Guero's is in a cool old building, right on Congress in a very interesting part of Austin. The food is ok, about a C+ compared to other Austin places. (Note to people from California, Arizona and New Mexico, Tex-Mex is definitely on the bland side, you will not be impressed by any ""Mexican"" restaurant in Austin. Even the Queso they swear by is about as hot as taco bell)
Guero's is a perfect place to get a patio table, have a few margaritas, eat some queso, and watch the people and cars on Congress.
A somewhat downside, it seems Guero's gets it's crew from the same place as Thundercloud. I like an eccentric crew as much as anyone, but it's not cool when your waiter looks like he hangs out under I-35, and can't remember a beer order for longer than 38 seconds.
Pros: Atmosphere is Awesome
Cons: Stoner Burnout Wait-staff
