    Guacamole

    Just outright disappointment. Ordered through Uber eats and my guacamole came with zero chips and was a soup like consistency. Enchiladas, rice, and beans were flavorless and not fresh. Very disappointed and would not recommend at all.

    Wonderful menudo with hominy! Tasted fresh and served hot with corn tortillas! We used uber so not sure on ambiance or service at the restaurant, but everything was handed to me clean and fresh in the containers!

    I ordered a shrimp burrito with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and everything. They gave me a burrito with refried beans that's it.

    The food was horrible. The people there didn't even know how to talk to me didn't speak one word of English. They only gave me 1/3 of my order and it was over $70 for two plates and I didn't get any sides. It was just the entrée I didn't get no rise. No nothing and my burrito was supposed to be filled with lettuce, tomato, and everything and shrimp. They literally filled it to the top with refried beans and then shrimp, it's the worst burrito I've ever tasted in my life didn't get no chips. No salsa no anything worst place I've ever been to in my life.

    Sneaky fee, after the fact.

    Terrible telephone order service, customer service bad, portion size is skimpy, price for what you get is not good. Really terrible with getting your sides in the bag and lots of things missing from the order. Sneaky credit card fees that they do not mention over the phone if your placing a telephone order. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else.

    Asada and Al Pastor tacos. Freakin amazing
    Louie T.

    If you are looking for awesome street tacos without being in a food truck on those rainy days, look no further. Los Jaliscienses is legit Mexican food and you get the full experience with the occasional mariachi band on the weekends. Their al pastor tacos are out of this world. Pair that with their green salsa and it's amazing. I also like their asada tacos too but I believe the al pastor is their specialty. Everything else on the menu is pretty good too but I come here mainly for the tacos. Yes they have chips and salsa and yes you can get horchata (which is really good btw) but this isn't your typical boring Tex Mex place. I've been coming here for a few years and their service and the quality of food has always been consistently good

    Chilaquiles!
    Christy P.

    My husband and I stopped in here for breakfast on our way out of Austin, and it was a pleasant surprise. A coffee, chilaquiles plate and one other plate (forgot the name) cost only $10. People are right when they say how cheap it is here! I had the chilaquiles and wow, that was tasty. I had the green salsa, which was tomatillo. There was delicious melted cheese, and some beans which appeared runny, but were actually great to dip the potatoes in, although they were a little skimpy on the potatoes. The coffee had a nice light flavor (not bitter), and my husband's plate of scrambled eggs mixed with jalapenos, onions, bacon on the side, and fresh corn tortillas, was yummy as well. I loved the three little salsa they brought out, especially the spicy, creamy green one...yum! Service was great, and they spoke perfect English. As long as you're not weirded out by dives near hotels that have funky architecture, it's definitely a great place to stop for breakfast.

    Still in search of finding some really good mexican food in Austin. The enchiladas with beef fajita meat were pretty good! Was not a fan of their tortilla soup at all though. It was 95% chicken and soggy tortilla chips and 5% broth. Never have seen it like that. My friend had the menudo and said it also wasn't very good. Lastly, salsas were good but found a bottle cap in one of them so didn't eat anymore after finding that.

    Mini Tacos

    Just wow. As traditional as you can get , it's a restaurant with more than 17 years of service. The mini tacos are the real deal, the carne asada is sooo good! Their prices are fair and their huge margaritas are just $8 and so delicious. I'll be back. If you haven't been, I recommend going to try real Mexican food made by a traditional family!

    Rachel I.

    I was a little shocked by the decor in the place, but if you are in Austin wanting to try authentic Tex-Mex, this is the place for you! I even tried authentic cactus. Everything is inexpensive and delicious. Check it out!

    Live mariachi band!
    Wesley W.

    I'm not gonna lie, this place is off on the side of the road next to a motel looking area, so I was a little apprehensive. Even after looking at a swimming pool near it with murky green water that hadn't been cleaned for years, we decided to check out this restaurant to try and get some authentic Mexican food. Man, was I glad we did. The store itself is super clean and cute, with a nice Mexican flair to it. After we sat down we were given chips with three different dipping sauces (all of them were absolutely delicious). We ended up ordering the super burrito and the burrito special. My mouth almost couldn't handle the awesomeness of this food. The super burrito was about the size of a small baby and was packed full of rice cheese chickens and lord know what other delicious spices. The chicken in both burritos was perfectly seasoned and incredibly juicy. The burrito special had a gravy that came on top and was also smothered with bright orange cheddar cheese. I couldn't have asked for a better sauce! This place is awesome. It's completely authentic Mexican food that is out of this world. Also, if you're lucky like us, you may get to see a live Mariachi band perform as well. Please check this place out. It's so worth it. I swear this restaurant could serve me some kind of burrito with a sauce that looked like the gross swampy pool water and I would guarantee it would taste good!

    Best fries I have had in a while.... yes french fries at a Mexican food restaurant..... I like that they offer variety! Fiancé and our co-workers always come here and he brought me for dinner! Great food and great prices!

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.

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.
