Did you have a Manic Monday...don't worry Maudie's has a HH on Monday's 3 PM - Close that should help ease your day! They have a pretty decent selection of appetizers for $6 each and $7.75 Signature Margs. I went with the Nachos Supreme and Mexican Martini. The Mexican Martini is a great deal since it comes in a shaker. You get about 3-4 drinks out of it. They don't have a super huge parking lot to park, but you can try to find some parking on the street. read more

First time trying this place--I had heard good things, so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. It was honestly some of the worst Tex-Mex I've had. The rice was hard, the trio appetizer tasted like canned beans and packaged guacamole, and the flour tortillas seemed store-bought. The carne guisada was also lacking in flavor. That said, the service was excellent. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and helpful, which I truly appreciated. The atmosphere was just okay--nothing special. I will say, the Mexican martinis were delicious. Overall, while the drinks and service were great, the food was disappointing. read more

Maudie's on South Lamar is dingy and showing its age, but that's only appropriate for all the great classic tex mex chow it's served loving customers for many years. Service is friendly and efficient. Maudie's chips and salsa are happiness. Time for a lighter lunch - combo with queso taco and enchilada. Mercy what a delicious plate of food. I'm an Austin ex-pat that sure wishes he could eat at Maudie's more often. read more

I think this is my favorite location if I am being honest. The service is fast and friendly and the Tex-Mex offerings are good. What more could you ask for? The lunch specials are great. Two crispy tacos and a salad is the special I often grab. read more

This is the "weird uncle" location in the Maudie's chain. It's not slick like the other locations. It's a little divey but the folks are nice. You can tell half the clientele are regulars. Same menu as the others. Chilaquiles is still the go to for breakfast. Add grilled Serranos and it's on point. Good lunch specials. Enchiladas or the really good chile relleno for dinner. I will say, the benefit of going to the weird uncle's place - the cocktails are stronger. read more

We love coming here on Monday because of happy hours. We ordered a few appetizers and Mexican martinis. I like Maudie's and this location has a good ol' vibe and is our favorite of all. read more

Maudie's Too - Monday happy hour - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

Food - awesome Service - very efficient Ambiance - very chill Rajas tacos are tacos filled with chunks of grilled potatoes. "No"cheese makes it "vegan" (plant based) So thank you Maudie's for having an option for vegan eaters. You r o c k.......!! Rajas are simply thin strips of mild chili rellenos.I particularly like the North Lamar location. Because there's plenty of parking. I "also" like the small (quaint) size of the restaurant. BUT........If you get take out, make "sure" you receive everything you paid for........(check your bag). read more

They only have hot sauce to eat with the tortilla chips which by the way are terrible. They don't offer medium or mild. Extremely loud even outside. A Dog roam close the table where we were eating disgusting. Food could be way better. Bottom line there're better places. read more

We went here for an early dinner with our son and daughter in law on a Saturday. We arrived and were quickly seated (chips and salsa were being brought to the table as we sat down) and asked for our drink order. Our drinks we brought out quickly and the server then took our orders. We had guacamole and queso as appetizers which were plenty big enough and delicious. Our food arrived quickly and everything was hot and tasty. The el jefe tamales (my wife's dish) were served with beans and rice. The flavor was great, but it was odd that they were not wrapped in corn husks. The beans and rice were both flavorful and went well either way the tamales. The fajita tacos were well seasoned and very tasty (according to my son) and the quesadilla was very good and stuffed either way delicious filling. I had the chicken chile rellano which came with rice and beans and a couple hot flour tortillas. The beans and rice were very tasty. The rellano was served open face stuffed with shredded chicken and topped with cheese. It was ok, but the chicken lacked full flavor and the cheese sauce was a bit runny. The beer was cold and the margaritas were very good. Overall, a good dinner, with just a few things that could be better. Ambiance: 8/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 9/10 read more

