Great family owned and staffed spot in the SE Austin neighborhood. Appreciated the decor, attention to detail, and extensive bar/food menus! Favorite dish was the queso fundido (we opted for the poblano peppers on this trip and next time we'll get the original chorizo). Would probably not order the carne asada next time, as we would probably opt to try some of their other options like the fajitas! Great spot, where we didn't have to wait on a Friday evening. Will be back! read more

No lo recomiendo !!!! Fuimos el día 29 de Octubre para nuestro aniversario. El restaurante estaba muy vacío solo una mesa y aún así el servicio estuvo pésimo. Mi esposo ordenó la mix fajita y al servir la comida solo llegó beef y camarón. Nunca le avisaron que no tenían pollo, además no le dieron las tortillas que el pidió. Aparte se le tuvo que pedir dos meses a la mesera por Tajín. No estuvo pendiente de nosotros. Así que por esa razón decidimos dejar 0 tip en un Bill de $50 pero luego nos damos cuenta que hay un cobro de $60, así que ella agregó $10 de tip. Convirtiendo en 0 en 10 y el 50 en 60. Cuando nos damos cuenta llamamos preguntando por el manager y Ana nos dice que no estaba pero que le pasaría el recado y que nos llamarían para atrás pero nunca lo hicieron. Falta de ética por parte del negocio We went on October 29th for our anniversary. The restaurant was almost empty -- only one other table -- and yet the service was terrible. My husband ordered the mix fajitas, and when the food was served, it only came with beef and shrimp. They never told him they were out of chicken, and he also didn't get the tortillas he asked for. On top of that, we had to ask the waitress twice for Tajín. She wasn't attentive to us at all. For that reason, we decided to leave a 0 tip on a $50 bill, but later we noticed we were charged $60 -- meaning she added a $10 tip herself, changing the 0 to a 10 and the 50 to 60. When we realized it, we called and asked for the manager, but Ana told us he wasn't there and that she would pass along the message and someone would call us back -- but no one ever did. That's a complete lack of ethics from the business. read more

100% would recommend this restaurant for a relaxing environment that's not too overstimulating. I also recommend sitting outside if the weather feels good for you. I worked with a waitress named Ana, who showed me how the enchilada plate vegan by stuffing it was mushrooms and the sauce of my choose. Ana was amazing, and I got to practice my Spanish with her and it was so much fun. She was so patient with me Parking is extremely easy. Close to town, but tucked away for a more relaxing vibe. Also... best chips and green sauce I've ever tasted in a WHILE! read more

Is this place still open?? Yelp shows hours, Apple Maps shows hours. Showed up place locked up. Did an online order and fighting to get a refund. Call multiple #'s but no responses. whats the deal? trynna stay away from chain restaurants and support local but you gotta be open so we can buy! read more

Great Mexican food and solid atmosphere! The staff is really friendly and accommodating.

We are so happy to see a great restaurant pop up on the east side of Slaughter. This was our first time in here and we were pleasantly surprised by how nice this place is. Walking in we were immediately greeted and got a table. The restaurant itself isn't huge but they had quite a few tables of different sizes for small and large groups. Our server was so friendly and attentive. We ordered the tacos Mixtas so we could try several varieties. I was a big fan of the bistek but they were all delicious. The chips taste homemade, the salsa is fresh. The rice and beans were great. The ambiance felt a bit clubby with the flashing lights and the loud music, but we also went on a Saturday evening and it seemed like the people coming in were wanting that vibe. In front of the fire place was a pretty red throne chair, it would be great for a birthday photo op. We will definitely be back, next time we will try breakfast. I want to try the menudo I saw on the menu! This might also be a weird aside but the bathrooms are so...so...NICE. Like fancy doors and stalls. read more

I'm SO excited to have a restaurant on the east side of the highway!! They are located on east Slaughter lane. The chips were disappointing and seemed store bought but the salsa was good. The birria tacos could use more flavor but it was my first time trying birria tacos so I have nothing to compare. The guaraches were really good. There was a mariachi band the night we went. It was a nice surprise for the night. I can't wait to try the taco bar next time. It's only open from 10am-4pm, I believe. read more

