The 16 Best Mexican Restaurants In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"ATX Cocina is a sleek Downtown spot that’s equally well-equipped for weekend brunches, after-work Happy Hours, and cute date nights where you can dress up a little and bond over plates of sopes and enfrijoladas. This definitely falls into the “fancy” category of restaurants, but the big windows and comfy booths prevent it from feeling stuffy. Start with one of the light, refreshing crudos, order heavily off the menu’s “masa” section, then anchor the meal around the pecan-crusted wagyu flank carne asada just to see how many tasty adjectives you can fit in front of a steak. Or show up during Happy Hour seven nights a week for $9 house margs and a taco of the day." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
