Stay away or they will sneak things on to your bill for mediocre food! \r \r We were actually on our way to try out the Tequila Grill in Pflugerville but they closed for maintenance, so we decided to give Camino Real a try. My husband is a Mexican food fiend and can eat it every day! Since we're new to the area, we were looking for just the place to be our new regular Mexican restaurant.\r \r Our server was really nice and the chips were good. The good news stops there. The food took a long time to come. We were so hungry, we ate way too much of the chips and salsa they bring to the table. We ordered a queso appetizer, but they brought it with the meal instead of ahead of time to snack on. The food was serviceable; fine, but nothing exciting. There was NO sour cream on any plate and only a tiny sprinkling of shredded cheese. Come on, it's Mexican food! Are you really holding out on the sour cream and cheese?\r \r Because we ate our meal at the same time, we didn't eat much of the queso. Right before we left I asked if we could get a re-fill on the chips and a to-go bag for our qeuso and the chips. The manager then came to the table and asked if we wanted to have a small or large order of ""to-go chips"" put on our tab! I was floored! The were actually asking us to pay twice for food that was already on our table!!!\r \r I set the food back on the table and told her to take it off the tab immediately. We left the food and went to pay. I found they had also added a charge for the sour cream I requested with my meal!\r \r We will never set foot in this restaurant again. And we eat Mexican two to four times a week! We've been sure to tell all our family, friends and co-workers to stay away. I'm also posting this on Facebook, Yelp, Google, Trip Advisor and on my blog. I'm spreading the bad word-of-mouth as far as I can. \r \r Hope it was worth a few chips, Camino Real. more

So we drive by in the AM, and the sign says ""Mexican Martinis & Mariachis 7PM."" Well, that sounds fun right? So 7PM rolls around, and we park. Hmmm... sign just says ""Mexican Martinis."" WTF?! Ok, well we're here so the mexican martinis must be good if they're on the sign still. I'd have to say that they tasted just like Kool-aid. It's even worse that my 8 y/o son said his tea tasted like water. I don't think food coloring and water really make liquor or tea. The food had to be better than the drinks... well, surprise, it's worse! We were afraid we'd get sick if we ate very much. We just wanted to get the hell out so we never asked for a manager. He just happened to come over and ask how it was. LOL We let him know, and all he said was okay and walked away. We were happy to leave and stop at a drive thru on the way home!!! Good luck if you dare to eat here! Oh, and what's up with the Italian decor in a Mexican restaurant?? more

my husband & i went there for dinner tonight. we were inpressed with the place. the food was good, hot & reasonably priced. The staff was friendly & all were smiling. The service was fast. we didn't even have to wait to long.\r 5/14/10 Pros: freindly,fast service, good food, clean place more

Wonderful evening spent with my wife. I enjoyed the small quaint atmosphere, service with a smile. Drinks and dinner were great, we will be returning and spreading the word. Pros: service with a smile more

The food is always awesome please dont be to angry if its a bit slow, because their is only one real cook whos making all the food. This cook has lots on his mind and works his BUTT off and provides top notch food! I kno from experience of eating there and checking out the kitchen! I promise you'll enjoy the food and love the desert! I recommend the Steak and also the lobster soup!!!!! Pros: Everything more

We ate her for the first time, and last. We were the only table in the restaurant and could not get any service!!! It took forever to get our meals and they were overpriced. The food was ok but have had better, but the service was inexcusable. I never see any cars there and now I know why. I believe in supporting the non chains, but this kind of restaurant drives me to the chains. Employees and owners should care more. Pros: Get right in Cons: just because you're in doesn't mean you'll be served more

My wife and I were invited by another couple to have dinner. Reservations were at 7 seated by 7:10. It took 25 minutes to get a drink order 15 min for her to remember that she had taken our order. We placed food order in which our server acted as if she wasnt ready to take it but did any way. I asked for the manager, manager comes over, wanted to know where our food was, she said she would check on it and took off. 8:40 food came. Next our waitress said ""if you want dessert you better ask now while I'm here"", we all looked at her like what the heck, she said ""I'm just being honest"". I do not recommend, as the food, service and attitude was unbelieveably the worst. We left at 9:10, No one offered an apology or good bye or thanks what so ever. Pros: bread, decor Cons: service, attitude, parking more

After reading numerous great reviews, my fiancee and I chose this restaurant to enjoy valentines day. We made reservations and were seated. Then sat over 20 minutes before we were asked for even a water. After 10 minutes, we got our water and bread. 45 minutes later - after three additional tables had come and were on dessert - we still had no meal. When we called the ""manager/owner"" over, we were treated rudely. We were told ""I don't work for free"" by her. What happened to the customer is always right?? She personally, in a rude and arrogant demeanor, ruined our evening. I DO NOT recommed. Ever. more

This place is great! The artichoke dip is fabulous! I was taken here by a friend and I really, really enjoyed the food. I lived in Italy for 3 years and the food here brought me back to the good 'ol times! The waitress was great and had a sense of humor. We were seated promptly. The atmosphere is great too. :) Pros: Great food, Quick seating, Awesome wine more

I grew up being fed real italian food -- this is simply good and definitely not your average alfredo & meatball place. Especially the seafood risottos are outright delicious! And for dessert: Their chocolate mousse is to die for. I eat there on a regular basis and never have been disappointed. Waitstaff was always friendly and went out of their way to please. This is one of my favorite places around Austin. Pros: Food, Waitstaff Cons: Location more

I cannot believe they call themselves an Italian restaurant. The food was a joke. I had Chicken Parm and wife had Fettuncini Alfredo. Mine was paper thin chicken with tomato sauce from a can poured on top and my wife's was bland. Service mixed our drinks and forgot our order. Table wasn't even clean. Very disappointing experience..hopefully one day they will open up a good, authentic style Italian in Pflugerville area. Cons: Food, Service, Food more

We were looking for a good restraunt without having to central Austin, and we decided to give Venice a try. I think we have found our new favorite Italian place. The food was great, the wine selection was impressive. and wait until you see the never-ending list of desserts! I reccomend the creme brulee. When a waistaffer told us we had left our lights on, the owner even went and turned them off so we wouldn't miss out hot meal. :) Pros: Great Ownership, Inexpensive, Great Desserts Cons: , none, and none! more

This is a great place. For a nice evening for two, for the whole family, or a big group of people. The food is authentic and the menu has a great variety of delicious dishes. Not to mention the daily specials. Handmade Ravioli stuffed with Lobster are my favorite. The chocolate mousse is to die for!!! Pros: family friendly, great atmosphere more

Having 3 pre-teens, we are out of the age of Pizza Hut, Chucky Cheese etc. Venice is given us the perfect solution. I terrific restaurant for the parents, where they can spend a nice quiet and romantic evening, without a waitress asking you every two minutes if you need anything else (knowing all they are trying to say is... hurry up and get out of here, so I can seat the next person). But, it is also a place, where my three kids can have a great time. They especially enjoy the icecream and the pasta, as well as the pizza! Pros: Food, Icecream, Parking more
