What a cute little place tucked away in east Austin. It overlooks the golf course so the views are expansive and gorgeous. They have a nice patio to sit out on when the weather is nice.When you step inside it's a really nondescript cantina, almost like a small canteen but when you try the food, you'll see why this is a must-add to your list of taco places in the city!The tacos are hearty, bursting with flavor and veryyyy affordable. A great spot to get some good food and yap with friends! The staff is super nice, friendly and attentive, 11/10 would go again!

It was our first time here and we were so impressed with everything! The food, drinks, atmosphere & service were all great! We tried a few different margaritas on the menu - all of them were great! The chips and queso were my favorite part, the queso is a little spicy which I love, but if you don't like spice you might not like it. The quesadillas, tacos, rice and beans were all great as well! It's a super cute place with lots of seating options, we didn't golf but it was fun to people watch while we ate! I would definitely recommend for a fun outing with friends!

Okay, I have been meaning to write a review for this place for a while. And Ali(sp?) service made me finally commit to it. Look into the history of the place. It is interesting to say the least. When I first moved into the neighborhood and saw that there was a taco place at a golf club I was uncertain about trying this place out. HoweverThe tacos are incredible! Love the fish, love the steak and love the chicken. They know what they are doing! The cocktails are incredible. The price is inexpensive. The patio area, especially around sunset, is gorgeous. And again, this staff. Really, you can tell that the managers and owners place a lot of importance on their staff/customer interactions. I haven't learned too many of the staff members' names but I do know that Ali does a great job. Do not sleep on this place. The locals know. Great tacos, and great drinks.

Pretty good! Nice spot to grab some food at the turn. I can't say I've experienced attentive staff, they're always a little more preoccupied with their personal conversations or their phones but the food is alright. The premade sandwiches aren't bad! Family friendly environment, good seating options inside and outside.

Really no complaints here y'all! Their tacos are expertly prepared. The breakfast tacos are some of my wife and my favorite in town. The drip coffee is tasty as well, sourcing their beans from the local Barrett's coffee roasters.The space is super casual but the patio is the game-changer. Grab your food and drink and go enjoy the view and vibes.When you are there for dinner, the hot sauces and margaritas are fantastic!

Generous servings of Austin Sunday brunch staples - Chips and various dips, tacos, loaded waffle fries! Beautiful view of the golf course from the cantina. Limited selection of cocktails and alcoholic beverages, counter service - fuss free and simple. Dog friendly outdoor patio and a great spot to chill on Sunday Funday

Great service and food! I am glad I only got one taco because it was very filling. Sitting on the patio for a Saturday afternoon was perfect!

There's nothing more refreshing than an ice, cold, frozen margarita from fairways Cantina. My boyfriend and I went to their happy hour, and decided to cool off on a hot day with some margs.they have a variety of margaritas and cocktails, which can all be tried during their happy hours. But today I decided to try their mango Rita, which came with a tajín or salt rim. of course i went with the tajín.The margaritas were nicely strong with a good, sweet taste. One of my pet peeves with margaritas are, when they're overly sweet and you can taste the bitterness of the tequila or vodka, but that was not the case with the fairway cantinas margaritas. It was a perfectly balanced marg. We ended up having way too many of the same margarita that we didn't get to try the other ones, but I will definitely need to come back to trade the rest of their drinks and food.The fairways Cantina restaurant is located on a golf course, which has a beautiful little patio area where you can watch people golf. Enjoy the beautiful Austin east area and just relax. Although it was very hot when I went, being in the shade, getting a little bit of the breeze and the cold, marg just made the day a whole lot better.So if you wanna just people watch and drink, I definitely recommend it.

Try this place next time you are in the Mueller area! Came back after discovering this Cafe was open to the public not just golfers, and it's delicious. Highlights include- the faraway salsa (it's made in house and a new favorite of ours), the shooter McGavin taco, and the pink panther cocktail. Other great options- the fried fish taco was solid, the quesadilla with a side of queso to dip is delicious, and really all their cocktails are great. They also have can beer, cider and white claw for $6 or can wine. I was told that you can buy a can and take it with you while golfing.The setting is lovely on a nice day. Shaded porch or indoor seating, and It's fun watching others playing golf while enjoying tacos and cocktails. Very relaxing, I think this is a new go-to for us!
