Belated Anniversary weekend - this was our second time dining at Canje. It was absolutely delicious. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. There was not one bite that did not please the palate. Yum! Yum! Yum!

First time in Austin and first meal in and it was an amazing meal to start to our trip. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Accommodating outside even with not the best weather.

Amazing from start to finish. Super personable and helpful waitstaff who helped us figure out the menu and must-have items. Vibe was lively but also intimate. Every dish was the best version of that I’ve ever had. Tuna Tiridito was crunchy and creamy. Fish tacos light and fresh. Zarandeado was a knockout - smoky. Guava cheesecake was rich, but with a good textural balance with the candied pepitas. Can’t wait to come back

Excellent food and atmosphere. It was lively, if not a little loud. We had four items, including the ceviche, brisket tacos, flautas, and sweet potatoes. I would recommend all. They were all super flavorful. The balance of potatoes and duck in the flautas was a little off (too much potato) which made it a little bland, but the mole sauce hit the mark and helped round out the flavor. We would definitely return and try other items.

We had not been back to Red Ash since before the Pandemic. Shame on us! Now we certainly will make a new reservation as soon as possible, which will probably be a few months from now. Red Ash is so popular that it is that difficult to get a table. But the wait is certainly worth it. This evening we tried the Octopus a la Plancha at our server, Emma's suggestion. Octopus for our first time. It was wonderfully delicious and tender. For dinner we split Frutti di Mare, a wonderful selection of seafood laid on a bed of the best black and white sphagettini. Cooked perfectly! Emma was the perfect hostess and we were able to reconnect with Brand Favata, our favorite server from six years ago. It seems that very few few employees leave Red Ash. It is such a wonderful restaurant!! We'll be back very soon.
