Austin Taco Project Reviews

Drew from the bar is awesome. Took great care of us. Always made sure our drinks were cold and refreshed. Highly recommend.

Kylie and Reagan were amazing servers, the food they recommended was spot on, must visit! I am from out of town and just wandered in, so glad I did

Food and atmosphere was great. The service was fast and accurate. The tacos were very filling and you felt full, but not stuffed. I had the Baja shrimp tacos and I had tons of shrimp inside. This is a great space for lunch and happy hour.

Horrible service. Can’t get anything in a timely manner. No food or water. Had to get our own drinks at the bar while seated at a table. Canceled our order. Had to leave. Not like they were busy.

The food is amazing. Some of the best pancakes I've ever had. I'd come here just for the pancakes. Service was great. It was not very busy as we got there early

Drew at the pool bar was awesome, super friendly and great service! Drinks were on point!!!!!!!!!!!!! #BestBartenderEver

We loved Drew at the bar! He made our cloudy pool day and sunny experience ☀️ He also gave a ton of great recommendations for us to enjoy over the weekend.

Drew from the bar was fantastic! Had a blast. Go Brewers We had drinks on both Saturday and Sunday . Hotel is in a great location

So the main restaurant was closed for a remodel. We are in the main lobby of the Hilton. I'm not usually pleased with food inside a hotel but I would have been wrong about this one. Food was fresh and of excellent quality. I got the poke tacos which were amazing. My wife got the chicken bowl, it was massive. You won't go away hungry.

The food was delicious, but the service was horrendous. It took forever to have someone come to the host stand, when they did they sat us in an area reserved for a private party so no servers came to help us. Then someone moved us and we waited again for a long time for a server to assist us. It was painfully slow.

Very good tacos and burritos presented nicely, but wanted a little more “pop” of flavor. Izzi was wonderful and provided excellent service. Great draft beer list.

The entire staff are wonderful - John (Host); Mark (Server); and Joshua (GM.) I ate the breakfast buffet for two days. I arrived both days about 6:15am. I was greeted with a big smile by Mark Griffin, Jr. He was friendly, accommodating, helpful, and professional. The buffet had many options, like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast, daily specials (hot vegetables, special entrees), delicious gluten free options, oatmeal, juices, dairy and non-dairy options, and fruit. They have even more items I didn't list. The second morning I was greeted by John. The GM Josh was out front helping his staff and speaking with customers. I had a great talk with him. (That is what great management does - they jump in and help their staff when needed.) Mark was the absolute best again. Very personable and easy to talk to also. If you are staying at the Hilton or just in Downtown Austin, be sure to visit the restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner! The food, service, and atmosphere are awesome!

Really amazing tacos good service. Great great tacos like some of the best I have ever had. Thought this was a lame taco shop connected to the Hilton but after sitting down and having a beer tres salsas and the brisket tacos I fell in love

We had the best time. Our waiter, James, made our whole night! The food and drinks were so good. We look forward to coming back soon to see James and his extraordinary service.

The restaurant is close to the convention center and fills up quickly. The staff are great and deal effectively with the crowds, they do accept reservations. Lots of options including several vegetarian choices a great option if you are at the convention center.

Food was excellent and my server Sydney was so friendly and really made this experience fantastic! I ordered the Margarita, ATP Queso (Sydney’s recommendation), and the Kickin Chicken Tacos. So yum!!!

In the Hilton Austin this is a funny sort of place. Gets busier at night but went in at lunchtime and was one of about 3 tables. Needless to say service was quick…and attentive - the tacos weee really nice, shrimp was excellent. For a hotel place, and tacos galore anywhere you go, stacked up well.

Alicia took great care of us! We never had to ask for a refill, she was on top of it. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Highly recommendation.

Absolutely will be back. From being greeted as we walked to leaving full and happy. The staff goes above and beyond and the food was delicious We will definitely be back bringing friends.

Wonderful bartender, Drew! We had great experience at the pool bar! Drinks made to our specifications with great hospitality and professionalism!

Nothing to add. All was great. James helps us have a great time . This is definitely a place to invite some other group of friend . Thanks to James. He made it possible.

This spot is great for a good drink and tacos. Service was good as well. Conveniently located in the Hilton so it’s nice not to rely on hotel food

Had the tacos that Ivan recommended and they were delicious! He let us know the chef Kyle had preped the shrimp and I couldn't be happier with them. 10/10, I'll definitely be bringing my friends back here.

