Classic Tex-Mex with tacos, fajitas, breakfast migas & margaritas






















"The Tex-Mex restaurant with two locations (this one in North Loop and the other down south in Southpark Meadows) knows its tacos very well, serving sturdy tortillas filled with eggs, fish, chicken, beef, or even rib meat. The dining room is a great place for a party, with twinkle lights and vibrant decor alongside tables that easily push together. So is the little outdoor patio, for that matter. And it does offer takeout online." - Nadia Chaudhury
"This homestyle North Loop Tex-Mex restaurant with an ample, friendly bar has been around for over 40 years (the South Austin location opened in 2014). Husband-and-wife team Roberto and Susana Amaya own the restaurant with their family, and Roberto was a founding member of what is now the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Austin. The breakfast-only migas are topped with ranchero sauce and come with refried beans, home-fried potatoes, and tortillas. There are indoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell
"A family-run Tex-Mex restaurant whose owners are proposing to redevelop the property into a mixed-use project combining condos, retail shops, and expanded restaurant space, signaling plans for a significant change to the site’s use and footprint." - Nadia Chaudhury
"I recommend Amaya’s Taco Village (5804 North Interstate 35 Frontage Road, North Loop) for a classic Tex‑Mex combo plate that should include crispy tacos, cheese enchiladas, tamales, queso, guacamole, iceberg lettuce, and tomato garnish." - Mando Rayo
"A neighborhood Tex‑Mex spot noted for classic cheese‑topped enchiladas that represent the comforting, everyday side of the cuisine." - Meghan McCarron
