Austin’s most colorful hacienda, Fonda San Miguel

Open since 1975, @fondasanmigueltx is one of Austin's most Instagrammable spots. This colorful, art & exotic plant-filled restaurant serves sophisticated traditional Mexican cuisine. Catch their happy hour that runs Mon-Thurs 5-7 pm with 1/2 priced appetizers-quesadillas, pastor tacos, ceviche, and tostada compuestas. $1 off tequila cocktails.

MUST TRY: Prickly pear margarita, ceviche, and pastor tacos were chefs' kiss!

In a city filled with great restaurants, Fonda San Miguel is my favorite hidden gem. This hacienda is a beloved destination for both local and global folks. Its authentic Mexican cuisine and ambiance makes you feel transported to a restaurant in Mexico City or the Yucatan.
