Boy do I wish it had been a drinking day when I was at Mezcal and Salt!…read more * * * Mezcal and Salt is a nicely furnished midscale Mexican restaurant on Montopolis Drive. The clientele is working class but the room feels middle class all the way. By day the place gets tons of sunlight making it a cheery happy place. By night, there are colorful neon lights to keep the festive spirit alive. * * * The house specialty is Mezcal cocktails. They make no fewer than 10 of them. I have not seen any of these in any list of house drinks I have ever seen. Even though the establishment is called Mezcal and Salt, They only stock three kinds of Mezcal. I will make two ignorant guesses: a) Those three Mezcals are chosen because they have different tastes. The house cocktails use each of the three for specific purposes in making specific drinks. b) Those house Mezcal drinks are probably wonderful. The waitress bubbled enthusiastically about one of her favorites. I don't think she was giving a canned sales spiel. I think she meant it and she loves the drink. * * * There would be no reason for waitresses at Mezcal and Salt to ever need to give canned sales spiels. The establishment draws large crowds. At 3:30 pm on a Sunday towards the end of the Almeurzo del Domingo rush, there were still plenty of people in the restaurant. More importantly, new customers kept coming in. There is a giant vacant lot next to the restaurant with signs marking the lot as extra parking. A restaurant only buys a next door lot for parking if they really need it. * * * I was food only that day. What I had was a mix - but a mix that was good enough to make it easily worthwhile to come back. My chips and salsa were perfectly adequate but no great shakes. My ceviche tostada started as being no great shakes. But they had lime and bottled Salsa Victoria on the table. They had the lime and Salsa Victoria on the table for a reason. Once you put lime and Salsa Victoria on the tostada The tostada went from ho hum to great eating. I went from bored to in love. You don't blame a Southern restaurant for putting salt and pepper on your table and serving you under-salted food. You put on your own salt and pepper and then everything is perfect. The same applies with lime and Salsa Victoria here. It is part of the kitchen's plan. * * * I totally want to come back on an occasion when I can dig into those Mezcal drinks. Since I would have a long drive home, The rest of the plan would be eating my way through a decent chunk of their menu. * * * Any place that needs two parking lots to hold all their customers has to be taken seriously.

I'm not Mexican, so I'm not pretending to be an expert on Mexican food. I'm simply sharing this…read morefrom the point of view of someone who travels a lot and has tried Mexican food in many different places, all with their own style. And with that said, this was honestly the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. Taqueria El Compa was so good, I had to order twice. The first thing I tried was the agua de Jamaica, and you could immediately tell it was made from scratch. It was fresh, flavorful, not overly sweet, and the portion was generous. The cup was huge, about half a liter, and it was exactly what I needed after coming from the airport starving. For tacos, I first ordered three: chicken, beef, and carne asada. They were served on corn tortillas, not flour, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. They came topped with avocado, white onion, cilantro, and cucumber on the side, and every bite was delicious. The meat portions were generous, and the flavors were incredible. The green sauce was amazing, and the red sauce had real heat, so be careful if you're sensitive to spice. It was so good that I went back and ordered three more tacos. That says everything. The prices were also very fair. My first order, three tacos plus the agua de Jamaica, was only $16. My second order, three more tacos, was $12. For the quality, freshness, and portion size, I thought it was absolutely worth it. What made the experience even better was the service. I had almost finished my drink and asked if they could add a little more ice to my cup. Not only did she add ice, she added more agua de Jamaica too and didn't charge me anything extra. That kind of care means a lot. It felt like eating at a family member's house, where they genuinely want you to enjoy your food and leave happy. This place is clearly loved for a reason. While I was there, several people came in to order, mostly for takeout, so it definitely stays busy. I only found it because it was about 3 miles from the airport and had great reviews, and now I completely understand why. If I could give this place 100 stars, I would. The food was outstanding, the service was kind and generous, and the whole experience felt special. If I ever come back to Austin, I will absolutely return.

Server told us would be 20-30 minutes wait, we wanted to leave but decided to stay. They offered some available chairs to sit down while waiting but chairs were limited, first come first serve. After 15-20 minutes waiting, server came to sit us down. They served us complimentary tortillas chips with salad sauce on the house. We ordered one veggi beef soup with corn tortillas, another grilled beef with fried eggs and beans and fries, and another cactus salad. They were delicious. The beef in the soup was so juicy and tender, filled with favors from spices. The grilled beef was marinated with exotic spices and grilled to well done. Very juicy and smoky. We got two sparking water with lime slices to finish out meals. Servers were friendly and easy to work with. I would recommend you.

