I like to support local restaurants. I have been coming here for a couple years. I have tried the enchiladas and they were not good. I have tried the beef fajitas and they were not good either. The breakfast tacos are good if you eat it there. I went there after 11:00 am and that is the first picture you see. The second pic I ate there and it was so much better! The third picture is my receipt shows I put no tip (I always tip cash). When I checked my credit card statement one of the waitress added a $2 tip. Make sure you take a picture of your receipts and check your credit card statements!

The best little Mexican restaurant this side of the Rio Grande River. We really loved the Saturday special, 2 cheese enchiladas, refried beans, potatoes ,with two eggs on top. Big thanks to our waitress that was ready for anything.

Texmex classics in a quaint, straight-to-the-point atmosphere. Everything I’ve tried has been pretty good but the standout that put La Familia on my regular rotation is the migas & carne guisada combo plate, along with decently strong coffee (for drip anyway). If there’s a better carne guisada in Austin, I’ve yet to find it.
HOWEVER: Do not be taken in by the queso. They do not use the Land O’Lakes Extra Melt American Cheese used by Kerbey, Matt’s, Torchy’, etc. It’s more of the liquid-cheese-sauce-from-a-can “enjoyed” throughout the stadiums of our great nation.

The food here is great! The wait staff is quick and on point. The red and green salsa are delicious. The prices are very fair to say the least. *And they give Fire and Police a great discount** Definitely recommend coming to try this place.

Great food and service, the Street Tacos are my favorite along with the chips and salsa they give you when you done in. They have an awesome lunch special, the food has never disappointed.

We can’t get enough of this place! They offer daily specials—not just at lunch—and there are drink specials every day too.
The photo on the left shows the Friday Special, which includes one enchilada, beef fajitas a la Mexicana, rice, and charro beans. The photo on the right shows the Sunday Special: a small bowl of menudo and two barbacoa tacos.
Prices are reasonable, the food comes out quickly, and the staff are efficient and friendly. Highly recommend!

I’m from Houston, and I need to go back because what was that.
If Austin’s goal is to stay weird, they’re achieving it with what I just ate.
If the hospital served Mexican food, that’s what it would taste like.
If you want to get diabetes, stop off here because everything is dipped in sugar. Their enchilada sauce, beans, and fajita.
My taste buds are offended.
Waitress was great though.

Yes this is a 5 Star review. It’s been over 10 years that I have been coming to La Familia for my Tex Mex cravings. Never have I ever regretted choosing La Familia over any other Tex Mex restaurants. Thank you La Familia!

This place is amazing, the food is the best texmex in Austin IMO as a resident of 41 years. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious
and the portions are huge, breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is an absolute gem of a place in South Austin.
