15 Most Iconic Drinks in Austin

"Okay, so the actually named Famous Purple Ritas are dangerous and iconic because it’s made with extremely boozy Everclear, so much so that there’s a limit of two frozen cocktails per person. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services at both locations, including the other on Barton Springs." - Elizabeth Leader Smith, Nadia Chaudhury

Sweet surprise to have this gem. Friends and I had food and drinks here and shout out to our server Roger who was very attentive and made sure our table was attended to. Best mango margarita I had! You can choose indoors and outdoors but it was hot and the indoors felt like outdoors without the heat since we were sat next to a window with huge tree! My friends had the purple drink and hit the spot for her ;). The food: we had pastor bowl, fish tacos, and shrimp bowl with avocado and free chips and salsa. Fresh and yummy. Mind you, I'm picky with food! They do have military discount!!! Recommended chill place for family and friends!!!

The Purple Rita's are a must-have if you like sweet drinks! The salads were amazing. We had the nicest server for lunch and the bartender near closing (yes, we went twice in a day) were both wonderful. A must visit restaurant for sure! They do have a numbering system on drinks to ensure you do not drink too much. Great time, lots of different seating options, and sometimes there is a band.

The food was delicious! The manager was very welcoming and told us where to go to be seated. I wish our waiter was more welcoming since it did feel like he was trying to get our orders fast. I will definitely come back!

We are visiting Austin for the weekend and this restaurant is right by our hotel. We went for lunch on a 100+ degree day so we sat inside, but the outdoor seating area looks so fun! We were greeted immediately and sat down and received our waters and chips/salsa. Both delicious! I ordered grilled fish tacos and it was so good and fresh! My husband had the taco salad and loved it! The waitress was very friendly and charming. I hope we are able to visit this place again!

Loud, wonderful Mexican Cafe feel. Mexican martini is on point. The food here is excellent and since traveling across Texas and the US I was surprised at how dismal simple things like Mexican rice and beans are. Happy to get my fix back in the ATX. 🥳

A little hidden Gem 💎 great for drinks, great for patio seating and they have a live music stage outside. I got the Cowboy Enchiladas..they come with carne guisada and topped with cheese and chile con carne 😋 super delicious. And Get the Sopes for appetizers..

This is a great Mexican food restaurant but I was surprised that there were so few customers. This place is a little obscure and off the beaten path but go find it because it’s worth the trip. The drinks were delicious and the food was good. I liked the vibe but disappointed that three of the really cool T-shirt’s that I wanted were not available.

Fabulous customer service in english or spanish. Puffy tacos and queso unlike any others, purple margarita, piña colada, hot tortillas... yum. Jordi took great care of us, answering all our questions about ingredients to keep us safe from food sensitivities. The bartender happily.Let me look at the ingredients before I ordered a mixed drink. They made me feel welcome. Even though I know it can be demanding with so many questions and customizations to an order.

Baby Acapulco is a great spot to just chill and catch up. It's clean and really spacious. It sort of has a cabana feel despite being off a main road across from a movie theater. Good place for a casual date of a movie and dinner now that I think about it. I've been here as part of a couple and once with a party of 6. Service has been absolutely on top of things every single time I go. The drinks are great. I always suggest Baby As when I get the random summertime craving for a Dos-a-Rita with friends. The frozen cocktail selection is amazing. No one has had any complaints. There's plenty of seating outdoors, indoors, and at the bar so bring all your people. The food is just fine. It's solid TexMex that isn't great, but has yet to disappoint.

Our group had a wide variety of margaritas and enjoyed them all. The biggest hit were the two flights: Celebrity and Tropical. With each, four different small margaritas are presented. The mixed fajitas were great, well-grilled with a terrific amount of lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream on the side. However, we only received two tortillas. Seriously? The chicken enchiladas were tender, and the verde sauce, flavorful. The charro beans were standard beans and fine. Finally, let's discuss the chips and salsa. Baby A's has great chips and they were delivered warm. A+! And the salsa had a good after burn. We were there on a slow night, so we had decent service.

