VERDAD True Modern Mexican 2701 Perseverance Drive, Austin, TX 78731

"My husband made reservations for our anniversary. When he made the reservation he also told them it was for our anniversary and when we arrived, they put rose petals on our table! So lovely! The manger Trevor later came to see how everything was and to wish us “happy anniversary!” He asked how our experience was and got the scoop on how we met! The food was amazing and savory and the sever was knowledgeable about the restaurant and history of the food and its origins and ingredients. 10/10 in total experience and ambiance and food and drinks and we just can’t say enough about this place! We ordered drinks, appetizer, two meals (duck and scallops) and 3 desserts!"

"Exceptional service! Great food! Mouth watering drinks! We got the Al Centro Margaritas with their house made hibiscus sorbet! 10/10 recommend. Chase was our server - ask for him! He was very detail oriented, had excellent recommendations, and kept the drinks flowing! We had the best time and will definitely be back for the amazing food and great service! Also, the atmosphere - immaculate."

"Ambiance is top tier. Definitely a modern spin on your Mexican favorites. Ensure you order the hot cocoa. We loved the experience. Service was amazing, our waitress Bella was very helpful & informative. They have a large verity of meals & she was able to explain them with accuracy. The night was lovely & we would return in the future."

"Easily the best new restaurant in Austin this year, definitely one of my new favorites. Everything was outstanding from the service, ambience, drinks, and food. Service was on point, all of the staff provided fine dining level service. Very friendly staff and my water glass was never empty. The restaurant is gorgeous and has a really nice vibe. Great selection of cocktails! The food came out coursed very well, which allowed time to relax and enjoy everything. All of the dishes we had were excellent. Definitely recommend getting the mole tasting, guacamole, ribs, and enchiladas. The filet mignon tacos were the star of the entire meal! The best taco I have ever had, no question. Ended the meal with an amazing seis leche cake."

"Everything was sublime. The mole sauces were perfectly balanced and smooth in texture as they should be. The bartender offered to make a watermelon mint margarita even though it wasn’t on the menu and it came out great. I ordered the scallop dish which didn’t disappoint, however I would recommend the radish and green garnish be pickled or have a hint of lime juice to better pair with the scallop and bring the dish together. I highly recommend anyone to order the mole sampler and I hope they never remove it from the menu and do a rotation of different mole sauces throughout the year to keep people coming and craving more."