Drew was the best! Very friendly conversation. I love how he is actively engages in the guests and goes out of his way to make sure that everybody is having a good time.

Their baja shrimp tacos were pretty good. I’ll have to revisit for the top gold simulator. Sarah was very helpful! Great service.

My experience was great! The service from Kylie and Reagan was above and beyond making our meal amazing. The recommendations were spot on and I would definitely come back! I appreciate my margarita made with fresh lime! It was perfectly made and well balanced and easy to drink!

Drew is an amazing employee. He’s always accommodating to Southwest Airlines cruise great establishment good food and amazing service.

Great food, atmosphere at service. Our waiter Trevor was awesome. The tacos are really good and a great variety. Will definitely come back to this excellent establishment.

Went with a team of volleyball players and called to make a reservation in advance. Dana the host helped get our big group together and accommodated everyone. Sarah did an excellent job even on a busy night and kept tabs with each person. She was the only bartender and definitely needed some help. Food came out quickly (queso was awesome) and tasted great. Everyone loved it.

Food presentation was lovely, but my food was cold. Nothing worse that cold Belgin waffles. The woman sent her food back for the same reason, it was cold. And the gentleman next to her said his was too.

Ivan and RJ are consumate professionals behind the bar, providing a welcoming, helpful ambiance. Shrimp taco was the bomb! Took high score on Time Pilot (free 80s games!!)

I often have business and drive into Austin for the day. I always make it a point to have lunch at Austin Taco Project. Simply, great tacos and service. I highly recommend ATP!

Drew was amazing! His recommendations were spot on. And his service was great! Will return next time. The Austin Taco Project is great.

Austin is a big taco town and I have my favorites, and the Austin Taco Project is one of them. I am usually downtown regularly and was planning on dining at Cannon + Belle, but they were closed so came here instead for lunch. One thing to know is the prices here are a bit higher than other taco places around town, but don’t let that scare you away where the food here is good. They also have a nice bar and games to play. The place was a bit busy and decided to try the Battered Fish. The menu described it is tortilla crusted cod, shredded cabbage, mango salsa, cilantro lime cream and corn tortilla. The fish tacos arrived in pairs and both had a big filet of fish. The batter on the fish was crispy and had a great taste. All the ingredients on it made it perfect. Eat this and will be full for the rest of the day. Austin Taco Project may not be the grab & go taco joint but if you want a place to sit and relax then perhaps a place for you.

Excelllent service beautiful place low key chill place I loved the vibe specially in the afternoon hell yeah legit cruise bro

Great service at the Austin Taco project from Ivan. He's knowledgeable about every drink, and insanely personable! He gives great suggestions if you want to try something new. Will definitely be back to see him!

We came in late to grab some tacos. James the bartender was spot on with the recommendation of carne asada, shrimp, and kickin chicken tacos. They were delicious. Not to mention the cocktails he crafted for us. Next time we are in Austin we will definitely come say hi to James.

Good service. Had to get a coupon from the front desk, but worth it. Dana, the hostess, helped my family find tourist spots and shopping centres in Austin.

Very creative menu, fun environment, great drinks, perfect location to downtown and all other venues in Austin.

A friend recommended this place and I’m so glad I got to try it! The confi pig tacos were so delicious I had to personally let the chef Kyle know how much I loved them- new favorite spot in ATX! He was really nice, as well as the rest of the staff and the atmosphere.

Excellent service and communication. ………friendly great drinks and food…………………………… Drew and Sarah Thank you!!!!!!!

Drew was great. Great food from The taco place and great food. Will definitely be back! Also make sure you get the Baja shrimp and the queso.

Ivan is an incredible bartender. His energy is contagious. He helped us with the food on the menu, and recommended me the best drinks. He was there for us whenever we needed. ……… I was feeling tired, and he offered his famous expresso shots…. D e l i c i o u s.

Popped in for lunch while attending an event downtown and I’m SO glad I did. Austin Taco Project absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was fun and welcoming. Exactly what you want in a downtown Austin spot. Joshua Johnson was the absolute standout of my visit. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that I had a great experience. He made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at all the right times without hovering, and had a great attitude that really added to the overall experience. The tacos were creative, tasty, and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste. If you’re downtown and looking for an easygoing place to grab lunch (or honestly any meal), I highly recommend Austin Taco Project. I’ll definitely be back!

Very GOOD!! The Baja shrimp tacos are excellent!! I wish I could come more often…The staff is very nice and this restaurant is very clean as well.

