El Alma Cafe y Cantina

The guacamole is so fresh.. The mimosas only $3 for brunch & it's orange juice & mango puree, very tasty. The steak & eggs on rice & platanos maduros was so filling & delicious. Will be back!

Love the folk art-festooned interior, but the rooftop patio with Downtown view can’t be beat. Try the tangy guacamole al chipotle, served with a smoky chipotle crema and crunchy sunflower seeds . Read more

Try their Piñarita , a frozen margarita with tequila-marinated pineapple puree and coconut milk , and satisfy your taste buds with an old time favorite; Queso Fundido or a Ceviche Clasico. Read more

We had the quest blanco y rojo for an appetizer . For the entree we had the cholera de puerco and pescado a la plancha. perfect!! Restaurant has a real chill vibe. Great for a date night !!

Their version of eggs florentine w chipotle hollandaise is awesome! Tacos are delicious, definitely get the flour tortillas . Cheap and delicious bloody Maria 's too.

Had the duck taco and lamb taco with plantanos on the side. Both tacos healthy servings of meat. The lamb was super tasty and well seasoned. Wish I got more plantains .

Great ambiance (love the hillside staircase) and the chips and salsa set a good first impression. The queso fundido is really a quesadilla (and it's great) . Beware, the parking lot fills up quick.

The freshest Tex-Mex around. Try to get a seat on the deck at sunset - the view is fantastic! Enfrijoladas are delicious. And the salsas . Yes.

The ceviche is fantastic! The house margarita packs a punch too. Love the upstairs patio . Parking is tight. I'd go back :)

Pretty much everything is good, but the frozen margaritas are exceptional and anything with duck (enmoladas or rejenos) are recommended.

Decent brunch prices - get the Chipotle Hollandaise . A pretty setting for dining with a beautiful natural wall and succulents hanging.

Happy Hour , strong margs , hillside patio bar , best place for people watching in Austin, across from Butler Park . Next to Terry Black's.

A little extra Mex and not so much Tex, which is perfectly fine! I recommend this place. Get the gringas al pastor

If you share an entree they’ll divide it and bring it on two plates 🙌🏻

One of the best happy hours in Austin bar none. The sangria and the tostitdos (jack and pastor) are just incredible.

Loved the Jacked Sangria and Ceviche , so delicious 💕the upstairs patio is so nice too!

An everyday happy hour from 3-6, including weekends! Easily a cheap favorite with classic margaritas and sangria .

Really good Mexican spot with high brow but standard dishes...not really Tex mex . roof seating too. The piñarita way too sweet for my blood

Their mimosas are to die for, seriously, amazing.

Never judge a book by its cover, i just had amazing enfrijoladas and gorditas , almost as good as in Mexico!

Yumm all so delicious! Don't forget about the margarita !

The Camaron Relleno was amazing. Great value for money .

The tacos were amazing. The pastor is the best. Also the Bloody Maria is great.

This place rocks. Get anything with duck in it. And ask for Todd to be your waiter...best one we've had in Austin.

The Bloody Maria is delicious! Nice and spicy

Not a bad happy hour to say the least. Come here from 3-7, and order whatever. Just do so on the roof. It's lovely.

Try the artichoke queso (off menu ), pork chop , and a Charlie's Special margarita

Margaritas , happy hour , elote ! Such a great place.

Get the 2nd margarita on the drink menu (the orange one with jalepeno ). You can thank me later.

I wouldn't normally order a chicken salad at a mex place but I had a craving and went with it. It was fantastic.

Amazing! Lovely patio ... Red salsa tastes like it could be the best lunchable pizza sauce ever.

Pinarita on the rooftop on a sunny day for happy hour . Brunch is excellent too.

The roofdeck is nice and the food is higher end Mexican. The relleno is a good choice.

The chips and guacamole are amazing (the free chips you get at the table are awful, though).

The corn pudding is a gluten free slice of heaven. The deck is top notch.

Get the huevos franceses. I don't know what got lost in translation from the French version but it's amazing.

Love the drinks and food! All very good!

Nice Mexican food . Reasonable priced and good atmosphere.

The pinaritas were so good! Great value Mexican food .

Great margaritas , great waiters , excellent food!

Stuffed duck poblano (served in the evening only) is the best. They have an excellent lunch poblano , too.

Great rooftop and happy hour !

Patio dining ! Try it on the weekends in the sunshine!

Happy hour is now from 3-6. Look at their menu or online to confirm. We went based on foursquare tips saying 3-7 and were disappointed.

The fundido de chorizo is so good...so much cheese !

The Relleno was good because it's not fried. The Elote was delish too!

The Margaritas Here are BobBomb....so are the Tacos ! ! ! Ask for Brandon..great service!

Definitely try the strawberry hibiscus spritz!

One of the best outdoor seating areas in Austin.

Love the balcony best place to sit on a sunny day.
