Hula Hut in Austin is a vibrant, waterfront Tex-Mex spot with a laid-back Hawaiian flair, nestled right on Lake Austin.
It blends Tex-Mex flavors with Caribbean and Hawaiian influences, all served up in a relaxed, tiki-style setting. With bamboo walls, festive lighting, and waterfront seating, it feels like a slice of island paradise right in Austin. Since 1993, it’s been a local favorite for its unique ambiance and scenic views.
The menu is made from scratch and highlights include handmade tortillas, tubular tacos, fajitas with tropical twists like Hawaiian or Thai BBQ, seafood, grilled proteins, and shareable platters. You’ll also find creative salads, bowls, hearty sandwiches, and desserts like fried ice cream and tropical-style pies.
