Mexta wants to be Austin’s new upscale Mexican dining destination
We’re spoiled for Mexican and Tex-Mex food here in Austin. We’ve got countless taco trucks operating across the city at all hours, providing late-night and early-morning sustenance to partiers, shift workers, and everyone in between. We’ve got a host of mom-and-pop restaurants, where you can chill on a Friday night with some enchiladas and some margs and launch the weekend.
Mexta prides itself on its diverse array of cocktails, with discrete sections for margaritas, palomas, and signature concoctions. My spouse, a mezcal lover, chose the Palomazo, a bright, citrusy classic with beetroot shrub that added visual interest and depth of flavor. I had the Cantarito, because despite not having a deep love of mezcal, I was intrigued by the combination of pineapple and tamarind Jarritos.
We split a flan for dessert and were surprised when it was served in cubes. It didn’t have much flavor and was, ultimately, a very boring end to what could have been an excellent meal. “It’s been a long time since we went to Fonda San Miguel,” my spouse said as we left. “We need to get back there soon.” I agreed.
