A huge, family-run Tex-Mex restaurant on South Lamar, open since 1952 and still run by the Martinez family, with several dining rooms and a big patio around a fountain. It's known for the Bob Armstrong dip (queso, taco meat and guacamole, named after a former Texas land commissioner) and for its fresh lime margaritas. Their asadero tacos, made with beef fillet, are on Texas Monthly's list of 120 tacos you must eat before you die. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Austin. There's usually a wait but it moves quickly.
