    Diablo with pastor
    M A.

    The plates have a lot of cheese. I love cheese, but it takes away from the flavor and I was afraid of getting sick. The waiter was not paying attention and got my order wrong. When I mentioned it he didn't apologize. He didn't check on us so I didn't get to tell him until we were leaving. Not interested in coming back.

    Mexican Burger with egg

    New favorite spot!! I brought my family here from out of town to try something new. Short wait on a Saturday afternoon but it definitely gets poppin' in here! The inside is so trendy and the servers were very helpful with breaking row the menu. I highly recommend the chilaquiles with the Longhorn sauce, it was so creamy and had the perfect about of spice with every bite. My family did say their plates tasted amazing so that made us very happy we all enjoyed it here. I'll definitely be back during the week to try more things off the menu!

    Chilaquiles Divorciados with 360 Chilakiller and Soco
    Andrew L.

    Came here on a Friday a little before noon. They were already pretty close to maxed out on seating. The space is fairly small so if youre coming near a peak time I wouldn't be surprised if you encounter a wait Id had this spot on my list for a while, chilaquiles feels like one of those dishes Tex Mex places all have the same one option available for, so seeing a place with such a wide variety of options really stood out. Given the volume of options going for the divorciados to try two flavors seemed like a no brainer. I went for the Smokey chipotle and mole and thought they were both great! Super flavorful with a nice, but not overwhelming kick. I added eggs because chilaquiles, but even without the egg the portion size was hefty. I definitely want to come back soon to try more flavors Overall this spot lived up to the hype and I couldn't recommend it enough!

    Los Chilakillers is a must try! The food is out of this world. The Chile con queso is a great starter as an appetizer. And the chilaquiles are next level. Great service as well. We're definitely going back!

    Tortas

    Chilaquiles Divorciadios With the Lamar (Mild Guajillo Sauce) and 620 sauce. The Lamar sauce was mild (as described) whereas the 620 was very spice forward for someone like me who doesn't eat much spicy food. It was tolerable but my mouth did tingle a bit! I appreciated that I was able to get my chilaquiles with no dairy (no cotija, Monterey Jack, or sour cream). A sad life without cheese but having places that understand food allergies really helps! Torta with 620 sauce for the chilaquiles inside. The tort had steak inside which my partner really enjoyed. The torta was MASSIVE! It was enough for him to save the rest of his torta to have for lunch (after already eating about half of it during breakfast) The waitress was very attentive and would come back often to refill the coffee. I didn't expect the charge for black coffee- so something to consider if you're headed here for breakfast and your coffee fix.

    620 Chilaquillas

    Came back after a few years around lunch time. The menu seems to have changed since my last visit. Not in items offered, but the physical menu. It was less descriptive and a bit more confusing than I remember. I ordered the 620 Chilaquillas with over medium eggs as a topper. The good coffee I was given was in a really big mug!! It was very good. The food came and it was absolutely delicious! You get some crunchy and some wet chips in an incredibly good red sauce... the melted cheese on top was fantastic! The beams were great and went well with the bolillo roll. Do yourself a favor and ask for some salsa.. delicious! The only issue I had was the REALLY LOUD MUSIC playing over the speaker... man too loud! It seemed weird enjoying my delicious Latino themed breakfast while listening to Brittney wailing about how she did it again!! Turn it down a little please. The servers were very nice and attentive!!

    Pastor crispy taco
    Jenn C.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, this place has to have the best pastor in Austin. Meaty and juicy. Yum. It's tucked away in a shopping center off 35/parmer. The taco is filled with pastor too, they don't skimp out. I love this place, it's small great music great staff.

    Green chicken Enchilada Dinner
    Bruce G.

    Great food and great service. The green chicken enchiladas were amazing felt like my grandmas cooking. The Server was amazing he suggested these since it was my first time

