Always enjoy the tacos here. Nice Friendly staff. Family has been coming here for years.

Great place to eat, would go there every other Friday during work for lunch for a couple years and still go on occasion when I'm down town Would recommend, The"Angies Special" was my favorite read more

Angie's Mexican Restaurant is in my top 10 Mexican restaurants in Austin. My favorite is the Mexican plate with two cheese enchiladas, one crispy taco, rice and beans. You have to get their corn tortillas. They are house made and very fresh. I haven't found anyone to top them. Enjoy!! read more

I'm not really such a fan of corn tortillas, but, after reading the reviews on Yelp, I HAD to try them when I met some former coworkers here for lunch. Damn, the homemade corn tortillas are FABULOUS! They're thick and perfect for supporting the greasy goodness that is placed inside of them. I opted for huevos rancheros, my new "thing" as of late. The over easy eggs were perfectly prepared and runny, although there was no ranchero sauce as an accompaniment. It was brought to me on the side when I inquired about it. The flour tortillas were pretty tasty as well, but I just had to try the corn. Portions are average for what you pay, my potatoes and refried beans hit the spot, too. Service was kind of slow, we were the only table outside, and I think they only let us sit outside because two in our party are regulars. We had to seek out the person to get our check, but by this time the parking lot was full, so I understand the business. This is a nice location, I'd never been to the old one (I just emailed Yelp to change the address... after driving around and around looking for the one on here). There's plenty of spacious parking spots and room to turn around. Didn't really take in the interior, we headed straight outside. The patio is nice and the perfect place for my former coworker's 2 year old to run around happily. I'll be back sometime. read more

I'm going back on my original review. After rereading it, I can't believe those words came out of my mouth - they must've been having a darn good day on my first visit. Now, let me preface - I've only ever had breakfast tacos here. My favorite are potato, egg and cheese. Except half the time, they decide not to make potatoes or are "out" by dinner time. Also, since we work nearby, we're pretty darn good customers - or used to be. Half the time they'll let us split our bill, half the time we can't. Half the time it's OK to charge less than $5 on a credit card, other times it's not. Depends on the day. And finally - why the heck is there a fake cockroach hiding under a donut by the register? I've gotten some laughs and screams outta people, but c'mon - that's pretty disgusting. Sorry Angie's - with all these wonderful trailers and restaurants going up nearby, I won't be back anytime soon. read more

Good and bad. I have eaten here many times over the last 10 years. I think tonight was my last visit. I am pretty sure lady at the front who runs the place always "pads" the bill. They don't print you an itemized receipt normally and the last 3 or so times I walked out of there I was wondering why the it always seemed a little bit more expensive than I expected. I'd look at a to go menu on the way out and see they added in another 20% or so...a couple dollars usually. I eat there by myself so it shouldn't be auto gratuity. The salsa is excellent, the refried beans are great. Rice is kinda dry and just OK. The corn tortillas are home made, but not really my favorite. They are small, thick, dark and kind of bland. They really fill you up while being bland. Their chicken is bland and so is their beef. I like their cheese enchiladas...and their home made lemonade. Service is a little slow if they get busy. One girl that works there is really cool...but she wasn't there tonight. I just think it's shady they are padding the bill and not cool. I like the food but I have had way better...sums it up. read more

Pretty disappointing, honestly. Tried this place out on a Saturday morning, as the other place we were headed to had too long of a wait. No wait at Angie's...should have been a sign, I suppose. I thought the food was fairly decent, but it blew me away that I spent about $20 on migas plate and split a small queso. We are on the east side people! I expect amazing, greasy Tex-Mex for cheap. Their only saving grace, for me, were the thick and delicious corn tortillas. The service was slow, but friendly. I hate to give a low star review, but with so many other options out there, this one doesn't make my list. read more

Close to downtown is a plus for this place. Today I "accidentally" found Angie's again while looking for another place down the street. I remember Angie's when it was in the run down 1940's house on the other side of 7th street. Mismatched tables and chairs I don't care much about (they add charm and character) I do however care about the food. It's cozy, topped with cheese and they serve breakfast ALL day. The food was as good as I remember and we'll be back for sure. Hot sauce most anglos would shy away from....MUY CALENTE. Had to come back to the office and grab my blankie to take a nap. read more

