Joann’s Fine Foods is a lively Tex Mex Diner & Patio Restaurant located in the iconic Austin Motel, along South Congress Avenue. The vibe is laid back but bustling with comfortable indoor booths, shady patio seating and a popular palapa bar. The vintage diner has been restored and updated with mahogany wood paneling, Mid-century furniture and photos of famous Texans. The menu features Tex Mex and diner classics cooked over our mesquite burning grill. Joann’s is perfect any time of the day when strolling the iconic avenue. Favorites include Wood-Grilled Fajitas with tortillas made in-house daily, Joann’s Queso, Chicken Fried Steak, Tacos and Mexican Breakfast Plates, Enchiladas and diner specialties including Stone Ground Blue Corn Pancakes, Omelet, Patty Melt, and Club Sandwich. The bar is stocked with an extensive tequila and mezcal selection and Joann’s serves one of Austin’s best frozen margaritas. We are open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch and all your margarita-drink
