Our Story

We’ve been around the block a few times — and every chapter has been shaped by flavor, community, and good company. Austin Grill started as a neighborhood spot built on real hospitality and made-from-scratch Tex-Mex. The kind of place where the salsa is bright, the tortillas are warm, and everyone feels right at home.

Our food brings those two worlds together: bold, soulful Tex-Mex with the warmth and welcome of a true neighborhood joint. For decades, we’ve served tables full of families, friends, regulars, and folks just passing through.
If you’ve shared a meal with us before — welcome back. If you haven’t yet — we can’t wait to meet you.

Food that Brings People Together

Everything we serve starts in our kitchen — chopped, simmered, stirred, and seasoned with intention. Bright flavors. Shared plates. Comfort with a kick. Whether you’re here for margaritas with your crew or quesadillas with the kids, we’re here to make it memorable.
