Mariana's Kitchen — Restaurant in Austin

Excellent authentic South Austin finest "Mexican" food, flavor filled home style cooking only South Austin can offer. "Tejas" Mexican cuisine but equally a Top award winning heck of a Bacon Cheese burger and skinny fresh french fries. Family owned and worth the wait since now....people have gotten wind and are coming in droves! Suprise of the day best chicken caldo, equally the Menudo. The Salsa de la Mañana is one of the best suthentic tasting in town. Wow just like my mom used to make....love it, come join me you will not go wrong. Barbacoa daily and better than most in high quality and flavor.

Excellent food for the Texan in South Austin, (TEJANOS) Soul food. Today I enjoyed grilled Steak Ranchero, with grilled serrano, onions, tomatoes. Best homemade 'refried beans' in Austin. Today Mariana recommended the hash browns as a compliment to my breakfast. Fantastic hash browns with my three over easy eggs accompanied with the ,Salsa de la Mañana (stewed morning hot salsa). Guacamole over a tiny salad. Handmade corn Tortillas. What a great way to...

Would give negative stars to this restaurant if possible. The waitress lie about several things and provided horrible service. Here a list of what took place:

-3% surcharge if you use a debit or credit card The waitress said that the menu says “that groups of 5 or more they charge 20% gratuity.” Which it does not say based off the pictures presented below. -She claimed we were there before when we came from out of town for a work trip, and began to have an attitude. -Says she would not serve us alcohol (looks like the liquor license was taken away). -Argues that we all have to pay on one bill, and claims that it’s on the menu. The picture below shows it doesn’t.

We wanted to support and make the most out of this business trip. Sucks that this was the experience we had for dinner....

I loved Mariana’s kitchen and have come often. I hate the fact that I’m only giving it a 1 star today but the customer experience I had was very awful and was treated very rudely, I won’t be coming back. I had a phone order and there was obviously a misunderstanding. When I apologized about the misunderstanding and tried to fix it, I was talked to in a very condescending and angry way. The worker that took my order proceeded to chastise me with her other coworkers in front of me, which was incredibly rude and very unprofessional . If this is how you handle misunderstandings with customers then I no longer want to spend my money at this place. I have ordered here many times and have gladly supported this local business. This experience has definitely ruined love for...
