    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Live mariachi band!

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

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

We started with their famous house Margaritas with Tajín, and they were absolutely delicious--and definitely strong in the best way.

For our main dish, we split the vegetable Enchiladas de Mole Poblano, served with rice and black refried beans. I wish the enchiladas had more vegetables. Everything on the plate was outstanding, and I truly think they have the best mole in town--rich, complex, and unforgettable. We were also celebrating a friend's birthday, and the staff made it extra special by surprising her with a complimentary Tres Leches cake, which was just as amazing as everything else we had.
