In Short
Diners wanting quick bites or no frills discover basic Mexican meals and treats at this converted fast-food stand. Breakfast is offered all day and seating is provided on a limited outdoor patio near the counter. Using unique recipes created by El Chile's chefs, cooks prepare tacos and burritos with fillings such as Yucatan-braised pork, chili-seared chicken, and a peppery vegetable mix. Coffees, muffins, scones, rolls, brownies, and frozen fruit-flavored desserts make for convenient indulgences.

I'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 with a side of black beans. The employees are really friendly as well.

good 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 insted. Two, the last time I went they were outa puffy taco's which would have been ok, but they did not tell me until after taking my order and money while they did offer to change my order I didnt want anything else and just need my cash back and I got shorted a few bucks. I didnt notice till I got home, still I probably go back as I assume it was just a mistake.