Great spot for a casual night with a great bartender - went for a week getaway and spent the evening of the last night at the hotel pool bar and drew was the best- definitely go to the pool!!

The food, service, and atmosphere here are excellent. My whole party enjoyed their food. I got.the Carne Asada Taco meal, my son got the Shrimp Tacos. My wife got the Nopales Tacos, and my daughter got chicken. Everything was excellent. Unfortunately, we were all so hungry that we chowed down our meals before we could take photos... Also, I didn't play Pacman.

Drew at the pool bar is all about the hospitality! Drew made recommendations based on our preferences. When we returned Drew remembered our preferences.

Omg! I went to ATP and was only looking for a small snack but after meeting Callan Ream I was convinced to try a multitude of options. So delicious. I’m also very excited to come see his Bat City Comedy club on the 17th. Great guy!

Went here for a quick bite after work and was not disappointed! The bat city burrito was to die for and our server, Crystal, was amazing. Would definitely go here again!

Awesome time & great service from Drew. I’ll be back soon! Dropped in while staying at Hilton Austin on business. Definitely coming back for weekend getaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baja shrimp tacos were amazing, great recommendation from the friendly bartender Drew. The large queso appetizer was the bomb! I will def be coming back!

Vincent was amazing!! The food was great! But I don't like that I had to have a minimum of 100 characters, short and sweet 😂

Drew was great! Friendly, smart, interesting, a good conversationalist. Made some good drinks a d recommended a prefect pre dinner snack! Highly recommend!

Busy, Fun Place!! I sat on the patio, enjoyed the Salsa 3xs and then decided on the Confit Pig Tacos with Cumin dusted Black Beans on the side! Delicious! Go early, there’s no wait:)

Went to the rooftop pool this afternoon to soak up some sun with friends. Great atmosphere and facilities. Our bartender Drew was amazing and very attentive to all the guests. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to have another Drew made margarita:)

The food was good! A little pricey. The server was alright, had to track her down for payment and a refill. The hostess was very friendly and made good conversation while my group waited for food! She wants to go to dental school, which is a very difficult job, so good luck Dana!

Ivan made a delicious mojito service was great!!!! The flavor was good, the service excellent….he was friendly respectful but most important humble person. We really appreciate Hilton Austin to provide this service with excellent people.

We stayed at the Hilton Austin and were hungry when we arrived so we went to this onsite restaurant. They have many taco choices and we tried three different types that were all good. The chips were really delicious as were the salsas and dips. All the servers were great. The margaritas were also very good.

Drew was a chill guy the pool was a lot of fun and it made me feel like I was at a us embassy so I could hide from the fent zombies.

I - I came for tacos & margs V - Very Delicious A - And stayed for shots N - Nom nom nom 10/10 would recommend

Went in for lunch after my flight! The beef taco was seasoned well & the chips and salsa was super tasty!! Our server was the only one in duty at the time. He was very attentive & made great suggestions for everyone to try. After thanking him for his great service, he told us it was his first day!!! Wowwww we never would have known! Thank you XAVIER!!!! You are a rockstar!!!!! Shoutout to Joshua (the manager) for coming out to speak to us!! I will come back the next time I’m in ATX!!!!

Drew @ the poolbar was personable. We will be back. He made great cocktails & knows how to draw in clients. Keep it up,summer experience in Austin.

Nice in-hotel restaurant ! We had the breakfast buffet and it was very good. A nice selection of cold and hot foods. Service was fine…waiters had too many tables to be really attentive! Would recommend this restaurant!

Good food. Very convenient for breakfast if staying at the downtown Hilton. We had the Midas and oatmeal and both were fine. The breakfast buffet looked very good but we were not that hungry so didn’t try it. Service was good.

Great service. Drew took great care of me at the bar! The carne asada tacos were outstanding! The bar atmosphere was great too! Big fan!!

Came here for a quick lunch for takeaway and called in my order ahead. The hostess, Dana, picked up my phone call and remembered my order! I had the ATP Greens with no bacon and no cheese. I added the grilled chicken and it was delicious! When I waited for my order, I could tell it was busy from the AVMA conference, but she was still able to get me water and help other AVMA folks with seating. Thank you for your great customer service!

We had a great breakfast experience at ATP. It was my dad’s last day visiting and we sat for a long time while Trevor, our friendly server, took care of us. Trevor was super helpful in suggesting things to do, and more than willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had a meaningful and enjoyable experience. The food was great too. Thanks Trevor!

