How South Austin Tex-Mex Restaurant El Alma Adapted During COVID-19 | Eater Austin

"Our South Austin El Chilito is facing a very different set of challenges than our East Seventh Street location, illustrating that there’s no one‑size‑fits‑all strategy across the group: each location must be managed in the way that makes the most sense for its specific context." - Erin Russell

This Place is so good. Such a great value - so many different types of amazing tacos, and you can get two for $7 or $8. Only a couple minutes wait also. Great food, great price - that's a recipe for a place that I'll come back to frequently.

Had one of my favorites today, the Shrimp Del Mar with black beans. Good vibe and cool out door area.

Tacos were really basic. Didn't feel authentic. The sauce is good though. The place is big and loads of seating.

If you haven’t gone food shopping and want to eat something that has any actual nutritional value after working out at the golds down the street this is your spot. It’s the closest non fast food spot from the gym so I decided to try it out since I haven’t been food shopping yet and I didn’t want to ruin my whole workout by eating one of the numerous fast food restaurants nearby. The tacos were good. Literally no complaints, they’re less than 5$ each and reasonably sized. 2 should have you full but not stuffed. I also got a fruit cup since I’m trying to eat healthy and for the amount of fruit you get I’d say it justifies the price to be honest. The tacos themselves weren’t mind blowing must have tacos in a city known for tacos but they’re very good and I wasn’t disappointed. I also got a chocolate chip cookie since who cares about gains… and it tasted better than a grocery store cookie, it was surprisingly good for a Mexican spot Overall it’s a good place in an area that doesn’t have a lot of immediate non fast food dining options. I’d recommend trying it out

First time here and enjoyed their barbacoa taco! It was pretty full and super tasty 😋

Flavorful tacos with lots of menu options. I will forgo the queso on my next trip because is was more “grainy” than smooth, but the rest of the food and service was great. The tacos took a few minutes to be served, but they are made to order and fresh. The vibe of the restaurant is intimate and relaxing.

Great place to go for a breakfast taco. The menu seems to have something for everyone. The prices are very reasonable. Staff is very friendly. Worth checking out if you are in the mood for a good breakfast taco.

It's close to where I live and work and it's really good ingredients, and you can tell. There are rewards and every Wednesday burritos are like 6 dollars. This is my new favorite place to eat. Really good barbacoa, great carne asada and actually everything is awesome delicious. I highly recommend this place and I'm very grateful it's there.
