best cuban and puertorican food in town
This place was great in every way
This place is expensive, run down and dirty!
Ruby's has the best BBQ in town. Period! The brisket is so smooth that it melts on your tongue, the BBQ sauce is just a hint hot (unlike so many others that think they can impress you serving a sauce that burns the living daylights out of you), everyone on staff actually listens instead of trying ...
The drive thru consistently gets the order wrong so even though the food is OK it is not what is ordered - check your bag!
The restaurant is dirty. Needs a good cleaning and updating. The menu is too extensive. They should zero in on some dishes they can do good and stick to them. Try just simple home cooking instead the faux international menu. Service very slow. But I cannot get over how dirty the restaurant app...
Rudy's consistenty serves up some of the best bbq I've had in Texas. The guys that serve the food at the counter are funny and attentive. Oh, and the cream corn is delicious.
We were on vacation and took my daughter. The location was perfect for downtown and the University of Austin Campus. I usually worry when we try a new veggie restaurant. My daughter loved it considering even though she is vegeterian, she's still a kid and picky. We loved it. Wish there was one ...
Superb presentation, fabulous food, wonderful ambience. An Austin favorite for special occasions.
Great food and great atmosphere!
I have been to many different Steak Houses throughout the States, and by far the best food, service, ambience is at Sullivans
The food is definitely worth every penny here. The menu is full of great food and is varied enough that even a picky eater should be able to find something that makes their mouth water. It's a little bit too pricey to be an everyday stop but is still reasonable enough to be a frequent choice when ...

I have never dined at the water tank, but I have had a few too many drinks there. It is your typical dive bar. Very fun if you are up for it. It is located in Williamson County though, so be prepared to make it an early night.
Wings are a lil chewy...But what do I know? I like the stupid wings from KFC. Pluckers has wonderful Chicken sandwiches though. mmmmmmmm
We live within blocks of this charming piece of architecture and elegant dining experience. Not vegetarians, my husband and I tried it after its owner John supported our UT student ministry. We were impressed with the quality of food, never missing the meat, and enjoyed the intelligent wait staff. W...
I really recommand this place to anyone who wants to eat real Mexican food. I love every thing about it. It is like home food away from home food. Everyone is so lovely. I truly recommand the crispy beef tacos. They are 3 huge tacos that are jamed packed with lettuce, tomatos, cheese, beef or chicke...
El Patio is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the state. Every time we drive through on Austin on a road trip, we stop there to eat. It's been a favorite ever since my college days at U.T. The food is excellent, the service is great, and the proprietors the friendliest around.
I go here with adult friends to unwind. I usually have good service and good food (Love the Oysters Dioblo and broiled crawfish tails!). Although I love it with friends, I don't take my kids.
I tried this restaurant for convenience purposes. I will not do that again. The cleanliness issues concerned me to the point that I reconsidered eating my lunch. I visited the ladies room and found that they use the restroom as a storage area for their styrofoam containers and plastic utensils, how ...
Had a complete BLAST last night at The Water Tank! The food is excellent, and the karaoke entertainment was great fun. RJ really knows how to run the show where everybody has a good time.
