- HHeddyvipSouthwest Florida •11 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy wife and I came here for Thanksgiving dinner, and it was an amazing experience. The grilled turkey fajitas were absolutely delicious—the turkey had such a rich, flavorful taste. The service was excellent, and everything overall was great. The only downside was the noise level, which was understandably high due to how packed the restaurant was and the festive atmosphere. This was my first stop in Austin, and I couldn’t have made a better choice!More infoLa Piscina Ceviches & FajitasPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Downtown•4.8
- FFrancoisvipAustin •11 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a very good time overall but a couple of things made us go for 4 vs 5 stars. Overall experience was very good: atmosphere was sophisticated, service was perfect: attentive and perfect pacing. We loved the bold taste and texture of our first 2 dishes: tuna tiradito and susdero tacos were brilliant. We will come back just for these. Our last dish - Lautas en mole - was disappointing: taste was average and the texture of the tortilla around the meat was a bit cardboard-y. We unfortunately finished an awesome meal on an OK note. My wife’s cocktail was too heavy on the vermouth which was the dominant taste. Vermouth is usually used to enhance the main flavor in our opinion, not replace it. The wine list by the glass was too limited (3 reds only for a meat restaurant), music was a tad too noisy for us. Overall a great place, we’ll come back and explore more, but the sister restaurant, Este impressed us more.More infoSuertePrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• East Austin•4.9

The Condesa margarita has to be my favorite cocktail in all of Austin, and my favorite weekday happy hour treat!
