The Open View

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.

Yelp.com Review - by nicole c.

4.0 of 5 stars. I liked this place. We were seated right away. The food was "okay". The margaritas were great. I liked the interior. Service was good. Wasn't the best mexican I've ever had, but we had a fine time.
