La Familia Mexican Restaurant Austin

Fantastic service, love the street tacos and enchiladas, daily specials are great, happy hour (4-7pm) drinks are amazing.

Very interesting, in a strip mall, but! Killer food, family owned as you will see, was very happy!

The quality of the food has gone downhill in the last couple years. Definitely not worth $15 (14.95 to be exact) for 32oz of rice. Enchiladas are always soggy and the tortillas and usually underdone. Please put the love back into your food.

The breakfast we ordered was not very tasty and not very warm. The service was lukewarm as well. There are better options close by. Not terrible but not that good.

Had the shrimp a la Mexicana. It was great. So were the beans. I will be back. Prices are very good.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in south Austin. We went here for the first time when there was a wait at the Chuy's close by. When we actually got the food, we realized what we were missing or got used to by eating at the Chuy's which we don't think matches up to the food here. The service is also fast considering it's not a huge place.

We now go here often for lunch.

The barbacoa is horrible! But, that is not the problem. $9.00 for a little side guacamole. Price gouging much? Be careful with this place! I will be reporting this as well. And of course…. ”the manager is not here”

Authentic Mexican Food, delicious! Great staff, cozy albeit a small sitting area. But truly great food for a great price. I have finally found one of the best Mexican food restaurants in Austin after moving from Houston a year ago - a very high bar!

Found this gem and it’s my new favorite spot for breakfast tacos and margaritas! You’re missing out if you haven’t been by. The service and food are both AMAZING! I know a good breakfast taco, and this is it.

Called and spoke to Araceli. I asked if the tortillas were vegetarian and she said: We buy the corn tortillas.

I asked if they make the flour tortillas and she again said: We buy corn tortillas.

I asked if they had lard and whether the flour ones on their menu were vegetarian and she said: "They come in clear bags. I don’t know exactly, but I’m pretty sure they don’t. So I can say no, but I don’t know for sure. I eat them. "

I said, "Okay, but you eating them doesn't mean anything unless you're vegetarian. So you could say no, there's no lard, but you'd be making that answer up? "

Araceli: Yes.

She then said that the rice had chicken flavor, the beans and queso were "definitely vegetarian" (take that with a huge grain of salt), and when I asked about the enchilada sauce she said: We have different kinds.

Me: Do they have chicken stock?

Araceli: We have different types.

Me: Okay, do they have chicken stock?

Araceli: Yes, some do, but we have different types.

Me: Okay, so which ones are vegetarian?

Araceli: Ummm, do you want to call back later?

Me: No, I'm trying to find somewhere to go to dinner.

Araceli: Okay, but we're getting busy. So I can't help you.

I ordered 3 breakfast Tacos the picadillo and potatoe, the migas and another one I can't remember the name of they were very bland. The salsa also was bland. I was not offered any other kind of salsa by the waitress except the one we were using for our chips they gave us.

I love this place always get the burritos and I swear it reminds me of my grandmas cooking. Everyone their is so friendly! The food always comes out fast!

Came here once because it is pretty close and seemed to be rated pretty well on Google. I’m not sure exactly why though, sadly. It may have been literally *the worst* Mexican food I’ve eaten. At the very least the most disappointing. Potentially one of the most disappointing food experiences…ever, in general. Paid for the mushroom enchiladas (topped with cheese and tomatillo salsa) and…no joke, there was a small line of single mushrooms inside the enchiladas, nothing else inside- no cheese. On top there was barely any cheese. A couple months later I was doordashing and got a pickup from there. When I was inside, a fellow was really mad about the same thing I experienced. Barely anything in his food. The employee was telling him off and making him feel like he was crazy. I will never come here again. I really wanted a good meal. $17 for nothing. The beans were so-so. Not sure who can put together an enchilada, look at it, and think that that is a good meal to serve someone. I’ve worked in kitchens half of my life and would never send something that looked like that out. I’d feel too bad about it. I ate it all because I at least wanted to get SOMETHING out of it. And didn’t say anything to the waitress because I didn’t want to have to go through all that. Still tipped normally and left. I decided to take a photo near the end. Not the best photo but… this is how the entire enchilada was on the inside. One skinny row of small, flat mushrooms only. Folded in a corn tortilla. I left hungry, less money, disappointed and baffled at how they could serve someone that.

4.5 stars. The food was awesome and great service. We live close to Liberty Hill but was in south Austin and a friend recommended this place. Glad he did! Wish we had one closer to us but it is definitely worth the drive next time we go.
