We couldn’t be more thrilled to host Johnny Gimble, his son, guitarist Dick, and his granddaughter, singer and pianist Emily, every fourth Thursday here at Guero’s! Johnny is known as one of country music’s all-time greatest fiddle players! An article written for “All Things Stings” featured Gimble and his background and of course, Guero’s Taco Bar!
We were so thankful to be featured recently in these fantastic articles! It is so great to see our customers letting everyone know about their experience here and what it means to them.
Preservation Magazine “It’s Just Different Here”
“One block south and across the avenue from the Continental, in a century-old building that formerly housed Central Feed and Seed, is Güero’s Taco Bar, which owners Rob and Cathy Lippincott opened in 1995 after moving their restaurant from its original location a couple of miles away. Six months after opening, President Bill Clinton stopped in for dinner (“He cleaned his plate”), business shot up 40 percent, and it’s been busy ever since.”
Life Is A Road Trip “Guero’s In Austin, TX”
“I’ve been to Guero’s a couple times before … I’d have to say it’s probably some of the best tex-mex I’ve ever had”
Austin Times “The Souvenir Menu: Why Guero’s is still one of Austin’s best”
“For decades now, Guero’s has been a frequent but temporary cure for home sickness.”
“So, finding a place where my first impression was “God, this tastes kinda like home!” was amazing.”
“So, whether you are missing your mom’s cooking, or your nanny’s, treat yourself to Guero’s soon. It’s considered one of Austin’s best for a good reason.”

It’s hard to sum up all that there is to see and do in Austin, but we think the recent Travel Squire article did it pretty nicely! We want to thank them for mentioning us under places to eat and drink! Click here to check out the full article. Here is the clip on Guero’s:
“Guero’s: An Austin establishment on South Congress that dishes excellent, reasonably priced Mexican food. Good for lunch or dinner, but can get crowded at peak times. Try the tacos al pastor. 1412 South Congress Ave., 512-447-7688, www.guerostacobar.com”
Thanks Travel Squire!
We are so happy when our customers are happy! Check out the newly engaged couple, Heather & Joe who made a stop at Guero’s Taco Bar to grab a beer and snap a few engagement photos by Magan Blasig! ¡Felicidades y’all!
Austin has its fair share of Mexican restaurants and it can be hard to figure out which are truly authentic Mexican eateries. In order to save you from all the imitation Mexican food out there, we put Guero’s, the South Congress favorite, to the test and compiled a checklist of what to look for the next time you’re craving the flavors of a true Mexican cantina.
There you have it. Basically, if you don’t find each of these four criteria at an Austin Mexican restaurants, you know you’re not getting a truly authentic experience and you should probably just head over to Guero’s.
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Guero’s! Come and hang out with us in the garden on May 1 @ 7pm and enjoy Mayan dancers, warriors, and even a Mayan Princess!
Here are some pictures from The 9th Annual Lonestar Rod & Kustom Round Up that happened over the weekend. A lot of amazing cars rolled by the restaurant as you can see!
The press is going wild about our outdoor stage being shut down the other night. Politicians like Mayor Pro-Tem Mike Martinez who pledged to help us obtain the necessary permits have decided instead to play politics with the issue. So allow us to clear the air!
Gary over at Austin City Permits has, in my opinion, the accurate story of how all this came to be. It’s almost good enough for a made for TV movie — almost.
Here’s a little blurb from FOX this morning:
Here’s Guero’s owner Rob Lippincott arguing his case before the Austin City Council: (he starts @ 10:55)
Andy Hayes, publisher of Sharing Travel Experiences, recently wrote a “Foodie’s Guide To Austin, Texas” where he highlights the best spots to eat in Austin. For Mexican food Andy says Guero’s is the best in Austin!
It is no surprise that some of the best food in Austin is Mexican-inspired. But many of the restaurants in Austin serve what I’d call Tex-Fresh-Mex: fun and light ingredients, without all the lard and salt. And they’re BIG into tacos, maybe just a little obsessive if I may say so. Gueros takes top marks for great service, a fantastic menu, and terrific ambience at their venue on South Congress. Portions are a healthy size without being obscene. Try an Al Pastor taco which is topped with pork, cilanto, and pineapple: great for those warm sunny Austin days. And don’t forget the queso!
We would like to personally thank Andy for his kind words. We work very hard to give our customers the best experience possible.
