"Cedar Door is most famously known as the birthplace of the Mexican Martini, a drink so deeply embedded in Austin’s DNA that you kind of have to visit this Downtown spot at least once to say you made the pilgrimage. But the food and drinks? They're just OK. The food leans Tex-Mex and pub grub, with things like queso, burgers, and tacos that do the job but won’t inspire a return visit. If you’ve never tried the original Mexican Martini, though, it's time for a trip." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