The staff is so friendly and nice. Very relaxed environment and this breakfast was amazing. I've been for lunch and dinner but this is my favorite so far. The only reason it's not 5 stars is the frozen margaritas are so weakkkkkkkkkkk. Gotta have better margs and a happy hour! read more

Was looking for a close restaurant luckily this one has just opened tucked into slaughter lane past I35. The service was awesome the employees kept checking on us and provided us quickly with any necessities. The restaurant is a casual Mexican bar they do frequent events as there are poster promos. It's a neighborhood restaurant, so it can be popular all at once pick a good hour or go early. There's a good variety of drinks (definitely grab one) and a large selection of traditional Mexican. I got Tacos de canastas (sweaty tacos) because it's rare to be a menu item read more

Solid four start experience. Really attentive service. Had the birria and al pastor tacos. Both were good tacos and nice sized portions. They weren't the best I've had an Austin and not worst. Squarely there in between. We'd come back for a casual lunch or dinner. The HH is really good, so will def be back to try that. The free homemade salsa is also delicious. read more

Oh h3ll yeah, not only four tacos for around $12~14, they were juicy, flavorful, and NOT drenched in grease. Wifey had to Sopes; $9 (mind blown), so many layers of texture balanced with the right amount of seasoning. We made room for churros; had my taste buds realize what good churros are, freshly fried with just enough moisture in the middle. Will be back for the rest of the menu =P read more

I truly can remember the last time we had this bad of an experience at any restaurant in ATX and it especially hit home as Mexican food is our calling. With 205 Mex/Tex-Mex joints under our belts this was just plain sad. Service was just down right brutal...we ordered our waters, and a Queso. Waters came first...followed by chips and salsa 5 minutes later...was told our Queso was coming....Mind you there are 3 waitresses and 3-4 customers and there was more socializing then there was service. 15 more minutes pass before I have to get up and ask if our Queso is coming...Its coming she said...5 more minutes she comes out and says they don't have queso...and it just goes down hill from there. We both ordered Enchiladas....wife beef, no beans...double rice....yet only a single serving of rice, which in our opinion the rice just wasn't that good...I went with the chicken, rice and beans...sadly the beans were So bland I had to add salt...something that is unheard for me...again with the rice...ehh....Luckily both enchiladas were rather tasty. Both of our plates had a Guacamole Salad...Lettuce was severely wilted (see photo) and discolored...and the Guac was dark in color and had a "metallic" taste to it.....a true sign that it is days old. Now we also ordered the street corn...Which consisted of nothing but a bowl of watered down corn (see photo)it was literally sitting in water...I understand its steamed corn...but street corn is supposed to be creamy and rich in flavor...this was canned corn at its best...and yet no Tajin (see photo) on top....and they charge 9$ for this...Last but not least, when I went to pay the bill we were told the credit card system was down....something they should make aware to the customers ASAP...including a sign on the door....They were lucky we had cash on us, very rare we do...other then that it would have been a free meal...and truthfully it should have.... This was a shocking visit for sure....I pride myself in my reviews as I take food seriously....its not cheap to go out to eat....and I constantly push for friends/people to break from there regular spots and try something new...this is a type of visit that would ruin it for just about anyone. I wish this place luck and I hope they work to improve on the overall eating experience. read more

Alright. we went to kome y toma to have dinner and were horribly disappointed. the food was eh, but mostly go for the drinks anyways. will not be doing that anymore after we found a NAIL in our DRINK. management couldn't have cared less, they made a joke about it being a "screwdriver" which would be funny if they comped it. spoiler alert: they didn't. they told us they would comp the drinks, and then only comped the one with the nail. we asked further about it, they argued about taking it off, and then finally did but added miscellaneous charges to make up for the cost of the drink. absolutely ridiculous read more

I was really craving a Migas plate one Sunday morning and gave this a try. Ehhh. I wish I could leave my rate at that. I was unimpressed. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? But the eggs tasted like egg beaters and I couldn't even finish the plate. Tortillas were good. I'm going to give it a shot another day and try something else, but I'm not itching to go back anytime soon. read more