Drew at the bar was amazing he made me “say when” drink! The brisket tacos are amazing as well and are delicious! If you come here please ask for drew! Hospitality was just as good! 5 out of 5 stars

Drew from the pool bar is the best! Great conversations! Came for the CS2 event and stopped here for a drink. Would 100% come back!

Went to ATP on a whim while in town and was pleasantly surprised. The food (had the Bat City Burrito) was worth the price and easily two meals worth. Other in my group had the pork tacos and the shrimp tacos. Ivan the bartender had great recommendations and made sure we were set. Introduced us to Chef Kyle, who made sure my compliments were told to the crew. Both were approachable and made sure my group and I had a great meal and drinks. Highly recommend if in the area, and I'd you stay at the hotel it's a no-brainer.

RJ and Ivan the bartenders were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Delicious nopales taco too!

What an amazing time and experience with Drew from the bar. He was extremely accommodating and kept the drinks flowing. Highly recommend. Very worthwhile.

Kailee is a fantastic serve and host, and made our experience as good as it could be. Highly recommended.

Drew at the pool bar was outstanding! We saw him hustling for all the guest and he made our experience amazing! He love what he’s doing

Awesome and great too and nice too. Great servers and services too. Yummy food!! Wait was somewhat okay though with lots.

I would not have guessed there was a full breakfast buffet here. Come hungry! Friendly staff includes local musicians like Ana Zae!!

Great food and great service from Mark. Right across from the Downtown station of the Red Line light rail. In the Hilton. Try it, you'll like it.

Drew at the bar was great! Tacos were also really good. I'm from San Diego and would come here if I lived in Austin. Golf sim here as well!

Umm, this is not a 3 star review, this would be a 5 star review for Drew out at the pool bar here at the Hilton Austin (not sure why TripAdvisor defaulted to a 3 star rating and don’t know how to go back and change to a 5 star). He Not only makes a quality drink, but does a great job with the guests in making suggestions (not only for me but observed him just doing a great job with everyone that approached and interacted with). Bravo Zulu, Drew!

I’m honestly shocked. I ordered breakfast from this place as a room service option at The Hilton Austin. My food was delivered in a box. Not abnormal unless it’s over easy eggs. How exactly does one eat their eggs off the bottom of a cardboard box? The wait staff is incredibly rude as well. I would have loved to tip the guy some cash for bringing to my room, but he threw my bag at me and didn’t even let me get the door all the way open before storming off. That’s after a 15% tip I paid at checkout. Highly do not recommend simply because they’re inconsiderate and rude.

Service was excellent Spencer & Drew we're very friendly & enjoyed the food! I would recommend it to my friends & family!

Friendly service, good drinks, peaceful , clean, good service. Drew was very friendly and made sure we were having a good time and let us our space

Drew from Austn Taco Project was awesome 🤩 great food great service I will be back tonight or tomorrow here for three days A fun very clean restaurant in the Hilton

Sydney, you are amazing and made dinner tonight extra fabulous! The taco recommendations were superb and fulfilled higher than my expectations (is that a thing?) as evidenced by my cleanly licked plate and happy face. Thank you for your amazing service and the chefs in the kitchen nailed it. Boom. Run don't walk to margaritas and tacos at the Austin Taco Project - oh and ask for Sydney she has great energy!!!

We were at the hotel pool and the bartender, Drew went down himself to order our nachos and bring them back up. (Our 2nd day here and Drew clearly ALWAYS goes above and beyond) The nachos were NOT standard pool/bar snacks. They were absolutely delicious with well spiced chicken and hot peppers and real deal guacamole -I generally only like mine-and tons of pico-they were fantastic. We will definitely be getting more food there while we're here!

I first came here in December 2023. Eiw! But I came back in 2025, It appears that it’s not only The ATX Convention Center that is being renovated. Whoa! I was greeted by a distinguished gentleman, by the name of Sean.! Most hosts are on Adderall or catatonic. Not Sean! He was high on people. Although I was wearing designer jeans, and iconic Miley Cyrus Collab sneakers. I did not deserve how amazing the staff was. This place has become fancy! After I humbled myself to walk to the bar, I met a guy named STOCK! I think his name may have been “Josh” but if you’ve ever met a bad Josh like I have you don’t want this guy tarnishing the name! He’s amazing. Also, Vincent is the ultimate server, and easy on the eyes, which always helps while placing a taco order. Ladies! Hike it up and head over.

Drew provided strong, friendly, attentive service and quality food in a timely manner. I would recommend it to anyone at the convention center.

Great spot and service! Would highly recommend visiting Drew from the bar. Top notch bartender. He’s know what you’ll like. Will be back!

