- DDonnaAustin •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoMa’Coco – A Flavorful Mexican Escape in Downtown Buda Located just across from the train tracks in Downtown Buda, Ma’Coco serves up vibrant Mexican cuisine in a lively, energetic setting. The ambiance is fun and upbeat, though be prepared for some background noise—the music can be a bit loud, making it challenging to carry on conversation, especially when the train passes by (though it goes by quickly). We started with the salsa sampler, which included thick, crunchy tortilla chips. The standout here was definitely the tomatillo salsa, which had a perfect balance of tang and heat. The Elote appetizer was another highlight, with two perfectly grilled pieces of corn that packed a punch of flavor. For our main dishes, we tried the California burrito and surf and turf quesadillas. My husband loved the California burrito—so much so that it was impossible for him to finish this massive, flavorful meal. As for my quesadillas, the asada was perfectly seasoned, offering a deliciously rich flavor in every bite. Service at Ma’Coco was excellent. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, striking the perfect balance in ensuring we had everything we needed, but also giving us space to enjoy our meal. Though the music and occasional train noise were a little distracting, the food and service more than made up for it. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious offerings!More infoMa'Coco - BudaPrice: Moderate• Mexican / Southwestern• Buda•4.6
