Best Restaurants in Austin, Spring 2025 | Eater Austin
"The semi-fancy Mexican restaurant in the South Lamar neighborhood delivers the best taste of interior Mexico in Austin, thanks to co-owner Iliana de la Vega, the James Beard Award-winning chef in the first-ever Texas category, and her daughter, chef Ana Torrealba. The mostly gluten-free menu prominently features fare from de la Vega’s hometown in Oaxaca, with rich moles and hearty cochinita pibil. Though located at the ground floor of an apartment complex, the inside has a welcoming atmosphere, with a wraparound bar, plentiful mezcal cocktails, and a small outdoor patio. Must-order dish: The complex, flavorful mole negro with duck breast." - Erin Russell
