Top 5 Mexican & Tex-Mex in Austin

Top Tier EditorialSourcesThe Infatuation Austin

  1. 1

    Habanero Cafe

    Dawson

    Infatuation's #1 Tex-Mex (9.0). Tiny South Austin counter spot — the hand-pressed flour tortillas and carne guisada are Central Texas at its most honest.

  2. 2

    Texas Chili Parlor

    Downtown

    Infatuation (9.0). A 1970s dive-bar-plus-Tex-Mex institution — enchiladas smothered in Texas-style chili, frozen margs, zero pretense.

  3. 3

    Joe’s Bakery & Coffee Shop

    East Austin

    Infatuation (8.6). Sixty-plus years on East 7th — huevos rancheros, barbacoa, and migas are textbook East Austin Tex-Mex.

  4. 4

    Matt's El Rancho

    South Lamar

    Infatuation (8.2). Home of the Bob Armstrong Dip — the queso that shaped Austin. Open since 1952 and still the group-dinner gold standard.

  5. 5

    Eldorado Cafe

    North Shoal Creek

    Infatuation (7.8). Known for queso, burritos, carne guisada, and enchiladas — an Allandale/Shoal Creek favorite for bold flavors and big portions.
