    The Brunch at La Piscina is very good. We love going there. The food is very high quality. The staff is friendly, efficient, and attentive. Although the menu has added a number of items for brunch, we chose the Brunch Fajita which we like very much. The Brunch Fajita includes eggs, usually sunny-side up but we prefer scrambled, beef or chicken, peppers & onions, breakfast potatoes and a roasted jalepeno pepper served on an iron skillet with corn or flour tortillas. It is enough food for both of us. The venue is pretty and airy.

    The device was agonizingly slow, aggravated by the number of people standing and walking around doing nothing. We sat at a cleared table forever waiting for the bill. No one could hear anyone.

    My wife and I came here for Thanksgiving dinner, and it was an amazing experience. The grilled turkey fajitas were absolutely delicious—the turkey had such a rich, flavorful taste. The service was excellent, and everything overall was great. The only downside was the noise level, which was understandably high due to how packed the restaurant was and the festive atmosphere. This was my first stop in Austin, and I couldn’t have made a better choice!

    We shared the ribeye fajitas, and they were absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender. The cocktails were a solid 10/10, crafted to perfection and so enjoyable. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!
