If you love TexMex, then this bright blue restaurant is probably already on your radar. If it’s not, you definitely need to plan a visit soon!
Rudy Cisneros opened Cisco's in 1948, when he transformed the family bakery into a dining establishment. Generations of the Cisneros family have run it ever since. Though it's recently under new management, Cisco's still offers the delicious TexMex that Austinites have loved over the years.
This mural was painted by Nicholas Conrad Miller and six art students as part of the Austin Mural Program. You'll love this whimsical mural that features bits of the history of the restaurant and its original owner.
