I hadn’t been here in a very long time. Since before all of the nice buildings around it were there. Still has its nice vintage vibe, very retro and homey. The food is very good and the prices are great, if you’re drinking and partying on E. 6th St., this is the greatest spot to go afterwards to put something in your stomach. Very convenient location, highly recommend.
Cisco's was my favourite place in Austin, and I went to a lot of places in my short time there. The vibes of the place completed me. I could have sat there all day getting my coffee refilled and watching the condensation drop from the AC into an eclectic array of buckets, but sadly I had places to be. These were the best breakfast tacos I've had. They were nothin fancy and that's the point. The definition of cheap and cheerful. The flavours were perfect. I should have got more. But no regrets. The giant spoon in the coffee was a nice touch.

Old school Tex-Mex
You come here for the vibe. And the food, which is part of the vibe, and pretty much exactly what you’d expect from classic Austin Tex-Mex. Decent sized portions (ok, sometimes huge), and very happy-making.
Great service took so if you don’t want to stand in the infinite lines in the nearby places, eat here!!

Layout/atmosphere
*Six seat counter; tables; back room with tables; family photos on the wall; paintings of old Texas Longhorns football programs
Food/drink
*Migas Plate (three eggs scrambled with fried tortilla chips, onions and tomatoes, topped with melted cheese, and served with sausage, refried beans, and a side of ranchero sauce) with two flour tortillas - very good; standout flavor
*Basket of Biscuits (4) - very good; soft; buttery
Great place. Happy to support a long time business with awesome staff. No real vegan options. I ordered the veggie fajitas and asked for no cheese/no sour cream with the fixings. They were so delicious. My partner ordered the chicken fajitas and he loved them. I would definitely come back. Everything about the place is worth coming back over and over again. We still talk about the food. Just a great place with great food.
Went here for my Birthday. Never heard of the place we just seen it when looking for somewhere to go since other place we came for was closed. It was later in the evening so it was not busy. The server was a young gentleman which was no very friendly but did his job well and I can appreciate that! The menu was great if you like comfort foods. Also had some really really great tortilla soup
Tasty real Mexican food, great service.
This is a great historical food location in East Austin!! Awesome food, staff and atmosphere. Also pretty damn reasonably priced in my opinion for today's food prices.
Update: 6/6/22 it's been 1 year now that I have started coming to Cisco's (nearly once a week) and just like the first visit the food and service have been awesome!
Thanks Cisco's and special thanks to Norma and her awesome music ;).
Super cool old school restaurant with amazing food. We had great service too!

This little place... It isn't so little. The kitchen is up front and it seems like it's a small cafe at first. The staff is right there to take your order before you even sit down, so there's a regular home-like feel to the joint.
There are people using phones for e-deliveries, and a cliche of young kids, but also, and this is what piqued my interest, a work crew early in the morning by the construction. But not just blue or no collar, but an eclectic sort of clientele.
I sat down at the bar and had ordered, then looked around the place
Lol and behold, it expanded. I still can't understand why more places do this, but every available square foot is ready for an onrush of say fifty people, easy.
You have the city's finest tucked in the back on their break, very private and very comfortable. Then there is the editor, or the wayward business person.
It's a diner and a restaurant and a bar. But it's not. The service is excellent. Very friendly and bilingual. A very clean place, although you would not expect it by the surrounding neighborhood establishments which cater to the party crowd.
But the breakfast: good portions. Not great, not huge. A little wanting if that is your concern... But the taste and the ingredients used, well, that's where your money is going.
A very fine balance between quality and quantity. Yes, you can hit up a food truck if you wish. You'll get more per dollar, for sure
But the service, the meal, the perfect combination of quick, friendly, exceptional service alongside of a great dish (take your pick, I went with the three egg dish, alas no biscuits were made) you will be pleased.
If visiting Austin and you find yourself on the east side of the highway, make the trek.
It's so efficient that I think you'll enjoy all three stages of meals in a day there and wonder how you got satisfied so quickly.
It would almost have slipped my mind to write this review.
It's like I was at home and the family gave me my meal before work. Yet I could linger and chat, but why interrupt the staff from delivering satisfaction to the rest of the patrons?
Great place. A staple.