I love this place. Food is delicious, Ivan took the time out of his busy night to help me make a decision on the menu. (I ordered way too much food against their suggestion) portions are very generous. I travel quite a bit and when I arrived back at the restaurant after sometime I was greeted with smiling faces and they remembered me. This is why I love Austin and Austin Taco Project. I don’t bother looking around for the best food in Austin. I found a place where I enjoy the service and the food is great. Thank you Ivan and Alex!

Our server, Vinny, was extraordinary! He went above and beyond to provide for us some of the best service ever. He was attentive, friendly, accommodating, and very helpful. My coffee mug was never empty and he shared helpful information about Austin.

We had a great experience here! The Poke Tacos are amazing! Highly recommend. The service was excellent and the restaurant had a great vibe. We did have one little mishap when the chef mixed up the salt and sugar when making our churro doughnuts, but our server, Josh, and his manager, could not have been nicer about it and rectified the situation immediately. We even went back a second time on our trip because we enjoyed the atmosphere, staff, food and drinks so much! You won’t be disappointed!

Ivan was great and super knowledgeable about the tacos! He told us all the hidden gems of the menu. Would recommend the poke.

I sat alone at the bar and had the chicken taco and the pork taco—two of the tastiest tacos I’ve ever eaten. If I lived in Austin I’d eat here a lot. Joshua was excellent company at the bar, with good advice on the menu—after I ate the chicken taco he said “Chicken wing will never taste the same again!” He was right.

Food is what you pay for, to be honest. Backyard Brisket tacos were good! Cheetos were definitely stale on the cheetah corn, but the hostess made up for it. She offered to go back and get a whole new plate for us, but I insisted her service made up for it. She wasn't even supposed to take our order, but she did since she couldn't find us a server. She was very polite and helped my daughter learn about UT Austin and where to tour on campus. If you go to ATP, talk to Dana!!!

Good Spot! I'd like this place a lot it's so good oh my God best tacos in the world I would say OMG!

Josh was great!! Would highly recommend this place! The food and atmosphere were fabulous. Service was done in a timely manner.

Awesome spot. Indoor and outdoor seating with a Topgolf inside. Drew from Hilton poolside bar recommend we check it out and it did not disappoint.

Our server Ivan was amazing! Best service we’ve had at a bar in a long time. His espresso martini shot was incredible. Best we’ve had. Can’t wait to come back and visit soon! Thanks for making our trip better.

Omg the tacos were amazing! Loved the brisket tacos or if you are looking for a seafood option, go with the Baja shrimp! We had a blast with Josh, Sarah, and Drew! They were great! You need to ask for the Lemonade!!!

Great tacos - lots of options. Good beer selection too. Ask for Heather as your server - she was awesome and made some great suggestions. 10/10 would come again.

Great spot! The bartender Drew was fantastic! Would definitely come back!! Drinks were awesome and the conversation was even better!

My husband and I had the best breakfast at the Austin Taco Project inside the Hilton Austin! The buffet was fresh, flavorful, and had something for everyone. We truly enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and great food to start our day. Special thanks to Dana at the host reception — she was so warm, helpful, and genuinely kind. She made us feel right at home. Shout out to Dana and the entire Austin Taco Project team for making our morning so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Sydney is the greatest waitress, she went above and beyond and was so accommodating and awesome! Loved the food!

Joshua was the very most accurate and precise bartender I encountered on our trip to the legendary Austin sixth street. Lots of fun! Overall 9 out of five stars

Sarah was truly a breath of fresh air. I had already had brisket breakfast tacos so Sarah recommended the Bat City Burrito. Was absolutely amazing. Couldnt have asked for a more perfect lunch to get me through to dinner. Ate it so fast didnt even have time to take a picture. Had a wonderful michelada and im from LA so thats saying something! Cant wait to go back before my flight.

Had two meals here using the Hilton diamond credit. Breakfast and a lunch. These were two very different experiences. Lunch Service was fine, attentive and polite. The food was pretty good, very filling. Strangely you couldn’t get a coffee past 11am here due to Starbucks being located in the hotel (bizarre reason). Breakfast This was a really poor experience from the food quality to the service. To start with, the member of staff who seated folk immediacy said that there is a 20 min wait and suggested an alternative place closer. I guess there was a nice intention there but a more apologetic approach would have been useful. The food wasn’t as good as the lunch (eggs not really cooked and açai bowl which was a frozen blob). It took about 15 minutes to order and the server didn’t react overly well when I asked if we could order, as they served people who sat down after us. What needs addressing is the management, and it’s quite basic what can be done to improve the overall running of the place 1. properly staff the restaurant and forecast better with the hotel, looking at occupancy rates / conventions 2. Train the staff to be more multi skilled so there isn’t a single point of failure in the setup (in this case, one server who was struggling). Having one member of staff taking orders whilst the counter host did very, very little. There were also a few folk roaming to pick up rubbish.

