Fresh Tex-Mex food in a bright, boisterous atmosphere. Austin Grill is a popular happy hour destination so expect the bar to be overflowing on a Friday evening. In addition to the Tex-Mex basics Austin Grill specializes in seafood.

Not bad but not worth waiting for
Boy, is this place is overrated. Perfectly suitable Tex-Mex but the place seems to have an attitude along with their unreasonably long waits. It's on a par with Rio Grande, but pales compared to Mi Rancho (Silver Spring and Germantown) and the Salvadorean-Mexican restaurant El Mariachi (Rockville). All I can say is after two visits, I can't tell you what the hype is about.    [26 May 2000 12:23:45]

Ditto, hawknoah
Its allright. Very young kid friendly (but leave a big tip if they make a mess and yell!). ;)

But I think you can do better.    [05 Aug 2003 15:19:24]

Good for lunch, forget about weekend evenings
Fun atmosphere and decor. Good margaritas. Shiner Bock on tap. Recommended for lunch or happy hour.

Better than most Tex-Mex, including Rio Grande, but I refuse to wait an hour for any place in Bethesda. I've had many a good lunch here but will NEVER AGAIN attempt a Friday or Saturday evening. (And the same goes for Jaleo across the street.)

Kid friendly, but if your kid can eat more than a soft taco you're screwed. No ala carte items. I paid more for two kids meals than if he had ordered from the adult menu. Server couldn't/wouldn't figure out a reasonable solution.

Mostly very good bartenders. Have a couple of drinks and watch the people go by. Eat at the bar if possible. During prime time, skip the hassles and go to California Tortilla.    [30 Sep 2003 14:50:38]
