    We ordered frozen regular margaritas. The machine was not working, so we ordered them on the rocks. This is what we got ‍

    Meh. Yep, sorry, that's my rating. Look, Austin is a tough place to compete in the Tex Mex category. There are many fine establishments with muy delicioso food. Mi Lindo is just okay. You might say,"well, it's not a fine dining place", but we all know there are plenty of "hole in the wall" places where some crazy good mommas are cooking up their secret family recipes and sharing them with us. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't outstanding. Our server was pleasant, but she could not remember our order; I guess because she did not write it down... The place felt clean and the prices were good. I'm sorry I won't be back. It's just the bar is high, and Mi Lindo is not up to par.

    This place was good, but I found way too many bones in my birria tacos. When we came at around 7:40pm on a Sunday, there were no customers until we were heading out at around 8:30pm. Our server was super friendly and patient with us! The agua frescas they had available were horchata and watermelon. I went with watermelon, and it was refreshing and sweet- tasted like watermelon candy! At first it was a bit too sweet, but it diluted a bit once the ice started melting. My dad got the enchiladas verdes with barbacoa. Get barbacoa as your meat!!! It was extremely soft and tender that it could literally melt in your mouth... anddd it had amazing flavor. The enchiladas were covered in a tangy, mild sauce. So tasty! This place has some of the best enchiladas I've ever had. I got the quesabirria tacos which were listed under the weekend special menu. They topped it with queso fresco, and in addition to the consommé they served it with some kind of queso fresco sauce. The tacos were good, but it was pretty darn salty. The consommé was light. As for the meat, they did not shy out on the filling! The main issue I had was finding multiple small bones in the meat. That was not the crunch I was looking for... RIP. When I ate one taco for dinner, I found a small bone. Then the next taco I ate back at the hotel, I found 2 small bones. Even more bones were found in the third taco just as expected. I've eaten my fair share of birria tacos before and I've never run into any problems like this. If you're going to be ordering the birria tacos, just be aware. Overall, I was satisfied with the food (minus the tacos) and service. The vibes were lit. They were playing some fire music. Parking available on both sides of the building.

    This was such a cute little place for a great lunch! It is small and cozy on the inside, and filled up quickly. There is outside seating area available as well! The hostess and waitress were both very kind and did a wonderful job. I ordered the verde enchiladas. I requested one beef and two chicken so that I could try both meats. I loved everything on my plate, including the rice and beans! Everything was served hot and fresh. The chips and salsa were great as well!

    Verde Cheese Enchiladas
    Stephanie A.

    First time here! Great little restaurant. Between us we had: Cheese Verde Enchiladas: When I ordered these, the waitress seemed a bit confused, cheese is not on the menu - but I figured they could make them and they did. To be honest, there could have been more cheese in the filling. The verde sauce was delicious - tangy and light. I really enjoyed the rice that came with it - fluffy. The beans were your standard refried beans but good none the less. Next time, I will try one of the meat fillings. Oysters: Large and fresh, the husband really enjoyed these. Don't expect to see any horse radish or cocktail sauce. It comes with limes and hot sauce - not sure why I was surprised. Chips and Salsa: The chips are the thin crispy type with the right amount of salt - yummy. There are two salsas served with the chips, one green and one red. The red one tasted like reconstituted dried peppers. The green one was more acidic and fresh - we enjoyed the green one best. The place was very clean and had a nice atmosphere. The waitress warmed up to us a bit before we left - a smile can go a long way. We were impressed with this place and will definitely be back to try other menu items. The breakfast items look really good too.

    Very good to great ... It's up north on Lamar, and a bit out of the way, but totally worth the drive. The food is excellent (especially the seafood soups!) the service friendly , and the ambience long on soccer on the screens. Definitely happy-making!!!

    Two words. Microwave food. That's what this was. This food was inedible. I don't think I've ever had Mexican food this bad. I can see why we were the only customers when we dined in. I'm sure we might've been their only customers today. Some places I've gone and food needs salt or seasoning but there is no saving this food. The fajitas did not come out sizzling, what fajitas don't come sizzling??? I'm sure this food was pre cooked and just heated back up in a microwave or oven. I wanted to just power through until a moment where I just could not bite the meat in two. My teeth still hurt thinking about this food. Definitely not coming here again. Should've turned around as soon as we saw how empty it was. Server was also our hostess and she was super nice, I feel bad her talents are being wasted in the restaurant business where most servers go off of tips, I'm sure she's not making any money at all unless it's out of pity. This place should've been closed long ago. You know that corny cheesy line people use? "If I could give this place 0 starts I would." Well I do. I wish I could do that.

