The Iron Cactus in Austin, Texas has been rated as the 6th best tequila bar in the country. Having visited over the weekend (my wife and I love Mexican food and made a special trip to Austin for our anniversary) I can honestly say that I think it should be a little higher than 6th. The range and quality of tequila served in the rooftop bar (great atmosphere up there, and almost worth the trip alone. Certainly we’d be going there for drinks regularly if we lived closer) is mind blowing. And it’s reasonable too: a simple Margarita weighs in at just $4.

The dining area is full of people who must have heard this Mexican restaurant’s excellent reputation, and we had a short wait before being show to our table. The Mexican food on offer here was definitely worth the short wait, however.

I had heard great things about the fish tacos and tortilla soup, so that is what I ordered. The reviews didn’t do it justice! My wife enjoyed her dishes, too.

This is a great Mexican restaurant with great food, fantastic drinks, and very friendly and helpful staff. Credit to the team there: we had a fantastic time.
