I agree with the majority of the comments and review that Guero's is overrated, but I think calling it "tourist trash" is a bit harsh.
While a good majority of the food is mediocre and the restaurant thrives due to is its location, strong drinks and its popularity amongst big name Austin visitors- the 25 cent happy hour tamales are a great deal and the chicken soup is awesome- or so I remember from 5+ years ago when I was still eating meat.

Also of note, the very next night I saw Kevin Nealon at the Capitol City Comedy Club his opening line was "I know, I know, I'm much taller than you thought."

I completely agree with the previous commenter. Guero's is tourist trash. To me, the initial measurement of a Tex-Mex restaurant is the quality of their chips and salsa. Guero's is one of the few places in Austin where you have to PAY for your chips. ...Tourist trash.

Yeah we ate there mostly for the convenience, so I guess we got what we deserved.

i'm always bummed when I hear that people take out-of-towners to guero's. that is the taco bell of local tex-mex restaurants. i'll never understand the spell that they've cast on this town. I guess it's the location. But, FYI-- gueso flameado is absolutely different from what most people consider queso. It's a broiled cheese, basically. Glad you caught a good buzz though! Next time, hit up the east-side! El Azteca or Los Comales for starters!
