   Ma’Coco – A Flavorful Mexican Escape in Downtown Buda Located just across from the train tracks in Downtown Buda, Ma’Coco serves up vibrant Mexican cuisine in a lively, energetic setting. The ambiance is fun and upbeat, though be prepared for some background noise—the music can be a bit loud, making it challenging to carry on conversation, especially when the train passes by (though it goes by quickly). We started with the salsa sampler, which included thick, crunchy tortilla chips. The standout here was definitely the tomatillo salsa, which had a perfect balance of tang and heat. The Elote appetizer was another highlight, with two perfectly grilled pieces of corn that packed a punch of flavor. For our main dishes, we tried the California burrito and surf and turf quesadillas. My husband loved the California burrito—so much so that it was impossible for him to finish this massive, flavorful meal. As for my quesadillas, the asada was perfectly seasoned, offering a deliciously rich flavor in every bite. Service at Ma’Coco was excellent. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, striking the perfect balance in ensuring we had everything we needed, but also giving us space to enjoy our meal. Though the music and occasional train noise were a little distracting, the food and service more than made up for it. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious offerings!

   No need to go to downtown Austin anymore. This location is amazing. Cute location. Easy parking. Amazing and attentive staff. Very welcoming. Charming. Food for happy hour - delicious and well portioned. Great drinks! Give the hostess, bartender, and severs - heck to whole place a raise. Bartender gave us a free churro donut that was such a lovely ending to a friends gathering. Make sure you make a reservation during peak times.

   The menu items are unique, but what I had was delicious.I am anxious to try something new each time I go. We sat on the patio, which was lovely. Server was courteous and attentive.

   Our first time visiting Ma’CoCo. Service was excellent. We shared guacamole and ceviche, both delicious. Homemade chips were a nice surprise. I had a chili relleno taco. It was yummy but I’d hardly call it a taco. It came open faced and was so large, impossible to pick up like a normal taco. My husband had the shrimp/skirt steak quesadillas. Again really delicious but it came looking like an enormous taco. He loved it! I had a cucumber chia margarita which I will say was one of the most delicious and refreshing drinks I’ve ever had in a Mexican restaurant. I’d highly recommend this cute, quaint little spot.

   The waiter didn’t speak good English. She didn’t know the dishes. The food was cold. Everything came at the same time. Didn’t like the food

   What a beautiful spot! We went with the recommended drink of the day which was called The Ofrenda. Very tasty with a blossom added for beauty. Service was excellent tho it was hard to hear due to the music level. The carne asada was delicious and tender. The salsa was delicious! Guacamole needed some pico added but it was good. My friend got the flautas and the chicken was thick and dry. There was no queso to help. I think it just needed a better shred and maybe some dipping options that aren't spicy.

    Friendly waitstaff that was attentive. Food was really good as were the drinks. Definitely recommend the guacamole and ceviche. The outside was perfect for a brunch out with my toddler.