It was a typical hotel breakfast/brunch. I didn’t realize it was linked to a hotel. The service was poor and when I made sourdough toast I discovered it was moldy. Not impressed. Don’t waste your time or money.

We were at the pool and Drew’s service was phenomenal. On top of everything and made sure we were well taken care of. Would highly reccomend to anyone.

Only missed out on one due to wasn't quite as good as it looks. I didn't like queso probably due to style of chips. Cheese was a little bland. The hurricane is super strong. Liked Buffalo tacos Breakfast waffles good. Honestly the best part of the whole two meals orange juice ( besides hurricane of course ). Service was top. Bartenders on Saturday 2/4 good and server Sunday morning 2/5 excellent as well

Good times for everyone! We especially liked the golf challenge! Drew made the experience memorable and very fun! We would definitely recommend

People from Mexico city like us are really picky about it and we love it, totally worth it!! Right at the Hilton.

Had an event at 3p, came in around 11:30 to kill some time and Ivan at the bar was AMAZING! So knowledgeable and gave me the low down on all things Austin. Go see him if you visit Austin taco project! Great food, great cocktails, phenomenal conversation.

Great food (brisket tacos were delicious) and Drew (bartender)!super nice and provided great service and banter. Recommend.

food was excellent, even the home made chips were excellent. waitress was a little unpleasant, and no so helpful, no patience to explain things, but food was great and came out fast

On Friday we were downtown and decided to stop at Austin Taco Project. James was a great server! He was very attentive and just overall made it a wonderful experience. I would come again just for the wonderful service.

Came in with a group of friends and it was CHAOTIC. Packed house because I think there was some event happening at convention across street. Sat ourselves at bar and the bar server James was quick to help us. As we were observing the place and staff, He was everywhere! From cleaning tables, taking orders, pouring beers making cocktails and still able to take care of us. He was super efficient and managed to keep a good attitude through it all! We were impressed with his service! food was good too, took a while to come out but James let us know before ordering it may be 20 mins before food comes out due to influx of people which we appreciated. The other male bar server could've helped him more but we still had a good time.

Vincent was great! We were disappointed the buffalo chicken was gone. We suggest it's a marketing issue and renaming it to Pollo Búfalo.

As a Hilton honors diamond member I have very high expectations when I stay at any Hilton property and this restaurant definitely exceeded my expectations. All the staff were very accommodating. The food here is amazing. Sadly I didn’t have my phone while dining so wasn’t able to get any pics so you’ll just have to take my word for it. The salsa portions are huge! The Baja shrimp tacos are to die for. The margaritas are strong (in a good way). Heather and Hope are very knowledgeable and sweet. Thanks for a wonderful lunch.

5 Stars – Amazing Service from Drew at the Pool Bar! We had such a great experience at the Hilton Austin, and a huge part of that was thanks to Drew at the pool bar. He was over the top helpful—not only were the drinks perfectly mixed and refreshing, but he went above and beyond by helping us resolve an issue with our room (which wasn’t even his department!). On top of that, he surprised us with complimentary tacos, which totally made our day. Drew's energy and hospitality really made us feel welcome. Definitely one of the highlights of our stay!

We tried to eat here for dinner. With the restaurant empty, we were told a 40 minute wait…after waiting 10 minutes at the hostess stand with no one in sight. We tried again the following morning. Note:this is where the hotel breakfast buffet is located. We waited again at the hostess stand for 10 minutes. We finally said enough, and went and served ourselves from the buffet and sat down. To then be scolded by the waitress for not waiting at the hostess stand. While we ate, we watched as the hostess belittled a man because he didn’t understand English. Food was awful. Service was terrible. Attitudes were horrendous. Our bill was $31 per person for the buffet. This is absurd and we will not be returning.

Was in town for a conference last week; stayed at the Hilton. Out of convenience we stopped at the Taco Project and are glad we did! Love the atmosphere, food was delicious, and service was outstanding! Sarah was so patient helping us navigate the menu;). We took her advice and had fish tacos and veggie bowl. We will be back!

