Fonda San Miguel

Austin


The gorgeous building is drenched in the atmosphere of old Mexico, with folk-inspired art, and it's been serving interior Mexican cooking for over 25 years. The Sunday brunch buffet is an impressive event but, at $39 per person, you'd better come hungry to make it worthwhile. Note that the last seating is one hour before close.
