    We attended a birthday dinner at Vasquez #3 and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! It was fight night when we went they had a large screen showing the fight & also a DJ and a dance floor with colorful lights and upbeat music to keep the night going! The food was great! I had mushroom street tacos w potato's and my significant other had the nopales quesadilla! They were both delicious! The salsa was thin but don't let it fool you, it packed the perfect amount of heat with tons of flavor! The newly added FULL BAR was great we tried margaritas, Palomas and Mexican martinis, we loved them all! The waitstaff was up beat and very attentive to our big top! Everyone's checks were correct and all items delivered timely! Thanks to the Vasquez team for a memorable night, can't wait to come back

    The BEST Mexican martinis

    Delicious authentic Mexican food served up hot and fresh by friendly wait staff. Situated in a small strip center, this place is a hidden gem. Their charro beans are so flavorful and good! The street tacos, chicken gorditas and flautas are my go tos. Don't forget to ask for the salsa verde. You won't be disappointed. They recently added a full bar and it's one of my favorite places to catch up with the girls on a Friday night.

    Great spot for a quick bite, particularly if you're keen on some breakfast. Breakfast plates are loaded with perfectly cooked potatoes, refried beans, eggs your way and with bacon, ham or sausage, and tortillas. Breakfast tacos, particularly the taco madre, are chock full of ingredients. Usually greeted as you come in. Seat yourself. Service is friendly and efficient. Parking out front in the strip mall. Takes cards and cash. Note: Now open for dinner Thursday through to Saturday nights.

    Steak a la Mexicana and a papa a la Mexicana taco.

    The service was great. Food was good. Queso and salsa were very good. Few things could be better but overall I'd eat here again.

    First time here. Our waitress was nice and came back to check in and refill our drinks. We asked for chips and salsa very good. The food was delicious. We had barbacoa plate which had lots of flavor and very generous portions of beans and potatoes, our daughter had 2 barbacoa tacos and my husband had a barbacoa taco and a bean cheese taco also very generous portions. The only thing was they don't have authentic flour tortillas which is huge which was disappointing because their food was absolutely delicious.

    We love this place. We have lived nearby for a few years, and have dined in a number of times, but usually we pick up breakfast tacos to go. Those breakfast tacos are PACKED -- delicious and full of fillings. Always more salsas provided than we need, which we use for other meals at home lol. HOWEVER, it is worth coming here in person -- the food is delicious and fresh and the service is top notch. You get to keep the red and green salsa dispensers on your table, so you never run out. All the servers take care of all the tables, and it really makes you feel like they care. The servers wear shirts that mention their great customer service, so the business knows, and cares, and it shows. The restaurant is clean and well cared for, there are really cool/convenient condiment stands on the tables that hold a paper towel roll (so smart!!), and the place is decorated bright and colorful with some really cool paintings, including a copycat Austin mural on one wall with their name. This is a regular go-to spot that has never disappointed and was one of the first places to reliably provide takeout during the pandemic. This review is long overdue.

    Gordibuena and beef fajitas!!  Great breakfast!!
    Ricardo B.

    We have been coming to Vazquez#3 since 2007 and they gave never failed to deliver an awesome meal. The Gordibuena is simply amazing and their beef fajitas are always on point! If you haven't tried this hidden gem, you have honestly been missing out!

    Love the barbacoa from this place! Always fresh, tasty! Never dry! I order half a pound. $10 Wait is usually 5-10mins. Very nice inside setting too!

    Breakfast of Champions l!!

    This place is my go too for breakfast and lunch!! The wait staff is amazing and always welcoming. The food is awesome and very tasteful.

    Gordibuena
    Sara O.

    Favorite family breakfast place in town. The gordibuena is my jam lately. The migas are great. There's some "American" breakfast items such as pancakes. The breakfast tacos are the best around here, and the waitresses are lovely.

    BLOWN AWAY!!! Hidden gem in North/Central Austin. Always wanted to try this place. The stellar…read morereviews are 100% SPOT ON. We first tried the avocado salsa and creamy delicious salsa X. Both incredible and not too hot. I had the sirloin tampiqueño. I have never tasted steak so flavorful in my lifetime. Addictive and so tender and beautifully seasoned I couldn't even speak except for the mmmmm's... don't let the thin slice fool you. It was incredible!!! We also got the Friday night special Saudero taco on the HOMEMADE buttery delicious flour tortilla. Again the steak pieces in there were fantastic. The regular picadillo crispy taco was probably the best I've ever had. Homemade deep fried thick shells. Margaritas were expensive and small, but done RIGHT. Sam made them by hand not from a mix. It's a good balance because the food is FAIRLY PRICED!!! I am completely spoiled now and probably will just come here from now on. Next it's time to taste those great looking enchiladas!!!

We've had to wait about 45 mins for a table of 2 for lunch on a weekday, and the food is worth it. Be smart, plan ahead by several days and make a reservation on their website. Or be spontaneous and grab a drink from the bar and sit outside on the patio for a bit. I had one pretty big issue with waitstaff on my first visit, but that was quickly addressed by management and resolved in way that they've gained a customer for life. Can't speak highly enough of management.

Arriba Abajo as you walked in just gave me all the vibes of a happening place when you want to hang out with friends and have a great time. We ordered the braised ribs rolled tacos for appetizers. It was so fresh and kicking' with all kinds of flavors. I wish I had ordered another one. The avocado sauce layered on the bottom was just enough to keep wanting more. For lunch I ordered the Carneasada Fajitas with chimichurri and my husband ordered the Carneasada Taqueria. With my fajitas came a side of frijoles, green rice & flour tortillas. Corn flour was the other option. Both meals came in pipin' hot & the smell coming from both was very aromatic, zesty & spice. Amazing taste, flavors, just the right amount of marinade on the Carneasada with a hint of lime. It was so delicious while enjoying the ambiance. Our server was a delight and took very good care of us. We didn't order any of their alcoholic beverages since we were both working, but definitely we will be back to enjoy more food and try out their beverages.

We made a reservation for inside, and upon arrival, the staff mentioned that'd we'd have to wait quite some time for our table. Instead, they suggested an outside table wouldn't be too bad. We were happy to accommodate, but then the service was noticeably slow (both for drinks and for food). Price points were high (but, I suppose not unexpected for a hotel restaurant). The spot we were in just felt like limbo between guests enjoying the pool and people inside enjoying A/C and good music. May give it another shot down the road.

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