I went to Baby Acapulco recently with my mother and some very old friends of the family... we hadn't seen each other in decades. Entering the place is setup to have some breezy areas outside and air conditioned areas inside. We opted for the inside area this time because it was pretty darned hot out. I am not usually a drinker, but this time I got a margarita, as everyone else was having a drink as well. Peer pressure yay! The margarita was nice, but it is definitely not something that I would go for every time. For the main meal, I opted for the burrito, and it was tasty. Frankly it was pretty standard Tex-Mex fare that you can find at any Tex-Mex place across the country, but it wasn't bad. Just... average. This was at a time of the week where things were just not that busy, so we were able to talk and catch up on life over our meal. We enjoyed it. Would I go back? If the stars aligned in the right way, sure... but I feel that there are places in the area that are just as good and I would rather explore them than go to the same place over and over again.

Good place to unwind after a long day of work. Today, the owner ( female) was there, and if she is there, when I go, I will walk back out. She is not polite at all.. I've been here several times it's our local spot to hang. After serifin left, it has not been the same. I support local because I'm born and raised here, but to finally meet this, the owner cleared it all up. The owner ( lady) needs better manners...

The purple margarita and the coconut margarita do me right every time. I have been here a few times however and I would say that they are a little inconsistent. While the drinks are constantly amazing, the food is not. The first time I ordered the chicken tortilla soup, I was amazed. I wanted to come back for it every day. However, the second time I visited...it tasted like toilet water. It was absolutely terrible and it would make you believe they shouldn't be a restaurant.

First time there. Very rustic feel. Service was great! Never an empty glass! Happy hour-get the queso. Next time I'll get a side of flour tortillas. I had the taco place and another guest had the baby chimanga(?). Prices so reasonable. Will be back when not so hot outside for live music!

John is the most amazing and attentive server in Austin. We literally come to Baby A's for John and strong margaritas, if it wasn't for John I'm not sure it would be worth coming every week. So go to Baby A's Stonelake and sit with John and tell him I sent you.

I came here for the first time recently and the food is just not good. I really liked the fun twinkly lights, neon signs, and outdoor patio - this would be a great place to have drinks and chips/salsa and that's it. We ordered the queso appetizer and it was plain processed velveeta cheese. My partner had the chilli relleno and I had the mushroom enchiladas and they were both meh. C- for Tex Mex in Austin.

My girlfriend and I ducked in on a blistering hot day to discuss a summer blockbuster we had just seen across the street, and I have to say that it an amazing little hidden oasis. The frozen margarita with a sangria swirl and Mexican martini were very well made and absolutely hit the spot on a triple digit day. I was a little disappointed that the bar policy wouldn't allow me to have a beer with my frozen 'rita (most places allow it, but some cite their interpretation of TABC policy to prohibit it), but Serafin was professional, polite, and on the spot with our service. The chips & salsa are 100% top shelf. The consistency and flavor of the salsa were perfect: great flavor with just a hint of heat. The chips were the equal of the salsa with the perfect thickness, freshness, and just the right saltiness. We watched soccer and talked cinema in this excellent environment. The place kind of reminds me of the way Austin used to be, with a nostalgic and authentic feel. We will definitely be back.

I have been coming here for 30 years . I ordered a Mexican martini and it was terrible . Super sweet and syrupy. . I took it back the bar tender and he was "tough shit " to me . No remake .no effort . I pushed it across the bar because I am not drinking that . I'm sure it will be on my bill .

So glad to stumble across this Tex-Mex spot! The food was super yummy as well as the drinks. The vibes of this place is very casual and you can tell that this is where locals like to hangout. While it was too hot out when stopping by to enjoy the patio seating, I can't wait to come back when the weather gets cooler to sit with the oak trees and the lighting. When it comes to the food, the salsas were great. The red and green each packed a punch with heat, but not enough to keep you from coming back from more and it's a delayed type of heat which is nice! The queso was tasty as was the Famous Baby A's soup. The pastor tacos were also super yummy! And the Superman margarita was great as well, without being overwhelmingly strong! Our server Francisco was also very attentive and deserves a big kudos!

