First time here (although we ordered delivery during Covid - it was bad). I usually hit up Azul for interior flavors but the party wanted to try something new. Moderately busy on a Saturday night but we were greeted and seated right away. We caught the last few minutes of HH (on a Saturday?) and took advantageous of some house margs. Nicely made! Salsa is okay. I prefer it by the bowl, not the weird saucer thing they serve it in. Made a mess. Sorry. Queso was a little flat. I really enjoyed the chicken enchiladas verdes. Thanks for putting the sauce on the plate rather than drowning the enchiladas in it! Kid enjoyed her chicken flautas and the Boss was okay with the street tacos (Al pastor). Rice and beans (refried and black) were good. Service was friendly and efficient and everything is well priced. We'll add HEM to our rotation. read more

I wish I had taken pictures. We ordered two fajitas for 2, for $40 each. The massive amount of peppers and onions they gave us was ridiculous. However the amount of meat was enough for fajitas for 1. We ordered chips and salsa and the bag of chips was also a joke. The small paper bag wasn't even halfway full. And the salad we ordered had the dressing on it and yal, when I say it was in a soggy lake and inedible, I'm not exaggerating. This place was recommended to us but I definitely would never order to go here. I'm a reasonable person, but maybe the worst $130 over ever spent on food. read more

Hecho En Mexico has such a good vibe, comfortable, colorful, and just a really nice place to hang out with family. It feels relaxed but still lively in a good way. The food always comes out fresh and full of flavor. The tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas all hit, and the chips and salsa are always on point. The service is friendly and they take good care of you. It's become one of our regular spots because the vibe is great and the food never disappoints. read more

My husband & I try to do business with small businesses but they make it impossible when they charge a convenience fee and the chain restaurants don't. On top of that we were the first ones in the restaurant tonight but 2 other groups were served before us. I asked for a glass of ice that never came. My husband had to go to the bar to get it. We won't be going back if this how they treat their customers! read more

Very authentic Mexican food nestled in a small strip mall- easy and free parking. What a nice find! The margaritas were good but the sangria had an unexpected ( and not listed ) ingredient- spicy tajin. I don't like spice and I didn't care for the seasoning. Kinda ruined the sangria I was expecting just fyi. The food was good and authentic- loved the quesadillas!! Our young server was lovely, and artwork on the walls were for sale and very good. read more

Gave it a try finally after 3 years of going by it every day. Awesome ambiance they got some awesome paintings for sale very beautiful!!! Food was pretty good went during happy hour was looking for some tacos a la cart but not much of a variety. Service was wonderful!!! I ordered from the happy hour menu !! A little pricey but what is not right now !! read more

We went before heading to a show downtown. There is parking on site. The atmosphere is very casual. The frozen margaritas are really good. They are served in metal cups and stayed chilly the whole time we were there. The salsa is really great and has just the right amount of kick. We had the queso flameado. It is served with tortillas. Don't get this confused with classic queso, which is thinner and meant for chips. This is thick, cheesy, and oh so good! I could honestly eat it with a spoon. The staff is attentive and were prompt with our food. They do have Tequila tasting events quarterly, I believe, so I am hope to catch one of those events sometime! read more

My first time at Hecho en Mexico and what a great pick in South Austin! Eduardo gave us fast, friendly service, the food was excellent, and the drinks were amazing, all at an affordable price. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back! Ranch waters so good! ‍ read more

The queso tasted like the normal store bought Velveeta and it was 9 dollars for a small to meduim size. The to go drink was roughly the size of a solo cup for 14 dollars. And the price was a little steep, even if it was good Mexican food. read more

First time visit for me and I had a pleasant experience. I stopped by with a friend for dinner on Thursday and to our surprise, there was live music - what a treat! It doesn't look much from the outside but it certainly has its charm - cute and cozy with polite staff. This location appears to be a local favorite as it was packed. As soon as a table became available, it was quickly filled with another party of guests. Everything ordered was delicious and we saved room for dessert - you must try the cuatro leches! Overall solid experience - worth the trip if you're new in town or visiting. read more

We have been going here for many years. Last week we went with our daughter and her family. The service was good although one of our orders was totally messed up. Besides that we found the food was just missing something. It was good but not up to the standard we had become used too. Also, it looked like they were getting ready to install a high television behind the bar. It would be a shame if they tried to turn this into a sports bar instead of a very enjoyable small restaurant. read more

Good interior Mexican style food. It's I would say it's on par with Fonda San Miguel. Do not come here if you're looking for 'Tex-Mex'. There are plenty of other options nearby for that style of Mexican food. But if you want a more interior style of Mexican food, in the South Austin area, check this place out! It's delicious! Service is always friendly, too. Sometimes, there's a wait, especially if it's one of their 'Tequila' tasting events. Look at their website to see when these occur. Good for lunch and/or dinner! read more

Ok. I really wanted to like the restaurant. Gave it a try again this by husband's urging. The service was slow. Burrito was bland and flavorless. Taco pastor just ok. Second time to go and food nothing to return for. Also charges a fee if use credit card. Similar experience several years ago. read more

Just some of the best authentic Mexican food in town. The mole is the best I've ever had anywhere!

