Great food and service for a nice down home local joint. While the fajitas are difficult to get medium rare, the meat is flavorful and enjoyable. The salsa has a little kick for flavor and the queso is perfection. Great place to have a family meal. read more

Hidden Gem on Mexican food in ATX! Can you believe you get delicious Mexican food for under $15? I'm saying you get an appetizer AND an entree for $15. what we got: Guadalajara-The taco salad appetizer comes out first and then they serve the enchilada and rice. Comes with a bitable queso cup! Got the Uno, which is actually a starter but with all the complimentary chips I ate with the delicious (but spicy!) salsa, this was perfect as an entree. Quail poppers Cheesecake and mango ice cream :) read more

Absolutely delicious! Beautiful presentation, fast and friendly service. The rice was so flavorful and light. Salsa probably the best I have had in Texas. read more

I LOVE coming to Tres or just grabbing it to-go when I'm not feeling like sitting in. It's your very typical, local hole-in-the-wall Tex-Mex spot, and it hits every single time. The atmosphere inside is super cozy, cute, and feels actually authentic--it reminds me of the classic local Mexican restaurants I've always loved. The Highlights: My Go-To's: I'm a fan of the quesadillas, fajitas, queso, and rice. Their shredded chicken taco is also a sleeper hit--definitely recommend. The Fiance's Favorites: He is obsessed with the quail poppers. He also loves the shrimp ranchero, but it's not always on the menu, which is honestly a tragedy because he wishes it was a permanent staple! If you're looking for a consistent, no-frills spot in Austin with great food and a vibe that isn't trying too hard, this is it. It's exactly what you want from a neighborhood Tex-Mex joint. service also is amazing! they forgot to include our tortillas in our togo order and they called me right away and we were able to grab them quickly! :) read more

I think this place should deserve way more stars and recognition than it is! Came here on a Tuesday night and there weren't a lot of people so we were sat down quickly. The service is really good, the server refill out chips, salsa, and water consistently. We got the tres amigos and a weekly special dish - both have large portion and are delicious! I really enjoyed their beef tacos with bell pepper, full of flavour. We finished up with a pumpkin flan - I normally do not like pumpkin but this is def an exception! The flan is really fluffy and soft, not too sweet as well! Love the presentation. The restaurant has good ambiance with a lot of Latino decorations. The price is very reasonable and I think it's worth it. Will def come back in the future. read more

Our waitress Alex was so sweet and very attentive! Great food!!! I had a tamale and chicken enchilada with a side of cilantro like rice. It was 10/10! The guys had the Carne Guisada and it's the best I've ever tasted. So good! Highly recommend! read more

REAL GOOD FOOD!!! We're in town from Houston, TX and stopped by and it was amazing!!!!

Food is bland they serve small portions and skimp on almost all items . There are several great options in Austin definitely skip this one!

Loved every bit of it. The service was great, they were fast. The ambiance is good, some of the corners probably need a little more lighting. The food was amazing. The complimentary chips and salsa were delicious. The salsa is in the spicier side and reminded me of the habanero salsa we had in Mexico. The chicken ranchero is one of the best I have tried in Austin. The meat was juicy and very well flavored.definitely going to recommend this place. read more

great atmosphere. Enjoyed the chips and salsa. Large servings too. My friend got enchiladas and he loved them.

I really appreciate the service we receive here. I come regularly with a large group, and the restaurant accommodates us easily. Our chips and salsa stay filled, our food comes readily, and we are never pressured to leave. The grilled and fajita chicken are seasoned well. Vegetables are fresh. Love the different sauce options. They have good in-house cocktails, but bring a designated driver because you may find yourself overibiding. read more

Just arrived, 1st round, so far so good. Good service so far! a little pricey, but the drinks were effective. The food is good that cheese enchilada with the chili sauce were delicious. The beans had great flavor. The rice had good flavor. Their chips are pretty good. We ate like three bags of those. The quail poppers were extremely hot, but it's because I left the seeds in the jalapeño. I'm a lightweight I guess. Would go back to try something different. read more

