My boyfriend and I visited for the first time, and we loved it! Absolutely delicious! Every bite was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The food exceeded my expectations, and you can truly tell they care about quality. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding, friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

We had an amazing Sunday brunch at El Naranjo and everything was outstanding. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food in Austin, this place is a must-try. The dishes were beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients.

The service was excellent, Adan our server was friendly, and very attentive, which made the whole experience even better. The conchas were fresh and soft, and the café de olla was rich, perfectly spiced, and one of the best I’ve had in Austin — highly recommend ordering both.

Great atmosphere, great brunch spot, and perfect for a date or weekend outing. We will definitely be back and will be recommending El Naranjo to anyone looking for great Mexican brunch and coffee in Austin.

Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! First and foremost, our server Sarah was fantastic. The food was beyond amazing and the seasonal cocktail was delicious. This is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to.

What a lovely dinner on a Friday night. The vibrant flavors in the ceviche was sensational. The mole had a subtle complexity where we enjoyed every bit. A la diabla dish (not pictured) was the right spice level to where you could appreciate the flavor of each pepper ️. This is a lot of words to simply say – 5 stars.

I would highly recommend El Naranjo for special occasions or if you’re looking for an elevated Mexican restaurant that TRULY delivers, both in food and service.

My boyfriend and I have celebrated our anniversary and his birthday here, and each time they’ve made the experience feel genuinely special. The staff is incredibly kind and thoughtful; they surprised us with complimentary champagne for our anniversary and ice cream with a candle for his birthday.

The food is consistently excellent. I especially love their salsa macha and handmade blue corn tortillas. My boyfriend ordered the pozole verde from their monthly Guerrero special, and as someone native to Guerrero who has had pozole my entire life, I can confidently say it was top tier. I’ll definitely be back for it myself. I’ve also had their mole verde, which was equally delicious. The drinks are strong, vibrant, and beautifully balanced.

This restaurant offers an authentic Mexican dining experience, with incredibly friendly staff and delicious food. It’s also quite vegetarian-friendly. We tried the chocolate tamales with marigold ice cream, and they were absolutely amazing.

I’ve eaten dinner AND brunch here, and both were fabulous. For dinner we tried the ceviche and empanadas to start, and the halibut a la diabla and one of the seasonal/special moles with halibut as our mains. I’d recommend it all. You can’t go wrong with traditional Oaxacan mole prepared by a James Beard award winning chef.
For brunch we started with the vanilla pan dulce, made in-house, because I wanted to dip it in my cafe de olla. It’s a must. For mains we had the huevos rancheros, huevos benedictos, and the chilaquiles divorciados with over-medium eggs. All were delicious. The atmosphere is great, the decor is modern and minimalist yet relaxing, and their authentic tableware compliments the presentation of the food. The service is impeccable. Your water glass is never empty and the servers are so knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. Caesar is amazing and will take the best care of you.

Incredible food. Wonderful, all made from scratch. Meat and sauces were incredible. I had a cocktail, it was delicious and light. Can’t recommend highly enough, will be back.

Gerry was the perfect waiter, and was so helpful in choosing the right meals for us. His recommendations were spot on.

El Naranjo’s food is always excellent. Their menu often features drinks and dishes inspired by specific states in Mexico. I’ve had and enjoyed their dinner before (highly recommend the filete and house-made ice cream), but this was my first time having brunch. The queso fundido (with handmade corn tortillas), ceviche and huevos benedictos were all impressive. I definitely scarfed down the queso before managing a photo (oops). And I definitely couldn’t go without a jar or 4 of their salsa macha. They do ship, but I still tend to purchase extra whenever I’m in Austin.

Unremarkable surroundings showcase average tasting food. Pork was a 4-5 star but duck gamey and not prepared well. Drinks are pricey even for Austin. Waiter was very sweet but novice at best.
