    Would give negative stars to this restaurant if possible. The waitress lie about several things and provided horrible service. Here a list of what took place: -3% surcharge if you use a debit or credit card - The waitress said that the menu says "that groups of 5 or more they charge 20% gratuity." Which it does not say based off the pictures presented below. -She claimed we were there before when we came from out of town for a work trip, and began to have an attitude. -Says she would not serve us alcohol (looks like the liquor license was taken away). -Argues that we all have to pay on one bill, and claims that it's on the menu. The picture below shows it doesn't. We wanted to support and make the most out of this business trip. Sucks that this was the experience we had for dinner. Please do better

    We haven't been here in ages. I had the fajita combo lunch special for $8.99. The food was delicious. Ask for the homemade corn tortillas.

    A great place to satisfy your craving. I was waiting in the area while my car was in the shop so first thing show up by Yelp was this place, i when in for breakfast I ordered the huecos rancheros for $8.99 and a coffee. The ranchero salsa different then the traditional they have their own way and test good but nothing spicy. The papas are great and the beans were delicious maybe because I love beans. My final bill was $12 and cents. The service is great & music is at the right volume so you can talk to your friends at the table without any issues.

    Mariana's Kitchen serves food that reminds you of your childhood. The food is delicious and the service is welcoming. I found this little jewel by accident and I have become a regular. The food is exceptional...You can't go wrong with your order.

    $12 chicken mole plate. This cannot be $12 worth of food.

    Paid a lot got a little :( the mole plate was $12 and I received a hint of rice and beans with a lot of mole and a mostly meatless mix of chicken bones.

    so good !! first time here but this is some tasty al pastor plate

    See all

    That rush hour traffic in Austin is lethal. 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

But the five stars is for the guacamole. The Chicken Pibil Quesadilla "Pizza" (chihuahua, cotija, oaxaca, smoked tomatoes, jalapeño, chimichurri, crema, epazote) was good, but the guacamole was stellar, and we are picky. It could have been the pomegranate or the pickled jalapeño or the red onion (all listed on the menu), but I really think they juiced a whole lime. It is like "try to replicate at home" good. It is like "best thing we ate in Texas this trip besides maybe those two slices of butter cake" good.

It was a Saturday night, and my friends in I were downtown looking for somewhere to eat. We found their sign down on the street and decided to try them. Immediately upon walking in, we felt unwelcomed. We waited 10 minutes at the front desk for someone to even address us, and then were told to wait while they cleared off a table for us. Twenty minutes later, we went back up to ask about the table and were actually told by the staff that they forgot about it. Finally a table was set for us and we sat down. We all ordered drinks and asked for water at this point. The water was brought, but we waited and waited for our drinks. After another 20 minutes and watching the bartenders (who were not busy this evening) make no moves to make our drinks, we got up and left. I have never had such an experience at a restaurant before. I guess if you do not have a reservation, you are unwelcome here.

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!
