Fresa's at 9th & Lamar centers on a wood grill: whole or half chickens in achiote-citrus or Yucatan spice, chimichurri skirt steak, and aji-glazed Gulf shrimp, each plated with charro beans, Mexican rice, grilled onion, blistered jalapeño, corn tortillas, and salsas.
The rest of the menu spreads wide from there — tacos like the pulled-chicken La Fresa and brisket-based El Rey, rice-and-bean bowls, kale Caesar and chopped salads, nachos, queso, and guacamole with pineapple or jicama add-ins. A rotating seasonal section has featured a citrus-cured ceviche tostada and crispy Baja shrimp.
Breakfast tacos run daily, and weekend brunch brings chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and a breakfast burrito to the lineup. The bar pours margaritas built on tequila and mezcal, from classic blanco to reposado and espadín.
This location is part of a small group of Fresa's restaurants around Austin, and it was named to A Taste of Koko's best-of-Austin list for 2025.
