First parking is touch tight. 2nd Food is worth the parking agony. The Straight Plate Beef Enchiladas with over easy fried eggs is Straight Tex Mex at its best. The salsa requires a glass of water or Margarita nearby. The service hustled in a small popular place with attentive listening skills.

I'd heard great things about Maudie's, but I can comfortably say I wouldn't go back. Although the service was incredible, the food was just not good enough to warrant a cleaned plate, let alone a return. The restaurant itself is quaint with fewer tables than I expected, but they have a great patio overlooking south Lamar close enough to see downtown. Unfortunately would not go back.

I was in Austin for SXSW and Maudie's Too came highly recommended by a former local, so I hopped a Lyft to have lunch. It totally wasn't worth the hassle and expense. I was hoping for tasty Tex-Mex since I was in Texas, but this place disappointed me in every way imaginable. The "dive bar" vibe is casual and comfortable, with a good-sized outdoor patio. We sat inside since it was a nice day and the patio was packed. This isn't a fancy atmosphere, and usually that's a sign of killer good food. The food here, though, is just okay. I'd more accurately call it "mediocre." We ordered queso and chips, chicken fajitas, enchiladas, and a margarita. Nothing was anything to write home about, and it was standard-issue fare. The fajitas looked like they came out of a bag, and the veggies didn't have that nice caramelized texture. The biggest travesty of all: the tortillas are not homemade. The black beans were disappointing, as was the queso (looked like something I could've made at home with a package of Velveeta). The enchiladas were the best thing about the meal. If you're seeking authentic style food with tons of spice and flavor, you're going to be disappointed in Maudie's Too. Even the margarita was forgettable. This wasn't the worst place I ate in Austin, but it's not somewhere I'd return.And yeah, the bathrooms are DISGUSTING and DIRTY.

I received great, accommodating service here. I arrived before a rush of people. My meal hadn't arrived and I was ordering dessert. So I was at the table a while. I was feeling pressure from myself to speed up due to the number of people waiting, so I apologized to my server. She very kindly and *genuinely* told me that there was no reason to rush, I should enjoy my meal. No pressure for me to move along to free the table. My quesadilla was delicious! The chicken was cooked just right, and the cheese melted completely. There was a great deal of pico on the side provided as well. My sopapillas were fried perfectly and bigger than I anticipated! A very delicious way to end my meal.Finally, a chip and salsa comment--we all know we judge places on the quality of these! The chips were crunchy and non-greasy, and the salsa had a good burn to it.I highly recommend this restaurant!

Fits the bill for casual Tex Mex that his hearty, filling, quick and affordable. When you sit down chips and salsa are on the table before you can even ask - and they are much appreciated! Salsa has a great kick to it - and chips are perfectly cooked and crunchy. As you might expect, the menu has every variation of enchilada, quesadilla, etc. We ordered the beef fajita and the shrimp and fish tacos. All satisfied any craving for Tex Mex cuisine. Portions of meat, shrimp, and everything else do not skimp.

Maudies is an Austin is a historical Austin staple that everyone seems to love but unfortunately, I'm not the biggest fan. The service is good and they have a decent happy hour but I just can't get behind their food and it might just be due to the fact that I don't love their version of Tex Mex. I've been multiple times and everyone else seems to love it. I'd recommend trying it out and deciding for yourself! My view comes as a vegetarian so I'm sure their fish + meat dishes are amazing but I can't vouch for them

Short wait for a table, but WELL WORTH IT! Casual vibe, but there were people that got dressed up--assuming they were hitting downtown after, cuz this place is totally casual. They had 1 TV above the bar that sat in the corner of the restaurant.Everything was amazing. The salsa they brought out when we sat down was so good but definitely on the spicy side (i didnt mind, but proceed with caution!). The queso was literally the best i've ever tried. I had soft chicken tacos for my entree and omg.. again.. the best i've ever had. They were much larger than i was used to from the northeast, so i had plenty left over to take to go.Everything was top notch and reasonably priced. GO HERE. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

6 hungry, handsome, charming young men were on the prowl for some authentic Mexican cuisine after a week long camping trip. In the small but cozy town of Austin, Texas these daring Texas travelers stumbled upon Maudie's, unknowingly about to have the slappiest, mouth-watering Mexican food in all of Central Texas.Immediately greeted with a smile by Swole Collin, the staff and service had these five young men feelin sum typa-way. After devouring authentic Mexican food ranging from bussin brunch food to bitchin tacos, these young men left feeling orgasmic and satisfied. Giving a generous tip to reflect the excellent service, they left as mysteriously as they came. Their only critique was that the staff was too hardworking and the food was a little too good. Swole Collin said everything was good, and damn good it was.

I don't know why I expected this place to be authentic or of quality.The salsa provided with the complimentary chips is always a dead giveaway for what you're about to receive, and this salsa was basically tomato sauce out of a can. No miscellaneous chunks of tomato, onion, cilantro, or peppers, just tomato sauceThe prices seemed honest, but once I received my meal I realized why they were suspiciously lower than expected.I ordered the "Mexican Special", which comes with a "crunchy beef taco" and "guacamole salad". The beef taco was just plain ground beef in a plain taco, nothing else, and the guacamole salad was basically a dollop of guac out of an ice cream scoop with some shredded lettuce and chunks of tomato on top.The rest of the meal was two enchiladas with plain refried beans and plain rice, which wasn't bad, but it's kinda hard to mess something up when it's completely drenched in cheese.The service was fine, we were constantly checked on, I don't have any complaints there. They were nice and made sure we had everything we needed.The ambiance on the other hand was subpar. The main room is way too small for the amount of tables they have shoved in there, and it felt like a constant battle to yell louder than the table next to you just to hear your own party.Overall I'm hesitant to say it was overpriced, but it was definitely not of the quality I was hoping for. I would have liked more care to be put into spices and seasonings to give the food more flavor. I don't have experience with the financial logistics of running a restaurant, but I've definitely had tastier and more satisfying dishes for the same price I paid for this meal, so I know there's room for improvement in some capacity.
