    Good Food. Great Service. Our server Andrea was phenomenal. Would be 5 stars if they had habanero sauce and salsa piante!
    VERDAD True Modern MexicanResponded today
    Thank you for your kind words. I will let Andrea know about this amazing review and how happy you were with her service. I will also bring up the salsas with our chef team and see what recommendations they suggest that are similar to your suggestions.

    We had the BEST time! Our server, Zee, was great. She gave us awesome recommendations for food and drinks—very knowledgeable about the menu. The quality of food for the price is a steal. We had the mocktails and want to come back their cocktails! Definitely recommend giving them a try!

    Staff was super nice, seated me before my party arrived. Server was pleasant. Food and cocktails were good, little overpriced. But it is a fancy restaurant. Ordered desert and it was just OK-the leches cake was a little dry. But the chocolate desert was quite nice. Overall, a good experience.

    This place is really overpriced for what it is. There are so many fantastic Mexican (even “modern Mexican”) restaurants in Austin that offer better flavor and better value for your money. I feel like you’re paying for the ambience and trendy vibes. Our server interrupted us so many times at dinner to check-in, then the Manager then the General Manager both came over to ask if everything was going well. We appreciated the service but it was overkill and our convs were interrupted too many times. We ordered the lobster quesadillas, the octopus, the pinto bean hummus, the beef relleno and seafood enchiladas and not one dish gave us the wow factor or was really delicious. We were bummed for the money spent and wont go back.

    The overall experience was average, considering the price and the lovely ambiance we expected, especially given the positive reviews. The food, however, fell short of expectations, lacking color and creativity for a “modern” Mexican restaurant. Despite the crowded interior, it was evident that the staff was trying to impress us. The service, where the restaurant truly disappointed, was a major letdown. After mentioning that it was our first time at the restaurant, the server failed to make any recommendations, asked if we had any allergies, or even showed any personality. They were polite but indifferent, responding with a simple “yes” to our questions. The server neglected to check on our table, drinks ran empty, and the chips should have been replaced. To make matters worse, the second round of drinks was not even looked for. We had to call our server to our table to refill our water and beer. The food arrived later than expected, even though the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy. It reminded me of Chili’s but with a better setting.

    Went for a date night. Had a great time. Great food and great service. I’m sober so plus that the mock-tails were not over priced. Would happily go again.

    We came the day after Valentine's so maybe the staff was worn out... but our service was pretty slow and not the best.
