Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in South Austin

Incredible food, service was amazing, my coconut margarita was insanely delicious, and the ambiance was perfect.

When we first arrived, it was quite crowded and there seemed to be a bit of confusion as to where we should be while the wait staff tried to manage a rather large gathering of folks. After a bit of moving back and forth, we were seated at our table. Once there, the experience was transformative. The food was superb, and each course was well-paced to give us time to savor each beautifully crafted plate. Highly recommend this establishment.

Amazing from start to finish. Super personable and helpful waitstaff who helped us figure out the menu and must-have items. Vibe was lively but also intimate. Every dish was the best version of that I’ve ever had. Tuna Tiridito was crunchy and creamy. Fish tacos light and fresh. Zarandeado was a knockout - smoky. Guava cheesecake was rich, but with a good textural balance with the candied pepitas. Can’t wait to come back

Excellent food and atmosphere. It was lively, if not a little loud. We had four items, including the ceviche, brisket tacos, flautas, and sweet potatoes. I would recommend all. They were all super flavorful. The balance of potatoes and duck in the flautas was a little off (too much potato) which made it a little bland, but the mole sauce hit the mark and helped round out the flavor. We would definitely return and try other items.

ATX Cocina has great food, great service, and a wonderful ambience. I love going there for both business and family occasions. It is my favorite restaurant in Austin.
