Mexican Food...with a health flare?


Whether it’s girls night out, or the perfect place for a date, even if you want to bring the kids (early) this delightful, yet casual place will make you feel good and satisfy that craving for yummy Mexican food. When you go you definitely want to start with Chef David Garrido’s signature Oyster Tostadas on yucca root chips with honey habanera aioli… they literally melt in your mouth and are my personal favorite. You can’t go wrong with any of his tacos. Try the BLT Snapper taco or any one of his fabulous entrĂ©es. And…don’t forget dessert! His Pastel de Calabaza with crema fresca (zucchini cake) has been a recipe in his family for over 40 years. This dish is so light and fresh it is the perfect top to a perfect meal.


This amazing, modern, Mexican Tequileria backs up to beautiful Shoal Creek and rests right in the trendy Seaholm District, downtown. The patio  has a serenity that makes you feel as though you are not in downtown Austin, but rather in a beautiful tropical area in South America.


Next time you feel like Mexican food come to Garrido’s for Dinner or Brunch…your taste buds will thank you.
