Fonda San Miguel Austin Reviews from The Last Year
Still wonderful food and service but changed the happy hour
Still wonderful food and service but changed the happy hour to only $2.00 off vs half off. Really shocked when I received the check. Updated review as I don't think it is fair to penalize this restaurant for the pricing change. This is still a treasure for Austin!
Great Mexican restaurant with a wonderful happy hour.
It gets busy very quickly after 5 PM. But what construction is going on next door, are they expanding where the old laundromat used to be?
I've heard soooo much about Fonda San Miguel since moving
I've heard soooo much about Fonda San Miguel since moving to Austin and I'm so glad I finally got to try it! Firstly, the vibes are so giving upscale Matt's El Rancho. Their margs were fabulous. Their queso fondido and guac was awesome. Guac had these 2 cheese sticks in it which I assume was cojita but it was such a yummy addition. Their tortillas on the side of the queso fondido were also delish. I got the enchiladas verdes and my friend got enchiladas suizas. These were both SO good. I'm glad I got verdes because suizas would've been a bit heavy for me but seriously so good. We went out after so it wasn't heavy enough to weigh us down you know. Their service was great too - since we were a big group we were slow at making decisions and the waiter was patient and attentive! Overall 10/10!!! Love this place for group dinners or special occasions. Hope I go back soon!
You need a reservation to eat here.
However, bar is first come, first serve. Service was pretty quick too. It's a beautiful place and nicely dim area. They do have natural light too. Food was surprisingly tasteful and drinks were great and flavorful too. The parking was actually not so bad. Again, you need a reservation. We were just lucky.
Our waiter was amazing, I have no complaints about the
Our waiter was amazing, I have no complaints about the service at all. It was also really cool inside of the restaurant as well. I did not enjoy my enchiladas that much I thought the sauce was very lacking and were slightly overpriced which is why I am giving 3 stars.
The new and improved menu is quite enjoyable.
We took my Aunt to celebrate her birthday and she liked the festive environment with the mariachi band and colorful interiors. The food is rick and filling so it's an indulgence for special occasions. But there are only a few restaurants in Austin that have this kind of lively decor, good vegetarian options, and dependedable service.
Great food with kind staff.
I'm pregnant and the hostesses were considerate and accommodating while waiting for our table. Our waiter and manager were also very kind and friendly. The inside was beautiful as well.