Drew from the pool bar was amazing! He was attentive and took care of us. He even downloaded the MLB app for us! I highly recommend spending time here!

Everything was amazing! The food, the atmosphere and the “company”. I sat at the bar and had a great conversation with Ivan and Alex. The chicken quesadilla was perfect and you have to try the homemade “mother sauce” hot sauce! I can’t wait to visit again!!

Drew is the best bartender in Austin! Get an Orange ranch water !! He had a lot of suggestions on where to go and was very helpful !!!

I was worried about some of the ingredients (due to allergies) and the chef, Kyle, personally came out to talk to me. He was very knowledgeable and friendly...make me feel comfortable with my choices. The food was great! Will definitely go there again.

Drew from the bar was AMAZING!!! Served me & my partner not only delicious drinks but a beautiful smile and great sense of humor. I’m here grieving a loss and remembrance of a loved one. And I’m so glad I crossed paths with Drew. Come hang with him if you’re feeling blue. Or just wanna be kissed by the sun on Hiltons rooftop pool and bar.

Really great food and service. We were there for a weekend company trip and hosted a happy hour which was great. All the servers were fantastic. Joshua, Sarah, and James did a great job. Many of our staff had lunch and dinner on different days and everyone was extremely happy with the food and staff.

I recently ate there and asked about the ingredients in some of your dishes. I have dietary restrictions. One of the chefs, Kyle, came out and explained everything to me. He was very informative and very willing to make my meal perfect...which he did.

Killer poke tacos Great presentation, balanced flavor Guacamole is good and service was awesome Sweet potato and goat cheese cheesecake may bey next adventure

Ivan and Alex were amazing bartenders/servers! I highly recommend coming here, amazing food and service. Top notch. 🙌🏼

Went up to the pool bar, waiting for our flight out and Drew the bartender gave us a great service constantly making sure that we were in Missing anything!

Drew was amazing! He was polite and recommended the perfect drinks! Had a wonderful time here and relaxing. Drew was accommodating at a 5 star service!

Highly skilled, creative mind, friendly personality & simply, an amazing individual! Come see Ivan at the Hilton-Austin Tacos & Tap…hang out & make a fiend.

Wow this is not your regular taco place. Absolutely delicious and the service was perfect. We had Mark as our server and he is fantastic, very personable cared about what you ordered and can't say enough good things about him or this place. Portions are very generous and we actually took some home. Will continue to come back. The other great thing about this is it is next to the Metro Rail so you can get on at a station and it stops right at the Hilton Hotel which is where the Taco Project is located.

Awesome rooftop pool bar, bartender was super helpful and gave us a bunch of tips on what to see while we are in Austin. This pool area is the highlight of the hotel for me. Thanks again Drew amd keep up the great.

Drew at the pool….. the BEST bartender!!! I’ll be back, for sure!! The heat was on in Austin and Drew took care of everyone enjoying the rooftop pool!!!

Any time I go anywhere near Downtown Austin I stop at ATP. This place rules! Manager Josh always goes above and beyond to make our experience special. The food is always fantastic, vibes are high, the staff is always friendly and their drinks are always perfect.

Alex our service/ bartender was the worst server in the world. He was so rude from the beginning. Guess he didn’t feel the need to give decent service because of gratuity

Great spot inside of the hotel. We ate at Cannon and Bell had a horrible experience the next day decided to try so we had lunch at the taco project. The host who greeted us and took our to go order, was so friendly and on point we went there the next two days of our stay. She remembered us even when she had line out the door as well as our order preferences (our discuss for onions) and suggested we remove it from the items we were getting the next day. Making our whole experience great and delicious. Thank you, Sami for the exceptional customer service, and changing our experience in a positive way about Hilton restaurants. Hope to see you there next time we visit

Ivan made the most incredible drink I had on my trip to Austin! Best drink I had in Austin hands down! Ask for Ivan and the strawberry Tito’s mule!

Over all bad service. Took a long time to get seated, waiter only checked on us to take food order and pay bill. Food was not great and my apetizer came at the same time as my food, which I did not ike. Food was over priced, avocado dip we only got 4 chips surrounded by vegetables, if I am ordering avocado dip I want chips to go with it not vegetables ....this is a taco restaurant to a vegan restaurant. Portions were small and over priced.. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING

We had an amazing experience with Ivan and Alex at Taco Project! Best margs and tacos in town! Can’t wait to come back!

This place was so great. I loved the decor of the place so colorful and fun. Crystal was our server and she was amazing. Loved the service and I really loved the food. I tried the smooth operator drink and it was delicious had to order two.

