"What can I say about the new location? Well, the service was great, the food was great. But it was so loud I could barely hear my server. They need to do something about the acoustics. I love the food, but I will not be back unless they fix the acoustics."
"Everything was pretty tasty. Unfortunately, my poached egg was over cooked, I just added extra salsa. The avocado and tomato garnish? was...mmmm odd, maybe potatoes would be better. The lemon mango tart was yummy."
"I was so happy to see an El Alma closer to my house. I was every happier to see they had a brunch menu! We had the Steak and Eggs and the Salsa Verde Pork & Eggs. We liked both dishes, but the pork was my favorite. I also highly recommend the avocado margarita if you haven't tried one before. It's delicious and suuuuper smooth. Our server was super friendly and gave great recommendations as well. Give this place a try!"
"Another fabulous place opened in South Austin and we are thrilled it’s El Alma! We’ve always loved the one on Barton Springs, so we’re very happy to have one closer. We sat at the bar, which was a decent size making for enough room to sit immediately. There was a wait to sit in the main dining area, but we actually prefer the bar. I started with the Jacked Sangria. Delicious. Chips and salsa were a little delayed in arriving but the salsa is worth the wait. Our food actually came quicker than expected. My verde enchiladas were perfect. Some of the better Spanish rice you can find in Austin. Hubby ordered the pork chop, which was stunning and colorful. It was a little dry but tasted ok, he said, and was thankful for all the mole sauce. Didn’t stop him from eating it down to the bone. Overall a great dining experience and we will be returning."
