- JJeniVIPAustin •23 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoMy husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our brunch. We ordered the Brussels Sprouts, which were unique, well balanced and delicious. I got a Carajillo which was the perfect brunch cocktail option. For our mains, I had the short rib huarache and my husband the Carne y Papas. Both were fantastic. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the food and couldn't have been better. We will definitely go back to ATX Cocina!More infoATX CocinaPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Downtown•4.8
