Angie’s Mexican Restaurant

2.75 stars.
Came in at 2pm Sunday. There were only about 5 tables sat, of which 4 had already been fed. So arguably we were the only ones to be waited on at the time.
The servers were very busy with side work as they close at 4pm and didn’t make us feel special. Service was given and drinks delivered. Drinks were average. Queso was ordered and tasted like pure Velveeta.
That’s when we decided to call it a day.
Overall…I’m sure it’s good for parties and kids… and I can’t vouch for the food other than queso but we won’t be back here.

My husband and I went here for the first time about a week ago. The place is decent, nothing special but it’s comfortable. The service was quick, almost too quick-​the waitress rushed my husband and he could barely finish the words of his order: P He wasn’t thrilled to get canned beer and my margarita, although very good, was rather small. The chips and salsa are very fresh, also very spicy but it’s good! The food was not bad but we thought it was too plain. Not much flavor, I think they put it all in the salsa. Overall the place was affordable and fine for a quick lunch but we won’t be visiting again.

The Food is Bomb diggity! Best tacos I’ve personally ever had, fresh chips, drinks could be a little cheaper, but foods wise it definitely gets a 5 star rating.

I really enjoyed Angie’s. It’s tough to find decent Mexican/​Tex-​Mex food for a vegetarian. You’d think veggie fajitas are a norm but not every place has ‘em. Here I was able to get bean tacos. They do a delicious puffy style tortilla, fresh toppings and vegetarian beans and rice. Score! Their mexican martinis are more than I’d like to spend ($ 11.25) but boy they had me buzzin’. Only thing I wish they did differently is offer another veggie side. Every plate comes with rice and beans but when you order a bean taco plate, yeah… that’s a lot of beans. Nopales would be a great option! All in all, It’s a great laid back atmosphere, good food and large plates. Breakfast all day — on the cheap, too!

The food is great, but the service was terrible. We weren’t sure who our waiter actually was because so many people came to our table. It took 15 minutes to even get a drink order and longer to actually get the drinks. The food was very tasty, but I won’t be returning due to the lack of service we received.

Came here during lunch and the parking lot was very busy and I couldn’t find a spot. The food wasn’t the best but it was decent. Our server though wasn’t that good. We had to ask her to refill our waters and she didn’t ask us how are food was. There are better places to eat Mexican food in Austin.

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.

Been eating at Angies taco place for over 10 years. Extremely delicious tasting tacos. Home made corn tortillas. Angie usually will wait on you and greet you. Great staple of Austin Texas!

Happy Labor Day Breakfast at Angies. .huevos rancheros w/​a side of carnitas and Ranchero deluxe. .warm tortillas corn and flour. .and Angie. great day. won’t have to eat until tonight. .ronilou.on 7^th street. and won’t have to see mom until next week.

I used to love this place… but my last experience here last week left me wondering if I should ever come back. My fave dish is the chicken enchiladas so I probably order it 80% of the time… this time around… it was really bland and served as a hot mess. The rice had no flavor at all. The beans (and I normally don’t like beans) was the only part of the plate that I finished. Maybe, just maybe… I will give it one more chance… we’ll see…

Great breakfast tacos! We got the bacon eggs potato. Potatoes were yummy, bacon crispy. It was a great taco!

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!

I first discovered Angie’s while driving down 7^th street in Austin back in 2012. I was on duty and wanted a place for lunch. I saw the façade of the place and figured it looks cool why not. When I came back around a few hours later I noticed 4 apd officers parked there. I figured hey if the coppers are there something is at least half decent about the place.
I pulled in and parking is not the best when there are crowds. I was able to get parking off 7^th street (they also have parking under the restaurant accessed by an alley behind it). I was seated promptly but like many others the customer service has not been 100% ever. I’ve eaten there each year since and nothing has changed. The food is good but customer service means a lot as well.
I ate a taco plate that day and have also tried the enchiladas. I love the authentic taste of their food but I won’t lie it makes me feel heavy. I’ve taken my Wife and a few co-​workers back since my first experience. My Wife wasn’t totally impressed and my co-​workers all thought it was good but heavy food. I’d say if you can get past the lack of customer service then you’ll get a fairly decent authentic tasting Mexican meal.

