El Chile's takeout-stand sibling. Get the fish taco. Tinga de pollo is pretty good too. And frozen sangria!

Don't miss the queso fundido, shrimp enchiladas, or spicy chilango margarita. If you love the smoky chipotle salsa they sell jars to take home.
3 Maudie's $$ Mexican
2608 W. 7th, Austin, TXListed by
An oldie but a goodie. Several locations around Austin.
4 Polvo's $$ Mexican
2004 S. 1st St., Austin, TXListed by
Veggie enchiladas. The salsa bar is amazing. Nice outdoor patio.
5 Guero's $$ Mexican
1412 S. Congress Ave., Austin, TXListed by
Great top-shelf margaritas. Snag an outdoor sidewalk table if you can for terrific people-watching.
6 Curra's $$ Mexican
614 E. Oltorf St., Austin, TXListed by
Wonderful breakfast. Black bean breakfast tacos are always a good bet. Same with chilaquiles and chicken soup. The avocado margarita is tasty and very filling.

8 Vivo $$ Mexican
2015 Manor Rd., Austin, TXListed by
A little pricier than some of the others on this list. Great margaritas for sipping on their lush, plant-decked patio. Excellent beef nachos. All the ladies receive roses at the end of the meal.
9 Fonda San Miguel $$$ Mexican
2330 W. North Loop, Austin, TXListed by
An upscale old-timer. Amazing prix-fixe brunch--be sure to make a reservation for that.
10 Matt's El Rancho $ Mexican
2613 South Lamar Boulevard, Austin, TXListed by
Can't forget this sprawling, old-school bad boy. Great enchiladas, queso, most things!
