What People Are Saying About Angie's Restaurant
Featured Review

In Short – Traditional border favorites are served in this brightly colored building on East Seventh Street, evoking images both of Mexico City manors and country ranch homes. Behind the massive wooden doors, the open dining room features Mexican tile floors, wrought iron fixtures and colorful accents, and is suited for even the most discerning patron. Specialties include carnitas and caldos, in addition to classic dishes featuring Angie's delicious made-from-scratch corn tortillas.

This is not a good place to eat
by firstladyperu at Citysearch
We tried to give this place a chance. On my first visit to Angie's my sister find something in her food. We call the waiter over to the table to see if he could tell what it was, and he didn't even know what it was. We told them that it was ok and that it could happen to anybody however they did give her a disccount on her meal. Well we went back and the food was watered down so much that we couldn't even tell what it was, so once again we gave them another chance, but when went back it took the waiter forever to wait on us, and when she did she came back to the table with a baskest of burned up chips a cup of sauce that look like someone else had already used, and to top that off she didn't even bring us what we ordered. They never even came back to refill our drinks, and we had to ask them if we could have more chips. So we never plan to returning to this place again
- Pros: noting good to say about this place at all

BAD
by djackson at Citysearch
I'm so disappointed in Angie's. I went to this restaurant in the old location twice and both times had a good meal. Recently I had company in town and we went here for breakfast. The new location has tile floors and a wood ceiling. Talk about loud! I couldn't hear what anyone was saying at my table and the place was only half full. I guess the waiter couldn't hear me either because I was brought the wrong meal. The food was very disappointing. No taste, flavor or kick. Just mediocre cafeteria slop. To top it off, my last bite had a piece of wire in it. Luckily I didn't swallow it. Sorry Angie, but I have to give you a 1 star. The parking is also way too tight...
- Pros: new restaurant
- Cons: bland food, parking

Salsa and Corn Tortillas to Die For
by Austindry at Citysearch
Angie should sell her salsa in bottles to go. It's some of the freshest, hottest and tastiest in all of Austin - and I've tried most of them. The corn tortillas are the best in town too. And the best way to eat them is filled with tender carnitas (pork) or tasty beef. I always get the soft taco plate because for me - Angie's is all about the tacos.
The new restaurant is definitely an improvement over the old space, but the seating and service system could use some tweaking for busy times - like most days during the lunch hours. When you first enter, there can be a crowd of people inside the door, waiting to be seated or waiting to pay or trying to figure out what they should be doing - since it's not clear. On top of all that confusion, the bus boys have to cross the entryway. There is sometimes a waiting list, but you may have to fight your way to the front counter to get on it.
The new parking lot is designed so poorly that if you pull in and can't park, you have to BACK OUT into traffic on 7th Street! If someone pulls in behind you, just take a deep breath because it will take awhile to untangle the snarl.
Despite these drawbacks, I still can't keep myself from a weekly visit.
