I wanted to love this place but it just didn't meet our expectations, especially with the price tag. I gave it a 4 because I'm not as critical as my husband who probably would have given it a 2. My husband and I had our reservation at 5:30 on a Friday evening in early January on their beautiful warm quiet porch, but we arrived 13 minutes late (our fault, and I'm grateful they have that generous policy). I apologized and the hostess said "well we have a 15 minute late policy, but that's okay this time". Slightly rude I thought, but also we weren't quite at the 15 minute mark yet ...? Then we're seated and our waiter comes over and happily says "Welcome, Mrs. Lindley!" looking directly at me, and starts talking to me without acknowledging my husband sitting right next to me the whole time. We thought that was rather odd. The rest of the evening he seemed just a bit odd with anything to do with my husband, but perhaps we were reading into things after the first little incident. The chips, red salsa, and green avocado salsa with thick tortilla chips were delicious, queso fundido was fine, and the first margarita I ordered was pretty good. The second margarita was so strong, I had a hard time finishing it, I felt like I was drinking straight liquor. So much for consistent pouring. For our meals we got the lobster quesadilla and al pastor lambchops (I believe?). They were good-ish but I think the fajitas might be a better choice. Nothing outstanding in my opinion. Then they charge you some sort of employee wellness surcharge (3-4%)? On top of tax and tip? My husband did NOT like that... why are WE paying that fee and what is it? So unfortunately that left us with a sour taste in our mouth. Cool atmosphere, nice views of the Austin Central Library area, but not so great food/drinks or customer service.

Friends and I showed up(some of us had already had food at an earlier bday reservation) around 5:30 and originally were denied a table by the hostesses. Over 1/2 the restaurant was empty and all the manager was able to do is sit us and serve us food in to-go containers until 6 because there was a supposed reservation. Our server Emily was indifferent, bartenders and everyone kept staring at us as if we were from another planet. We got given the check right at 6:00 pm and were denied a second round of drinks. The restaurant was not busy at all and we were given the poorest quality of service. When we requested our check, they said they could not split checks so one person ended up paying everything and overspending because they don't have the program needed to split checks. They also charge their customers for their staff healthcare instead of owners of business paying for it. Never going back!!

Everything about this Mexican Restaurant piques the senses! The interior design is fresh and inviting, the aromas of sizzling carnes makes you instantly crave the flavors! Proper glasses for a deletable handcrafted margarita (never a mix), proper homemade tortillas (served deliciously warm) keeps me coming back again and again! It is on the pricey side but so worth it! Service always on point and inviting. Parking: I use the valet at The Proper Hotel

This is without a doubt, my favorite restaurant to come to for special occasions. My boyfriend and I come each year for Valentines Day and my birthday. The patio is our favorite place to sit because the views and atmosphere are so lovely. the chips and salsa are heavenly, I love how thick and crispy the chips are. Our favorite dishes are the chicken fajitas (which are big enough to share) and the lobster quesadilla, both of which are mouth watering! We have had the steak fajitas and the bacon wrapped shrimp as well which we enjoy. Don’t forget about the churros!! My favorite dessert! It is a lot of food for both of us, but everything taste so amazing that we finish it all!

La Piscina is an amazing dining experience located in the Austin Proper hotel. The restaurant offers nice downtown views and a great (albeit small) patio. The nachos were well worth the stomach space. The chunky avocado green salsa was delicious. The chicken fajitas (with added vegetable skewer for my vegetarian spouse) were absolutely incredible. The best fajitas I’ve ever had. Excellent cocktails and service. Check this place out next time you need something special (but not extravagantly special).

One of the best places in Austin for Mexican food with truly amazing fajitas. Sitting on the 5th floor of the Austin Proper, La Piscina has amazing sunset views to accompany its more modern take on Tex-Mex. The Fajitas come out sizzling with the cheese directly on the skillet for that delicious crispy cheese crust. The drinks are a 10/10. Perfect place for a fancy date night or a nice group dinner with friends!

The food is fantastic. The service average and the ambiance terrible. Loud. Forget going here if you want to carry on a conversation unless you can sit outside.
