Reviews for El Alma in Austin, TX
The best Tex Mex in Austin. Fresh salsas, great Margaritas, rich moles, and two different types of chips. A thicker one for... heavier dips and lighter one for lighter salsa. It’s absolutely brilliant. They have also have Quail on the menu which isoutstanding! Read more
Amazing spot. Both indoor and outdoor seating. The patio is really great and I recommend sitting there. It can get very busy so... reservations are best, but we went on a Saturday around 5 (happy hour!) and got an outside table immediately. They have fans andmisters to keep everyone cool on the patio.

Wow!!!! Do not judge a book by its cover!!! We almost did, but sooooo thankful we did not. The food is absolutely incredible,... from the salsa, appetizers and entrees!!! To top it off we set at the bar and had the pleasure of being served by Julz!!!!Drinks spot on as was service!!! Will be back many times over!!!! Do not be discouraged if there is long wait, it’s totallyworth it. We got lucky and set at the bar top. Read more
It was a delicious meal and a really fun time with friends. The service was great (even tho our waiter was clearly new). They... accommodated the toddler with us and everything was fresh/yummy/unique! Read more
I had a wonderful experience. Food is excellent and I got my food really quick. The staff also made some excellent suggestions.... There is a backyard you can sit at with a great view of the city. Inside there is a rustic vibe. There is a parking lot where Iwas able to get a spot. Highly recommend. Read more
After waiting 4 weeks for our reservation, we had high expectations going in to our dinner at El Alma, and it did not... disappoint! Our drinks (a frozen marg and the white sangria) were delicious and refreshing, and the two table salsas were sotasty that we ordered more to have with our mains! For vegans, the vegan enchilada was awesome! I would come back just to havethat again. As soon as we were done with dinner, we knew we had to make another reservation so we can come back and try more oftheir delicious food. El Alma definitely lives up to the hype! Read more
The BEST frozen margaritas you will find in Austin! Gorgeous rooftop, delicious & authentic food. I spent 2 weeks in Austin and... this was the only place I went back to more than once (4 times actually). Can get a bit crowded on the weekend so make a res inadvance if you can! A MUST TRY!!

This place is great, the tacos are fabulous, specifically the shrimp one, and the place looks great. Our server seemed new and... clearly had too many tables though. Not his fault I'm sure, maybe someone called out or quit. The Mangorita was tasty too. Read more