I was in Austin for SXSW and Maudie's Too came highly recommended by a former local, so I hopped a Lyft to have lunch. It totally wasn't worth the hassle and expense. I was hoping for tasty Tex-Mex since I was in Texas, but this place disappointed me in every way imaginable. The "dive bar" vibe is casual and comfortable, with a good-sized outdoor patio. We sat inside since it was a nice day and the patio was packed. This isn't a fancy atmosphere, and usually that's a sign of killer good food. The food here, though, is just okay. I'd more accurately call it "mediocre." We ordered queso and chips, chicken fajitas, enchiladas, and a margarita. Nothing was anything to write home about, and it was standard-issue fare. The fajitas looked like they came out of a bag, and the veggies didn't have that nice caramelized texture. The biggest travesty of all: the tortillas are not homemade. The black beans were disappointing, as was the queso (looked like something I could've made at home with a package of Velveeta). The enchiladas were the best thing about the meal. If you're seeking authentic style food with tons of spice and flavor, you're going to be disappointed in Maudie's Too. Even the margarita was forgettable. This wasn't the worst place I ate in Austin, but it's not somewhere I'd return. And yeah, the bathrooms are DISGUSTING and DIRTY. read more

For mexican on south lamar especially for a family meal I truly think Maudie's is the best option! i liked that the el jefe didn't have corn husks on them bc our table was very full as is and it just made for less mess. they are known for their relleno's my wife enjoyed hers. the salsa is delicious we had to stop ourselves from ordering a third round of chips! will be back shortly read more

I'd heard great things about Maudie's, but I can comfortably say I wouldn't go back. Although the service was incredible, the food was just not good enough to warrant a cleaned plate, let alone a return. The restaurant itself is quaint with fewer tables than I expected, but they have a great patio overlooking south Lamar close enough to see downtown. Unfortunately would not go back. read more

Stopped in here after a movie at Alamo for a take out order (because Jew Boys Sliders across the street was closed). This was an unexpected pleasant surprise, as my employer has brought in food for us from Maudie's, and I've never cared for it!! I ordered Josie's enchiladas and the meal was generous, delicious, perfection. Service was fast, friendly and a great value all around. Destined to be another favorite crave. read more

Maudie's Too - 1/2 of my generous meal. Cheese enchiladas, rice and charro beans. Delicious!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

Food is awesome service is A plus and atmosphere plenty to go around and at reasonable prices

I received great, accommodating service here. I arrived before a rush of people. My meal hadn't arrived and I was ordering dessert. So I was at the table a while. I was feeling pressure from myself to speed up due to the number of people waiting, so I apologized to my server. She very kindly and *genuinely* told me that there was no reason to rush, I should enjoy my meal. No pressure for me to move along to free the table. My quesadilla was delicious! The chicken was cooked just right, and the cheese melted completely. There was a great deal of pico on the side provided as well. My sopapillas were fried perfectly and bigger than I anticipated! A very delicious way to end my meal. Finally, a chip and salsa comment--we all know we judge places on the quality of these! The chips were crunchy and non-greasy, and the salsa had a good burn to it. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

My word do I miss this Tex Mex.. it slapped from the drinks to the queso and entrees... I love their escabeche... pickled goodness.. Our server was on point and the drinks were amazing. We had a fantastic meal here today. I would skip the refried beans to be honest and go with charro... read more

Fantastic food, great ambiance, and Ashton and Oriana took extra care with my wife's gluten-free order (she is celiac and we are always cautious). Such a great experience. We will be back soon! read more

I wanted pancakes for breakfast and hubby wanted texmex! Both were A+ as was the service!!

First parking is touch tight. 2nd Food is worth the parking agony. The Straight Plate Beef Enchiladas with over easy fried eggs is Straight Tex Mex at its best. The salsa requires a glass of water or Margarita nearby. The service hustled in a small popular place with attentive listening skills. read more

Fits the bill for casual Tex Mex that his hearty, filling, quick and affordable. When you sit down chips and salsa are on the table before you can even ask - and they are much appreciated! Salsa has a great kick to it - and chips are perfectly cooked and crunchy. As you might expect, the menu has every variation of enchilada, quesadilla, etc. We ordered the beef fajita and the shrimp and fish tacos. All satisfied any craving for Tex Mex cuisine. Portions of meat, shrimp, and everything else do not skimp. read more

Maudies is an Austin is a historical Austin staple that everyone seems to love but unfortunately, I'm not the biggest fan. The service is good and they have a decent happy hour but I just can't get behind their food and it might just be due to the fact that I don't love their version of Tex Mex. I've been multiple times and everyone else seems to love it. I'd recommend trying it out and deciding for yourself! My view comes as a vegetarian so I'm sure their fish + meat dishes are amazing but I can't vouch for them read more

