"Co-founders chef Miguel Ravago, who passed away in 2017, and his business partner Tom Gilliland introduced interior Mexican cuisine from Oaxaca, Puebla, Veracruz, and Yucatan to Austinites in the 1970s at this Allandale restaurant. The place draws diners in right away with its adobe facade; the folk art on the walls brings to life the culture of Mexico and the Indigenous people who inhabit it. The menu is full of great dishes like cochinita pibil and ancho rellenos, while the queso fundido earns rave reviews. The restaurant makes it part of the mission to continue evolving with Mexican cuisine, and offers several vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free dishes." - Melanie Haupt