Angie seems a bit grouchy and service was slow during brunch this Sunday. But the food makes up for it. Signature dishes include carnitas, which are really the best anywhere, and machacado, which makes a perfect breakfast taco when combined with eggs and served on one of Angie's famous super-thick corn tortillas. read more

Love the incredible hospitality at this restaurant! When making a decision if I should make my reservations here for my graduation celebration, the owner and head waiter convinced me with their excellent customer service and great business nagosiations. Not only did they let us sample their great puffy tacos for free, they also agreed to accommodate us by splitting the check by family which they don't do for large groups. This made it super convenient for all 20 of us. How awesome is that?!!! chicken and beef steak tacos were yummy, definitely what they are known for. Chicken enchiladas were also great. Oh man, and their tortilla chips were an awesome blend of super thin and crispy accompanied by some really hot salsa. Everything is moderately priced as well The restaurant was also very spacious and incredibly clean. Don't get me wrong, I love the little hole in the wall run down Mexican restaurants just as much as the next person, but sometimes I question the sanitary level of the environment. Have no fear, you'll find parking here. There are even more spaces behind the building kind of near the alley. Consider this place for your next affordable shindig. read more

The 2 star description really fits how I feel about this restaurant. "Meh. I've experienced better." Right off the bat, it takes 10 minutes just to put some chips and salsa on our table. The salsa was actually pretty good and spicy, but the chips were stale ... gross. They got the food out pretty quick and it was nothing stellar. I ordered migas and they came with a side of potatoes and refried beans. I think rice would have been a lot better than potatoes. They were seriously just huge chunks of papas with no seasoning or flavor or anything. MEH. read more

There are definitely some people out there who are die-hard fans of Angie's. It's been around for ages and offers up standard Tex-Mex as well as Mexican classics. I'm not a fan of barbacoa (yet...give me time) but they seem to be known for it. Overall, I found the food to be just average orange with requisite grease pools on a plate. Not bad by any means, but not a place I'd ever choose on my own volition. read more

Contrary to popular yelping, Angie's is not all that and a bag of tostada chips. I got a Mexican Plate which included two "cheese" enchiladas and a taco. I was excited about the taco because people were raving about the homemade corn tortillas. They were homemade alright, because commercially made tortillas could never get away with being so bad. They were thick and gummy, the taco was chewy and bland. I had to add salt and pepper and salsa to make it edible. I can't think of a time that I've EVER added salt and pepper to a meal at a Tex Mex restaurant. So that's something. Also, the American cheese on the tacos was an "interesting" culinary choice. The enchiladas offered no redemption. They used a different type of corn tortilla for the enchiladas than for the taco or the ones served on the side. These were clearly commercially made. But they were okay. I couldn't find any cheese stuffed into said tortillas, though, until my friend had to point out the tiny layer of, again, American cheese. Gross! At least the canned enchilada sauce was good. Wait...no it wasn't! Silly me. So disappointed. I didn't even bother with the rice and beans. Oh, also, both baskets of chips we were served were almost all crumbs. The salsa was okay...kindof bland and pretty spicy. So be careful. In fact, optimum care would involve not stopping by Angie's. read more

I should've trusted Yelp. I say that so many times, yet I continue to go to places with poor reviews! I ordered the chicken enchiladas-- I figured you can't go wrong with that. They're pretty standard fare. Well, the cheese on top tasted like the thick grated dollar store brand cheese, the dark meat chicken grossed me out, though the sauce on top was okay. Big enchiladas, small portions of rice and beans... and I think $8.50 was a lot much for a lunch price. I would've preferred they do 2 enchiladas and take a couple bucks off. I won't be back. read more

Oh god, I dream about their beef tacos on those thick, yet crisp corn tortillas. The salsa is hotter than hell, but perfect. Angie's, you magnificent bastards, I love you. read more

