Best Authentic Restaurants in Lago Vista / Jonestown / Cedar Park

Excellent food, everything fresh and very good service from the moment you arrive until you leave.

Always a fantastic experience, truly, lately has even been my favorite restaurant in Austin, and I’m very much a native. Customer service and ambiance are always fly far above reproach. This outing, their GM Matt even texted personally to see if we’d like to move in to a better reservation… bravo! For recommendations, the spicy margs, machete (fancy quesadilla) , crab tostada, Caesar salad, salmon, and carne asada are some of our very favorites. Try a mezcal and recommendation too, impressive list. My Spanish CEO, a bit of a wine aficionado, was a bit skeptical, but every bottle has exceeded his high bar. Oh and they have a fantastic happy hour and Friday lunch. Enjoy!

We enjoyed another great meal here this evening. We celebrated Valentine's Day. They have a nice salad bar, but of course you have to be really careful not to fill up on salad or you will be unable to enjoy the delicious bites of the wide variety of meats that they offer ! A few of our favorites are the filet mignon, the top sirloin, the bottom sirloin, the little chicken drumettes -the bacon wrapped chicken, the pork ribs, and they are now offering caramelized, pineapple, sliced right off the sword. My granddaughter and I could not get enough and probably had about four or five servings. It was absolutely delicious. They also bring a basket of Brazilian rolls, a small side of mashed potatoes and a small side of plantains , in all honesty they are really not needed, but it's very nice and makes your meal complete. I have to tell you those Brazilian cheese rolls are addictive!!! I didn't realize that Bitelo's is family owned and operated ! I was chatting with one of the young gentlemen that bring around the tasty meats and told him that I recognized many of the people that were serving and the manager as well and that's when I found out they are all siblings. That's truly amazing. They do an absolutely incredible job of customer service. In fact I don't know other restaurants where they pull your chair out. Wait for you to sit down, put your chair back in and place your napkin back in your lap! They are just so respectful and so kind. The ambience is very nice. They play some music in the background it's pleasant, but it definitely does not cause problems when you converse it's kept fairly low volume wise. The dining area is quite large and they have a beautiful bar on one side of the room, we also noticed a private dining area , so I'm sure that can be utilized for special events. The three of us really enjoyed our meal and had a great time !!

Good food and service. Nice Christmas lunch with family.