Delicious food. I ordered the chicken soup which was so yummy. The guacamole was delicious and the chorizo tacos were awesome. I would come again if I had the chance. Service was great and friendly and the place was clean and cute.

I’ve rediscovered Angie’s once again. I am happy to see that they have grown from their humble but delicious beginnings on IH-​35. I remember going there on Wednesdays for their «Costilla Special’. On my recent trip for SXSW I saw this beautiful burt orange building with the name Angie’s stamped on the façade. I asked if it was the same that I remembered on IH-​35. After an affirmative answer I had to go in and order my usual. Oh my god! It was huge. I cant believe I was able to eat the whole plate when I was younger. Well it was delicious but I had to take a doggy bag.
I would’ve given it a 5 Strs but one of the young waitress had a little bit of attitude. I hope next time I go she id off.

Best damn Tex Mex around! Love this place and Angie. Great food, service and cold beer, if you don’t like this place go back to where you came from! This is how you do it baby.

Great smiling service!
Love their chips and spicy slow burn salsa.
Enjoyed finding a place where we could get in without a wait on a cold damp Saturday.
I ordered the migas, and they are heavy on tortillas. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but it’s a thing you might want to know. Potatoes need work (not crispy), beans just average.
If you’re looking for Machaca a la El Paso (as the BF was), the Machacado plate at Angie’s does not resemble that dish at all. Which isn’t to say that he did not eat it. He did.

I have been to Angie’s a number of years ago at their previous location (where Uncorked is now at 7^th and 35), but hadn’t been since they moved down the road. I’ve been stuck on Joe’s Bakery. We gave Angie’s a try and were not disappointed.
I knew the best thing they had going was the corn tortillas, so I got the carne guisada. Holy smokes it was good. The salsa was HHHHHOOOOOTT and we literally drank it up. The carne guisada was not overbearing with flavor and there was no gristle in the meat as can often be the case at some restaurants. We washed it all down with a stack of those thick, wonderful corn tortillas. The other thing that blew my mind was the refried beans. Terrific flavor.
They were fairly full for lunch, but there was still plenty seating. There is a garage evidently behind the building. Their lot on 7^th was tight.
Angie’s just got back in the rotation. Can’t wait to go again.

Great, great little place just a few blocks away from I-​35 on east 7^th. 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 ;)

Angie’s is okay… probably a 2.5 stars overall. It sort of reminded me of fast food served on real plates. However, the décor of the restaurant is pretty good… with a nice patio set up and a nice entry way. This is what led me, and probably most patrons, to try Angie’s. We went Friday at 7pm… most places are packed at that time, but Angie’s was relatively uncrowded, which isn’t usually a good sign.
The food that I had was okay… nothing bad, nothing good. Again to emphasize, I’d compare it to fast food Mexican cuisine. It wasn’t bad, it just didn’t seem like restaurant grade food, was smaller, lackluster portions, and definitely didn’t live up to the atmosphere of the physical location (especially being in the East side, known for good Mexican food). Even the salsa and chips seemed to be lacking something. I’d highly recommend Angie’s try some new recipes, especially since it has so many other pieces in place that would work in its favor.
We ended up leaving after about 45 minutes… which for me and my group on a Friday night is unheard of. Typically we will stick around an hour after we finish eating for more drinks, dessert, but the energy wasn’t there, and the night was young. .so we made our way to Silo, which brings me to the other pro… the location is surrounded by some nice bars.
If you just want to check out the patio and have a Pacifico, give it a try. But for more flavorful food, there are many options all around Austin. For more energy, go to Baby A or Chuy’s.