First because it is a neighborhood restaurant, we walked to dinner and my route was shorter than my wife's choice to the meal by 6 minutes. So my Mole Poblano Pork Shank with black beans & rice was extra good. I celebrated with the La Hecho's Margarita with Tequila of the Centenario on the rocks & salt. My young daughter managed to break her child proof cup of milk and the staff was quick & attentive. The place after all these years still has the mojo for tasty authentic dishes. read more

This is our go-to Mexican spot for the last 3 years. The owners are amazing and friendly. The food is authentic and their mole is unmatched. You MUST try the Enchiladas de Mole--try them all but the Blanco and their new Rosa is our favorite. Margaritas are incredible. It feels like you are at home when eating here! read more

I'm lucky have them in the food. I was raised on Tex-Mex, New Mexican, and some interior Mexico food and this is one of the best all around Mexican cuisine places I've found in Austin. The customer service is just right and meals come out promptly. Menu offers a big variety and I haven't been disappointed with any choice. I rate the dining experience a 4.5. One person i Yelp complained about bad Happy Meal. Doesn't exist here as all meals are made from scratch and created for customer satisfaction. They will happily correct any mistakes. read more

Decided to try a new Mexican restaurant today. Hecho En Mexico came up in Yelp. Good choice! Friendly people, great food and fast service. We had enchiladas verde traditional and beef enchiladas & beef tacos, all good, all served with delicious refried beans & rice. Good music is playing in the background so we could have a conversation without competing like too many restaurants have now. This is not your typical Mexican food, it is more from the interior but give it a try, you will go back. We are already planning on what to order next time. read more

Very authentic, deep Mexico food. Not the usual Tex mex, thankfully. Greatest staff and owner, been around a long time in the oak hill area and it wouldn't be the same without y'all. read more

Everything!! The place has a GREAT vibe!! The menu is well-crafted in the vein of interior Mexican cooking. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable of the food and the assorted tequilas and mezcals. It's a do not miss whether a local or fellow traveler! Do yourself this favor!! read more

First time trying this place the other day with the husband. It's a cozy lil restaurant that is clean with an inviting aroma. Chips and Salsa - good thin chips. The salsa served on a spoon which was cute. This salsa tasted of dried chilis, not what I am used to but good none the less. I ordered the cheese enchiladas with verde sauce. I love the cheese they used in it, warm and gooey. The verde sauce had a great flavor - just wished they were more sparing with it. The husband got the Beef tacos which he enjoyed a lot. The rice was light and fluffy and seasoned well which was nice. The refried beans, a bit on the bland side though. We had good customer service and a pleasant experience. We will be back for sure. read more

Came in here Thursday the 15th before close. Ordered my food over the phone. I walked to the point of sale with the bartender. She runs my phone for Apply Pay and either she decided to leave herself a $60 tip in addition to the tip I left her, or the restaurant double charged my card and is refusing to contact me again about it. I spoke to a woman on the phone who said a manager would contact me and reverse the charge. They have not. Given the reviews I highly doubt they are even going to reach out to me. My advice to you, is if this happened to you. Call the police and file a report like I am. This is theft and the management and ownership really don't care. read more

Been coming here for 5 years now and love this restaurant. The enchiladas are my favorite and anything with mole is my husband's. Every time my family visits we take them here and they get the chiles rellenos every time. Sometimes they have live music which can get a little loud but most of the time it's a very chill vibe with good food. read more

First time at Hecho and ordered off the happy menu. Pricing was good for appetizer menu and service was good. Not the best mexican food I have ever had. We ordered a top shelf mexican martini and a few appetizers and the bill for each of us was $37. Got the bill and realized they charged us each an extra $8.00 per drink for a "better tequila" when the actual drink was a top shelf. A $20.00 drink plus a charge for a "convenience fee" for using a credit card. Will not be returning. read more

I heard this was a good interior Mexican food place so we tried it for dinner. The wait staff was very attentive and offered suggestions. We had the beef enchiladas and they were good but not our favorite enchiladas. My salmon Veracruz was good but the fish was over cooked. The vegetables were good. read more

there was only one customer when I arrived by mysel, the waitress greeted me and 2 minutes later a party of 3 walked in after me, the waitress went and took there order and did even asked me if i wanted to order a drink or anything so I just walked out without even saying a word. Bad for their business. It could have been because I was a Hispanic and the other party were Anglo, who know, I'll leave it up to your opinion. read more

Service was good but the food was nothing special yet still expensive. They add a convenience fee to your bill for no reason as well.

