    Gorditas
    Carolyn R.

    One of my favorite places to go to when in South Austin! ANYTHING on the menu is delicious so you can't go wrong with anything you order! We had the gorditas, asada fries and their famous rolled tacos! We paired it with red beers (micheladas)! The service and vibe is amazing as well!

    Loaded nachos
    Dexter V.

    Tried out El Perrito with my wife and a friend, and honestly, it was a fun and tasty surprise--especially for a hot dog spot inside a Mexican joint. We ordered the loaded fries and loaded nachos to start things off, and both came out looking like total crowd-pleasers. Flavor-wise, they hit the spot--cheesy, spicy, and fully loaded. The only knock for me was that they got soggy pretty quickly, which made them tough to enjoy by the end. Now, onto the hot dogs--which are the real draw here. I went with the Dogstin and so did my buddy, while my wife had the Chuco Chili Dog. All of them had a unique twist--definitely not your standard ballpark dogs. The buns were soft, toppings were creative, and the balance of flavor and heat was solid. Also worth mentioning: this place is super friendly on the wallet. You get a full, flavorful meal without breaking the bank. Service was quick, and the vibe was laid-back--great for a casual bite with friends. Would come back, but maybe skip the fries and nachos unless they find a way to keep them crisp. Still, a cool little spot doing something different, and doing it well.

    This is exactly what I've been looking for a way to satisfy my El Paso cravings! The rolled tacos in sauce were absolute perfection, and the crinkle-cut fries were delicious and a very generous amount. The horchata was a sweet, homemade surprise that tied everything together. The restaurant has a cozy, easy setup where you order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table no long waits for a server. The space is kept clean, with great music and a couple of TV screens adding to the place. My only complaint, but is it even a complaint! I just wish they weren't so far south! But every time I'm in the area, this will definitely be a must-stop.

    Rolled tacos
    Elle K.

    Great place for some cheap margs and delicious El Paso style food! You order at the bar and your food comes out pretty quickly. They have lots of different fun drink options and great weekday food and drink deals including a taco Tuesday deal on the rolled tacos and tequila shots. The rolled tacos in the salsa and the fries were my favorite! Followed closely by the crispy tacos and flautas. The spicy red salsa that comes with the flautas was perfection. A band called Madisons is playing here every Tuesday in June 2025 and it's a great time! Highly recommend for south Austin peeps and I'd say worth it for a trip down here for the north peeps!

    Crispy beef tacos, ordered extra cheese for $1

    I've been looking for shredded beef tacos and taquitos since moving here in 2012! They use Anaheim peppers for their relleno! Poblano peppers don't cut it! My new favorite restaurant in Austin!

    Chicken Flautas

    Saw this place come up in my IG feed and immediately knew I had to surprise my significant other with a taste of his hometown comfort food. I rarely ever venture south or to this area of town, but the drive was well worth it. The food was simple, but delicious. Definitely worth the drive and the calories.

    Tried the menudo here and it was really good--El Paso style, served with bread instead of tortillas. Honestly, some of the best menudo I've had! The place also serves hot dogs, and I'm definitely coming back to try one. Worth the visit. Have a 3 cause it was solid. May go up if it hits next time.

    Red beer with SOL.
    Sujey L.

    This place is so delicious! I ordered the ELP Tacos and the ELP fries and everything lived up to my expectation! I also ordered the Red Beer (My first time having one) and it was so GOOD! I paired it with the Beer SOL. I normally drink Micheladas and the taste was very comparable. I would recommend this place to anyone especially if you are from EL Paso. The customer service was great! It was my first time here and everyone was welcoming, kind and helpful when I was ordering. I went on a Sunday evening and there was no line the food came out very quickly. I will be going back again especially when I have family come in from Out of Town.

    My first time eating El Paso style tacos. Tasty and definitely different than any tacos I've ever eaten in Austin. Everything is made fresh and they even make their own taco shells. This establishment grew from a food truck to where they are now in a brick and mortar and it's understandable why it's survived.

    Carne asada tacos
    Rafael G.

    Tonight I got a West Texas Mexican food fix! The restaurant is in the corner of a strip mall. The vibe is hole in the wall and the food is delicious. I ordered at the counter but I think there's table service too. Here's what we had: Chuco combo #2: They're flautas drowning in red sauce and cheese. You from ELP? They're like Chico's but not exactly. Delicioso! Carne asada tacos: good flavor, topped with an avocado slice. Green Chile on the side with a lime . Perfecto! Gordita- This isn't on the menu. Follow them on IG to find out when they have them. This is top 3 I've ever had in my life! The breading is soft yet crunchy and somewhat sweet. You must try it! I'll be coming back for more. Trust me.

    Tucked away in a building across from Popeye's, this charming little restaurant doesn't have a wide…read morevariety to choose from--but what they offer is pretty special and definitely worth a visit. I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.

    I personally don't eat breakfast tacos usually, but the breakfast tacos here are delicious. Out on…read morea whim, happen to drive by and saw this place. Decided to come in and the cashier greeted us and was really nice and patient because of questions with the menu. The Taco Bueno is what I had ordered and requested no potato. Sat down and after a few seconds, chips & salsa was delivered. Then after a few minutes, the food came. Quick service for sure and the food, AMAZING. Anyone reading this, try this place out and if u like it, come back! Cuz we are for sure =D