This spot is nice, but it can be seriously hit or miss. I've had excellent service while the place was packed, the food comes out hot and delicious. I've also had real slow service with mediocre food that comes out lukewarm. It really depends, but I have no idea on what. Consistently though? Friendly staff, clean space, great atmosphere, nice drinks, and a solid quesadilla. So on those alone we keep coming back when we're in the rare mood for TexMex. It's incredibly casual, but I've never felt out of place the few times I happened to be dressed up while going here. It's nearby and can typically handle groups so it's good for a hang out spot. I've heard great things about the tortilla soup but as a vegetarian I can't say for myself. Service staff are all friendly and helpful and willing to double check on things dietary restrictions if you need them to. Husband and I will drop in again from time to time, but it's not really a place we would go out of our way for. read more

My son and I dropped in shortly after they opened for lunch today. Tables were dirty and most of their soft drinks were out of order. We ordered the fried avocado taco and the order taker wasn't sure if they had any avocado. We definitely won't be going again. Very disappointing. read more

I had very fond memories of this place from years ago talked 3 of my coworkers into going there for lunch. when we arrived there was hardly anyone there on a Friday at 12. It took the 5 minutes to seat us the we got teas and ordered the waiter told us 3 different times our food was almost out. after an hour of waiting we paid for drinks and left. I will never go back here again. read more

We tried out Tres Amigos for the first time today and were blown away by Adam's service. His friendly personality and helpfulness made our visit as memorable as it was enjoyable. The quail wrapped in jalapeño and bacon was truly phenomenal...really liked the chipotle sauce on the chicken enchiladas. Excited to try out their happy hour! :) read more

Tried out this place tonight , Food was good but they were short on ingredients and mostly tortilla, , I ordered fajita meat in my fried burrito at $3.00 extra... that's $17.99 and might of got a tablespoon of beef had one beer and a$6.99 app... total bill $40 for one person ... not a great deal ... plus they automatically charged me 20% tip.., won't happen again read more

I've loved this place for decades. One of best down-to-earth spots with a loyal following. Delicious Mexican food, salsa, homemade tortillas, rice, beans, everything. The best enchiladas, tacos and more advanced dishes that are culinary delights with great ingredients at a good price. Service is friendly and the atmosphere is perfect, unique with Mexican tiles and features, warm, not pretentious, and inviting. read more

This is my favorite lunch place. Just right down the street from my office and the food is fantastic. Been eating here for years (decades) and can't miss with eating here. Staff is awesome and the food is fantastic. read more

i love tres amigos. nachos, and 3 cheese enchiladas, double rice, no beans. plent of hot salsa a great go to for vegetarians.

You know I think I've found me a new spot..Tres Amigos was super yummy today & totally hit the spot! The Tortilla Soup was soooooo good! It had plenty of flavor & chicken! I also had a Mexican Martini which made me feel a little bit prettier & the tres leches was really good! I also had their homemade mango ice cream & sopaipilla..both were delicious & fresh!

Came here with a large group this past weekend and we were treated so well! We were sat in their big back room and the service was fantastic! The chips and salsa were fast and flowing and all of us were imbibing on their $3.95 mini-marg special. Though in the shorty glass, whether frozen or on the rocks, you are getting a tequila bang for your buck with these! They were surprisingly well made and light on the sour mix, which is usually why I avoid discounted margs, but these were great! I got the "Build Your Own Combo" platter since a good friend said that was her go to and I was not disappointed! I got a chicken flauta w/salsa verde and a beef enchilada w/jalapeño crema w/rice and a guac salad & queso cup. For $10 and change, this was a decent amt of food and it was delicious! As someone who tends to avoid Tex Mex, this food was made well. I loved the decor and ambiance and can see myself coming back when I'm in the mood for a good, cheap marg and a filling meal! read more

Good food, friendly folks, and pleasant conversation - an all around great time. The $3.95 house margaritas didn't not help the cause. Brunch menu nachos enticed; consequently, my appetite was satiated. Thanks for setting this up, Rory & Nickie. read more

