    Last minute birthday celebration. Every bite was better than the one before. Life is short, eat dessert FIRST! Amazing Mexican chocolate souffle cake. A little pricey, but huge portions... we brought home enough fajita leftovers for a second meal.

    The ambiance and atmosphere at Verdad is fun and energetic. The food was delicious. We shared the ceviche (mango and fabulous!) Guacamole (chunky and delicious) and the beef and chicken fajitas. Everything was perfectly cooked, interesting in flavors and beautifully presented. Our waiter, Terrance, was attentive, friendly, informative and responsive. We had a small problem with one of the courses and he took care of it immediately and with grace. I would highly recommend Verdad and ask for Terrance. You'll be happy you did.

    Interesting high quality Mexican food in sensible serving sizes (not just a huge pile on a plate), great crafted drinks, attentive staff, nice decor which has sound proofing rugs, all around a very nice place - we stayed at the bar and it was a good call.

    Birthday dinner was fantastic! Highly recommend the lobster quesadillas and the surf and turf fajitas. Delicious. Save room for the seis leches cake. It is so moist! Everything we’ve had here has been nothing but amazing! Our go-to celebration spot!

    The service is phenomenal here. The food was an interesting fusion. I loved the ambiance of this place. We reserved last minute so only outdoor was available, but it was pleasant--covered with wind guards that keep it toasty for a December evening. Trevor, the manager, checked on us several times to make sure we were well taken care of. It was a nice touch.

    We love sitting at the bar. We prefer drinks that are not very sweet and Ricardo always makes them just as we like them. The ambience and service are always great. The food is hit or miss for us. Many of the items have too much cumin and corn for our taste. The meat items are usually pretty good.

    I brought two first-timers and we all had a terrific experience. The mole and salsa flights were a smart move; the grilled oysters were a big hit, too. The duck and seafood enchiladas were to everyone’s liking, as well. The service was attentive but not in that overbearing way. It can get a little loud, but it didn’t detract from the experience. Also, they have a thorough check on allergens which is fantastic when one of the diners has a food allergy. That level of attention is super nice.

    This was probably the best dining experience my gf and I have had in Austin so far, from start to finish. We didn’t know what to expect, but they had a great selection of drinks, appetizers, and entrees, desserts. The ambiance was nice. It’s a little pricey but really pretty typical of upscale Mexican restaurants around here. We had margaritas, salsa tasting, Mexican chicken noodle soup, chicken fajitas, and the wagyu fajitas. Churros for dessert. Everything was 10/10, and the service was top tier. Our server was great, but what’s even better is that all the other staff were very friendly and super quick to help out with any requests. We’d highly recommend.
