    Trio of al pastor, chorizo, and lengua tacos.
    Rick S.

    Wow! This was an unexpected find but a happy one. Stopped in to try out the tacos and was very pleased with the amazing selection of taco proteins and a decent menu overall. The storefront is definitely vintage but the food and service are awesome. I ordered a trio of tacos: al pastor, chorizo, and lengua (tongue), which I hadn't had since I lived in Chicago. All of the meat was nicely cooked, tender, juicy and flavorful. Highly recommended.

    I went by surprise as i saw a lowkey taco spot as i drove by. i had a different impression since the menu pictures here are outdated. Nonetheless, i got myself two tacos, one al pastor and another carne asada, as well as a sope with beef fajitas. i was left pretty satisfied, but parched since i thought there were going to be drinks, but only a fridge with generic drinks.

    Note: This review is for their new north location on Pond Springs After a lovely Sunday of buying awesome Mexican Metal yard art with which to adorn our fences and deck, the hubs and I were craving some serious Mexican eats! We found La Montana here on Yelp, and away we went! First, I just have to pay homage to that INCREDIBLE (and strong!) frozen margarita that we had! I opted for a large, and it was. Hubby and I shared it, and we both felt like we were whisked straight back to Cancun! Seriously delightful, and not too sweet! Equally delightful were the chips and salsa! The chips there are reminiscent of Houston's legendary Ninfa's on Navigation, if you're familiar with that yummy place! Thin and crispy! And that salsa? Beyond fresh and bright, y'all! We could have easily polished off two or three baskets with a vat of salsa! On to the meal: My husband had the Tinga, the Asada, and the Trompo tacos, just to get a feel for the place, and he was BLOWN away by the deliciousness and the authenticity of each of them! He said that he could easily imagine himself buying them from a street vendor in Mexico, which is the highest compliment! What makes them even more special is the gorgeous and warm handmade corn tortillas that they arrived in. Topping them with a bit of that aforementioned salsa made them just that much more dreamy for him! If you thought that my husband was losing his mind over the tacos, it was officially BLOWN by La Montana's Caldo de Res! Suffice it to say that HE LOVED IT! Caldo is his jam, and this one was simply the best that he's ever had. He called it stupidly crave-worthy and absolutely perfect. Full stop. You can trust him on that, if you're the caldo sort! Go grab some ASAP! As for me, after that enormous rita and all of those chips and salsa, I opted for just one Beef Fajita Taco with a side of crema, and it was AWESOME! I could totally see what hubs was talking about with his taco love! It was legit! Speaking of legit, this is authentic Mexican food, which is definitely what we were looking for! If you're looking for that oozy, gooey, cheesy Tex Mex-style Mexican food, you might want to hit up Matt's, but, if you're down to take a stroll through Mexico proper, gastronomically-speaking, hit up La Montana! You'll love it! The price is right, too! No downsides! Only ups! They're relatively new at this location, so they could definitely use your patronage, particularly during these times! Go grab a margarita, and say hi to our adorable server, Leniel, while you're there! Cheers, y'all!

    Bacon, egg, cheese and grilled jalapeños on a flour tortilla. So dank.

    I've been looking around for the best breakfast tacos in this area and landed on La Montaña. Homemade tortillas with a perfect flavor stuffed with bacon, egg, cheese and grilled jalapeños is what gets me moving in the morning. Highly recommended this place. Don't let the appearance full you. This place slams. Note to owner... If you painted your sign, you'd get more business. Keep up the amazing cooking because you've now become my favorite Mexican restaurant in town!

    Ever come across a place and wondered how come I missed this while browsing....I had to go to the first review and its been open since 2017...after our Breakfast Taco outing, I though about how much I have missed out. These Tacos are excellent!!....Scratch made flour tortilla all day....We both had the same....Chorizo, Egg and Cheese and a Bacon, Egg and Cheese...You dont expect much on presentation when getting BT to go, but this place is different. Served flat on a tray and covered with foil...Looking at it made them all that much better. Permanent Book mark for this place.

    Pastor, pastor, carnitas, tinga
    Patrick C.

    I did it. I came back when I visited Austin again. Damn was it worth it! The tacos were just as good as I remember, though the prices have (reasonably) increased a bit. Still very affordable though, especially when compared to larger, less-delicious, gentrified tacos you can find at places that rhyme with "Porchy's Pacos." The pastor tacos remain the undefeated champ, but the carnitas and tinga tacos also earned their spots in the winners' circle.

If it starts raining too, oh buddy, what a nightmare…read more Eventually you'll make it to your destination and if it's half as good as El Alma, it'll be a sigh of relief. 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

As someone who's been cooking Mexican cuisine for decades, it's very difficult to properly assess how balanced those chiles will turn out. The pork chop was also unreal. We ate every bit off the bone. We live in NYC and eat nothing but great meals. This place is a standout for us in ATX. Can't wait to come back here when we are back in Austin.