This spot just opened in 2023 and was excited to try it since it was nearby where I live! Some friends and I stopped in after doing some car shopping. We were surprised by a Mariachi Band playing for a a gentlemen's 60th Birthday! Pretty great atmosphere definitely fun for a Birthday celebration. I ordered Tacos in a mix variety of Al Pastor, and Pollo. The tacos were decent, nothing to write home about. My friends ordered the Birria tacos and got the same reactions. I also ordered a Margarita which was really delicious! I would come back for the fun atmosphere if anything else! read more

Environment: This place can either be really quiet OR really loud. If you come during happy hour it's pretty quiet, but if you come after, they usually have something going on (Mariachis, bands, etc.). That is however when this place gets LOUD! Mostly because it's a small restaurant and they still us a mic system. Food: The food here is good, I'll leave it at that. The Tacos de Trompo (pork tacos) is my favorite here. My wife likes the mole here. Drinks: This place used to be horrible for drinks, they were so inconsistent. However, recently this place hired a new bar manager named Adam and he has made a HUGE impact on this place. The drinks are no longer inconsistent and they come out on time. Staff: The staff here seems like they are all mostly family and Spanish is their primary language. If you come here, please just keep in mind that everyone is nice, but there may be a language barrier. Overall: I've been here over a dozen times but that is because it is the closest restaurant to my house. However, this place started off bad but continues to get better. Highly recommend trying it out yourself though. read more

Food is phenomenal, great flavor. The servers are always kind. The food comes out super fast. As opposed to other restaurants their food isn't super greasy which I really like. Their salsa verde is addicting! 10/10 love and recommend. read more

I don't often write a bad review. This will be an exception. Austin has many wonderful places to dine. Our experience, at least tonight, was a miss. The location is wonderfully convenient to Goodnight Ranch. Our server was not knowledgeable with the menu. He had difficulty taking our order due to the volume of the music playing so loudly conversation was difficult. The chips and salsa were great. Our appetizer was okay. The enchiladas suiza were plain sour cream and came out cold. The tampiquena dish was okay, really nothing special. With six servers standing around, nobody asked how our food turned out or could be bothered to refill water. I never hope for a business to fail. I fear this spot won't make it. read more

Stopped by at lunch on a cold breezy day. Had the best bowl of tortilla soup that I've ever had. It wasn't your mom's version. This was loaded with everything lots of chicken and all the fixings. It was so good and really hit the spot. Oh and don't pass on the chips and salsa the salsa was perfect. read more

Kome y Toma - Tortilla soup - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

I really wanted to like this place and gave it a solid 5 tries before forming my rating, solely because it is the only restaurant within 2-3 miles of my home. This shopping strip had been vacant for years and admittedly expectations were high. At first it seemed okay, but over time I've noticed that I've become sick from eating their food and receive different total prices each time for their food. I truly believe at times they decide what to charge each customer rather than charging them what the menu lists as the price. The last straw was when I ordered 4 breakfast tacos that somehow ended up costing over $25. And no, no side of chips and salsa included in that total even though it would still be ridiculous. The order was for 4 Kome Y Toma breakfast tacos which are 3.75 each. How did they get to a total of over $25? The salsas over time have also gotten less spicy and tasty. None of the food to begin with was great, I was only interested in patronizing this place due to convenience and wanting to support a smaller business, but I'm afraid the cost of the food, lack of quality and weird pricing has sent me elsewhere for food. Such a waste of space for this community. read more

I've driven by this place many times, but never thought about going inside to check it out. It's in a little strip center, so I just didn't think the food would be any good. Oh wow, was I wrong! My wife wanted to stop to check out the food truck in the parking lot and I went to go check out Kome y Toma. I was surprised by how large it was. I was also surprised by how nice it looked inside based on my expectations. It's beautiful on the inside, decorated quite nicely. I sat down at a table near the bar and they brought out salsa and chips. The salsa is hands down the best salsa I've ever had at any restaurant. They also have the perfect chips to go with the salsa. I ordered a house margarita and some queso dip. Both were amazing. I ordered some tortilla soup to go and a margarita to go. I was shocked that the frozen house margarita was in a 16oz styrofoam cup. I expected something much smaller. Since then, my wife and I have become hooked on this place. I figured I was take some pics for a Yelp review when we were they a few days ago. Last thing I'll say is if you're near this place, STOP and visit this restaurant. Everything I've ordered there has been incredibly tasty. The food is well seasoned, well-prepared and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Here's a few pics! read more

