El Alma is simply a perfect choice for sharing the austin vibe with out-of-town guests or a friendly happy hour with locals. The staff are super informed about the dishes and are ready with recommendations. Bella was delightful and obviously a veteran server. The outdoor patio has a great view and is ready for hot or cold weather so is pleasant all the time, definitely ask for patio whenever available. And the food! Each dish is delicious but always listen to the current special as that’s always a solid choice. My most recent visit was large shrimp with a fruit salsa and chips. So delicious. The sauces make all the difference and take you right to Mexico.

Came here for a quick lunch on a warm, sunny Saturday in February. We sat on the patio, which was a nice change from where we normally sit (inside).
We both got different versions of enchiladas - I got the mole with the shrimp and cheese and it was excellent. Their frozen margs are always good, too!
Overall this is a good place with a different type of menu from other similar places (they love their duck here)!

Love this place whenever we're downtown. Great food and drinks! Parking can be a pain but worth going. Great spot before going to the ballet at the long center.

Wow! El Alma was great in Julianne rocks! The area is packed with people for the Austin marathon and yet we walked straight in and got a seat outside. Julianne was excellent. She even fixed a drink order that was messed up with a smile. Food was great service was great and stuff was great. We highly recommend El Alma.

WOW! I normally order pickup for El Alma, but stopped in for a visit tonight and I do not regret it! Dalia was amazing. So attentive and friendly. Coming from a former waitress, she did an amazing job and I felt the need to shout her out in this review! Loved the pork chop and Don Quixote martini! Must try both.

The meal started off good with great salsa and white queso. I ordered the shrimp and crab rellano Which unexpectedly was not battered and fried like normal. The filling did seem to have any flavor. The black beans were not seasoned at all. My wife ordered carne adada taco and adobo shrimp taco, The be. Ef was a little dry and the shrimp was cold. The rice lacked flavor and had a fishy taste. I expected for the price.The meal would be amazing. I get better food at my local hole in the wall. I would not really recommend the place.
Disgusting resturant. Food is not up to par for what you pay. Roaches everywhere.i found one under our table as we were eating and it flew up on my lap. Just go to terry blacks next door.

If you go to El Alma, be very careful with their stairs, because literally your life is at risk there, and it hurts all the way to your soul.
They need to repair the stairs; they are really in very bad condition. I suffered a second-degree ankle sprain on Sunday, January 11, due to a fall on their stairs. I have been in pain for five days now, and this injury has prevented me from being able to work during these days. Thank you.

Chilly evening with some old friends and the food and ambience was awesome. Had a shrimp and crab relleno that was to die for. Everyone else loved theirs although they were too busy stuffing their faces to comment. Excellent house frozen margaritas had something to do with that. Grand evening with great waitstaff. Five stars!