Baby ain't so bad. A welcoming, large, Cantina style Mexican restaurant in the hotel and shopping district of Domain. The outdoor deck/patio is large and well shaded. The service is efficient and friendly. The music can be a bit tacky (e.g., Boyz to Men) though it adds to the informal vibe. The food is average--not bad but nothing to write home about. I had the grilled Acupulco Fish Tacos (fried is another option). Good blackened flavor, just not exceptionally fresh or high quality ingrediants. The house salsa was smooth while standard and not entirely memorable. If you're looking for an informal atmosphere with plenty of seating, Acupulco may speak baby talk to you.

Well I was with my family and we were on a timed schedule because we had to be home to get my brother off the bus . Our waitresses name was Patricia . Patricia had gave us chips and salsa we asked for cheese we got the cheese the waitress knew we needed more chips so we had to flag somebody else down to get more chips we waited a good 7 minutes for the chips ( my family hates cold and hard cheese and what we're paying 9 bucks for a cold cheese ) . As my mom was looking for our waitress to take our order she saw the people in the kitchen just goofing off . Now we're waiting on our food it's been a good 20 minutes wait . She didn't even come to ask us if we wanted refills on our drink . But yet we had seen everyone else in their getting refills more chips their food all that.

So we decided to give baby A's a try Friday night they had a band playing a relatively good crowd. We were seated quickly. Our waiter was good but completely overwhelmed. I had the Helen's combo, which was pretty good unfortunate that they don't offer guacamole for appetizer drinks were good. I got a swirl with mango, but it was way too sweet the meal didn't very well though when the husband noticed the very dirty glass of water.

Man I love this place!! Almost always have the Baby A's soup. Not only the food and drinks. But, watching this crew tonight work together.... a restaurant with the GM sweeping the floor and busing tables. NO drama. Pleasant and relaxing atmosphere for a night out. Love love love

Great service and clean restaurant. Atmosphere is fun. Drinks were good and strong. However the food was awful. Probably the worst I have had at a Mexican restaurant. The enchiladas were so salty they were had to eat. The huevos were flavorless. I wouldn't recommend eating here. Drinks with friends and family yes.

I have eaten here several times in the past year and last night being the most recent. Why it is not more crowded I have no idea except people have not rediscovered it. I used to go to Baby A's in the 90s and loved it but in the late 99s I found their food not so good and cleanliness subpar. WELL NOW THEY ARE BACK!!!! At least at this location! I love it! I crave it! Service is exceptional! Food is flavorful and fresh! Best place in town for queso too! Serving size is perfect! Quesadillas can't be beat! Tortilla soup, puffy taco are omg! The rest of the menu is real good too. Yea is fresh! Margarita menu has the usual offerings and a few unique to This restaurant. Go!!!!

We had a yelp perk to go to at the theater nearby, so we decided to try Baby A's out. They do have their own parking lot and the place itself has a lot of room. There is a bar, plenty of seating, TVs & outdoor seating as well. You will be greeted by a host then be seated. Our server was Cesar and he made the experience all the better with his personality and jokes. I add a star just for a server being great at their job and making me laugh. I was interested in trying a margarita but noticed they looked like they're all frozen but there are a few that come on the rocks. He was nice enough to have us try their famous purple margarita to which is said to be the strongest there. I asked him which are on the rocks then he mentioned a watermelon one and stopped him there. lol The watermelon margarita on the rocks was so delicious and you can taste bits of watermelon too . They give you some chips & salsa that are good. I ordered flautas plate & hubby ordered beef enchiladas. They were good but nothing to rave about and I was expecting at least four of them but got three flautas with rice and beans. The enchiladas were two of them. I would return for some margaritas and maybe if i'm in the area Ill order some food. Its great for big groups & having a drink.

