Senorita's Cantina, Austin

The cooks at Senoritas combine flavors from every possible side of the border, creating snackable bites as well as hearty entrees with such piquant touches as a homemade jalapeño ranch. Juggling eats and drinks until as late as 2 a.m., servers and bartenders keep the festivities going while pool tables, live music, and double-dutch tournaments occupy diners until closing time. Mission-style arches keep the lofty ceilings from falling into the sky, and an outdoor patio allows guests to enjoy their meal without missing a single supernova.