    Chorimigas

    I had heard about Los ChilaKillers from friends who highly recommended it, and I'm so glad I finally tried it out, it was one of the best experiences I've had! As soon as I walked in, I felt welcomed. The ambience was great! The host was attentive and cordial, and our server, Eliseo, was incredible from start to finish. There were so many great choices on the menu that I asked for his recommendations, and he took the time to explain different options, what they came with, and what customers usually enjoyed most. He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to care that I had a great first experience there. I decided to go with the Chorimigas based on his suggestion. I also noticed that Carne Guisada was on the menu and asked how it compared to a competitor's. Without me expecting it, Eliseo brought out a small portion for me to try so I could decide for myself, which really shows how much he goes above and beyond for his guests. I'm so glad he did! The carne guisada was delicious, if not better than the competitor's. The flavor was unique but still classic and comforting. Chef Mina heard my comments about the carne guisada and came out to introduce herself. I turned beet red, it was unexpected but very flattering! (I got a bit emotional as it was a rough morning.) She was incredibly hospitable and asked for my opinion and thoughts on the competitor. It was a brief but meaningful conversation about the dishes, and I truly appreciated her taking the time to connect. Eliseo remained attentive throughout the entire visit, checking in at the right times, making sure everything tasted great, and keeping a friendly, welcoming attitude the whole time. His service truly elevated the entire experience, and I can't thank him enough for going the extra mile. I highly recommend him!!! I even purchased a souvenir coffee mug because I couldn't leave without one! This truly made my morning!!! I'll definitely be coming back for the carne guisada. Highly recommend this amazing restaurant! ***** Había escuchado sobre Los ChilaKillers por medio de amigos que me lo habían recomendado mucho, y me da gusto haberlo probado finalmente. ¡fue una de las mejores experiencias que he tenido! Desde el momento en que entré, me sentí bienvenido. El host fue atento y cordial, y nuestro mesero, Eliseo, fue increíble de principio a fin. Había tantas opciones buenas en el menú que le pedí sus recomendaciones, y se tomó el tiempo de explicarme las diferentes opciones, lo que incluían y cuáles eran las favoritas de los clientes. Fue paciente, conocedor y realmente parecía importarle que tuviera una gran primera experiencia. Decidí pedir las Chorimigas basado en su sugerencia. También noté que tenían Carne Guisada en el menú, así que le pregunté cómo se comparaba con la de un competidor. Sin que yo lo esperara, Eliseo me trajo una pequeña porción para que la probara y pudiera decidir por mí mismo, lo cual demuestra que realmente va más allá por sus clientes. ¡Me dio mucho gusto que lo hiciera! La carne guisada estaba deliciosa, si no es que mejor que la del competidor. El sabor era único, pero a la vez clásico y reconfortante. La Chef Mina escuchó mis comentarios sobre la carne guisada y salió a presentarse. ¡Me puse rojo como tomate! Fue inesperado pero muy halagador. Fue increíblemente amable, me preguntó mi opinión y mis pensamientos sobre el competidor. Fue una conversación breve pero significativa sobre los platillos, y realmente agradecí que se tomara el tiempo de acercarse. Eliseo se mantuvo atento durante toda la visita, verificando en los momentos adecuados que todo estuviera bien y asegurándose de que todo supiera excelente, siempre con una actitud amable y profesional. Su servicio realmente elevó toda la experiencia, y no puedo agradecerle lo suficiente por ese extra esfuerzo. ¡Incluso compré una taza de recuerdo porque no me podía ir sin una! Definitivamente regresaré por la carne guisada. ¡Recomiendo ampliamente este increíble restaurante! (Used Google Translate)

    Always great! Food is always delicious. Service is great. The restaurant is small so there's usually always a wait, but always go with that in mind. Ambience is friendly and music is always on. Brunchy vibes. 100% recommend!

I was worried we might not get a table quickly, but we arrived at the perfect time on a Saturday and were seated immediately. We ordered a couple drinks, perused the menu and ordered the ceviche and street tacos and chicken tacos and everything was fresh and delicious. Our server was helpful, Attentive without hovering. My friend visiting had nothing but great things to say. Look forward to going back for brunch. Which is my typical go to there.

    I've been coming to El Alma for nearly 5 years now (according to my first review, I first came here…read morein November of 2026). 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.

We walked from the hotel and ended up eating here twice! I had the extra cheesy volcan tacos they were so good I could smell how they tasted when I walked in. The carve asada was a little salty but it didn't stop me from devouring them! If you come in down the alley like we did you'll walk through what looks to be a little bar area walk-through there and then follow the signs to find the tacos. There were some people walking in with small children as we were walking out and they looked confused walking into the bar and I showed them just keep going you'll find the tacos and then they laughed. Everyone inside was nice and very friendly they run a super efficient operation and it's very clean. Soon as someone gets up somebody cleans the table because somebody's already waiting for a table. The whole thing is like an assembly line you get in line you order you get in line you get your food you walk around the corner and you get a table. Keep it moving people! This is just an amazing taco place with some amazing people highly recommend if you are in the area to go for it. The second time we came back and got more tacos to go and had to pay for parking around the corner so I don't know that it's convenient unless you're walking because parking was really expensive over there I think we paid $20 for 15 minutes.

We weren't even fully through day #2 and were already sick of BBQ. He broke the seal first and suggested Mexican. I found Taqueria De Diez in my bookmarks, and dinner plans were set. This was one of those meals where I was walking out with a pep in my step because I got exactly what I needed. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla + two tacos: Campechana and adobada. I don't even know what my favorite thing was. They were all excellent. The only slight miss were the beans, which were kind of oddly watery. But everything else was perfect, including the jamaica agua fresca. I ended up returning the next night and ordered a carne asada burrito. I didn't love it quite as much, but this is still an easy 5-star review for me. Note: this is not the easiest place to find. You literally have to walk in between some big, orange road blockers (is that what you call them?), to enter an alley. You then walk into a small bar, and then from there, you enter the actual restaurant. It's like a taco speakeasy, and it's glorious.

    Haven't been here in a while (years). Make sure you have a reservation. Appreciate the free valet…read moreparking. Inside is as inviting (and busy) as ever. Arrived on time and seated on time. Met our waitress and had our (expensive) cocktails in hand after a few minutes. Ceviche app (special) was on point. Delicate and citrusy with just a hint of heat. COCHINITA PIBIL. That is all. It's all I ever order here. (Unless they have duck enchiladas). Better half's crab enchiladas (special) was on point. Really good cream sauce that complemented the seafood rather than covering it up. Service was exceptional. Prices were as expected.

    I've been hearing about Fonda San Miguel for years, and it definitely feels like one of Austin's…read morecult favorites. Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