An absolute must when you live in Austin! Resys may be hard to come by, but they reserve spots for walk ins. Best time to come in is during their happy hour where there are reduced prices on some of the items. The most recent trip I got a marg and their Al pastor tacos (but on flour) and they were delicious! Service is good, especially when you're at a table versus the bar.
Yum yum YUM! The food here is absolutely delicious- I got
Yum yum YUM! The food here is absolutely delicious- I got the tacos al carbon with corn tortillas and the tortillas themselves were so fresh I could eat them alone. The steak melts in your mouth and the grilled onions were just an added but delightful touch! The ambience of this restaurant is spectacular, such a cool vibe with natural sunlight coming in the waiting area. Our server, Josh or J, was phenomenal. Efficient with us and made sure everything was good the whole dinner!
First the atmosphere and art work are amazing.
The food is equally amazing although on the high side for Mexican food, although it is not your everyday Mexican food or Tex/Mex
Great food and service
Make sure to get a reservation as this is a busy place. Very attentive service by all the employees. Food was very flavorful. Had the tacos al carbon and my wife had a chicken quessadilla. Both were excellent. The chips and salsas were also great.
Not top tier
The Uber driver looked puzzled and wanted to know which concierge was displacing us so far out of downtown as a group of 6 looking for the best of what Austin has to offer. While this place is cool to look at inside and out, it’s a family eatery out in suburbia rather than an upscale destination in the heart of things. Not what you want then you’re in town for just the weekend. The food was adequate and margaritas were great. The 3D portrait that looks like the Pope (but is actually the restaurant owner) is just weird. I don’t understand how this is restaurant is appearing on list after list of Austin’s top dining. It’s just not in that league and we are bewildered as to why a luxury hotel concierge would have sent us here.
I've lived in Austin for six years and it's been in just
I've lived in Austin for six years and it's been in just the past year that I've been learning that there's an entire class of restaurant in this city that relies entirely on nostalgia and a reputation from years past. These restaurants have been around for decades which by all means, is impressive. But their foundations were cured well before the dawn of Austin's current burgeoning food scene full of creativity and innovation. I imagine that the survival of these places is hinged upon people's habits and reflexes. "My parents used to take us there thirty years ago for special occasions so it's what comes to mind when another special occasion arises." Matt's El Rancho and Vespaio fit into this particular category. And I'd add Fonda San Miguel to the list as well. The interior decor is fascinating and a pleasure to look at. The exterior of the building and the surrounding property is delightful. The table salsas were great. The overall service was accommodating. The guacamole was passable, the mole didn't have much flavor, and the cauliflower tacos were pretty greasy. I was most excited about the Huitlacoche Quesadilla. The Huitlacoche is seasonal and I was thrilled when I was told that it was available on the evening that we dined. But it ended up being a bit underwhelming. I relied on all of the sauces from the various dishes at the table to amplify the flavor. I was dining with a friend (who was in the know) who requested the housemade tortilla chips. Had he not, their default is to serve chips from a bag. If Veracruz All Natural can serve me housemade chips from the back of a truck then, I think that Fonda San Miguel probably has the resources to do the same in their massive brick-and-mortar kitchen. From their reputation, you'd think that this place would be on par with Comedor or Suerte but the truth is that it's more suited for the Eldorado Cafe or La Cocina de Consuelo caliber of dining. The food quality simply does not live up to the impression of fine dining. Fonda San Miguel is disappointingly average and I assure you that there's much better out there.
My wife and returned to this establishment after
My wife and returned to this establishment after experiencing a wonderful meal less than a year ago. While the ambiance and service continue to be impeccable, the same cannot be said for the food. As with most mexican food establishments chips and salsa were presented. The chips were light but a little oily and the salsa, both green and red were just lacking. Large chunks of tomatillo were left in the green sauce and the red was nothing more than a watered down knock-off of something that only resembled hot sauce. The highlight of the evening was the small queso fundido con rajas ($9.75). This dish was served piping hot with fresh homemade flour & corn tortillas. Really delightful and recommended, yummy. I had a dos XX bottle beer ($8.00) and my wife had the strawberry swirl ($15.00). Her drink was tasty but really strong and my beer was nice and cold. The entrees arrived and nicely presented. My wife had the Pescado Zarandeado ($36.95) which was slightly overcooked but included a quite large portion. I understand this is a signature dish so the imperfections were magnified as nothing more than a lack of concern by the kitchen staff. I had one of the specials of the night - Chili Relleno con Camarones ($28.95). The presentation just sat there, a big chili relleno surrounded by some lackluster sauce filled with teeny tiny shrimp. The shrimp were properly prepared but had zero flavor profile just like the sauce on the chili relleno. After tasting this flop I was wishing I had ordered something else. This is an expensive Mexican Food restaurant. Our dinner for 2 with drinks, tax and tip was $130.00. As much as I was overwhelmed a year ago with Fonda San Miguel, I was equally underwhelmed this year. After this disappointment I am not sure I would return for a third bit at the apple. In Austin, you can find much better establishments for the money.