This is the best taco place I have found since I've moved!…read more I don't know how often I will come back here I don't know that it's that easy to find parking in this area. We walked from the hotel and ended up eating here twice! I had the extra cheesy volcan tacos they were so good I could smell how they tasted when I walked in. The carve asada was a little salty but it didn't stop me from devouring them! If you come in down the alley like we did you'll walk through what looks to be a little bar area walk-through there and then follow the signs to find the tacos. There were some people walking in with small children as we were walking out and they looked confused walking into the bar and I showed them just keep going you'll find the tacos and then they laughed. Everyone inside was nice and very friendly they run a super efficient operation and it's very clean. Soon as someone gets up somebody cleans the table because somebody's already waiting for a table. The whole thing is like an assembly line you get in line you order you get in line you get your food you walk around the corner and you get a table. Keep it moving people! This is just an amazing taco place with some amazing people highly recommend if you are in the area to go for it. The second time we came back and got more tacos to go and had to pay for parking around the corner so I don't know that it's convenient unless you're walking because parking was really expensive over there I think we paid $20 for 15 minutes.

Why 5 stars? Because this absolutely nailed my craving…read more --- --- --- My friend and I had big ambitions to eat nothing but BBQ during our 4 days in Austin. We weren't even fully through day #2 and were already sick of BBQ. He broke the seal first and suggested Mexican. I found Taqueria De Diez in my bookmarks, and dinner plans were set. This was one of those meals where I was walking out with a pep in my step because I got exactly what I needed. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla + two tacos: Campechana and adobada. I don't even know what my favorite thing was. They were all excellent. The only slight miss were the beans, which were kind of oddly watery. But everything else was perfect, including the jamaica agua fresca. I ended up returning the next night and ordered a carne asada burrito. I didn't love it quite as much, but this is still an easy 5-star review for me. Note: this is not the easiest place to find. You literally have to walk in between some big, orange road blockers (is that what you call them?), to enter an alley. You then walk into a small bar, and then from there, you enter the actual restaurant. It's like a taco speakeasy, and it's glorious.

We didn't see our server until we were done eating, cause we needed to go pay so we only saw her once to take our drink and our last to give us a ticket and the containers overall, the food was not as great I was really bothered by their service.

It was either too busy or just out of the way for me. At my girlfriend's request, she wanted De Nada. We got De Nada. With no reservations and no plans on a mid-Saturday, we were understandably banished to the outdoor tables. It was a hot day, but with the fan blowing and the cold drinks flowing, I thought we'd be alright. We scanned their QR code menu and got our drinks ordered. Me with a Modelo Negra, and my girlfriend with their Beso De Sandia frozen, with Mezcal, Chamoy, watermelon, and lime. We also ordered chips with Queso Blanco and Salsa Verde with our drinks. The queso was brought to us within the minute we ordered. No joke. It was efficient. Capital F fast. With our drinks eventually brought out, we were honestly chilling. My girlfriend previously had a vegan enchilada she really liked that they didn't have this time, so she went for a Camote taco. I went for their Pollo and their Barbacoa. While we waited, we were putting in active work on that queso, which we knew we would feel later. The tacos came out very quickly too. On my Pollo was confit chicken, poblano peppers, cheese, cilantro, and onions. I was hungry at this point of the day, so it wasn't long before I destroyed it. The Barbacoa had beef, habanero salsa, cilantro, and pickled onions. It was also an excellent pick. On both, the blue corn tortillas were thick, added a touch of sweetness, and just made the experience a little more fun. In seeing the pink menus, the overall aesthetic of De Nada, hearing the talk of the town, and just knowing the run around here, I didn't expect De Nada to have cheap tacos. $5.50 for the chicken taco is a little hard to justify, and $7.75 for barbacoa is intense, but everything hit the spot, and we rolled out spending about $50 plus tip between the two of us, so it wasn't anything too out of the ordinary for a lunch. I just do think going in with the expectation that it's those Austin prices, you'll be less shocked down the stretch, and if you're less shocked, you can actually enjoy the great food they throw down here.

They kept telling us we had hit the limit of how many drinks we can have. The limit is two large margaritas per person. All of the cups were on the table, so it was very easy to see that two of the ladies had had two small margaritas and I had had one large margarita. Despite the physical evidence of this, they kept saying they needed to check their order. Well, we would also like them to check the order if they were planning to charge everyone for two large margaritas! Then some friends joined us and the staff said there was a two hour limit to our table. We said we had four new people joining, who were going to order food and drinks, and could we stay with them? They continued to insist that we needed to close out because we had hit the limit, which we hadn't, and then wouldn't let us add chairs to the table. But then they made us move tables to a different section. Now they have still not taken a new drink order because they are claiming we hit the limit that we haven't hit. It's a Wednesday night and there are plenty of open tables and no one with me is actually drunk. What is happening here?
