We have been enjoying light Mexican and Tex Mex fare from Hornitos as long as we can remember. This neighbrhood gem and classic Austin eatery has wonderful service, tasty margaritas and other drink selections, and a comfortable vibe that can be perfect for both taking famiies and college friends. I recommend their chips with queso and enchilada plates. On this visit, we had chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. the mole was lighter in color than most places, but the taste was authentic. There is plenty of parking and the neighborhood is walkable.

Family owned restaurant. Great food. Friendly staff! Great bartenders!! Their Diablo shrimp taco will never disappoint

Amazing place! Such a lowkey place but it has the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had. We got the queso, chips, and brisket tacos and it was all so fresh, delicious, and came out super fast. We also had some margaritas and they were phenomenal! The service was truly the best part, we had an amazing server Jose who was super good at his job and so friendly! He ensured we were taken care of properly and we never went without anything we needed. The place is super cute and quaint, very old school Austin vibes and I really enjoyed it. Hidden gem and I will be returning frequently!

I found a new item on their menu. They now offer Street Tacos. I had the brisket. Excellent. Four tacos served with fresh onions and cilantro on two corn tortillas. The brisket was tender and tasty. Don't forget to ask for the homemade BBQ sauce. It's sweet but spicy. Don't let the I35 construction fool you. They're still open and will be for at least another 6 months.

Love the food and the people that work there. Family owned businesses love eating here and hanging out . Good times!

Good unpretentious, tasty, filling breakfast. Very reasonable priced. Neighborhood joint.

I finally CAME BACK!!!!!! I was so excited to come back to one of my favorite restaurants. It's still as delicious, there's a new waitress and she's the sweetest. I ordered the barbacoa tacos and it was DELICIOUS! The barbacoa was spot on. Took our order, kept checking up on us, refilled our drinks. I love it and I can't wait to be back. Hidden Jem if you ask me , definitely check it out
