Austin’s oldest Tex-Mex restaurant institution and historical landmark located in one of the cities fun hot-spots in the heart of the East side established in 1950. Famous throughout the country and popular spot for visitor’s who want to experience the oldest Tex-Mex restaurant and a piece of historical Austin, and loved my locals.
Breakfast faves at this daytime institution with modest decor include migas & biscuits.

Cisco’s Restaurant, Bar & Bakery – East Austin. A true East Austin institution with 75 years of history and family-run charm, Cisco’s definitely earns points for nostalgia and character. The space is tiny but quaint, filled with old-school Tex-Mex vibes that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a slice of Austin’s past.
I ordered the carne guisada and migas tacos with water • both were okay, but lacked the bold flavor I was hoping for. The tortillas weren’t homemade, which surprised me given how long this place has been around. I remember having a similar experience years ago, so maybe I just haven’t found my go-to order here yet.
Parking was a headache; honestly spent more time circling the block than sitting down to eat. That said, the waitress was lovely and attentive, and the festive, colorful interior added a nice touch to the overall experience.
Cisco’s is undeniably cool for its legacy and local roots, but I’d love to see the tortillas elevated to match the heritage. Not sure if I’ll be back, but I respect what they represent in Austin’s food scene.

Loved this place for breakfast. The restaurant is full of character with lots of memorabilia on the wall. My migas biscuit was fantastic, it was super cheesy and served with a spicy salsa. Everyone else ordered a migas plate which was a great size. We were seated quickly as a table of 8.

This restaurant is a delicious part of Austin’s history! The building is over a hundred years old and has been home to Cisco’s since 1950.
While I enjoy all of the food, my favorite dish is the chicken fried steak (which reminds me of my mother’s) served with a side of veggies and a delicious biscuit. The biscuits are handmade fresh daily and served all day. You can even get a bag of biscuits to go.
They serve breakfast all day, so go ahead and order pancakes and fajitas! I wish they were open later, a chicken fried steak would be a great way to end a night out on east 6th!

Absolutely loved this place. Cisco’s Restaurant Bakery & Bar has a warm, homey atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable right away. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was delicious. A great spot to start the day—would definitely come back.

Some of the best carne asada tacos I’ve ever had. Super authentic food.

If these walls could talk, they’d need security clearance.
My uncle used to bring me here as a kid and tell me stories about the people who came through—politicians, outlaws, musicians, sometimes all three at once. Half of it I’m still not sure was legal. This is where LBJ cut deals over migas and black coffee. Even during segregation, where East Austin’s soul met West Austin’s power, and everybody ate at the same counter.
Cisco’s isn’t a restaurant. It’s a time machine to an Austin that knew how to do business and didn’t need to put it on LinkedIn. Before the city got overrun by people who think “authentic” means a $14 cold brew with oat milk.
The food is excellent. The history is priceless. The vibe is “your grandfather closed deals here and didn’t talk about it.”
Order the migas. Sit at a round table. Remember when Austin had grit.

We came for brunch, to meet up with friends who hadn’t been here since their youth. They claimed food taste has somewhat dropped. Perhaps due to new cooks and such. Regardless, we thought our food was of satisfactory Tex-Mex quality. This large yet cramped restaurant felt somewhat loud as we made our way to the back section for our seats. They have a lot of different pictures and such on their walls that I kept glancing at as I made my way to my seat.

How have I lived in Austin for 12 years and never been to Cisco’s?
The place is bigger than it looks and features a cute diner style area as well as a couple of dining rooms. Our server was super friendly and answered all of our questions as we perused the menu.
We started off by trying the Salsa Toxica. It’s their spicy salsa but has a really unique flavor. Then we ordered the Migas and the Huevos Rancheros. The migas were full of chips and veggies and the ranchero sauce was lovely. After seeing the kitchen staff pulling fresh, house-made biscuits out of the oven, we knew we had to try them as well. I never thought I would say this, but one of the best biscuits I’ve ever had is from a Mexican restaurant. You absolutely have to try them!! They have such a lovely flavor and consistency.
I truly look forward to returning to Cisco’s for more meals and more biscuits!

Stopped in 11/17/24 just after noon. It looked promising but fell short. The restaurant was not packed but service was really slow. Ordered the Migas plate which was not bad and ordered 2 tacos which were bland. My biggest knock on this place was the tortillas, they had that fake smell because they were not homemade and all the cook had to do was heat them up thoroughly so they wouldn’t have that doughy texture. My server was nowhere to be found so I found another waitress and asked her to ask the cook if he could provide some fully cooked tortillas to replace the ones we had. Our waitress finally brought the new tortillas and said no one has ever requested them to be cooked thoroughly and that blew my mind. Anyhow, I’ll pass on this place when visiting Austin in the future.
