on Citysearch Aug 10, 2009Opening multiple locations is a classic move for successful Austin restauranteurs. This is probably the closest offspring from the original; they're on the same street, serving virtually identical menus. This... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 11, 2009I'm excited that we finally got an El Chilito in downtown Austin. There's a dearth of good, cheap lunch places here, especially since we lost the Torchy's on 6th street. I love having breakfast taco and a Mexican Coke... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 07, 2008good food and really good puffy tacos. Just make sure not to put the bag on your lap otherwise you WILL have a grease spot on you. Only had two problems ever. One the sangrias are never strong enough, just get a large beer... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 22, 2008Stop by El Chilito for some cheese-y Austin charm--heavy on BOTH cheese (as in the dairy product, not Celine Dion) AND the bewitchery of local Austin at its finest. Keep in mind you may wait in line forever, to order... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 18, 2007May I humbly suggest that seahorse777 may have been dining at El Chile instead of little sister El Chilito? They are down the street from one another. El Chile is more of a full service restaurant.... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 08, 2007My boyfriend and I decided to eat here after reading the reviews here. We had pretty high expectations! We were horribly dissapointed. Our waitress was pretty rude, to start with. We ordered the queso as an apetizer.... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 04, 2007When I get home late from work, I usually take the 21/22 bus. On the horizon as I walk to my up-and-coming trendy college "hood," I see El Chilito. It isn't normal that I get a warm fuzzy feeling for a small shack with funny... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 31, 2006This place is so fantastic. My family of three ate here for under twenty dollars and left stuffed and very happy. I can't wait for the summer to be over so that I'll feel more compelled to hang out and eat on their patio. We... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 12, 2006This place seems very hip and trendy - which is ok because the food is outstanding. I hate it when a place has attitude and can't back it up with a good meal. It's also relatively cheap. Glad I found this place!... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 03, 2006This place is wonderful. Service is semi friendly and fast. My favorites, the fish tacos (you can get a plate with rice and beans), the fruit cup that comes with a chili power, and the coffee (it is much better then the... (more)
