Full of character and charm, Grizzelda’s transports guests to Central and Coastal Mexico with its lush greenery, shades of pink and pops of floral. From heirloom and traditional Central Mexican dishes and moles to fresh coastal crudos, the cuisine at Grizzelda's runs the gamut of Mexican fare while holding true to Austin’s Tex-Mex roots. Grizzelda’s, located across the street from sister restaurant Jacoby’s Restaurant & Mercantile, is the second project from the Jacoby Restaurant Group.

    What a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion. We were a party of 8 and everything ordered was wonderful. The chips and salsa were plentiful and everyone loved the smoky salsa and the spicier green salsa. We ordered chicken fajitas, skirt steak fajitas, cheese chile rellenos, taco salad served vegan, and enchiladas verde which came with beans and rice along with the brussel sprouts and street corn salad as shareable sides. Every dish was excellent. This is not a cheap restaurant so be prepared for a special occasion bill but it wasn't outrageous and the food was a very high quality. They served each birthday person a complementary dessert which was enough to share with the rest of the party. We will definitely be back.

    The service was great. Food was okay, the fajitas did not come out sizzling or even especially hot. Drinks were good but over priced. Overall a good experience but nothing you can’t get in hundreds of restaurants across Austin for the same cost.

    The fajitas were good. Overall the menu had a good selection. The food is a safe bet. I need something outstanding, and there’s an appetizer that met that criteria - tostadas de atun

    Overall it was a great experience. We were there celebrating my birthday and they were so accommodating and helpful. Hands down some of the best service and ambience for sure. The food is pretty good but nothing to write home about. The drinks on the other hand….. liquid perfection !!

    We gave it another try, but Grizzelda’s really isn't made for us: quiet foodies who prize food quality above all, while appreciating great service. We ordered the Tostadas de Atun [sic] and the Queso Blanco, along with a Modelo Especial and a Skinny Paloma. One would think these simple appetizers and drinks would be a chance to shine, especially for the glitzy vibe of Grizzelda’s. Not so. The chips with the queso were oversaturated with oil, some to the point of bendiness and inedibility. The “tostada” shells (the shape of huaraches but hard-shell) were stale. The tuna had no discernible flavor beyond just being a cut slab of tuna. And the tostada was topped with a kind of bloomin’ onion ring thing, which tasted just like Outback’s and didn’t go with the flavors of the tuna or serrano crema at all. It was like an appetizer you’d get from a 12-year-old aspiring chef who made an earnest effort, but just didn’t know what to look for or choose to delivery quality taste. From adults? Inexcusable. The Modelo in a frozen mug was great, but the Skinny Paloma was somehow sweet and sugary, from a drink that is supposed to be both unsugared and tart. The queso was fine but forgettable. It was loud and tinny on the patio, with the music up near club volume, making everyone yell over it, creating more noise. Not a chill vibe.
