    Who knew!? That we would end up having such a fabulous dinner at the local Chilis here in Austin. We arrived into town late, so where do you go when you want to dine late and have a cocktail? That's right, Chili's! And they did not disappoint! The drink specials they were offering were right on point! We ended up having a few of those Titos Watermelon Spritz drinks because they were so good. My husband ordered the Ultimate Smokehouse combo and I had the guiltless steak dinner with asparagus which were cooked perfectly. I was very pleased with my dinner and cocktails. Our waitress was so super friendly and gave us the best service despite our late arrival. Ambiance, is typical Chili's - very welcoming.

    Classic Sirloin* - 6oz

    So when I first walked in the host was amazing she greeted and sat us as soon as we walked in but than we waited for a little bit for a server but I understood that because there was a big table but when he came up to the table he didn't introduce or nothing than while we were seeing what we wanted to order for him to take down he walked away to a different table without say anything or excusing his self. When are chips and salsa came it was like a hit or miss with the chip you could tell that the grease was old!!!,but than are food had came and I ordered the triple dipper and my sliders were pink in the middle all the way like they we're barely cooked and my sister in law order the 3forME Sirlion Steak and she asked for it to be WELL done and it looked like they only had it cooking on one side bc it was burned. Worst experience ever would never go back and do not recommend

    Closed Easter  Week???
    Anthony K.

    We were here last week. The portions were relatively large, and the food was good, except the person preparing the to-go order included no plastic-wear. It wasn't a big deal because the hotel next door that we are staying at had disposable plastic wear for their buffet. Just a reminder for their team. We returned this week and the dining room is closed all week, with no explanation given, see picture. But, they do have to-go service, so their kitchen is not out of service, nor were they shut down for a health violation. How strange, and disappointing. So I called and asked the employee who answered why they are closed all week. She said she didn't know and was snotty...come on. Update: Ok, we returned to the Drury Hotel next door and went here to eat. Closed again!...3 weeks in a row. What is going on?

    Chips & salsa
    Heather B.

    I only use this Chili's for take out, so that is the basis of my review. My specification requests are taken care of most of the time (extra ranch, salsa on the side, etc.) All items for the meals typically are there (I've been shorted tortilla chips more than once). I'm always pleased with how well packaged the food is. As for taste, the food has always been standard Chili's fare, completely acceptable but not particularly notable.

    The actual shrimp tacos
    Courtney B.

    I came to this establishment a bit after 3PM with another quest. When we arrived at this establishment, we were ignored by the host for at least 10 minutes. Once we were seated, we were greeted by our server who seemed attentive. We ordered the following: Bottomless chips and salsa The salsa seemed to be "off" in the sense that it was peppery and not flavorful. I've had the salsa at Chill's many times but this particular batch lacked flavor. Cup of Southwest Chicken soup The soup was tasteless and lukewarm. There was maybe one sliver of chicken in the soup. "Shrimp tacos" I ordered the shrimp tacos, but got chicken tacos. So back the first round of tacos went. I waited approximately 13 minutes for my new tacos to be sent to me. When the shrimp tacos did arrive, the beans that accompanied it were cold. Southern Smokehouse Burger The fries for the burger were under-cooked. The burger patty itself was grilled but was unseasoned. I will not return because of lack of attention to detail and poor food quality.

    Didn't know it was possible to sit in a restaurant for 15 mins before you even see a server... that's a new low for service.

Not quite sure why the food was subpar, but there were 10 of us who all agreed we wouldn't return for food. There is a swanky little cozy speakeasy in the basement that may be good?

We absolutely recommend coming here and getting fajitas or enchiladas or Barbacoa quesadillas maybe all of the above if you bring enough people because it's all delicious! The restaurant itself is very well kept and clean. It does get a little bit loud, but that's only because it's always packed to the doors. Mama Betty's has a really fun outdoor patio space and always has great music playing. It's an awesome establishment to bring families kids Little League teams, office meetings whatever you want you won't disappoint anybody you bring. No matter who we have gotten as far as the wait staff they have all been extremely friendly, kind and helpful when it came to choosing something on the menu--everybody here has a wonderful and warm personality. They really have put together a home run of a restaurant and I hope that they stay around for a long time. Last, but not least the drinks are outstanding, and everything is very competitively and fairly priced. If you haven't tried it and are worried about it being packed come during the weekday at lunch.

    Went on Sunday after Easter service because we were craving something a friend brought us during a…read morerecent meal train but felt it a bit lacking. First, the menu needs a rewrite for content and clarity. For example, buying fajitas doesn't list guacamole and based on size, single, for two and family you get more sides of rice or beans. There's no definition of how much actual meat you get and our server couldn't provide that information beyond a rough estimate. Second, the fajitas we got of family size and for two portions for 7 were not consistently cooked. We asked for medium rare and got about 25% at that with the ones in the center at a more well done. Again, the multiple tiny sides were more obnoxious than anything as it's legit beans and rice unless you want to upcharge. The cilantro lime rice tastes like nothing so skip that and go for abuelita rice which has a hint of flavor. Overall, the butter/gravy that go on the fajitas is the real winner but again a menu where you overbuy and misunderstand (that doesn't even list extras like guacamole or a simple small queso) was beyond frustrating. I would stick to them for one to possibly get a better cook.

I've driven by El Alma many times being in the Austin area, but I never went until last Thursday, and after surviving a brief monsoon, I was glad to get a few drinks and eat some good TexMex with my large party just before a wedding. The best way to describe El Alma is that it is TexMex that is Austinified. Everything feels a little more unique and special than your classic TexMex options. I started off with a Mezcal Margarita that put a little hair on my chest and got me going. My group ordered two of their Nachitos, which were these nice nachos. For my main entrée, I got 3 Al Pastor tacos on corn with a side of their rice and beans. Their pastor was served with pineapples, onions, and cilantro with limes on the side. They were great and I immediately crushed them all. I thought their rice and beans were pretty good as well and a step above the typical TexMex rice and beans. The server was pretty attentive throughout our whole visit, and I honestly have no complaints about what they had to offer. Pricing on the meal and drinks was pretty standard for Austin, and I didn't think anything really took me out of the experience. On top of that, for being in Barton Springs, there is quite a bit of parking. I would love to come back at some point in the future and hang out on their rooftop bar because that seems like a lot of fun. Shoutout to El Alma for being a TexMex oasis saving me from the MoPac traffic. RIYL: TexMex, but better than your average