I agree with several reviewers, when there are over 400 Mexican restaurants and food trailers to choose from, why would you go here a second time. A friend who works in the area is a regular here. We had lunch on Saturday at his recommendation. My daughter and I shared the veggie combo plate ($8.75 for 2 bean tacos and 1 cheese enchilada with about an ounce each of rice and refried beans). Husband had one dried beef and egg taco and one chorizo and egg taco, with added cheese and jalapenos ($5.80 no sides). We spent $14 on two mango margaritas at the suggestion of our waiter and ordered a small queso, $3.50, to share while we waited for our food. We noticed after about 20 minutes a couple being served queso within a few minutes of being seated at their table. Our queso came out with our food about 5 minutes after. The house made chips are greasy and yummy with the spicy salsa. The rest of the food including the chalky (raw flour) queso was marginal at best. If you enjoy processed american cheese in your TexMex (I do, that's why its TexMex) then try this place once. If you find you've been overcharged a buck or two, which also sounds common from other reviewers, then I'd pass on a second visit--Angie is obviously doing whatever is necessary to pay the mortgage on her building. read more

BLEH! The food is absolutely standard, generic Tex-Mex, but the service is where this place really stands out. The take being slow, rude, and not caring to whole new levels! It's actually kind of impressive. If you want things to take a really long time, to be forgotten about and ignored, then this is the place for you! read more

I'll keep it simple, Long Gotten over the Homey Feel that Old Angies had on the height of 7th and Frontage 35 where that Wine Tasting place is now. Best Flautas in Town. The ones that need to be beaten. Carnitas tacos are great too. Awesome Lemonade ! read more

I really love this place! The beans taste like my grandma's beans and you can tell they are homemade. My husband had the chicken enchiladas and said they were very good. The hot sauce was great and so this place over all is freakin delish. They do have a vegetarian part to their menu, and so their beans are completely vegan. The tortillas are made from stratch and they even fry their own tostada shells. The customer service was great and the location on the East side is good too. The parking is small, but good. I wish they made tamales for the holidays, but they don't. I would eat here way more often if I lived closer, but I live in Southwest Austin and so this is a little drive for me. But i plan to back once on that side of town. Oh yeah, With my tostada plate, large quac, enchilada plate and 2 teas, our ticket with tip was about $30 bucks... Not bad at all.. read more

I remember the old Angie's and the drama that would usually ensue during any given lunch time visit. I know the new Angie's is not really all that new anymore but I had never been there. First of all, this ambiance has 0 feel of a Mexican restaurant. It's way too big to go for the tiling and some paintings route. It felt like a cafeteria, but fine, I'm willing to overlook that for some delicious grub, which Angie's always delivers. I remember the carnitas were delicious so I went for that, however, I made the mistake of not ordering the tacos like my friend! With each crunch coming from the other side of the table, I regretted my choice more and more. I enjoyed my plate thoroughly, but I wish I had gotten the tacos. I'll probably go back and get my fix of carnitas tacos. Also, kudos on the salsa, it's a slow burn, there's definitely spice there and you'll feel it, but it's still flavorful. read more

Great, great little place just a few blocks away from I-35 on east 7th. The restaurant now us much larger then when it used to be in a small house closer to I-35 that now hold cork & co. Angie's is one of the better Tex-Mex spots near downtown. The Mexican plate is incredible, but I do always confuse it with the platillo especial so just watch out when you order. They are so very similar. One has two enchiladas & one taco and the other has two enchiladas & one taco. But honestly, you can't go wrong with either one. Both are also served with rice, beans, and tortillas. The tacos are special because they are puffy tacos. That are not greasy at all; just beautifully soft, yet still a little crispy, blankets of happiness. I also love their fresh made salsa. It's extra spicy & definitely will leave a year in your eye...in a good way ;) read more

No frills Mexican food. But damn tasty! The salsa is usually delightfully spicy and the tacos are a treat. Stop by the next time your in the East side. read more

If I could give this 0 stars I would. One of the absolute worst Mexican Restaurants you could eat at here in Austin. My daughter and I ate here last week and were very tired from packing and moving her out of her apt.. We stopped in to hopefully have a good meal and it was far from it. The puffy tacos were hard as a rock. The beans were swimming in liquid of some kind. I believe they were trying to stretch their food out by making it so watery. Everything had a weird after taste like chlorine or something weird. Very strange. I have no idea how this place is still open. read more

Classic tex-mex done right! Yes, the corn tortillas and tacos are awesome. Everything else is good too. I love the queso flamiado with chorizo. This is a huge lunch place but the real treat is that when all the restaurants are crowded on Friday night you can get in Angie's easy. I've never seen it crowded and I've been many times Friday and Saturday night. OK, the secret is out. read more

