The Oasis on Lake Travis offers diners delicious Tex-Mex classics along with a breathtaking view of the lake (especially at sunset) that can’t be found anywhere else. People from all over Austin put the Oasis on their “must-visit” list when entertaining company from out of town, but residents of Laurel Canyon can conveniently visit any time they’d like.
The bright, spacious restaurant is several stories high, with large tall balconies facing the lake and several patios so diners can enjoy the lakeside breeze. The atmosphere is lively and warm, and it’s a great restaurant for any occasion.

It is served in a sweet chile sauce with rice, and the plate packs a memorable and flavorful punch. The Oasis also serves delicious and popular Tex-Mex inflected surf-n-turf combo plates.
