In it’s location on Barton Springs Road within a funky multi-tiered structure built into a limestone hillside, the restaurant bar’s staircase is set against a rock wall adorned with tropical plants and a waterfall and leads up to an expansive outdoor patio. The patio itself may be the best reason to visit El Alma, but the food takes that honor.
Here, Alcocer cooks with a passion and inviting hospitality as if you were in her own home serving a variety of dishes that reflect her own style as well as the evolving palates of Austin diners. Bright white-washed walls accented by colorful local art bring a refreshing vibrancy to the atmosphere. From the bar, guests can enjoy specialty margaritas such as Chilanga, tequila with sangrita, cucumber mojitos, and a fresh twist on the Michelada.
El Alma’s bold and flavorful food, fresh and friendly atmosphere, and laid-back neighborhood feel have given truth to the idea that when you combine two like-minded friends with a mission to bring good food to the Austin dining scene, you’re sure to win a loyal following.