In a town like Austin, where great Mexican food abounds, why would you eat at a place like Angie's? I have a boss who loves the place. What is your excuse? It is an OK, run-of-the-mill TexMex place. The food is not terrible. It is not even bad. It is a reliable some meat wrapped in tortillas covered with melted cheese with rice and re-fried beans on the side kind of place. Their salsas are GOOD. You can console yourself with their salsa. Angie herself is a legendary crank. You irritate her. Don't take it personally. Everyone irritates her. She will not single you out for kindness if you're a regular and you tip well. It might be worth going to lunch here just once so that your presence will irritate her. If you're into the whole angry-dining thing. read more

Their corn tortillas get 5 stars! They're thick, moist, amazing homemade tortillas. I promise this is as good as corn tortillas get this side of the border The restaurant it self only gets 3 stars. I eat here for the tortillas. read more

This seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it type place. I'll admit, the service is not perfect, every dish is not a masterpiece, the margaritas are not great, and yet I've been going here weekly for over 5 years because I'm addicted to the corn tortillas and salsa. I've not noticed any change in food quality, and on the contrary, find it consistently satisfying. The unique corn tortillas, which others have described with disdain as "thick and chewy" are just that, and that's why I love them; especially in the form of tacos, in which case they are lightly fried. If you're looking for healthy: no. But if you're looking for tasty: oh yeah! If you think the food is bland, you're not using enough of the fantastic salsa, which is fresh, super spicy and full of nice veggies - just the way I like it. (Occasionally, and sadly, the salsa gets slightly less hot, which Angie explains is due to low availability of hot jalapenos at certain times of the year.) In defense of some of the nay-saying: Yes, Angie and some of her staff are not dripping with friendliness, but I find them genuine, appreciative and hardworking. A few of them are really nice! Yes, they use American cheese, which I happen to enjoy. People - it's TEX-mex after all. Yes, the weekday lunch hour is super busy. It would not be if this was really a one- or two-star establishment. Tips: There are a few extra parking spaces underneath the restaurant, accessible from the alley behind. Once inside, make your way past the register line into the dining room for faster seating. Arriving at 11:00 or 1:00 will usually eliminate any waiting. Yes, Angie has a policy of no separate checks at the table. However, she is more than happy to separate any check at the register - however you like. read more

Ended up stumbling on this place after the restaurant I wanted to go to was closed and I was pretty impressed. Great and quick service! Everyone there was so nice and food came out super quick. Their margaritas are a good size and just potent enough. Their food was so good. I had their migas plate... So yummy! They have homemade corn tortillas and even make puffy tacos out of the corn tortillas! Will definitely eat here again! read more

I really thought this place would be better. Mind you, I haven't tried their food. So why would I write a reviews? With great anticipation I went in one day during lunch and found a table with 2 other friends. We sat there completely ignore for five minutes until a rushed busboy brought us chips. 10 minutes later, a waiter came trying to take our order, and we politely asked if we could see a menu, it was our first time. The waiter brought our menu and drinks and left. We waited there for 20 minutes with no service, waiters just running around with no real coordination. Eventually we just gave up and walked out. This place was a mess, DO NOT GO. Their food might be good, I didn't get the chance to try it, but first impressions are very important to me, and Angie's, you failed. read more

Great vegetarian selection! I would highly recommend this place if your coming to Austin! Their chips and salsa were so good as well!

Here's what's good: - Corn Tortillas - Breakfast tacos available all day - Decent chalupas Here's what's not so good: - Super bland salsa. It's spicy..but in a watery tomatoey way. - Bland flavors - Grey refried beans? Odd.... - You can't really taste an individual ingredient, everything just runs together. The quality of the food is kind of questionable and it doesn't help that they have a plastic donut with a toy roach hiding under the donut. I get it..it's there for the lulz. But really?! Why would you want the first thing seen (next to kitchen no less) to be a cockroach!? Even if it is fake!? Sorry guys / gals at Angies. I would have loved to give you a better review. Due to your proximity, I'll be there again and again and again...so you'll have ample opportunity to make the food better. Until then, 2 stars for you. read more

