Delicious and innovative flavors, fun atmosphere, and great service! My friends and I found this place for dinner while visiting Austin. We lucked out last minute because a reservation canceled, so we got seating on the rooftop – that was a fun experience. We ordered the queso blanco y rojo (great!), the ceviche (great!), the ahi tuna ceviche tostada (I was so happy with this – lots of flavor!!), the sweet potato relleno (yum!), and the enchiladas (great!). We really enjoyed this meal – I love flavor combos, and they delivered! The ambiance inside and out is fun. I highly recommend, and I’ll be back for the sho tuna ceviche tostadas!!!

Came here for a quick lunch on a warm, sunny Saturday in February. We sat on the patio, which was a nice change from where we normally sit (inside).
We both got different versions of enchiladas – I got the mole with the shrimp and cheese and it was excellent. Their frozen margs are always good, too!
Overall this is a good place with a different type of menu from other similar places (they love their duck here)!

Took my gf on a date night last week and I’d heard of this place so decided to try it out. We didn’t set a reservation because it didn’t seem like we needed one with the amount of available reservations, well when we got there we had a 20 minute wait.
The restaurant isn’t very big, so I guess it could fill up quickly.
The flautas and enchiladas were good, tacos I would steer clear of especially the carne asada-was definitely overcooked chewy meat, the taco wasn’t even eaten.
The main thing about our visit is the frequent visit of ROACHES , shortly after being seated there were a pair of roaches connected that was scurrying around, our waiter squished it literally a foot from my gf. He then apologized and said “that never happens”. Then our service was pretty bad, I’d assume he was embarrassed which is understandable. Then after we finally decided to stay and order food, there was another roach scurry by the gable behind us, I know because another customer was trying to squish it-needless to say it kept scurrying.
After all of our roach encounters at the end I expected another apology from the waiter and/or possibly a visit from a manager to apologize. It never came.
Definitely disappointed, I’d honestly steer clear of this place. To me it will always be the roach restaurant with bad service.

Cute Mexican food spot. I went with a large group of about 20 people. They sat us at two large tables. We got the queso and guac as appetizers. I ended up getting a mocktail and the mail quail dish with mole sauce. The service was absolutely fantastic. Sometimes with groups of our size service is slow and the food takes forever, but they seemed to be well-staffed, as the food did not take long to come out and the waitstaff made regular rounds to check on drinks, take orders, etc.

Wow! El Alma was great in Julianne rocks! The area is packed with people for the Austin marathon and yet we walked straight in and got a seat outside. Julianne was excellent. She even fixed a drink order that was messed up with a smile. Food was great service was great and stuff was great. We highly recommend El Alma.

Great taco spot. We were playing at the park and lucky to score a table here. Only con was not having a heater near us. Otherwise, we loved our tacos and our waiter! There are some unique taco options, including lamb barbacoa and red fish. There’s a free parking lot which is helpful considering the parking options are limited in the area.

Fantastic experience. Fun atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. And the menu was outstanding! We started out with guac and queso which were both great. For tacos I ordered the al pastor and chicken tinga and they were delicious. And I can’t forget the cocktails— my favorite was the como la flor!

Amazing food and experience! We had zero wait at lunchtime on a Saturday.
I got the shrimp enchiladas with the tomato chipotle sauce and they were amazing. Their chips are also some of the best I have ever had.
Highly recommend!

WOW! I normally order pickup for El Alma, but stopped in for a visit tonight and I do not regret it! Dalia was amazing. So attentive and friendly. Coming from a former waitress, she did an amazing job and I felt the need to shout her out in this review! Loved the pork chop and Don Quixote martini! Must try both.