    Birria tacos
    Nicole S.

    I have been here twice and have had a good experience! Service and food is good - tex mex type food. It's no frills dining and I really like the patio in good weather. I like how the food is not super greasy or drowning in cheese. They have 3 hot sauces green, red and habanero, all pretty good. I really liked the birria tacos although one did have bones. They have a convenient parking lot. Service checked in on us several times and was super friendly. Today we came in for bfast like 10 min before they opened, not realizing they open at 10am and they were ready to take our order.

    a comfortable little converted house style spot, with a nice outside seating area as well as a very clean and comfortable indoor dining area. The service was prompt and friendly, and the food was excellent. Also features a full bar. They have a fairly extensive menu, and serving time was appropriate for freshly prepared food. Mole sauce is one of my benchmarks and I enjoyed theirs very much. The nachos were also very nice and not just a pile of chips with stuff dumped on top. We will be returning to dive deeper into the menu.

    Beef fajitas

    Ordered the beef fajita, this was not edible. The meat was though, flavorless, smelt bad as if it was just popped in the microwave. I left all the meat behind wouldn't even give it to my dogs. The server was nice though. Would not go back again.

    Looking for a place to eat dinner after arriving to Austin and stumbled upon this place! A true hidden gem near Pflugerville! Great outdoor patio seating and we got lucky in this Texas summer heat by getting a nice breeze today! Fun cups accompany agua frescas - flavors change seasonally but we ordered the limon con pepino (cucumber lime) and melon!! They were both delicious! Highly recommend! Authentic tortillas and homemade chips made in house accompany a delicious Bowl of queso with a dollup of guacamole!! Also highly recommend the queso and the enchiladas verdes!! I ordered the tostada, but sadly it was no bueno! The chicken inside the enchilada and the tostada were really dry...if they could make it shredded and more juicy it would definitely help! All in all, a great find in ATX!! Friendly, great service by staff as well!!

We did not make reservations, I'd advise you to do it. However it was worth the 40 minute wait. The restaurant is very cozy with low lights. Great for a date or dinner party. We skipped the appetizer since we were running late but we will try one the next time. They bring you large flakey rolls and seasoned butter. Hubby had the catfish ponchatrain with red beans and rice and carrots. I had the beef and shrimp pasta with a brandy cream sauce. The food was so good! Our server Brooke was great. She made sure that we had everything we needed and our experience was good. Hubby ended the meal by getting the blueberry cheesecake and key lime pie to go. However, as we waited, another customer told us that the bread pudding was excellent. Then another customer told us that the chocolate cheesecake would give the bread pudding a run for its money. But as we sat and watched, several tables had the blueberry cheesecake brought to them to go. So I'd say leave room for desert!

We tried to go to happy hour with my partner's parents, but that was only available in the bar area. Given they have some health problems to consider, we could not move over and hover over teeny tables to have dinner so had to handle full price. At full price, I'd give it a solid 3.5. Bumped to a 4 because this is hard to find around here. We got: - shrimp yoli (if you only order one dish, get one with this SAUCE. It's to die for. The shrimp had too much seasoning that it was a little choke worthy and I NEVER complain about flavor. Just lighten up a little!) - escargot (the butter was broken.. so it was kinda rough) -catfish gumbo (solid portion) -redfish add lump crab (while we enjoyed this, it was pricy for what it was) -shrimp and crawfish pasta (good) -orange crème brûlée (light.. not my fav crème brûlée ever but fun to try) - chocolate cake brownie with ice cream

