Very kind staff! I ordered one taco as well as fajita quesadilla which were both very delicious. salsa was hot but not too hot just the right amount. most entrees ranged from about 15-23 bucks if i remember correctly which is completely fair for the quality and quantity. the ambiance of this place was reminiscent of some of my favorite childhood spots back in houston and for that alone id give a 6th star if i had the chance to. will be coming back soon

Stopped in for breakfast. This has been one of my fave Tex-Mex places for a couple of decades. Family owned and operated with the friendliest service. Had Chilaquiles and the kid had migas. Both dishes were great and the portions are huge. Priced appropriately.

Stopped in during a visit to Austin. Tried it based on the reviews, and after walking out spending $70 on one combination, a large queso, two sodas, two beers and a shot of tequila. The sad thing was that the flavor of the food was so bland. Even the queso. The service was subpar. The server was texting on her phone while we were still waiting on silverware. I won't visit again. The one thing I can say is the menu is huge. That's what I'm rating it a 3 and not a 2. There are prob other things on the menu more flavorful.

Still a great spot after all these years. Updating as the most recent review says this place is shut down. It's not.Of course they serve lunch & dinner and those are also great, but their chilaquiles con salsa verde are a great way to start a day. Instant life upgrade.Buen provecho!

Food was ok service was great but thinking of not returning since the way they prepare the barbacoa was different and wasn't as tasty, also the consomé didn't taste good and was really salty..

Didn't take any pics because we were very hungry and ready to eat. Out of the six of us in my party, two enjoyed their plates. I ordered the chicken flautas with black beans, it was average and I was okay with it. The chicken and beans were salty, but the rice was good. It came with a generous amt of sour cream, lettuce, and guacamole. Someone else ordered the chicken enchiladas with suiza sauce, they didn't finish half the plate because the chicken was overly salty. The Birria plate was not what we expected, maybe it's a different style based on the owner's area but we were not fans. The steak quesadilla was pretty amazing, I got a piece from my neighbor's plate and it was honestly so good. Perfectly crisp and a generous portion. Two people in our party ordered the beef burritos, one ground beef and one beef fajita. They both weren't my taste, but my friend liked the beef fajita one a lot. I guess this can get mixed reviews, but if you ask me I wouldn't be set on coming back.As for the service, it was great. The servers were polite and attentive. We came on a Friday around 3pm so there wasn't a wait since it was slow.

When we come to El Borrego de Oro, we usually come for breakfast. I brought my sister and parents here since my parents were in town and prefer a Mexican breakfast. I ordered the green chilaquiles with two over easy eggs, sour cream, and a side of beans. They were so delicious and filling. This is my go-to when I come here. My sister ordered the barbacoa taco and opted for the corn tortilla. The taco was packed in a good way! The corn tortillas are home made - legit! They also have a delicious salsa verde and she added some to her taco. The salsa verde is addicting! My mom ordered the papas a la Mexicana taco and really liked it. She's very picky so the fact that she liked it, says a lot about this place. She opted for a flour tortilla, but those were not home made. My dad ordered the small menudo and it was more than enough for him.