Baby A's certainly has a reputation for getting people drunk with their purple margarita, but I'm here to tell you there's more to Baby A's... Important takeaways: Great service Pretty decent food (if you know what to order) Okay fine, they have great Margaritas Service - every time my fiancée and I go to Baby A's we sit in the bar area and everyone who has helped us has been so attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Cody is most often working when we come in and he barely needs to ask us what we want at this stage, but does so out of courtesy. The food - it's not the best food in Austin but damn if they don't have one of my favorite meals in the world. BABY A'S SOUP Y'ALL!! It's like chicken tortilla soup and pho had a baby. Chicken tortilla soup (but better) in flavor and pho in construction. You're served a base of broth with chicken and avocado in it and a side plate of crispy tortilla strips, red onion, cilantro, shredded cheese, and a lime wedge to make the soup your own. It's like a hug in a bowl and it's the best thing on their menu hands down. Honorable mention to my fiancée's favorite meal of the amores tacos - that green amores sauce is the BEST. All of their other food is pretty standard tex mex and is nothing mind blowing but it's definitely good enough to venture away from the soup (a rare occasion for me). Margs - everyone knows Baby A's has some wild frozen margarita options. What's great about them in my opinion is the consistency. There's never an off day, they are always delicious, not too sweet, and have the right strength. My fave is the mango, they clearly use a purée or something instead of syrup and artificial flavors like other places and it shows. It's not electric orange and it actually tastes like a mango! Its my go-to every time. Overall Baby A's is a solid choice for food, drinks, and a good time and deserves more respect than it gets!

Do NOT go to Baby Acapulco - Baby A's off Stone lake blvd, across r the Arboretum!! There toilet literally exploded toilet water all over me when I flushed it. Not a little water, we're talking the force of the water actually pushed me back into the door of the stall!! There was No marker, No sign, nothing saying the stall was broken or out of order. No clue. I enter this tiny stall, lock the door, pee, go to flush and BAM!! Water shooting high speed out of the toilet onto me while I'm trapped in this tiny ass stall. Yes, I initially screamed because the shock and force of this mini flash flood of exploding toilet water aimed directly at me in a tiny locked stall.... After I had a minute to process, I was angry and collected myself as best I could. I called for the manager from my cell phone in the bathroom, she walks in as I have my hands full of paper towels and standing in an inch of water covering the floor of the bathroom and she says - "Oh yeah, we had someone out this morning it was supposed to be fixed. Do you want me to get you a towel or something?".... I was in shock. I look at her, (paper towels in hand, clothes soaked) and say, no but you can get me a refund. She says "okay", "well the plumber was here this morning and they said it was fixed". and she walks out. No apology, nothing. She tried to just comp my food and not my drink... Seriously?! Lady, I'm covered in toilet water and your entire bathroom floor is covered in water!!!! She finally says she will refund everything, supposedly, we'll see... Never go to Baby Acapulco Stonelake Blvd. Austin Texas. Not only are the facilities dirty and broken but the manager is awful!!! **Note to the manager - you should have said "I am so sorry. You're entire meal and single drink is comped. How else can we make this right?". Baby A's at Stonelake - I fully expect a full refund.

I am a service connected 100% disabled veteran first responder. I arrived at 6pm today at Baby A"s Stonelake Austin. There is NO handicap parking and I'm on 8ltrs oxygen with little time left in life. There are no other cars parked near either entrance and I've witnessed only 2 others pull in since the manager, Carlos came out to where I tried parking close enough to get inside on my own w/o use of my transport wheelchair (which must be pushed by attendant). Carlos refused to assist in wheeling me into the restaurant, claiming he was too busy. I'm appalled at the lack of compassion of this individual! What has become of common courtesy or even pride to represent the establishment your income is generated from? Needless to say I won't be dining nor referring anyone here ever.

Baby Acapulco is exactly why their rating reflects. Generic Tex-Mex food that is just a little bit more expensive than it should be. Lots of options when it comes to gimmicky festive margaritas, 10 beer taps and a full bar. If You're in the area and want to drink or want a place with a fun vibe to hang out with friends baby A's is great. If it's date night and or your craving Mexican food there is about 100 other places in Austin that or better scratch that itch.

I enjoyed the food and company tonight at Baby A's! I tried their famous strong purple margarita and I wasn't feeling it (tasted like grape dimetapp, in my opinion). I may have to try the Superman marg next time. I got a regular frozen, some queso and also the Brisas Bowl with grilled shrimp, avocado, and a sweet habanero sauce. The puffy tacos also look good! It's a popular spot with a few locations around Austin.

