   Great food, with some unusual and inventive dishes. But it's very noisy, so don't plan to have an intimate conversation,

   We were slightly disappointed that the Lamb was out for lunch. The chicken tortilla soup was good. The fried plantains are the best. The duck Taco was great. The Redfish wasn’t so fresh and the Corn Bread could have been better. Overall good. We will be back.

   From the moment we walked in the service was outstanding. The craft cocktails were amazing, and the food was beautifully presented and so tasty good. Hands down, the mole I’ve had at a restaurant ever.

    I went to El Alma for brunch for the first time yesterday. My friend and I really enjoyed it. It is authentic Mexican flavors, is comfortable, casual and very friendly. I will definitely go back and would like to try it for dinner.

    I visited yesterday for my birthday and booked two weeks prior. We were sited swiftly when we arrived, the young waiter was super friendly and helpful as it was out first time. My kids had the tomato soup which was delicious, and I had the shrimp and rice wish was to die for. The drinks were on point and the place was very clean. Cant beat the free dessert for my birthday. The flan was delicious. I had a great Birthday and booked already for two weeks out.

    A nice experience on the rooftop because we had a party of seven so got the table in the north corner like we were on a balcony, very good food, we met Alma and she was lovely, and our server CJ was the nicest, most calm, helpful & patient server I can remember. Get Chile salt on your margs & get dessert!

    mediocre at best. crema de elote (corn soup) barely had a corn taste. Street corn we ordered on the side was only fair. the duck relleno I ordered was very mediocre - tasted like shredded duck was just thrown in a steamed poblano chile. AND the food was higher priced than other similar restaurants. will not return.

    Great tasting food, outstanding service a very patient server for our table since we were dining with my grandparents. Only thing i would say is it is a little expensive but the quality of the ingredients makes sense

    Good food - duck rellenos tasty but relleno skin tough (for me) most places you could use a fork to cut but on our night anyway- a knife to get through skin would have liked server who could speak more to the food and drink since we had out of state guests. Still overall nice.

    El Alma is one of our top favorite spots for Mexican food in Austin. They serve true Mexican food, not TexMex. SOOO GOOD
