Ma'Coco

Last week I visited Austin for my friends birthday party. On Saturday, we decided to go to brunch at my Ma'Coco. Me being a Southern girl I was a little hesitant because I've never had a Mexican brunch before but I said huh let's try it. Boy am I glad I did. As soon as I walked in the door we were greeted with warm welcomes and smiles. The staff was friendly and patient. I asked a lot of questions because I was unfamiliar with some of the items on the menu. My friends opted for an array of items I chose the Migas. Initially, I didn't think I was going to like the dish but once I customized it, I quickly realized it was for me. The drinks are on another level. So refreshing so delicious yet still give you a buzz. We even had the donuts. If you're in the Austin area and want to have a non-traditional brunch, try something different I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

10/10 — Highly recommend! The burrito and carne asada fries are a must-try! This was my second visit with my boyfriend and family, and everything was just as great as the first time. The space is limited, so I recommend getting there right when they open to grab a spot or book a reservation. The drinks are delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. Only thing to note — it can get a little hot in the summer since the AC doesn’t seem to be on, but the food and drinks make it worth it. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Buda — I’ll be coming back again and again! 😁

A great local place, fresh food, lovely staff that makes you feel at home. The Jamaica was yummy and even though the Al pastor wasn’t on the trompo, it was still delicious. Def looking forward to returning! The churro donuts made topped the lunch! Forgot to take a pic of our first and 2nd course.

First time experiencing Ma’Coco Karla was friendly, and knowledgeable with amazing recommendations. The food was delicious, fresh and vibrant. If you haven’t visited yet definitely put it on your list!

Went here for the first time after recommended by a colleague. The spot itself is super cute, and the food exceeded my expectations. They have homemade tortillas, and great spirits. And the churro donuts were freshly made and out of this world! The service was also great, and kuddos to the waitress who was serving the whole restaurant. The alcoholic drinks were a little pricey ($15) but of course that’s optional.

I walked in tonight for a birthday dinner with my dad and we were ready to eat and drink to our hearts desire. We were both excited because the food looked great online and were hoping to get the five star Google review experience. Unfortunately, we got the 1 star Google review experience because after being sat by the hostess we waited 15-20 minutes without anyone coming by to take our drink order or introduce themselves. The waitress and other staff walked by us numerous times without any hint of acknowledgment. After a while of waiting my dad and I decided to just leave. It was super weird for someone to not even let us know it would be a few minutes or give us some sort of update. Keep in mind, I’m a former server myself, so I’m typically very understanding of waitstaff. However, there was a server, hostess, and bartender working and there were only 4-5 tables small tables sat in the entire restaurant (including our two-top). The place was slow by all accounts. The staff was leisurely going about their business as well, so I couldn’t even throw them a bone by thinking maybe they were super stressed and overworked. Nope. They just casually walked by us a thousand times before we gave up. Not cool. The bartender was a sweetheart when I asked where the bathroom was though…so uh there’s that I guess.

Had reservations for tonight (12/31) at 6:15pm. Confirmed reservation yesterday. Looked on Google today, hours confirmed open. Got dressed up and headed to a closed restaurant. Happy New year.

Hit this restaurant for brunch with family. Pros: interesting menu options; fresh ingredients; flautas were very tasty; cool setting/location. Cons: 3-egg omelette is a bad choice--cooked on top of way over-cooked cheese layer that was tough and difficult to even slice with a knife, filled with a few paltry onions and pepper pieces; restaurant won't split a check with over 5 patrons but happily charges such groups 20% gratuity; ownership is not wasting $ on air conditioning--place was an oven; too camped for more than small groups. Just a very ordinary experience when all things are considered and won't be visiting again.
