“I wanted to create a menu that would fit the location on Barton springs. It’s fun, flavorful Mexican food that is very approachable. It’s a casual, authentic representation of the food I grew up eating.”

Chef Alma Alcocer-Thomas

“ The sweet, gooey and savory Gringas (quesadillas of cheese, árbol salsa and al pastor with pineapple) prove that the chef isn’t afraid to have a little fun. Bonus points for a rooftop patio perfect for sipping margaritas and for a chef with her name on the restaurant actually being spotted in the kitchen”

About El Alma

Edible Austin

Edible Austin

In the heart of Austin, at the corner of Barton Springs Road and Dawson, sits a funky, white building with an eclectic ’60s vibe. For those who are unfamiliar, it’s not the house of some famous local artist or musician. It’s home to one of the best interior Mexican food restaurants in Austin, for 11 years and counting.

Diners will find tacos al pastor, queso, and carne asada tacos, but will also have an array of small plates and sophisticated entrees using fresh ingredients and richly layered sauces including duck enchiladas with mole, relleno de camarones (shrimp-stuffed poblano served with chipotle sauce and corn pudding), and for the hearty vegetarians out there, smokey ancho relleno stuffed with seasonal vegetables. Alcocer also features one of her childhood favorites, ‘gringas,’ a popular Mexico City snack made of flour tortillas, cheese, and savory pastor.
