    Weekly specials
    Eddie K.

    I think this place should deserve way more stars and recognition than it is! Came here on a Tuesday night and there weren't a lot of people so we were sat down quickly. The service is really good, the server refill out chips, salsa, and water consistently. We got the tres amigos and a weekly special dish - both have large portion and are delicious! I really enjoyed their beef tacos with bell pepper, full of flavour. We finished up with a pumpkin flan - I normally do not like pumpkin but this is def an exception! The flan is really fluffy and soft, not too sweet as well! Love the presentation. The restaurant has good ambiance with a lot of Latino decorations. The price is very reasonable and I think it's worth it. Will def come back in the future.

    Chicken Avocado Fajitas

    Service has always been consistently great, prompt, and friendly. Food is great every time. Highly recommended.

    Loved every bit of it. The service was great, they were fast. The ambiance is good, some of the corners probably need a little more lighting. The food was amazing. The complimentary chips and salsa were delicious. The salsa is in the spicier side and reminded me of the habanero salsa we had in Mexico. The chicken ranchero is one of the best I have tried in Austin. The meat was juicy and very well flavored.definitely going to recommend this place.

    I really appreciate the service we receive here. I come regularly with a large group, and the restaurant accommodates us easily. Our chips and salsa stay filled, our food comes readily, and we are never pressured to leave. The grilled and fajita chicken are seasoned well. Vegetables are fresh. Love the different sauce options. They have good in-house cocktails, but bring a designated driver because you may find yourself overibiding.

    Classic House Rita & Passion Punch  1st round!

    Just arrived, 1st round, so far so good. Good service so far! a little pricey, but the drinks were effective. The food is good that cheese enchilada with the chili sauce were delicious. The beans had great flavor. The rice had good flavor. Their chips are pretty good. We ate like three bags of those. The quail poppers were extremely hot, but it's because I left the seeds in the jalapeño. I'm a lightweight I guess. Would go back to try something different.

    Chimicangas! Look at the portion size.

    This spot is nice, but it can be seriously hit or miss. I've had excellent service while the place was packed, the food comes out hot and delicious. I've also had real slow service with mediocre food that comes out lukewarm. It really depends, but I have no idea on what. Consistently though? Friendly staff, clean space, great atmosphere, nice drinks, and a solid quesadilla. So on those alone we keep coming back when we're in the rare mood for TexMex. It's incredibly casual, but I've never felt out of place the few times I happened to be dressed up while going here. It's nearby and can typically handle groups so it's good for a hang out spot. I've heard great things about the tortilla soup but as a vegetarian I can't say for myself. Service staff are all friendly and helpful and willing to double check on things dietary restrictions if you need them to. Husband and I will drop in again from time to time, but it's not really a place we would go out of our way for.

    Stuffed avocado dish. Disgusting

    Ordered stuffed avocado plate. Disgraced of Tex mex food industry. Do not recommend this place. Wouldn't feed this food to an animal.

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

As someone who's been cooking Mexican cuisine for decades, it's very difficult to properly assess how balanced those chiles will turn out. The pork chop was also unreal.
