Located on the 5th floor of the Austin Proper Hotel, La Piscina Ceviches & Fajitas is a convivial poolside restaurant and bar serving Texas-inspired Mexican cuisine. The vibrant, open space overlooks the downtown Austin bustle as groups convene over family-style platters, ceviches and table-top sizzling fajitas, with fresh seafood grilled over a wood fire and house-made tortillas from an open comal. The bar provides an accompanying selection of frozen margaritas, native Mexican spirits, small-batch tequila and mezcal as well as an assortment of outdoor-friendly snacks.

    Pleasantly surprised with how delicious the steak fajitas were! We went there for a light bite since we were staying at the Proper. Everyone around us was ordering fajitas so we said we had to too ;) We couldn’t help ourselves and ended up eating the whole thing because it was so tender and yummy. 😋

    This is one of my favorite spots in ATX. The fish tacos are amazing, and the snapper al pastor!!!! Their chips and salsa are also amazing. They have great cocktails. The place is modern and beautiful it reminds me of the Yucatán. Next time we sit by the windows I’ll ask them to lower the shades, the sun was a bit strong. Wonderful service and great food!

    The Brunch at La Piscina is very good. We love going there. The food is very high quality. The staff is friendly, efficient, and attentive. Although the menu has added a number of items for brunch, we chose the Brunch Fajita which we like very much. The Brunch Fajita includes eggs, usually sunny-side up but we prefer scrambled, beef or chicken, peppers & onions, breakfast potatoes and a roasted jalepeno pepper served on an iron skillet with corn or flour tortillas. It is enough food for both of us. The venue is pretty and airy.

    This was the best Mexican restaurant of my life! We loved it so much that we cancelled our steakhouse reservations the next night to come back to La Piscina! We were only in Austin 2 nights and ate there twice! It was that good. Trust me!
