Don Mario Mexican Restaurant

The food was excellent - both orders of beef fajitas, veggies and sides were all fresh and delicious - likewise, queso & all sides. Mole enchiladas were better than my own recipe, and my recipe is YUM, courtesy of my very authentic Mexican niece, who hails from Mexico City. We also order take-out from this restaurant and the food never fails to please! Parking was easy and abundant just after 1:30 PM on a Monday.

We have been to Don Mario in RR 620 several times; both in their old location and now in the new and much bigger location. The new location is definitely much larger. It was clean and staff very friendly and helpful. The three of ordered different dishes; each turned out quite tasty and delicious. The chips and salsa were excellent. If you ask they will bring out more spicy ( and hot stuff) to go with the chips !
We were very pleased and definitely recommend probably the best Mexican restaurant in Lakeway/ Hudson Bend area.

Let me tell you about their Birria tacos 🤤🤤. Excellent!! First time here. Will be bringing family back!!

Always see this place parking lot packed. I finally decided that I would come here after work one Friday night. Service is great. I was seated right away. Service was spot on quick. Chips and salsa at my table just as I was sitting down. Employees were on their game! I ordered enchiladas and they did not disappoint. So much food. I was able to take half home for lunch the next day. Loved the salsa. Nice spicy heat.

Every time we eat there, we come away with a great experience. I enjoyed the fish tacos and also the chips salsa and queso were excellent. I actually love the street tacos, not showing in the pictures.

Recently moved into the area, and this is one of our staple spots! The food is awesome (especially the street tacos) and the service is excellent. The street tacos are authentic and similar to what you might find in San Diego! Delicious! The prices are reasonable and the margaritas are strong. What more could you ask for?

Date night with my son. I asked about the additional sauces and the waitress pointed me to the street tacos. I was eyeing them already and had 4 nicely filled mini barbacoa tacos. My son had chicken enchiladas with red sauce, queso and a chicken quesadilla to go.

The waitress, Gaby, was welcoming with a smile. It was my first time at Don Mario’s and we had questions, which she answered with ease. Food arrived within a reasonable time and was quite tasty. The tacos were the best barbacoa I’ve had in a minute.

It’s Thursday and the live music from the electric-acoustic guitarist was nice but a little loud. My son is also a musician so we are probably more adaptable to the volume. We did have to raise our voices.

This establishment is ideal for large parties and outdoor seating. Nice bar with TVs. Clean and spacious. Plenty of parking. Excellent service, food and atmosphere.

Love this place!! We pass a few restaurants to come here. Their red chilaquiles are authentic. You can ask for them spicy or in the guajilllo(non spicy) sauce. Their Al pastor street tacos are amazing (my favorite) but when I’m not too hungry their regular Al pastor or carnitas taco are just as good and filling too. They have a variety of salsas for their tacos too. Yummm!! For something different and delicious too are their mole enchiladas with carnitas. The coffee with canela(cinnamon) is an option they have, which I love. All of their mezcal cocktails are delicious!! We love breakfast, lunch & dinner here!!

Service was wonderful, the staff was super friendly. The food was delicious! The enchiladas were super good and the sopas were awesome! Added the fresh salsa and chips!

Best Queso Carnitas In Austin!!! Since relocating to Austin last year I have went to many restaurants in search of the best queso. Don Mario’s offers up the best queso carnitas I’ve ever had anywhere. The service is always stellar, I’ve always been seated right away. The food is excellent and makes it to the table sizzling hot and delicious. I highly recommend the enchiladas de camaron.

Everything 💯/% Terrific Delicious started with the appetizer: ceviche (shrimp and fish) pozole and pork ribs in habanero chile sauce for those of us who like the spicy, flower tortillas, chips and salsa, hochata. Except with the younger waitresses, with their mind elsewhere.....

The chips were cold but the salsa was good.order the Panbazo whit Azada. came out good and smell great.keep up the good work guys.

This is my absolute staple Mexican restaurant. It’s always consistent and reasonably priced. I love their mole. Great margaritas too.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. Authentic Mexican restaurant !
Do not miss the cactus tacos here . Its called nopales . Really good and unique .
We got two of the cactus tacos and the pork and chicken tacos . Really good.
The chips and salsa are fresh and crispy.
And decently priced as well .

I have eaten here several times, and not been disappointed. The milanesa, street tacos, el alambres, and breakfast have been fantastic. I have ordered the veggie enchiladas twice before, and they were excellent as well. However, the last time I visited, the veggie enchiladas were basically a couple of flat soggy tortillas drowned in a spicy green sauce. There was basically nothing inside the enchiladas. I didn't raise a fuss because we were dining with friends. But live and learn.... The veggie enchiladas are off the list!!! Still, the refried black beans and rice almost made up for the disappointing entree. Overall, a great place for some really good Mexican food! If not for the recent veggie enchilada disaster, I would give it 5 stars. Recommend giving the rest of the menu a try!

This restaurant just moved to a new location. The new building is MUCH larger than the previous place - 3 to 4 times larger. There's also now much more - and less cramped - parking.

The food and drinks here are still great. We keep coming back here because it's delicious. The Mole is exceptional. As are the Horchata Coladas (pictured).

The Mexican tacos were made with a generous amount of bistec and queso fundido (Mexican fondue style cheese)

I’m so glad we found our go-to Mexican Restaurant here in Austin.

Did not disappoint
