Andrew LinnOctober 16, 2012Travis recommend the chicken floutas and I wasn't disappointed. His service was the best I've seen and he went out of his way to make sure everything was to my liking. Ask for Travis, he's a sure bet
Lisa Hughes GonzalesMay 10, 2014Been eating @ Serranos Downtown since they opened 20 + years ago. Original mesquite grilled fajitas, chile con Queso, handmade flour tortillas. The organic 90 calorie margarita is outstanding!
They used to make off the menu breakfast tacos which were the best and only dish that is good. Now they won't do it Without manager intervention. But they still have good,very good flour tortillas.
AdrianeApril 3, 2013Lunch special is a steal! Tortilla soup is delicious just order it temperature hot. Beef fajitas are awesome too although not on lunch special.
Dustin HaleyFebruary 18, 2015Great lunch specials during the week, top notch margs, and over all awesome location/venue.
Katy ThompsonMarch 1, 2012Monday night is all you can eat tacos for .99 with a 1 drink minimum. Thurs is 2 can dine for 19.99 and includes an app and 2 entrees.
Social News NetworkJune 30, 2012Check out the flavored margaritas during happy hour, it's a great place for groups just be sure to call ahead!
$14.60 for 2 before 3pm + free parking for the best mexican I've had in Austin. I feel like I owe them $$ because the food was so great
Cesar TorresJune 13, 2011The bean and cheese taco plate is as big as your torso. Good for leftovers and those college kid days.
Hans PaapAugust 9, 2015So many better for Tex-Mex options in Austin. Beautiful property but the food lacked.
Bob BoboOctober 8, 2010Request a table outside with an umbrella or risk being shat upon by the birds...
Jon WileyNovember 26, 2010I ordered a margarita up (hope springs eternal) and got cold margarita mix in a glass. Ugh... but know this isn't a place known for margaritas.
Robert DTJanuary 12, 2012The happy hour here sucks now...their website is extremely outdated and has false information....horrible service on a Wednesday at 6pm...not going back
Nichole JacksonJune 27, 2013Was not good. Service nor food. Food was under seasoned and the waiter rarely came.
Pat WhiteMarch 17, 2012Worst service in all my life. Literally walked away from my table because it took 45 minutes for them to notice we had been seated
- Great flour tortillas and beef fajitas. Terrible mango margaritas. Avoid getting Chase as your waiter. He is awful.
