NEVER AGAIN!  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

If you want marginal food and dishonest staff then Baby A's is the place for you. Bill padding and the customer is always wrong is an excellent description of my experience and judging by the other review, it seems to be the way they do business. If the management had even seemed remotely interested in correcting my clearly padded bill (I agree that the waitstaff was probably comping their buddies) then I might consider giving them another shot. I am not, however, going to pay good money to be treated like a lying idiot. Never again!

Dishonest and Rude!  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

OMG! This is the most dishonst wait staff and management you have ever seen. I went with a group of coworkers and was getting ready to leave. Each had paid there own bill and added $10 each for a tip. They charge 17% gratuity already! I had ordered 3 margaritas at happy hour prices and a 1/2 price nacho. The waiter had put 2 samplers on our bill and god knows what else. Sylvia the manager pretty much said it was our word against the waiters. 3 margaritas @ $3.75 each and one 1/2 price apetizer at $4.75 my bill came to $51.00! Very dishonest. I can only imagine the waiter was putting his friends food and drinks on hour bill. We used to go there all the time but have decided to go somewhere where they practice ethics. BE VERY AWARE! LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT BILL AND KEEP A WRITTEN TAB OF WHAT YOU ORDER!!

Baby Acapulco  5 Star Rating - World class

We tried this place just by chance and we loved it. The food was great - huge portions. Some unique dishes you don't normally see. Be sure to try the purple margarita - it;s loaded.

Go for drinks 4 Star Rating - Very good

Food is not bad but the drinks are why I go back and take friends who are visiting with me. As previously mentioned, you cannot go wrong with the Purples - well until the next day, but that depends if your hangovers get as ghastly as mine. It is a fun atmosphere as well.

Pros: Margaritas
Cons: Food is so-so

The worst tex-mex in Austin 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I tried this place out because heard that they had good tex-mex food. I'am new in Austin looking for good tex-mex food and this was not a place that I would revisit. After we ordered our food it was on our table within 5 minutes so tells you how authentic that is. The food tasted like they had gotten it from a a grocery store in the frozen food aisle. I'am from Houston and have had tex-mex often. I'am hoping to find something that compares to Houston's tex-mex and have yet to find it.

Pros: waitress
Cons: Horrible tasting food

Overpriced !@#$! 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

The waiter lied to us about how much the drinks were and how small the portions were. The only thing worth going there for is the jukebox and purple margie!

Pros: Purple Rita
Cons: The wait staff!

Purple Margaritas! 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Baby A's seems to be a somewhat popular spot in Austin despite the food tasting so-so. The atmosphere is fun and it's a great place to hang out with friends, family, and kids, but I still can't get over how the food just had nothing really special in it. I do recommend coming here for your birthday where you can get a FREE Purple Margarita! The Purple Margarita is a huge margarita that uses everclear so watch out! Other than that, you can definitely find better food elsewhere.

Pros: Purple Margarita
Cons: Food is so-so
