Business Summary what's this?
For three star Southwestern, try Guero's Taco Bar in Austin. It's been awarded the Best of Mexican Food and Best of Margarita awards. This restaurant is very affordable. This place is open late and good for groups. Diners found the food seriously good and below average if that. Try the queso.

Once we put our name on the list (there was a long wait) we inquired at the hostess station as to how much longer it would be and the hostess was so RUDE!!!! A simple 10-15 minutes would have been sufficient. We ended up walking out with a party of six. Honesly, if you're going to have a hostess should she be more personable and patient. I asked the manager what her name was he said Dela. We'll never go back.
