El Chile Cafe y Cantina

Dip one chip after another into the dark exotic Salsa that won first place in the Austin Chronicle's Hot Sauce Contest while you take in the colorful art on the walls. Read more

Such a fantastic little find. Their salsa is one in a million and the food makes me want to move into the back and create a home there.

Vegetarian delights! The roasted salsa is delicious and you can't go wrong with the Relleno !

Try the Chiango Margarita : a smooth, frozen orange margarita (made with Valenton gold tequila ) is kicked up with a sprinkle of housemade chili salt.

That house margarita is one of the best in town . "Checked in" for a free queso , also fantastic.

Delicious house margaritas , great happy hour menu/prices. Service can be hit or miss.

The Chilango is one of the most unique (and best) margaritas in Austin...a must try.

"Check in" to El Chile on FB and get a quest on the house & the quest is thick and good with mushrooms !

Great margaritas and tasty short rib nachos

Tex mex brunch ilu

Get a La Tuna (formerly Prickly Pear ) margarita . Trust me.

Very generous happy hour . Never fear a split entree; the plates are large and in-charge.

The food was so good but we sat inside and it was so hot in this place. Uh...made my ice cold beer warm. Eat out on the patio .

Sangria and Queso , mole and veggie dish .

Pollo a la poblano . Best dish on the menu IMO.

I don't usually like frozen margaritas , but they're great at this place. Try the prickly pear .