The staff was…read morecommunicative about my group of five's expected wait time, and the waiting area was open with comfortable lounge chairs. I'm certain I would have dozed off in one if we weren't called up. We sat outdoor alongside several other families with kids. The music wasn't super loud and the tables were generously spaced so we weren't close enough for other peoples' conversations to distract from our own. We then ordered the following: Smoked Fish Dip Maine Crab Cakes Brussels Sprouts Fish Sandwich Lobster Grilled Cheese Lobster Pot Pie The smoked fish dip was good but nothing crazy. My sister had suggested the fried calamari instead, but my love of bread overrode my familial devotion. The dip itself was moist with no excess liquid and spread easily onto the provided cuts of sourdough toast. My only critique is that the dip seems like it's missing something, but I'm not food-smart enough to know what. However, because of my bread bias, this is still a 4/5. The crab cakes on the other hand were amazing. There was no excess oil soaking the fried crust and the crab meat inside wasn't over-salted, as I've come to expect from most crab cakes. These were highly enjoyable with bites of avocado and mandarin in between to balance the fried elements. 4.5/5 The Brussels sprouts were well-roasted, with a nice vinaigrette coating their crispy outsides. I expect this level of quality for Brussels sprouts from American restaurants at this point, so no surprises, just good in general. 4/5 Skipping the fish sandwich as unfortunately I didn't get to try them, but it looked and smelled great. I had one bite of the lobster grilled cheese, so take this particular review with a grain of salt. The smokiness of the cheeses sits on top of everything else without overpowering, while the lobster, bacon, and tomatoes provide a great mix of fat and brine. This is a lowbrow surf and turf between bread, and it's perfect. 5/5 Finally, we come to my own order, the lobster pot pie. Unfortunately, I shared this with the aforementioned sister and didn't get the full experience. The dish came piping hot and fresh, and the puff pastry was flaky and not overbaked. Internals-wise, I could see myself eating just the cream sauce like a chowder. It was perfectly flavored with veggies and herbs, with regular chunks of lobster. Not too salty and absolutely decadent, would not share again. 5/5 Overall, this was a highly enjoyable experience with fast, not rushed, service and an amazing spread. This is an easy recommendation for a family-friendly restaurant with lowkey vibes, and I'll forsure visit again when I'm back in town.

The service is top tier! The staff comes by to make sure you're good constantly so you never go long waiting for refills or to get some attention for an issue. The vibe is great, TVs on & the place is always clean. I read a review complaining about the napkins & buckets that's STUPID af. Don't come to a seafood place if tha bothers you. I love that they had the whole roll of brown paper towels so we don't have to keep asking. The buckets are super helpful to clear out the soft shells of the shrimp instead of piling on a plate. The FLAVOR is ALWAYS ON POINT!!! We even tried the other location but the Round Rock location beats it! We always go for date night. It's much lower priced than @Boiling Crab & taste 100x better than their soggy shrimp! Hook & Reel is just a hard pass... it's not flavorful. LA Crawfish is not good & Krab Kings is overpriced for mid food. I make my own seafood boils & ppl would rather buy from me than go to the other locations. Surfin Crab is the only one who beats me! Most times I can't even get a pic because we dive in! Oooh & food is always fast!

    I walked into Surfing Crab hoping for one of those unapologetically messy seafood boils -- the kind…read morewhere you're tying your hair back, rolling up your sleeves, and mentally preparing to smell like garlic butter for the rest of the day. Sadly... this wasn't that experience. I ordered the boil with a pound of crab, head‑on shrimp, squid, corn, and those thin little sausage slices you see at most Cajun spots. The seasoning landed squarely in the middle -- not offensive, not impressive, just sitting there like it was waiting for someone to give it direction. I asked for hot, but what I got tasted more like a medium that didn't want to commit. And the shrimp? Head‑on and not deveined. That gave them a gamy, muddy undertone that took away from the whole boil. At this price point, deveining shouldn't be a luxury add‑on. We also tried the appetizer sampler -- calamari, egg rolls, cheese sticks -- and everything tasted suspiciously similar, like it all took the same little swim in the same fryer without a break. Nothing was terrible, but nothing had personality. These were the kind of appetizers you can find anywhere, and not the kind you remember later. My partner ordered the shrimp po'boy, and while the portion was generous, the breading overwhelmed the shrimp. He ended up peeling most of it off just to get to the actual protein. When the breading becomes the main character, that's a sign the dish needs editing. Now, the mixed drinks? Those were actually good -- balanced, not overly sweet, and honestly the highlight of the meal. And I have to give credit where it's due: our waitress was attentive, friendly, and checked on us consistently without hovering. She did everything right. The food just didn't match her level of service. And look... I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I've had better crab at HEB during crawfish season for a fraction of the price. When your grocery‑store boil is hitting harder than the restaurant version, that's saying something. Overall, Surfing Crab wasn't a disaster, but it wasn't memorable either. For the price and the concept, I expected more depth, more spice, and more care in the prep. This one's a pass for me -- especially when I know I can get fresher, better‑seasoned seafood elsewhere without the premium price tag.
