A legendary Austin institution since 1975, Fonda San Miguel serves interior Mexican cuisine — not Tex-Mex — in a stunning hacienda-style space filled with folk art and murals. The Sunday brunch buffet is one of the city's great traditions, and the mole negro and cochinita pibil are standout dishes. It feels like a special occasion even on a Tuesday, and the margaritas are serious.
