A terrific meal! From the queso fundido, served with the best corn tortillas ever, through the mole negro with duck, to the Basque cheesecake; everything was spot on. I also felt honored when Iliana stopped by our table to see how everything was. A birthday dinner I will never forget.
El Naranjo’s food is always excellent. Their menu often features drinks and dishes inspired by specific states in Mexico. I’ve had and enjoyed their dinner before (highly recommend the filete and house-made ice cream), but this was my first time having brunch. The queso fundido (with handmade corn tortillas), ceviche and huevos benedictos were all impressive. I definitely scarfed down the queso before managing a photo (oops). And I definitely couldn’t go without a jar...
One the best restaurants in Austin. If you are looking for consistent high quality Mexican (vs Tex-Mex) food and drinks, this place is your best bet. I come often with my wife and sons for Sunday brunch (try Conchas and Enfrijoladas), and also for dinner (try queso fundido with huitlacoche and blue corn hand-made tortillas appetizer). Don’t forget to ask for a house/classic margarita -those are the real thing.