Short wait for a table, but WELL WORTH IT! Casual vibe, but there were people that got dressed up--assuming they were hitting downtown after, cuz this place is totally casual. They had 1 TV above the bar that sat in the corner of the restaurant. Everything was amazing. The salsa they brought out when we sat down was so good but definitely on the spicy side (i didnt mind, but proceed with caution!). The queso was literally the best i've ever tried. I had soft chicken tacos for my entree and omg.. again.. the best i've ever had. They were much larger than i was used to from the northeast, so i had plenty left over to take to go. Everything was top notch and reasonably priced. GO HERE. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. read more

Tried it twice because I basically live across the street. BLAND is the only word to describe the food. Do you guys even use seasoning??????? No flavor whatsoever. If you're looking for good texmex CHUY'S is by far the best. Maudie's on the other hand clearly takes no pride in their food. Sad. read more

I used to love coming here with my friends for drinks and food. It's been a minute. After seeing some films, I stopped here for a late lunch before heading home. There were only a few tables, albeit one of 6-8, but service was quite slow to get my menu and drink order. I got a Fajitas and Greens Salad which wasn't the best. The meat was a bit pale (sear the meat!) and I couldn't taste the dressing. The mixed greens was mostly romaine lettuce and I was expecting a spring mix but that's okay. Maudie's can do better! read more

6 hungry, handsome, charming young men were on the prowl for some authentic Mexican cuisine after a week long camping trip. In the small but cozy town of Austin, Texas these daring Texas travelers stumbled upon Maudie's, unknowingly about to have the slappiest, mouth-watering Mexican food in all of Central Texas. Immediately greeted with a smile by Swole Collin, the staff and service had these five young men feelin sum typa-way. After devouring authentic Mexican food ranging from bussin brunch food to bitchin tacos, these young men left feeling orgasmic and satisfied. Giving a generous tip to reflect the excellent service, they left as mysteriously as they came. Their only critique was that the staff was too hardworking and the food was a little too good. Swole Collin said everything was good, and damn good it was. read more

I don't know why I expected this place to be authentic or of quality. The salsa provided with the complimentary chips is always a dead giveaway for what you're about to receive, and this salsa was basically tomato sauce out of a can. No miscellaneous chunks of tomato, onion, cilantro, or peppers, just tomato sauce The prices seemed honest, but once I received my meal I realized why they were suspiciously lower than expected. I ordered the "Mexican Special", which comes with a "crunchy beef taco" and "guacamole salad". The beef taco was just plain ground beef in a plain taco, nothing else, and the guacamole salad was basically a dollop of guac out of an ice cream scoop with some shredded lettuce and chunks of tomato on top. The rest of the meal was two enchiladas with plain refried beans and plain rice, which wasn't bad, but it's kinda hard to mess something up when it's completely drenched in cheese. The service was fine, we were constantly checked on, I don't have any complaints there. They were nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance on the other hand was subpar. The main room is way too small for the amount of tables they have shoved in there, and it felt like a constant battle to yell louder than the table next to you just to hear your own party. Overall I'm hesitant to say it was overpriced, but it was definitely not of the quality I was hoping for. I would have liked more care to be put into spices and seasonings to give the food more flavor. I don't have experience with the financial logistics of running a restaurant, but I've definitely had tastier and more satisfying dishes for the same price I paid for this meal, so I know there's room for improvement in some capacity. read more

First visit this weekend. Husband has been numerous times. Chips were fresh, crisp. Cheese enchiladas were good. Very hot/fresh.

This restaurant is a good place to go when you're super hungry and can't decide on what to eat when you're in the Barton Springs area. The enchiladas were basic, nothing special. Full of Rotel cheese and not authentic. I get that this is a Tex-Mex place but there was more cheese than tortilla and enchilada sauce. I really did enjoy the salsa. I am giving this place a three star waiting due to the service. Our waiter was a nice guy, very patient. Would not return here again due to the lack of taste in the food. read more

GREAT Tex mex! I came in on a Saturday night with friends while we visited Austin. We waited about 20 mins to be seated on the patio, not bad at all. I ordered the Cena Plate, which is carne guisada. I haven't had this particular dish in a long time and it brought back so many memories. It was so delicious with the flour tortillas on the side. I would visit again just for that dish! Everyone I was with loved their food as well. This is a great place to meet friends and drink margaritas on the patio. read more

I still think Maudie's make good migas tacos. Not the best in the city, but if there's not a better place nearby, then it's quite quick and convenient to stop by and get some here. Their food is in general good, not great - but sometimes that's all you need (and a margarita). Sam gives great service at this location and is accommodating toward deaf customers! :) read more