As of today this will be my last time visiting this place.. Customer service has completely gone down hill. I have been coming here for at least 10 years. This year the turn over rate has been very noticeable especially at the bar. I was coming here mostly everyday after work but that has come to a complete stop today. Word to the wise when you or should i say your bartender comes to work with an attitude and treats people like they could be doing something better with their time then taking care of the customer, that's the first sign that maybe a change of venue is needed. When I come in and sit myself at the bar 10 minutes before the next customers sit themselves I expect to be serviced first, not when you feel like serving me. If you feel like throwing the napkin and the straw on the bar just remember I'm not your dog or someone that you dislike.... I'm am a paying customer... Although my business will not be missed I'm pretty sure you will manage to run off some other customers...By the way I'm not the only regular who has experience these episodes. When I bring this to the attention of management I would normally expect some kind of professional response but that was not the case in this situation.. I'm a customer experience manager for a pretty large corporation and If i were to ever hear of or see any team member treating a customer in this manner, we would have a very long talk that would probably end in termination. To my understanding this very employee has had complaints before but the employee is still there.

Goddamn this place is awful! Not only is the food garbage but the service is even worse. Frozen Mexican TV dinners are more edible than the shit they call food. How it has stayed in business for so long is anyone's guess?

Horrible! My husband ordered a frozen mango margarita that tasted like cleaner so he asked for a new one. Appeared they poured part of it out and added more mango so he said never mind and returned it. When we got our bill they said they have a policy of no refunds on drinks and "they used to have a sign that says that" wth! Food was ok although set around awhile. The restaurant was pretty trashed a table next to us had a high chair by it and a pile of rice on the floor. They moved the high chair and sat a new customer there wow!

First stop at this location in some time and it's hard not to overweight COVID effects to it, but I'll try. Baby A's is always a good pick for Mexican food in Austin. Is it the best? Probably not. Are there worse? Absolutely. It balances quality with price and a great atmosphere to enjoy Mexican food with groups small or large. This one is located near the Arboretum area near the confluence of Capitol of TX Hwy (360), MoPac (1) and US-183. Not very visible from any of the major roads so you will need to know the turns or use your preferred navigation approach. That being said, it puts the location away from other establishments and so it has its own parking lot and doesn't have that feeling like you'd have if you go to a restaurant in a mall or large shopping center. Easy in and out and plenty of parking. The restaurant is large. Sprawling indoor and outdoor seating. For COVID, limited capacity so lots of empty tables with even a 20 minute wait (advertised at 30 minutes, always over-estimate to your customers, pro tip). Good indoor atmosphere in terms of decor (kitsch or not, you can call). Very open with high ceilings, large and small tables, and more intimate areas where you don't feel you're in a large restaurant. Booths or tables, your preference. For COVID, limited menu (one page front and back no including separate drink menu). A few items in each of the main categories (enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, mixed plates, etc). No problem finding what you like if you like this type of food. That being said, my dad got a hamburger. Because he wanted a hamburger. It looked good and he liked it. I got the nachos appetizer as a meal and wasn't disappointed. Instead of a large mound of chips with everything piled on, they were thicker chips about the size of half a crispy taco with the main ingredients on each, then a dallop of guacamole, sour cream, pico, and pile of jalapenos to flavor each. Was perfect and tasted good. I got the ground beef, they also had, chicken, fajita meat or veggie. The service was a bit slow. My feeling was they were short staffed. In fact we were seated and after some time of nobody taking our drink order, our hostess jumped in to get us drinks...and by then we were ready to order so she took that too. Drinks came out medium to slow (maybe 5 minutes for waters and a draft beer). Later the server came flying in to introduce herself and ask if we needed anything, then got reasonably attentive service thereafter. I wouldn't deduce a star because of this and the busyness of the Friday night, but just noteworthy. I feel like anytime you go out to eat in COVID times, additional patience is cumpulsory. Everyone is working hard, no indication our server wasn't she just didn't get to us very quickly So all in all, a good experience. I wouldn't put this at the top of my Austin Mexican food list but certainly would drop in here again if convenient. Which is about my definition for 3 stars.

You come here for the drinks. Do NOT come here for the food. It is a good place to chill or bring in some out-of-towners for an app and a snifter. They are known for there drinks, rightly so. Fairly strong and with a nice selection. Food is more geared for apps and snacks to keep you from driving inebriated once you have the high content specialty drinks.

