La Piscina Austin

Finding authentic, fresh Tex-Mex in Austin can be a challenge, but La Piscina at the Proper Hotel delivers an incredible fajita experience worthy of five stars. From the sizzling plates to the hand-shaken margaritas, everything about my meal at La Piscina wowed my tastebuds. The fajitas alone are worth a special visit. Perfectly marinated and grilled skirt steak, chicken and veggies arrived at our table still sizzling loudly on a steaming cast iron plate. The meat was so tender and flavorful, enhanced by the smoky char. We could even hear the meat cooking at neighboring tables - the best kind of dinner music! And everything that accompanied the fajitas impressed too. The fresh chips and salsa started the meal off right with the ideal balance of crispness and flavor. And our jalapeño margaritas, made meticulously tableside, were vibrant, smooth and dangerously drinkable. The elegant, modern atmosphere is an ideal backdrop, whether dining on the breezy patio or in the stylish dining room. And the waitstaff provided friendly, prompt service with an authentic warmth. For mind-blowing fajitas and perfect hospitality, La Piscina scores top marks. The care and skill that goes into the execution here makes for an incredible dining experience that truly celebrates the flavors of Mexico. I'll be back again and again.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to, and a personal favorite. Margs and food were soo good and the view is a plus!

Amazing food, amazing service The queso was amazing such a deep and earthy flavor, and the flan is a MUST have, extremely decadent and creamy We got the fajitas to share and the carnitas Al carbon was amazing - definitely on the pricier side but we ate well for about $250 (for 4 people)
