    Pozole
    Sophie V.

    Small little place but good authentic Mexican food. I had pozole and al pastor and barbacoa tacos. Barbacoa tacos were a little greasy and heavy but the pozole was on point and they give you a perfect portion- pretty big. Michelada was good. Service is good too. You order at the register pay and then you sit and wait. The music volume was pretty reasonable and not too loud. Overall, the place is clean.

    Food is really good! Love the tacos and quesadilla-you can pick the protein of your choice. Place is very small but feels very comfy. The portions are kind of small too (I got this as dinner) but it would be great for breakfast/lunch. The worker there was friendly and was able to make some suggestions on the menu.

    Tasty authentic interior Mexican food made with quality ingredients. A great find. It's my first visit. I had a quesadilla and a carnitas taco for lunch. It was so good, I bought a pound home for dinner. Recommended!

    Best Breakfast in Texas! Ribeye tacos. My dog loves the bone and marrow. Priceless home cooking!

    Pozole

    My sister recommended this place and raved about the Caldo de Res (Puchero). I was disappointed when I went to the establishment and was told they were not serving it that day. I ordered the pozole instead. This dish is served with crispy chalupas so request tortillas if that's what you prefer. I requested corn tortillas. The prices are pretty steep. The pozole was BIG and flavorful. I like my pozole served with a lot of cabbage and sliced radishes. At Grill-Eria it was served with lettuce and radishes which was disappointing and unexpected. My friends ordered tacos and seemed to enjoy them. While the food was good overall, the prices were a tad steep. I would still go back to try the Puchero my sister raved about.

    As usual, tacos are really good. We got carnitas and barbacoa. We also got their tamales this time, they are moist and pretty generous with their fillings. We also met one of the owners and he was very nice. He mentioned that they'll be adding more upgrades and menu items later this month. Ambiance was nice and quiet when we went.

    Love this home cooking so much, we have a standing weekly breakfast order! Their burgers are juicy & delicious as well as their traditional entrees. Everything made with love - everything is super tasty.

    Sufficient portions, and very clean place

    Just got back here and o had to try other things. The Ribeye tacos are a showstopper, and the Pozole was incredible too. I really like the new layout and appreciate the very prompt service. Sorry I didn't take more pictures, but it looked too delicious to wait!

    We just went for date night and it was delicious! Very authentic Mexican, not Tex-mex-y at all. We got tacos (carne asada, pastor, beef birria, and barbacoa), a carne asada quesadilla, guac, rice, and refried beans. The carne asada was my fav (closely followed by the birria) and my husband LOVED the pastor. Everything was so good! The lady was so friendly and helpful, explaining the menu, showing pictures and giving examples of each dish. She was bilingual and made sure to ask our preference. Food came out quickly and steaming!

    Tacos with grilled onions were so freaking food.

    The service was amazing. The owner explained everything to us very patient while my twins ordered. The nice was superb.

    My husband and I love the tacos and soups, as well as the pineapple lemonade and have become regulars at this place. The staff is very friendly and attentive, always suggesting new dishes for us to try. They still seem to be working on their interior and backyard - We can't wait for summer to return so we can try bringing a group of friends and sitting outside.

    CHICHARRÓN
    Mel T.

    I will 100% be back! The best darn chicharron, only served on Saturdays so you'd best come early!! The parrillada meat platter with carne asada and birria were tasty, the carne asada was a tad overcooked and chewy but in general all super flavorful. My family couldn't stop raving about their burritos and breakfast tacos. The chilaquiles were delicious. I highly recommend you come to this delicious Mexican food (not Tex-mex) joint where you'll not only get wonderfully tasty Mexican food but also good service with a smile, it was fantastic. The location is super casual and kept clean. Parking is limited.

    Chilaquiles plate $18 1/4 of the portion showed on Instagram. Barely had any meat on top.

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!

Everything on the plate was outstanding, and I truly think they have the best mole in town--rich, complex, and unforgettable.