Great good and reasonably priced but it's just way to understaffed. You have a server doing both serving and barrending. Waited 10+ minutes for a drink.

This has become my family's go to for happy hour gatherings. Tonight was my mother's birthday day celebration which was great! Can't beat happy hour appetizers and drinks for a bday celebration! A few rounds of nachos, amores tacos, drinks, and a few entrees made a perfect Thursday evening perfect. We had Shelly as our server and she was friendly, funny, quick,and checked on us often. She even offered to take a family picture for us around my mom's bday cake which we thought was super nice of her. Thank you Shelly for making my mother birthday celebration all the more Special! We'll be back again and again!

Mediocre food at best. Store bought chips and tortillas. The enchiladas were overly salty as were the refried beans. They've basically got a two drink max. They have a point system with their drinks and once you reach 6 points your cut off. So two margaritas max. Not a place to Uber to for drinks with friends. On the positive side, they're pretty cheap. The salsa with the chips was good. Regardless, there are better Mexican food and drink options in town. Not worth giving this place a second look.

Hi Lisa, I'll tell you why "most" of the loyal customers have stopped coming here. They treat the local with "cold" food. I've been coming here for 16 years and they have continued to decline in service and food. Maybe you get a hit or miss with who ever is cooking for the day however, I continue to visit random days and times and for the last 3 months, I've been served cold food. I like purples, however today it truly happened. They are a LOT weaker than the originals. Don't waste the $$ I wonder why the Mgr. doesn't care. The workers don't care. The chef is new and eats the food hot I bet instead of serving it hot to the customers. I purposely did not attach photos, because I believe someone should come in & turn this place around!!!! Help them Jesus

My first time here and I wasn't impressed. My friend and I had to look around for a waiter to ask where we could sit. We sat down for five minutes before our server asked us to order. Service was slow and the restaurant wasn't even busy. The seats are dirty and need cleaned. Our area wasn't cleaned before we sat down and the server apologized for the dirty floor that he later swept. We didn't order food only drinks. They serve only margaritas, but have different flavors. The "strawberry" margarita is the only drink that taste different. The "purple" is the strongest. I may return to try the food and the drinks were good.

Came by on a whim with some friends for a quick bite. This place is soooooo spacious, PLENTY of seating! I think the food portions are decent and the prices are moderate. We sat by the bar and were helped by the bartender who was courteous and great at making our drinks! so glad I got to try their purple margaritas that are so famous

I take a lot of issue when a restaurant's drink prices are at or higher than the entrees. I came in tonight at 8:27pm knowing they were closing soon but I had time to eat and drink a couple cocktails. I got a patron margarita and it was okay but absolutely not worth the money. My stuffed avocado arrived with a cold center of shredded chicken. Super disappointing. I tried a mezcal margarita and it was alright but I would never pay more than $8 for it (it was $12.99). Service was awkward and I now know why this place has fallen off.

I was invited to an event that was at this Baby A's location & I have to say I haven't been to this location in YEARS & I so have not been missing anything. While Baby A's is not known for their food they are known for their drinks so I was disappointed that the margarita on the rocks that I ordered was very weak & I was so needing a margarita that just hit the spot :-(((((. I did eat but it was only guacamole, salsa, & queso with chip & no complaints there. The seating layout inside is very cool but wish they would put some money into remodeling to update it some & I'm sure that would really help w/ their business & getting customers to return...atmosphere is everything.

Excellent food, I had the Chile con queso which was delicious, great tortillas and salsa and then the soup was excellent. Will recommend to anyone. . John served my table and he was great.

Sebastian at Baby Acapulcos is an amazing server! This was my fiancé and I's first time here and we had a fantastic experience! The manager Carlos was also very kind and honored a military discount for my fiancé who is active duty at the moment! The food was very delicious and the purple margarita is AMAZING! 10/10!

Good. Nothing wrong with that but it's just good Tex-mex food. Nothing particularly amazing about it. Service was ok but they were so slow that I think the staff was bored. It's a huge restaurant that seems like it's being wasted. Could be a great place to hang out and eat but needs to step up it's game especially for the money.
