Was roro at Chispas a mag?
Recommend the Guisado and Sirloin tacos. Make sure to order some side items such as beans, guac, etc. Very delicious and great quality. Personally liked the flour tortillas but was amazed by the Corn tortillas. Very lively environment, great for groups. There is seating outside but did not get to check it out, maybe next time.

What Raul Hagenes dislikes about Chispas:
I don’t normally have bad experiences at restaurants but I won’t be back to Chispas and don’t think it’s a place that is worth spending money at amongst the restaurants in Austin. Worst tacos I’ve ever had here. They brought the wrong ones at first, then the correct ones were small in portion and meat was way over cooked. Like I actually noticed how hard they were to chew. There are MUCH better places to get tacos, c... View all feedback.
The food was mediocre! Service was bad, slow and establishment could use some updating. Lots of other choice for Mexican food. Find another place to eat
Great guacamole and pretty good tacos. We enjoyed the butternut squash and carne guisada tacos. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here but would pop in for lunch if I was close by
The food was fantastic! We enjoyed every single thing that we ordered. The cocktails were good too, and we appreciated their wine list. A lot of Tex Mex or casual restaurants tend to fail in the wine department
The corn tortillas at this restaurant are incredible. You have to try the frozen palomas - they are a must! Our server, Juan, was exceptional. I highly suggest dining here. Even though I usually don't like beans, the borracho beans are delicious.
The restroom facilities for both men and women were incredibly unsanitary. It appeared as though they had not been cleaned in quite some time. Despite this, some of the food was enjoyable. However, my husband's taco had an undercooked egg, even for an "over-easy" preparation. The highlight of our experience was our waiter, who provided excellent service throughout our meal.
