3. Great margaritas and enchilada plates
   This is a good place to come after work when I am needing my mexican food fix. My favorite here is the chicken enchiladas (2) with tomatillo sauce and I always ask for the charro beans, which I think are the best I have had in Austin. For 7.99 in the evening in central Austin, that is a bargain, and I leave stuffed. I like their salsa, too. I have found that if a place has good salsa and good...

4. Read the review online - and saw the high star rating. What a mistake.
   My fiancee and I go onto Austin City Search to find great reco's for Friday night dinners or Saturday evening lunch. We were both in the mood for some good mexican food and ran across the recommendation saying Jorge's is in the top 3 places to eat mexican food in Austin. Well it wasn't today. We both were extremely disapointed with the food quality and quantity. Both of us got the Jorge Combo...

5. Great Mexican Martinis!
   I generally go on a Thursday for the discounted Mexican Martinis, which are great! The drinks are always good, the service is very quick, and the food is fresh and inexpensive. For a casual, cheap, relaxing meal - I definitely recommend Jorge's. So many Austin Mexican restaurants are hard to get into without a long wait and even then you feel like your server is juggling a million things at once ...

6. Yum!
   I really like Jorges. The food is super yummy and decently priced. My favorite thing is the colorful decorations and overall atmosphere. It's a funplace to go! Their Margaritas are great and on Thursdays they have half price Mexican martinis. Nice bathrooms too....

7. WAAAYYY TO EXPENSIVE FOR THE QUALITY...I would rather have had Jack n the Box tacos @ 2 for $.99!!!
   I read some of the other reviews prior, but decided to give it a try anyway - YES it's too expensive for the type & quality of the food; however I don't mind the price IF the food is good. I had the barbarcoa (?) tacos & could barely swallow the one bite! Now, I may have made a mistake with this choice, BUT I do expect a good waiter/place to notice a completely uneaten plate and make an inquiry...

8. Talk about pricey!!!
   Ok, native Austinite that grew up with the original. The new owners keep jacking up the prices. This is tex-mex people. 12.99 for a salad aint gonna fly. There is better, cheaper t-mex around the area. LOWER YOUR PRICES JORGES!

10. Great food, prices, and margaritas
    I tried Castillo Jorges a few years ago and was disappointed with both food and service. Recently though, I moved to the neighborhood and decided to re-try it in search of great tex mex. I coulnd't have been more pleasantly surprised. First, the margaritas. Excellent. *Very* potent. Be careful too, the frozen have an extra dash of tequila, so they are even more intense than the rocks. This is ...

11. Killer Margaritas
    This is the place to go in Austin for super strong and tasty Margaritas. The food is par for the course when it comes to Austin Tex-Mex: It's very good, but not phenenomenal, and not the reason to come here. The Margaritas are. There's also a crazy waitress here who is always dropping plates (after they have been used by customers-- not people's meals). This provides some good comic relief w...

12. Best Margs around
    Have been going here once a week for months now. Obviously I've enjoyed it. Marg's are great, and have really aggressive HH specials which scale based on the hour. 5-6pm is the best. great patio. I mostly enjoy the true TexMex items here, as some of the meat dishes I've had here include meat that's not as 'lean as I'd like it". The El Gringo burritos are great, and make sure you have an ava...

13. Great Tex-Mex
    I'm probably here almost every Friday. Great food, EXCELLENT margaritas (you only need 2!). For vegetarians, I highly recommend the guacamole tacos!

14. Unique Recipes and Awesome Ambiance
    This Tex-Mex restaurant, with a spacious patio and inside dining area, uses unique recipes obtained from two regions in Texas the Permian Basin and Panhandle. From the Chili con Queso, to the enchiladas with two eggs on top, to their pumpkin flan -- the customer service and experience was incredible. They are open for Sunday Brunch using a different menu that amazed me and my family.

15. Austin's Best Tex-Mex
    Most important, the food is GREAT! By far my favorite Tex-Mex in Austin. We had burritos, enchaladas, and queso, and it was all very good. The margaritas were very tasty (and pretty strong too)! Throw in some good happy hour specials and super friendly service, you have to check this place out. I'll be back for sure.

16. Former Midlander
    As a student of UT and coming from Midland it is great to have a familiar taste around. I have been going to Jorges for years and I have never had a bad meal. The food is great and so is the atmosphere!

17. Gem of Austin
    You haven't had Tex-Mex in Austin until you go to Jorge's. The freshest and tastiest in this area. Enchiladas the way they are supposed to be made and tortillas made by hand per order. Margritas are so tasty and smooth you don't realize thier potency until you stand up! Definately a true gem!!

18. Be careful ;-)
    Best margaritas in town - bar none! Patron Silver in their "house" margaritas. They don't skimp on anything here. Be careful because these bad boys will sneak up on you in a hurry, two is about all you'll need for the night. Also try the nachos. They are excellent as well.

19. User review by smithme
    Cheese Enchiladas are fantastic- they are served stacked style- first the beans, then the enchiladas and then covered in queso. sooo good. Great happy hour specials, too!

20. Ex-Midlander
    MIDLANDERS---ODESSANS---AMARILLOANS --------ATTENTION!!!------------ The Austin Jorge's is now owned and operated by the same owners of the Tacos Garcia in Amarillo and Jorge's Cafe in Midland and Odessa. If you miss your favorite Tex-Mex and fab Margaritas, this is a definite "must-visit". The food rocks! You haven't had Tex-Mex like this in Austin.