After a great check-in, it was too early to hit the streets so we went the bar at the pool. Wow. The best custom cocktails are just a request away with Sir Drew. Great stories, great mix, great atmosphere.

Food was excellent. If you get the queso, it is almost a meal with taco meat and avocado in the cheese. The tacos are big. I loved the poke tacos.

I flew in from Korea for a business trip and found myself at Austin Taco Project - I’m happy I did. I sat at the bar where I was greeted by Ivan who was more than willing to give out his recommendations on the menu and drinks as well as provide some good conversation. I ordered the confit pig tacos with the 3 salsa side. I was not disappointed. The chef, Kyle, came out and explained each dish and how it was made (especially the fantastic Salsa Quemada!). Thank you to Ivan and Kyle for the great food, great drinks, and great conversation. This is a must visit if you’re in the area!

enjoyed the food at austin taco project. food came out fast. the tajita was amazing and my server crystal was really friendly. good place to visit.

Drew at the outdoor bar was amazing. Bar was closed but he went out of his way to go downstairs and get me a drink and food. What great service and he loves his job. This alone makes me want to only stay here when in town.

Delicious food and great service! Sarah and Drew were incredible- they were attentive and helpful, answering questions about the menu and making sure I had everything I need. Highly recommend!

James helped to make the experience exceptional. He was knowledgeable about the menu and suggested not just great meals but also drinks. Food was a nice portion and filling, while the atmosphere provided a great feel.

Visited Austin and stopped here for dinner, we loved it. Great food, good music, and our server Sarah was awesome! Definitely recommend the shrimp tacos. Would visit again!

Enjoyed poke tacos and drinks! Poke was fresh and delicious. Drinks were great, especially the espresso martini shot that Ivan made. It was a great sweet drink to end the meal. Thanks so much, Ivan.

Drew at the bar was so great! Helped us out and made some great suggestions for drinks and local spots to try. We had a round of Ranch Waters and amazing house-made Chips and Queso.

Brioche French toast was amazing. Had it twice during my visit to Austin. Server was not very attentive on my 2nd dining experience but the food was great

The food was very good. The Carne Asada was on the salty side. The fish taco was excellent as well as the salad. Unfortunately, the restaurant was obviously under staffed as we waited a half hour for our food and I asked our server twice for ice and a water refill but didn't get it.

Rarely do I choose to eat at a hotel restaurant. I was sure pleased that I made an exception in the case of Austin Taco Project. This restaurant was conveniently located (in the Hilton I was staying at); the service was great (ask to sit in Heather's section); the food hit the spot (the Confit Pig tacos); and last but not least the drink menu was superb (Espadin Flight of mezcal). Austin Taco Project is a one stop shop of a restaurant, providing amazing service and delicious food and drink--all in the convenience of your hotel.

What more can I say. Best espresso martini I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a FEW. Ivan brought so much joy to our table. Thank you Ivan for a great experience 🍾

We had such a great time at the Austin Taco Project inside the Hilton! The buffet was absolutely delicious — every bite delicious and fresh ingredients and fruit. We also had a blast playing in the Top Golf Swing Suite, which was such a fun and unexpected bonus to our morning. Huge shoutout to Dana at the host reception — she made our experience extra special! Dana was incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Her positive energy set the tone for the whole morning. Thanks again to Dana and the entire team at Austin Taco Project. We’ll definitely be back!

If you are anywhere near Austin, GO TO THIS PLACE. It’s on our go again (and again) list. Great vibe and super staff make it a fun spot. The food and drinks put it over the top. Manager Josh is a great host and it’s pretty obvious from the people we met who come there as regulars that he’s got great people. Go. You won’t be disappointed.

RJ and Ivan were great! Very personable and tentative! Legitimately probably one of the best service I had at a restaurant!!

Gift waited on my wife and me. She was very personable young lady and an excellent waitress. Food was promptly delivered and it was a great meal. Gift was kind, attentive and well spoken!

ALICIA was our waitress and a party of six my family was treated with kindness and efficiency in drinks, appetizers, and then our entries. She was kindly, thoughtful and attentive. Thank you for a memorable time with my family at spring Break on the train ride to Austin. And the birds behaved as well.

This place is amazing!! We had breakfast here yesterday and back today! The food is fabulous and the service is outstanding! Vinnie served us with excellence!

Drew from the pool bar was a great bartender! Great cocktails and conversation. Highly recommend checking out the bar here.