Well I work near here, and have come about a year ago. So i thought id give it another shot. I ordered the house frozen margarita my friend order on the rocks and we also ordered an appetizer. We picked a booth near the bar area, and as you sit be careful it's a very hard seat and not very much room between table and booth. So let's get to the drinks review. Which btw was the main reason going to unwind a bit on a budget. As I remembered great little glass for $5 bucks can't beat it. We both have 2 drinks each and split the appetizer plate of taquitos. Drinks not bad, taste was tart but did the job. Wouldn't say I'd go back just for the great tasting margaritas. The food was good. No real complaints about the food. Prices: that's what made my jaw drop. $40 for 4 small shot glass size Rita's. Drinks were $6.99 each. Oh hell no! I've have many margaritas and that my friends was true Price Gauging! I won't be back read more

We stumbled upon this place by chance while trying to escape the nearby traffic, and I was pleasantly surprised by the great atmosphere, service, drinks, and food. I had the fish tacos, which were delicious (though I did wonder where the lime was), and my friend thought the green chicken enchiladas were just 'okay.' However, the salsa was amazing! The pomegranate margaritas were perfect, too. The prices were fair, and the portions were generous. I'll definitely be back!" read more

Food is very good, server is excellent but I'm so sorry your manager had to yell at me and take away my coffee at lunch today. Previously my friends and I enjoyed our meals for the food and careful service. He had given me a very stern warning (and a bit of a scare) so I promised them I would not come back and bother your manager, again. Very sincerely... read more

In austin it is hard to find reasonable priced Mexican food like you were able to years ago. This place is always consistent, pricing is good. Great for groups. We eat there with friends all the time. I gave 4 stars because sometimes the food can be a little inconsistent but I take that as new staff. We can always get seating w normally with no wait because the place is so big read more

This place is good, but not great. We ended up trying this as we live relatively close, and have been here twice because we wanted to give it another shot. Food/Drink: The first time we came here, we got the carne asada plate, and it was ok. Definitely over cooked and chewy. However, the sides were pretty good as well as the drinks. The second time we came we tried the enchiladas and sat in the bar area rather than the main dining room. It was a little better experience and the enchiladas were much better than the carne asada, but still pretty heavily drenched in cheese. Ambiance: Definitely nothing fancy by any means, but a nice traditional feel. If you are looking for some traditional Mexican food in Austin and for a reasonable price, this isn't a bad option, but there are better options for traditional Mexican food in Austin. read more

Came here today for a coworkers going away lunch. The place was pretty empty at 11:45a but I chalked it up to everyone else having the day off and being at home in bed instead of having to work like me. It was cold in the restaurant. Chips were okay, salsa was good. I ordered the tamales. I'm not a bean person so I asked the waiter if they had Mexican corn but he seemed confused by my question. I know that's a thing right? I ended up just getting double rice. Carbs for the new year! The tamales were okay. They were a little dry but the sauce on top was good. I'd probably try something else next time. I'd give this place another shot but probably won't go out of my way to eat here. read more

Food was great, service was excellent. And they had the best flan I've ever had! Kids loved it too.

Holy shit this place is good!!! I have been wanting to try this place out for a long time and this evening I bit the bullet and went. They served me the best chile rellenos I have ever eaten and I have eaten more of those than I care to admit to. The rice and beans were DEEEELISH and the chips and salsa were fresh and not too hot. I recommend Tres Amigos whole heartedly! read more

I've been here a couple times now and the food is always great. Two of the times I was there for large parties and they were well equipped to serve us. Good drinks. Lots of space. I like that you can customize your enchiladas with filing and sauce choice, and they give you three huge enchiladas. I tasted my friend's fried, stuffed avocado and it was AMAZING. Literally the best one I've ever had. Their queso is on point too. I could easily eat a whole bowl and only mildly regret doing so. They have a large bar area with TVs so you can catch your sports games here. read more

I've defended this place for years. But the reality is that their prices are ridiculous for what you get. The value is just not there.