Of you are thinking of visiting. DON'T! Ordered delivery at an extra cost, received only a partial order - missing a mix ceviche - so I called to complaint and the person who answered made an excuse about why it was incomplete and told me to fuck off before hanging up. I am short a ceviche, ($20 ), hungry and wondering if they spit on the food also. Never again. read more

Good margaritas. Free chips and salsa. Friendly service. They have a few tables outside that are pleasant when the weather is amenable.

From the moment the salsa hit the table, we knew we were in for a treat. Service was excellent, despite a party of 12 was seated just after us....we were still very well taken care of. The food was outstanding, and personally feel they could get away with a much bigger place, based on the quality of the food.... but it was cute and clean....As mentioned the salsa was a new flavor to us, which is rare....a bit sweet with a nice punch of heat...and extremely addictive. We also rolled with the Queso Flameado with Chorizo....was very tasty, with fresh flour tortillas....Also tried the Cigarros de Puerco (Flautas with Pork)....Crispy and Delicious.... Wife went with the Beef Chiladas with Chipotle Crema....Beef had stand alone flavor, sauce was creamy with a bit of heat and overall made for an excellent bite of food. I went the route of the Banderas Chiladas with pork (which more places need to offer, its rare to find and I Love it) with 3 sauces, rice and Black beans....As stated, the pork was ridiculously good, beans were top notch and we both agreed the rice was fresh and very good. Will definitely land on our permeant list with a second visit. The have a Enchilada Mole sampler I just have to try. Great First visit! read more

We had ordered take-out from them a couple times during the pandemic. The food is always great. The atmosphere of the restaurant is casual and fun. Everything we've ordered has been really good. Particularly, a spicy soup, enchiladas in mole sauce, and the salad. Yum! Can't wait to go back! Make sure to go early before dinner rush. It can get super busy. read more

First thought of walking into this place it's so tiny very squeezed together they seat us next to where all the food is coming out and dinged us a few times. We were very understanding that it's a Friday night and very busy. We get our food and it was very mediocre! NOT AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD AT ALL! The chili relleno was just cheese they plopped on a plate melted and put the chili on top and drenched it with sauce. It wasn't even battered!! The queso was velveta cheese GROSS! There flautas are a joke they were basically soggy enchiladas. We grab our tab after finishing and notice a service fee. I asked our waiter what is this? He said it's because you're using a credit card. I said no sir you can not do that and charge customers for a service fee that is 100% illegal in the state of Texas he told me he'd remove it and spoke with his manager. This unprofessional manager comes up to me SCREAMING telling me it's not illegal and they can do that. He kept talking over me and said I'll give you all my information if you want to report me I'll give you my driver license and making a big deal out of it. I told him sir you're making a sense and I asked for it only to be removed and he said ok. I showed him the image of it stating it is illegal and he had not one word to say once he read it. Once we paid we got charged double and we were asking for it to be fixed he said it won't return until I close our batches for tonight and started arguing again. Stating he'd give us $150 in cash and we can come back tomorrow and give him the money back. I was so confused and disgusted by this place I just wanted to run for the door! Poor customer service poor food / quality. Poor drink choices. Don't go here and support people who don't have good intentions on keeping customers happy. read more

First service was attentive and knowledgeable. Excellent. Interior was awesome in an unassuming shopping center. Very nice. Suggest complimentary chips to be seasoned with sea salt as they didn't have much taste but were of high quality and non-greasy. Salsa had the appeal of a hot pepper condiment. While good, not exactly your run of the mill table salsa. The Platon de Enchiladas de Mole was what I most wanted to try while the pictures and reviews looked great. However, these moles were very unusual and lacked the intense, earthy, sweet/savory depth and totally different than the silky smooth moles of great dishes. The moles were oddly not strained and resembled a slightly thickened broth again under seasoned. The mole blanco with shrimp was simply not well executed with blanco sauce weird texture of dairy and the shrimps were small and gummy, not very warm. The mole poblano was the best of the 3 but lacked the depth of a great mole. The shredded chicken was plentiful but again wasn't that warm. The Mancha Manteles with pork just wasn't all that tasteful. Maybe it's some sort of other traditional version of interior cooking, but not recommended. If you're looking for cheese, these enchiladas didn't have any or much at all. Again, love the service and all. It's just different than what I was expecting. read more

Have passed by through this place many times and wanted to try it out so stopped by. Really wanted to like this place but it seems it lacks a lot of things. First we ordered water with no ice, server stills brings with ice and later says will replace it but forgets entire time. Second their sala is like one straight from Costco which is a major negative for me at any Mexican place. For food we ordered Buenos do coliflor which is basically fried cauliflower and it was very bland. We asked for some more drizzle of sauce for which they charged us $3 more which is insane and after that too they brought it with wrong sauce. I would say don't waste your money on this one. Veggie Enchiladas were okay too. Had better before. Only good things was soap arzana which was more spicy than usual but we liked it. I would pass on this one. read more
