For a TexMex in Austin, this is what we found.
This location is on the South side at the Westgate mall location.
We got the Blanco y Rojo Queso - I definitely wouldn't mind if we have more umph in the queso.
I got the Cantaloupe Aqua Fresca - sadly, not a lot of flavor in there.
This is the Tinga Chicken enchilada with Mole Verde sauce. I was totally in love with the sauce though. It made alot of the stuff taste 10X better.
We splatted the Espresso Tres Leches cake - it has slices of mango in the middle, but the cake is too dry for a tres leches. Also I think because they named themselves Espresso, I was expecting some coffee flavors but didn't find any.
The Chocolate Creme Brûlée, however was a hit. It has little chocolate on top and its flavor came thru super clean and nice. It was one of the better ones there.
The meal overall is super mix. There are stuff that they have flavors for a TexMex is not there, but then they excel at some other dishes which was a surprise. So this is a split for me. As far as TexMex go, this is more water-down than most that I've had, but the place is popular. So book a table ahead of time is worth your while. Next time, we'll make sure we get the Barton Spring location, they have a bar on rooftop that looks over downtown.
