Kusko was very welcoming when we arrived and gave us the lay of the land. She was very knowledgable about the area and recommended several restaurants to try. If we ever needed anything, she replied right away. The TajMaSmall is in a great location, located between two major streets that have fantastic places to eat! We spent a lot of time out and about in Austin and didn't spend tons of time at the Taj, but it was a good place to come back to sleep and plan our next adventure.
