    Truly unique and the menu is as interesting as it was delicious. The migas and the chiccarone offering caught my attention. It might be good idea to order ahead. We ordered on the spot on a not busy time and it took a good 15 minutes to get the order. The convenience store is well convenient to get the beverage of your choice .

    Yep. Pretty good breakfast tacos. But for the cold, hard cash? There's better (or just as good for half the price). Migas. Tasty. Chilaquiles. Tasty. Why don't they have a chilaquiles plate? If it's good enough to wrap in a tortilla, throw it on a plate with an over easy egg! Chorizo, egg, and cheese. Greasy. Not sure if it was the chorizo or the cheese, but it more than dripped grease. All of the tacos were a bit meager. Two of us split 3 and left not quite satisfied. Good. Not in the top 10.

    Staff was nice, Google Maps takes me a little offs ways but its at the corner of the gas station. Chilaquiles Taco: soft corn chips, egg, a la mex, queso fresco was a fun taco, you can add meat to if if you want. I recommend this one! I also got a bacon and a chorizo egg and cheese taco and the bacon was crispy, chorizo was not too greasy. Its all well balanced. Not a must come back for me since I personally want something a little greasyer but with its name, Con Madre, its a great place! All the tacos were fresh and came out hot! Salsa was not spicy enough for me but that can be a plus if you want clean tacos and mild salsa, a jump from fuzzys.

    Breakfast burrito was delicious! I'm salivating just remembering how much I liked it! I got it with chorizo, potatoes, cheese, refried beans and salsa verde. Patio seating was nice. Service was as expected.

    If you're looking for a food truck that sells a wide variety of Mexican food at a great price, a great selection of agua frescas, and shaded patio seating then Con Madre Kitchen is a spot you should consider! When I came I tried a few different items such as: - Pastor Tacos (3.5/5), Barbacoa Tacos (4/5), and Bistek Tacos (3.5/5). The barbacoa was my favorite because it was the most tender, rich, and flavorful of the three. What's also nice overall about these tacos is that they cost $2.89 each when you get them on corn. - Madre's Sautéed Shrimp Taco (4/5) & Madre's Chori-Queso Taco (4.25/5): in addition to traditional street style tacos, they have these two unique ones with one featuring grilled shrimp and the other featuring chorizo and melted cheese. These come on flour tortilla and cost $4.75 each. - Cheeseburger: wouldn't normally get a burger from a Mexican restaurant, but this was good as it had a bigger emphasis on the grilled onion. ($5.50) - 3.5/5 - Homemade Picadillo Nachos: they load the nachos up with beef, cheese, avocado, and jalapeños and this is not a bad appetizer to get if you're craving some nachos. ($13) - 3.25/5 - Madre's Frito Pie: their take on frito pie, but using Hispanic ingredients. ($8) - 3.25/5 - Agua Frescas: they have a great selection where you can get Horchata (sweet cinnamon & rice milk), Jamaica (sweet hibiscus punch), tamarindo (sweet & tangy tamarind juice) -, and limonada. You honestly can't go wrong with any of these! They all taste great. ($3.50/ea) - 4.25/5 With lots of food to choose from my suggestions would definitely be getting a barbacoa taco, a sautéed shrimp taco, and a chori-queso taco with any of the drinks! All in all, I had a good time here and would rate my experience a 3.75/5.

    Coming from CA I had high expectations especially since I know it's Hispanic owned. I took one bite and threw it away it was so greasy and no flavor! Thought the chorizo would give it some Flavor but it didn't!

    What a great find!!..Found this joint in route to The Hill of Life for a hike and it was just what we needed...Super friendly service and ample seating...Large menu with plenty to choose from...we both picked Chorizo, egg and Cheese and Bacon, egg and cheese..2 of each..at first we thought they were a bit pricey...but these are some fat tacos...piping hot...perfectly charred tortillas and some kickin good sauce...wife couldn't finish hers..so I sacrificed my beach bod and scarfed the last couple bite down...Lunch menu looks killer!!...Awesome visit!!