After reading all the great reviews for this place and thier chicken enchiladas, I told myself, "I HAVE TO EAT HERE!". Their corn tortillas are awesome, nice, thick, soft, and yum! The salsa is nice and spicy, not clear your sinuses spicy, but "Californians (sorry) will steer clear of it looking for the mango salsa" spicy. And that's it for the good. The chicken enchiladas that everyone is so excited for is just "eh!". I mean, they were good, but not great. It's not something that would draw me here, my friend had the chalupas which I had a couple of bites of... "eh!" again. The service wasn't the best either, we sat down for a good 10 minutes before we got to order. But watching other people eat surely did whet my appetite. Overall, I would probably go here again, but not by choice and and after an argument of better the Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

Worst tacos ever. My family has had a few restaurants and I've worked in many, so I'm a harsh critic, but realistic. It is not acceptable to serve Migas tacos with hardly any egg or veggies in the first taco then only greasy fried chips in the second, charge more than star bucks for a small watery coffee then give me attitude when I politely explain why I would like a refund. I wish I still had the picture I took of those tacos, had to see it to believe it. read more

Bad food & Bad Service!!! First time & Last time! Was ignored being seated, 10 minutes later....seated and was brought chips with no salsa! Ask for salsa twice and finally received it (a used one that is) when chips were gone! So i got up and retrieved my own! As i was coming back to my table with salsa in hand, the waitress starts moving my stuff to another table telling my table to move to another table so they can use my table to seat a party of 17! WTF! (you ask first, not move my stuff first) Waitress takes drink order (wanted to order meal too) she says, "no, I need to take all the other drink orders from these tables first!" finally ordered...Food comes, taco first...decent; then enchiladas with rice and beans=gross!! So gross, I was tasting it that night still!!! What a waste of $21!!!! Oh and the parking, good luck!!! I suggest Amaya's or Cisco's for better Mexican food and service!! read more

I've eaten at Angie's on and off for 2 years now. I am sad to see the quality of the food going down. I just had lunch there and I was pretty flavorless. I had the Angie's special--a taco, guacamole, cheese enchilada w/ rice and beans. The taco meat was just browned beef--no spice at all. I asked for onions on the enchiladas which was good because they were pretty flat as well. It's very sad for me to see them have a decrease in quality because I work nearby. On the plus side, service is normally quick (don't expect too much from the wait staff though.) And if you get there around 11:30 there is normally not a wait to be seated. read more

Angie's would get FIVE STARS but the service is awful. The food is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST in Austin without a doubt.. We have been customers for 10 years plus, when Angie's was in the run down house on the other side of 7th street near I-35. It was small but better service then... The food is the ONLY reason we keep going back. If you love GREAT food Angie's is the place to go; expect poor service so your not disappointed.. We MISS your sister Angie!!!! read more

This is the food of miracles. The corn tortillas are some magical fusion and when slathered in Tex-Mex chili gravy and molten cheese, it is transcendent. This transplanted Texan now in New England considers this trip my return to the Holy Land. read more

See all

I had the enchiladas and they were so good! My so got the tacos and enchiladas and he loved them as well! In sum, great food, service, and environment. Next time I'm in Austin I will be stopping by again. read more

Absolutely the best Mexican food you will find anywhere! My family and I live near Corpus Christi, much further South than Austin, and we'll always incorporate eating at Angie's while visiting Austin. The corn tortillas used for the enchiladas plates are actually fried a bit before they are stuffed and rolled, and that's the correct (non shortcut) way to do them. Try the puffy or hard tacos and the chalupas, yep, the corn tortillas are fried, and not pre made and taken from a box. The atmosphere is pleasant and joyful, especially when you meet Angie herself. She is a super person and her love of what she does shines through and through. I highly recommend eating at Angie's establishment. read more

In looking for a lunch location with a friend we drove past Angie's and saw the parking lot. Sold! They had a decent crowd but it did take a few minutes for them to seat us and I was confused as to whether we ordered at the front or would even be seated. They told us to select a table and brought us menus. The service was slow. The salsa was too spicy for me... and even my friend (who is Mexican) thought it was super spicy!! I ordered the carnitas tacos. They were freakin delicious! Homemade corn tortillas fried with some dang tasty pork filling... yum. Every now and then I'd get a really tasty bite and had to stop myself from moaning out loud!! My friend had the carne guisada and she said it was good. The homemade corn tortillas weren't very good for some reason. I tried it and she was right. It was almost like the ones for my tacos were thinner. Odd. Anyhow, I removed a star for the service as it was really slow but I'd go back again for those carnitas tacos! Yum, yum! read more