Excellent restaurant, couldn't recommend more highly.
The service, food and ambiance are spot on.
This place is so authentic and food was amazing .
This place definitely exceeded my expectations in every way possible. If you're craving authentic Mexican cuisine served with a side of hospitality, look no further than this hidden gem. I can't wait to return and explore more of their tantalizing menu offerings!
Started going to Fonda San Miguel with my parents in 1976.
Today, it is my family's go to place for celebrations. The atmosphere is uniquely old school Austin. The food is authentic interior Mexican and consistently amazing. The service is first rate with staff that has been in place for generations. If you want to taste one of the best in Austin (and its longevity underscores) you must go to San Miguel's.
Still going strong since the 70s. One of the best restaurants in Austin.
Fonda San Miguel is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin and my go to when I have friends come in from out of town. A friend recently traveled here from the UK and I took him to dinner there. He had told me he wanted something other than Tex - Mex (which I adore) and I told him this was more interior Mexican food. I am always delighted at the menu choices and the margaritas are impeccable. We started the calamari which was absolutely incredible and cooked to perfection. A must have. I ordered the wagyu tacos with nopal paddle and brick layer salsa. It was amazing. My dining companion ordered the lamb. The portion was HUGE and he absolutely enjoyed it. You can not go wrong with anything on the menu at this place. Beautiful interior and amazing staff. This place is by far one of my top 5 picks in all of Austin.
Walked in without a reservation on a Tuesday eve and was
Walked in without a reservation on a Tuesday eve and was impressed that they had a 45 min wait, BUT you could sit anywhere in front of house open seating and it was full service menu still!!! So we sat down and were promptly greeted by a kind server. They were diligent with water and chips and our food was delicious. I forgot what a local gem this place is. We will be back asap!!
Food, service, and ambience were all on point.
We'll definitely be back! Best to reserve your table if going on a Friday or Saturday evening,
The food is overpriced for the quantity.
I ordered enchiladas and they were horrible, it came with literally 2 spoonfuls of rice and beans. Not worth the wait or price.
First time did not disappoint at all! Excellent drinks,
First time did not disappoint at all! Excellent drinks, guacamole, carne asada entree, Wagyu steak tacos, and el Mateo dessert to end the evening. Highly recommend!
Amazing food and atmosphere.
We had wonderful servers who handled our large party perfectly. Definitely go around Christmas the decor is beautiful.
Excellent and Unsual
Not your typical Mexican restaurant with unusual authentic dishes that will tickle the tastebuds and satisfy everyone. Especially impressed with a full plant based/vegan set of options that was not just the substitution style approach but rethinking and reimagining dishes Drinks were great too
Great meal … As Always!
So good! Dinner with my wife and several of her work colleagues. All kinds of yummy appetizers -- beet tacos and cauliflower tacos, fried oyster tortillas (wow!), best lamb chops in Texas, memorable black beans, and crazy fresh guacamole. Entrees great too - shrimp, steak fajitas, and more. Still fabulously decorated for Christmas. Wonderful server! Great dining experience!
Loved the atmosphere! And the food was exceptional.
The setting is exceptional due to lights and trees. Service was top notch and we each loved the meals (pork and beef). The pork shank simply melted off the bone and we recommend highly.
Top Notch, Authentic Mexican Food!
Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. I ordered the ceviche as an appetizer and the cochinita pibil (Yucatan pork baked in a banana leaf) and both were VERY good. I'd highly recommend those dishes.
Bad
I went to this restaurant after 5 years. I’m super sorry to say that I was disappointed during my this visit. I sat on bar as I was alone.. to my disappointment both food and drinks were very disappointing. I felt like I wasted my money. I’m so sorry! Do not recommend.
Gorgeous restaurant!
I wished I liked this restaurant better than I did. The outside entrance and interior is amazing Mexican architecture at its finest. This is the prettiest Mexican restaurant I've been to. I had the camarones crema de chipotle and queso asados. My wife had the enchiladas suizas , but thought it was bland. Sorry, just not not taste.

Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

Can come from a lot of places, people who don't want to get charged their cancellation fee or people who just have them and cant go.

almost all restaurants aren't affiliated with AT and I'm guessing it's mostly people wanting to not pay cancellation fees.

Reservations could be posted for a variety of reasons. Most likely, the person who secured the reservation can no longer attend - to avoid accruing a "no show" fee, they can find someone to take their place.