    Now THIS is breakfast tacos. During our girls trip we were on a quest to find the best tacos and confirm that Austin was truly known for breakfast tacos. Con Madre Kitchen affirmed it to us. Holy moly (or should I say holy mole?) - it's been maybe two months since we've been there and we still talk about these tacos. Had we known about it sooner, we probably would've woken up and come here every day for breakfast lunch and dinner. First off, cheers to customization! I can't have physical onions, scallions, or cilantro (sad), but I was able to pick items that would best fit my tacos given this condition. Even for the chicharrones specialty taco, I easily avoided the items I'm allergic too and heavy loaded on that red madre sauce. It was all so good I went back up to the truck to order two more tacos on top of the two I already ordered. They are ADDICTING but in the most wonderful way. Particularly loved my personal make your own of potato, egg, and ham. The ham was charred JUST right and made me want more. Another combo was beans, eggs, and chorizo. My mouth is watering all over again wow And if the tacos weren't enough, the drinks were on point too. Horchata and coffee? My friends called it absolutely perfect. For me I like fruity / juice like drinks so I had to go with the Jamaica which had the perfect taste to wash down these tacos. Go here. If you don't trust me after how much I've raced in this review and how much I'm now considering booking a flight back to Austin for these tacos, then I rest my case!

    Just returned post-Covid and tried the migas tacos on corn this time. It tasted fresh, especially the tortilla, but I didn't think it was worth the $$.

I was worried we might not get a table quickly, but we arrived at the perfect time on a Saturday and were seated immediately. We ordered a couple drinks, perused the menu and ordered the ceviche and street tacos and chicken tacos and everything was fresh and delicious. Our server was helpful, Attentive without hovering. My friend visiting had nothing but great things to say. Look forward to going back for brunch. Which is my typical go to there.

    I've been coming to El Alma for nearly 5 years now (according to my first review, I first came here…read morein November of 2026). During that time, it has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in all of Austin. I absolutely love the food and the rooftop patio that overlooks downtown/the park, and it will forever be somewhere I continue to go, especially during happy hour. I have tried every vegetarian item on their menu, and while everything is great, my personal favorites are: - cheese enchiladas with mole verde (I get this 99% of the time because they are my favorite enchilada in town) - the chile rellano (it's listed in the sides, but I promise you that it can be a meal in itself) - their rice (comes with many of their plates or inside of their enchiladas) is actually soooooo good and one of the things I look forward to - queso (nothing different about it, but it's just a really good standard queso) - flaquita (spicy watermelon margarita; I don't need to say more) - sangria blanca (super refreshing) Up until a few months ago, I would have given this place five stars, but I've noticed a decline in service that is making me knock it down to a four. For example, they used to give free chips and salsa the second you sat down, but the last three times, I've had to ask them for it (pro tip: ask for chips and salsa!!). I've also noticed slower and less attentive service. Overall, I still love El Alma, and when it comes to food and vibes, it has withstood the test of time. Everyone I introduce to El Alma falls in love (my sister visits me once a year, and El Alma is always on the agenda). Not only have I been coming here multiple times a year for the past five years, but I know I will be coming for as long as they are around.

Once you're inside, though, the whole operation runs with impressive efficiency. You order at the register, take your receipt, and hand it off to one of the taco guys behind the counter. As the sign says, "No Ticket, No Taco!" so don't lose it. Seating is limited and the line can get long, but they move fast. And don't come expecting cheese or sour cream -- the only add‑ons here are cilantro, onions, salsa, and guacamole. It's a stripped‑down menu, and they stick to it. The tacos are solid. The beef isn't anything remarkable, but the chicken is tender, moist, and genuinely flavorful. The quesadilla is the sleeper hit; the baked cheese gives it a deep, savory punch that outshines the tacos. And if you're hungry or just want the best value, the burritos are enormous -- stuffed right up to the tortilla's structural limit. A hidden little alley spot that delivers quick service, simple options, and reliably good food once you manage to find the door.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
