    An Austin classic! Solid Tex Mex at a pretty affordable price. Breakfast portions are quite large. Fish tacos and queso are solid. Try the salsa sampler if it's your first time. Frozen marg during happy hour is $7. Friendly and helpful service. Worth a visit!!

    Chips & (Yummy Threesome) Salsa
    Corey R.

    Seriously underrated gem off the beaten path from the visiting hoards of Austin in Travis Heights. The Avocado Margarita is by far the healthiest way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. By default they bring a yummy threesome of salsas with your chips. That's before you even have a chance to try out the Birria Tacos.

    Been meaning to try this Austin staple for a while & finally got around to it. We came on a Sunday around noon and were seated immediately. Getting the menu, you can tell that this is not really a "hole in the wall" place, but more of an established location. The decor inside was very nice & colorful inside too. The biggest downside that we noticed was that they did not have complimentary chips and salsa (like you may come to expect at a more mom & pop type of Mexican restaurant). We weren't looking to pay for the whole salsa sampler (even though it did look interesting). The food was a mixed review for us - my partner really liked his plan chicken enchiladas topped with queso, but I was a little mixed on the shrimp enchiladas (with pineapple both on top of and inside the tortilla). However, we really did like the rice that came with our dishes.

    We came into Curra's the Monday after Grand Prix weekend when all restaurants seems overbooked. We were seated immediately for a late lunch around 1-2pm. Staff were very fast and attentive and explained the menu for us. This was very different than what we're used to with California-Mexican food. The spice level is intense, but we really enjoyed the bright flavors as well. The dishes might have been a tad too spicy for us, and we have decent spice tolerance, but we'd come back just to try more of their menu. I ordered the patos en mole tacos, and my dad got the cochinita pixel, both so flavorful and satisfying. We would definitely come back.

    This was my first time at Curra's but I will definitely be back! Our waitress was so kind and our food came out quick. We ordered the guacamole to start with and it was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the Pastor Enchiladas and they were so, so good. My friends ordered birria tacos and fajitas. Overall, such a great experience and can't wait to try more of the menu!

    I love it when family and friends visit Austin and we get together for a lite afternoon snack and beverages with authority. It has been awhile since I've been to Curra's and some friends were in town so I suggested that we meet at Curra's Grill, one of my favourite Mexican restaurants. I started off with a Cadillac Margarita. We munched on chips and salsa until the fried lamb empanadas, served with a chipotle cream sauce arrived. They were quite tasty but a little on the small side.  For my main course, I opted for the Cancun Relleno, poblano pepper stuffed with large shrimp sauteed with green bell peppers, pineapple and guajillo peppers and topped with chipotle cream and Monterey Jack cheese, served with rice and refried red beans.

    Really awesome Mexican Spot. The ambiance is fun and relaxed and the booths are super comfy. The chips were thick and actually salty, which is a surprising plus because usually the thicker chips don't deliver on flavor. The salsa was really good too. It was spicy without being painful. The enchiladas were delicious, service was fine. I look forward to exploring more of the menu. Only con was their takeout boxes were kind of weird to figure out, I guess I'm just not used to the kind that suction together.

    We got there about 4 PM on a Saturday and it wasn't crowded. We were greeted and seated on the dog friendly patio. It was nice with lots of shade and fans with misters! The server was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the delicious lamb empanadas and salsa sampler along with our refreshing avocado margarita. It was definitely a good idea to go early because it started getting crowded as we were leaving. Parking is somewhat limited also.

    I'm surprised this place has such low ratings. I wouldn't have known about this place, though it's apparently a classic, except a friend wanted to come here for the cochinita pibil. It was amazing... and not just the pork, but the plantains and even the black beans that came with it - and trust me, I'm not a bean guy. Service was decent, ambiance is that of a typical neighborhood restaurant, but the outdoor patio is great when the weather's nice. Weird thing is once we asked for a couple of extra flour tortillas to go with some leftovers once and they charged us like 20 cents for them... seemed penny pinching considering how much we'd spent on food and drinks. I wasn't supposed to write a review, Hope doesn't want this place to get crowded. It's definitely nice that we've been able to park in the parking lot when we come after rowing on Sunday mornings, but the cochinita pibil is just too tasty not to write about. I'm sure there are other menu selections that are just as good.

    What's the Yelp check in offer? has anyone redeemed it in 2018? I can't check in from 1500 miles away

    It's been a free soda for years now.

    Is the avocado margarita only frozen? I don't see any on the rocks ones in the pics... I love avocados and want to try, but I have sensitive teeth so I don't usually get frozen drinks.

    Well, as a former employee I know they are only frozen. They use the premade frozen margarita from the machine, put that in the blender with about a tablespoon of avacado and some cilantro. Voila.… Read more

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

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. 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. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

We started with their famous house Margaritas with Tajín, and they were absolutely delicious--and definitely strong in the best way.
