, GF) breakfast with a blueberry pancake and fruit on the side. This omelet was filled with avocado and was really good. I have been to other locations and they are consistent. Overall it was enjoyable.

Definitely not the best first impression. HOWEVER... once they realized the mistake, we were seated immediately, so I'll give credit where it's due. Now for the good stuff--the food and the vibes saved this whole experience. The restaurant itself was super cute and honestly a whole aesthetic. It gave this modern 21st-century feel mixed with subtle 70s vibes--very stylish, warm, and just a really fun atmosphere to be in. And the FOOD? Worth it. The Migas plate was absolutely bomb--hands down my favorite dish. My husband's steak and eggs came in strong right behind it, and the French toast was also really good. The pancakes were a little overhyped in my opinion, not bad, just didn't live up to the hype. Even the appetizer and my martini were on point. Which, by the way I ordered my Migas plate with green chili sour cream sauce on the side because other reviews did not look good of the Migas with it mixed in/smothered on top, but after trying it, I ended up LOVING it. Was so good !!! Overall, everything from the vibe to the food delivered...just don't fully trust the wait time you're given 4.5/5 because the kitchen and aesthetic carried, not the front-of-house timing.

    Beware of the "5 Star" Reviews…read more Offering free drinks/apps in exchange. I do want to point out that I never submit reviews. Went in and sat down quick, yet the food took over an hour. We sat, ordered drinks along with the food when we got there. After we realized the people around us that arrived significantly later were already paying to leave, we got up to ask about our food as it had easily been 40 minutes. Got told it would be a couple of minutes, gave us waters. Mind you, we are now over an hour into waiting. Food started to roll out and we kept getting offered free chips in the meantime- sorry but this solves the situation how? We are now going to be full of chips and not food. 2 of the meals still took an extra 20 min after the majority rolled out and of course, my parents' food came out COLD. What were we waiting for on this exactly? A lady, who I am assuming is the manager, came to apologize, told us she would remove the 2 items from the ticket. We were understanding. However, she then admitted they dropped the ball- this is where this place really lost us. She stated that they tried to reheat the plates and just pass it as "fresh." Thank you for finally being honest but this truly just gave me a bad image of management. I felt like they just threw the team under the bus. We asked for the check and when we asked if she did comp the 2 plates, she gave an attitude responding, "I did, I fixed it" and then proceeded to send someone else to check us out. That is not how you manage or take ownership. As a manager myself, you take care of the person full on through to try and turn the situation around. Had she done that or had the staff communicated that they messed up when we had initially asked, we would've been completely fine instead all that happened here. We were in there for about 2.5 hours. Unfortunately left disappointed due to the good reviews we initially saw.
