    Ramos Family Starter
    Ken S.

    We loved the food! As others have mentioned, the creamy jalapeno dip is something unusual, and it's unusually good! My wife had the Ramos Family Starter (an appetizer as her meal), enjoyed it, and it was more than she could eat. I had Combination #3 - 3 different enchiladas, rice, and beans. Loved it! We've always noticed that service at most restaurants tends to be more dicey the less busy a place is, and this visit was no exception. Almost nobody there, and after waiting a while I had to go find someone to bring us a check. Not a big deal; in fact I guarantee we'll be back at the next opportunity.

    Nestled in the corner of a strip center directly on 620 you'll find this establishment. This place has been around for about a year as of this writing and there are currently 40+ reviews. Lots of people slapping down five stars, but there is a common complaint about the blandness of the food. On our visit, I'd probably give the heat index 2 to 3 stars out of five. I also noticed many yelpers failed to take any photos. They do have some pricey artwork on the walls for sale and a room upstairs for private parties. They also have a bar off to the side with 5 flat screens as well as outdoor seating. They have a decent number of drinks at the bar, although I did not spot any local craft beer. We were barely seated when the complementary chips and salsa along with a ranch dip hit the table. We started off with two frozen margaritas, which were good, but only about 8 oz in size. The two sauces that come with the chips had a decent amount of heat, just not over the top. We decided on two of their burrito plates, which were stuffed with plenty of meat. They definitely satisfied the Tex-Mex craving, and they even came with a garnish of one slice of jalapeño. We still had room for dessert so we opted for the fried ice cream which comes with sopapillas. The presentation was nice, although I've had better sopapillas elsewhere. When it's time to check out, you'll be getting that handheld device with the predetermined tips, but no summary of the charges. It's a place I'd come back to. Plenty of informative photos included.

    Grill On is tucked away nicely in a convenient strip center. We loved the bright friendly atmosphere but it was quite loud as the acoustics could use some work. We were seated promptly but had to wait awhile to be acknowledged. Table next to us set down after us but had drinks before we were even spoken to. Just the same, they were busy and we always allow grace. Once we were discovered Jacky, our server, was super sweet and very attentive. Mexican Martini, beef fajitas and queso were excellent. We will give it a whirl again.

    Combination #1 enchilada and chili relleno

    Service was great and they were all super sweet. Atmosphere is great, I love the music they play. The restaurant is ver clean. I would definitely recommend this place. I'll be back so I can try their drinks.

    Tortilla soup
    Angela H.

    Food is super fresh and made from excellent ingredients like corn fresh off the cob and handmade salsa. Fish taco was crunchy and delicious. Atmosphere is friendly and staff is very hospitable. Soup is served with cheese and tortilla strips separate to stay crunchy.

    Pork chop plate

    Very nice atmosphere, clean, good service, & FANTASTIC food! This place wasn't packed at all and I don't even know why.

    Ambiance
    Christopher N.

    Checked out this new spot in Lakeway, which is located in a small strip mall off of busy 620. The food was uniformly solid if short of dazzling -- but this is classic Tex-Mex, and it met my expectations. I really enjoyed the marinated fajita beef, but enchiladas came woefully under-sauced. Mind the salsa -- it's scorchingly hot. Margaritas were well prepared. Service is attentive and accurate, I had no complaints whatsoever on that front. If I'm going to ding Grill On for anything, it's the stark ambiance. Cold canister lighting makes the place feel like a hospital cafeteria instead of an inviting neighborhood restaurant. And the place is desperately in need of a little music -- and maybe some more decor aside from oil paintings on sale. If you're craving a taco and have $1300 to drop on artwork, this is your place! The food is solid enough to merit a return, but I'd probably eat outside next time.

    Grilled pork chop spiced perfectly with rice and black beans.

Everything was delicious and served quickly, even with the aforementioned dinner rush. 10/10 would order the same items again. I was so appreciative of the server splitting the entree over two plates without us asking. Did I mention the complimentary popcorn and cornbread? Twas a FEAST.

A few weeks ago I ordered from the same pollo Regio for delivery. They contradicted with a service but the order was over an hour late. After being on the phone with the store manager he supposedly gave me a full credit. I have tried to contact the Austin manager but can't find him/her. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!

I should've reacted to my first impulse when I walked in. Leave! Now! The booming, loud and annoying music was almost unbearable. I stayed and ordered the #3 lunch combination. The chips were good, but I much prefer a thinner white corn chip. The red salsa was very good; the creamy stuff was bland. The rice and beans were above average. The guacamole was a mess. It was bland, and the whole tostada--with guacamole, lettuce and chopped tomatoes--was slathered in something sweet and weird. I just pushed it aside. Excellent crispy taco shell, but the carne molida was dry, overcooked and disappointing. The cheese enchilada was awful. Wrong cheese. I prefer (correct) American, not cheddar. But it was good quality cheddar and not that stringy, bubble gum consistency stuff I run into occasionally. There was only a trace of what I assumed was supposed to be the chili con carne gravy (per the menu) so I requested more gravy which was thin, bland and somewhat tomato tasting, not chili con carne sauce. I ate the rice, beans, taco and a couple bites of enchilada--and left hungry. The service was outstanding.

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.