My husband and I live nearby and really wanted to like this place. We came in for dinner on February 2, 2023 around 5pm. We started off with two sodas and chips and salsa. Sodas are sold by the can which I know is more common in Mexico but carbonation and free refills are pretty standard in restaurants here but no big deal just a little odd. Then we got the complementary chips and salsa which was honestly really great.. some of the best salsa I've had in a while and I love trying different salsas. The salsa here was well blended, smooth with the perfect amount of heat and amazing flavor. Things were off to a great start so we were really excited to get our food. Then came the entrees. My husband got the birria tacos which he said were ok but they were not crispy at all even though they specifically asked if he wanted them crispy when he ordered. I ordered two veggie tacos on corn tortillas. I got two tacos with a very strange assortment of vegetables- broccoli, cauliflower, snap peas and mushrooms. There was no cheese, no rice and beans and no pico; literally just a plate with two corn tortillas and some undercooked, crunchy veggies and pale mushrooms that hadn't been grilled long enough. I was bummed but tried something else. I ordered the veggie enchiladas hoping it wasn't the same weird vegetables and that maybe the cheese would help. What I got was exactly what I feared and the cheese didn't help. I think they actually used the same veggies from the tacos I sent back because the broccoli was the same shade of yellow. I didn't send the second plate back, but I didn't ask for a to go box either and our waitress didn't seem to care why I left without eating anything but chips and salsa. Management/owners might want to encourage the wait staff to ask about food that isn't eaten. I left my plate on the table exactly as the picture looks and the waitress made no attempt to make us happy. I decided to pay for the enchiladas because I know this is a small business and I hope they succeed, but with Don Dario's and Serranos just down the street, they need to improve their food as soon as possible. We ended up leaving and I got veggie enchiladas from Serranos which contained vegetables that made a lot more sense; mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, and onion all grilled and not crunchy. I really hope this place improves. It's so close to our house and we'd love to not have to cross 35 for good food. We will come back in a few months and try again, if they're still around. read more

I moved to Texas from San Diego a few years ago and have been on the hunt for some good Al pastor tacos. I came across Kome Y Toma while looking for a place to eat on the way to the Peppermint Parkway light show. The service was excellent! We were met at the door and seated right away. Our waitress was very helpful and was able to accommodate my friend's request for ground beef tacos even though they werent on the menu. I ordered the Al Pastor taco plate. 4 street sized tacos stuffed with amazing Al pastor meat! Plenty of cilantro and onions too. They definitely don't skimp on portions. The chips and salsa were tasty too! Our waitress checked on us often, kept our glasses full & and the chip basket topped off. The restaurant has only been open for several months, but made a big impression on me. Even the manager came by and said hello. Super friendly folks! Located in a new strip mall with plenty of parking! read more

I found this place in IG and was intrigued so I figured I would give them a try next time I was in South Austin. From the get go the service was outstanding. Every single employee was so nice and pleasant. We ordered the queso flameado with flour tortillas, the flautas (half beef and half chicken), the taco sampler and pizza with fries. The queso flameado was delicious, probably one of the best and least greasy that I've had and I've had a ton. The chicken flautas were so much better than the beef ones and now I understand why most places only serve chicken flautas. The brisket taco was the best one from the sampler. The others were okay, but would probably order something else next time. The pizza had pepperoni and it was microwaveable, so my kids were not crazy about it. The did love the brownie dessert with ice cream. Overall, extremely happy I got to try this place and will definitely be back to try other dishes and drinks. Their creamy green salsa is a must try. read more

definitely not kid friendly, be prepared to get judge by the servers if your toddler accidentally drops food. Food is not good, and PLEASE ask what it comes with because if you don't like what's in it and want to add something to it they will judge you and add $1 to anything extra you want. Not happy about the Service after driving an hour to this place read more
