   Austin has so very many great restaurants. The great ones specialize focus, on their service or the food or creating an experience. The food here was not bad or great. The service was also simply not bad or great. Nothing bad to speak of here.

   Decent - a few dishes overly salty (ceviche and lobster roll) Chicken dish was dry and over cooked Noisy in a good way but do not recommend for an quiet dinner or romantic setting. Staff were good

   The food and ambience were excellent, but it would have been helpful if the waiter had informed us in advance that gratuity is automatically included for groups of six or more.

   Might be the most amazing Hamachi appetizer I’ve ever had, you could drink the sauce! My green red snap snapper dish looked like a beautiful fairy garden, the presentation was perfection.  Our waiter was at the top of his game ! Never underestimate the hostess she has the power to set the evening off with a good vibe and that’s exactly what she did! Bravo

   The salmon with plantain purée and chocomaiz were amazing, along with the stuffed peppers and ceviche! Cocktails some of the best we’ve had, getting the carajillo with dessert or a as nightcap is a must.

    Saludos! Our food was delicious, ambiance was wonderful and the suggestions Giovanni gave us on drinks, pairings etc. were the cherry on top! I recommend the Brussel sprouts- so crispy and crunchy! I had the filet mignon in black mole as I’m an omnivore. My spouse is a vegetarian. The only downside to our meal which is not unique to Mexta, is serving cauliflower as the vegetarian entree. The industry has been holding on tightly to this choice and has become the default veg-choice. I didn’t have room for dessert but their 3-cheese cheesecake caught my eye. I hope I can stop by at my next visit to Austin. :)
