    Tex-Mex Burrito Bowl in a Tortilla
    Britt D.

    Yum! Chuy's always hits the spot. From the salsa and jalepeno ranch to the entrees, the amazing flavors are always there. Our waiter was so attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is always welcoming and nostalgic.

    Enjoyed dinner with the family a few nights ago! What a great experience. Our server was fantastic! We sat in a cool room with an old car theme. There were hub caps covering the ceiling and old car photos along the walls. The food was exceptional! Great Tex Mex! Still one of my favorite Tex Mex restaurants in Austin. I had a cheese enchilada and a beef taco plate with rice and beans. Words can't describe how good it was. My wife had the flautas which she said were great! My brother had the beef fajitas! We'll be back for sure!

    A little get together with friends for lunch. Service was slow, but otherwise excellent. Typical Tex-Mex vibes inside, but the random coconut trees in the middle give it something different. Creamy Jalapeño ranch dip for your chips is where it's at here!

    Lively spot for a Friday night, they have outdoor heaters but was too windy. On a fall day it would be nice. Authentic Mexican vibe for a tex mex spot I feel. Food portions are high quality as it was a cheesy enchilada. Jalapeño ranch dipping sauce and fresh salsa to start was great too. Service was good as they didn't keep asking about an update and how we're doing to rush an order and flip a table.

    My boyfriend and I decided to give this Chuy's location a try since it was closer to where we were at instead of our usual spot, and overall, it was a decent experience with a few highs and lows. Let's start with the positives: the jalapeño cream sauce was absolutely amazing, and the queso was a solid hit too! Honestly, the dips alone were worth the trip. The atmosphere was lively and fun--exactly what you expect from Chuy's--with that quirky, Austin vibe. The place was packed, but we were seated quickly, and our waitress was incredible. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of. Now for the food. I ordered the Boom Boom Chicken Enchilada, and while the sauce was flavorful and the beans and rice were on point, the chicken itself was disappointingly dry. My boyfriend had the Elvis Platter, but we both agreed it lacked that bold Tex-Mex punch we were hoping for--it was a bit bland compared to what we're used to from Chuy's. That said, the meal was very affordable, and given the great service and overall vibe, I'd be willing to give this location another shot. Maybe it was just an off night for the kitchen, but I'm hopeful next time will live up to the Chuy's reputation.

    Chicken fajitas
    James K.

    I came back here again for a work lunch a few weeks back, and had another solid experience! We were able to get seated very quickly which was nice. And the food was solid! The chicken fajitas with flour were definitely good. And our server Emily crushed it. Well done Chuy's team! It was a successful visit. We will be back.

    Tex-Mex Burrito Bowl - Vegetarian
    Ameya B.

    Decided to try out this classic Austin restaurant with a local, and absolutely enjoyed the food and vibe at this location. As a vegetarian though, it was a slight struggle to find something to eat with a fairly limited vegetarian friendly menu! We ordered Guacamole and Queso in appetizers, and their Queso was really delicious. Very flavorful and went really well with those Tostada chips! I got the Tex-Mex Burrito Bowl without any protein, and the portion size was large enough to fill me up. The House Salsa was tasty, and so was my overall dish. Service was quick and food arrived within 20 minutes of ordering. It was a Saturday afternoon, and noise levels were slightly on the louder side at around 2 pm. A definite must try if you like Mexican food!

    It's very annoying that you can't order an entree w/o beans & rice It's a simple process to sub a salad for beans & rice on the phone or in person and should be just as easy to do this online

    Chips. Ranch? Salsa ok. Prefer the Salsa hotter

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

Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites.

Flat out. The food is unreal. The hamachi crudo is the best raw seafood dish I've had in any kind of short-term or long-term memory. The carne asada has a masterful balance of just enough smoky flavor and spice. As someone who's been cooking Mexican cuisine for decades, it's very difficult to properly assess how balanced those chiles will turn out. The pork chop was also unreal. We ate every bit off the bone. We live in NYC and eat nothing but great meals. This place is a standout for us in ATX. Can't wait to come back here when we are back in Austin.
