Reviews for Fresa's South First in Austin, TX
The staff was warm and inviting, matching the atmosphere of the restaurant. The food was remarkable. The service left a little... to be desired. That being said, I was part of a large group, but my expectations were still high, as we were one of the firstthree parties in the restaurant that day. It still took the server five minutes to greet the table, and another three to fourminutes to bring waters. The recommendations provided were excellent and on point. As the restaurant started to fill, we saw ourserver less and less, especially as he was assigned another large party without any help. He likely could have sold our group of17 another round of drinks to keep us satiated, while building sales and ultimately his tip, but instead our glasses ran empty,as did our patience waiting for him to return to the table. All in all, it was a great experience, and had there been a littlemore help for our server - be it a busser or even a manager filling waters and ensuring we were doing alright, we'd have felteven more taken care of and this would easily be a five+ star review.

I've come here a few times and always loved it, for the food, the service, the location, the drinks and the patio. Last time I... went though I was disappointed mainly in the food and the service. There was a mistake on 2 of the 5 items we ordered and thewaiter made it seem like putting the hot sauce on the side was a big deal (it wasn't). Although the food wasn't bad, it was notas good as it used to be. I would still go back and give it a second chance as it could have just been a one time thing ( Ihope). Read more
This place is absolutely amazing! I wasn't sure what to expect when ordering an Avacado Margarita, but it is now my favorite... drink. The food was outstanding and their staff is very friendly. I highly recommend! Read more
food was delicious especially their queso blanco!! chicken quesadilla was pretty standard fare nothing too special. brisket /... shrimp tacos stuffed well although a tad expensive per taco. the other true standout was the elote! garnished perfectly withtajin & cotija cheese! breezy patio with a nice ambiance overall. parking can be tight. will return!

Great Mexican fare with fresh ingredients and a lovely patio nestled into the trees. We LOVED the grilled beets and the hibiscus... tea, but weren’t thrilled with the tacos or ceviche which wasn’t prepared traditionally (letting it sit overnight in citrus)and only served with two tortilla chips, literally. I’d come back but hope they’ll improve a few items. Read more
Great Mexican eatery with a beautiful outdoor space. Wait staff is extra friendly. Food is good and reasonably priced. Loved the... aioli in the beet salad, although the pumpkin seeds were not necessary as a topping. Chicken was a tad dry but the salsasflavorful; queso dip yummy. Read more
Booked a table in advance and were sat upon arrival. Parking lot is small so we parked on a side street and walked. We veganized... the Power Bowl, La Fresa taco, and El Santo taco by subbing cauliflower and brussel sprouts. Margs were a bit too sweet butcan’t complain for the price. Lovely patio perfect for social distanced dining! Read more
Good range of Mexican fare. The range of and taste of the tacos were great, although I've had better chips and guac. The service... was a little slow, especially for a business lunch with 10+ of us that we booked in advance Read more
