El Chilito is a restaurant located in Austin that offers a variety of taco options, including Tex Mex and traditional Mexican styles. Some of the Mexican style tacos include cochinita pibil and picadillo, and there are also vegetarian options such as vegan queso, spinach salad, and beyond beef picadillo. The restaurant makes their own chips, queso, and guacamole, and they serve Mexican Coke, Topo Chico, and espresso.
The service at El Chilito is reportedly excellent, with a tall bearded man in a hat providing standout customer service. The food is described as 10/10 amazing, with the tacos being particularly flavorful and filling, and the tortilla chips being very tasty. The tacos are a great value, especially on Tuesdays when they are all $3.
The restaurant has an outdoor yard and a corn-hole game, making it a kid-friendly option. Additionally, it has wifi and parking, making it a convenient option for those looking for a place to have lunch and work.
One specific meal that is mentioned as a missed item is Tex Mex Carne Guisada, which was a delicious option that the reviewer wishes would be brought back.
