On arrival

What it looks like when you get there

The covered patio under its white gabled roof, papel picado strung between the beams
The covered patio set for service — rows of wooden tables and metal chairs, open to the trees on every side
The main dining room, its wide windows opening onto the Hill Country
A dining room at El Jalisco #3 — tables on Saltillo tile beneath a carved Aztec sun stone on the wall
The playground behind the restaurant — a wooden play tower with a yellow tube slide and swings under the live oaks
