Zagat "This SoCo stop attracts "masses" of locals and visitors alike for "no-nonsense" Mexican grub and "margaritas that'll take the enamel off your teeth"." Full review
BlackBook "The epicenter of South Congress. Tourists take taxis straight here from the airport. The queso flameado and tacos al pastor have something to do with it."
Gayot11.0
"This spacious south Austin landmark hums with the frantic energy of a loyal lunch crowd seeking a Tex-Mex fix." Full review
Michelin Guide "This iconic South Congress Avenue, occupying a late 19C feed store, ls a big part of the hip Austin scene."
Rough Guide "Tacos al pastor are a specialty (about $9) at this busy, sprawling restaurant located across the bridge, south of downtown."

The Infatuation6.4
"Guero’s is the rare tourist destination (especially among those who consider themselves in the know) that Austin locals still love, too." Full review
Frommer's "This is one of the main hangouts on South Congress. It occupies an old feed store that dates from the time when South Austin was a low-rent area at the margins of the city." Full review

"Oh, Güero's, how we love you. Why must you make us wait? Well, clearly it's because of the three million other hungry people crammed into your bar area." Full review
Time Out "Guero's Taco Bar is a Congress Ave staple, a restaurant where tacos and margaritas pile up on tables that overlook the busy thoroughfare." Full review

Zagat ""Simply brilliant", this "whimsical" Rosedale sib to Uchi features Tyson Cole's "wildly creative" Japanese fare in "beautiful" presentations." Full review
BlackBook "The menu changes faster than the weather, but you can always bank on a selection of both hot and cool items that fuse traditional with progressive."
Gayot15.0
"The sweet and tart tomatillo perks up the buttery scallop as the crunch of house-made chips counters the soft meat." Full review
Travel + Leisure "It's an assemblage of flavors...that's evocative, a little mysterious and a lot of fun." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Sister restaurant to Uchi, Uchiko offers a more rustic take on Japanese cuisine, while still serving several Uchi classics, like the bacon steakie, a version of seared pork belly." Full review
The Infatuation8.4
"Uchi’s sister restaurant Uchiko is very similar in terms of cuisine, but different in that it feels less like a sushi restaurant and more like a farm-to-table spot." Full review
Time Out "Cole’s menus change often and range widely enough to appeal to novices as well as connoisseurs, who can compare, say, three different kinds of sea urchin." Full review
Time Out "The non-traditional dishes here steal the show—these Japanese small plates are delectable works of art." Full review
