Elmyr

Can't believe it took me so long to come here! Straightforward, delicious, and friendly staff. Will definitely be returning.

Came around 10:45pm on a Friday night. Small crowd with loud fun music. Tons of seating space if you don't want to be part of the tiny party. It felt like being in a 80's misfit vibe movie. Food was more like 3/5. Not great Mexican food but will get the job done if you are a little drunk, hung over, or about to drink lol I personally would only come back if I can't find food at 11pm but this place would be 5/5 stars for someone else lol Loved the Halloween decorations. Tons of street parking outside.

I'll admit that I almost left, but my colleague convinced me to stay. I'm so happy that she did.Taste/Textures: 5/5The food was absolutely delicious. I had the fajita burrito, it was cooked perfectly, and had the right amount of fillings and cheese sauce. I added broccoli as well inside of the burrito. The food was absolutely delicious.

Value: 5/5Bottom Line : 5/5I highly recommend this bar, the crowd was definitely rocker type, and there was no music really playing so the air was full of conversations; including ours . Interestingly enough, a lot of people showed each other their tattoos, which was quite entertaining as well.

My friend and I dropped by here for lunch after exploring L5P. We didn't realize the Tex-Mex restaurant is more of a dive bar. Space is tight, but I loved the vibe! The atmosphere was so much fun, and service was quick. I ordered the Fajita Burrito and it was delicious. I'm glad we discovered this place. I'll be back!

My friends and I decided to check out Elmyr the last time we were in L5P for a Friday night dinner! L5P is pretty easy to find residential street parking, but we also realized later there's also parking behind the building! Seating is "seat yourself" and it was busy, but we were able to find a table quickly, which on a Friday night is HUGE! Much appreciated.Service is a little slow and the restaurant is a little divey, but honestly it fits the vibes of L5P and for a casual Friday night dinner with friends, it's kind of the perfect place. We ordered a couple of house margs and those absolutely get you your money's worth! We also ordered a triple drip combo (salsa, queso, guac) and chips and they were pretty average. The salsa was watery, the queso tasted like ballpark nachos, but the guac was pretty solid. Entrees, we ordered chilaquiles, shrimp quesadilla, and the pad thai burrito. The chilaquiles were missing tortillas or tortilla chips on the bottom, the shrimp quesadilla was simple but solid, and the pad thai burrito was surprisingly delicious, really interesting concept and flavors! Overall, not the best Mexican food I've had, but really reasonable prices, great drinks, and great vibes. Not a bad pick if you're in L5P!

We decided to finally come here after it being in our list for so long. There is some parking behind the building but we street parked which was easy enough. When you walk in, it is seat yourself so we found a table quickly. Service was slow but not terrible. We ordered some drinks and the chips for the table. The guac was the most amazing part of the trio! Delicious! The salsa was slightly watery and the queso was a little kid but overall just fine! For my main, I got the shrimp quesadilla which was giant and juicy! Was the food the most amazing thing on the planet? No but to me it gets a 4 because everything was well priced for some decent Mexican food and was fine! I've had better but I've also had better at ridiculous price points. Good for what it offers and not crazy expensive! And the margarita was strong so you definitely get your money worth there!

Wednesday night dinner with some friends and enjoyed the bartenders Sam and Louis hospitality. Very opening, genuinely nice, and respectful gentlemen. The timing of the food and drinks when placed were very appropriate of about 5-10 mins if faster. Very detailed and well delivered. If you love spicy like myself, try the hot sauces in a bottle. Definitely enjoyed my time and atmosphere! Highly recommend. Everyone who even delivered the food to the bar was amazing and attentive with respect.

Elmyr combines my two favorite things-dive bars and Tex-Mex- and does it so well that it has become one my new favorite spots in town. A taste of home for this displaced Texan, Elmyr gives off heavy Austin vibes with its grungy interior, metal soundtrack, and greasy spoon Mexican fare that just warms my heart. We stopped in rather late on a Saturday evening and found a perfect high-top for two. After starting out with a couple of pretty good margs, we shared the chips and queso before digging in. From their ample vegetarian options, she went with the tofu quesadilla, whereas I had to try the migas, which were as good as any I've had back home. Elmyr gives me everything I need in a fun night out and we will be frequenting this spot for years to come.

Bartender was extremely rude! We had came for a quick bite to eat and a drink. We sat down and never received menus , or water. We asked the bartender if he could make my sister drink sweet and he said no. So we just stuck to regular house margaritas. Any questions we had about the food or drinks. He either didn't respond or had a nasty response. I don't know if he had a terrible day but that is not how you treat customers. My sister then asked what type of wines did they have. He said we have white and red. She said what type of white. He said white... Eventually someone else was starting to help us instead. Once we asked for our checks I tipped him $5 even though he did not deserve it! Mind you we still did not receive water. My sister did not tipped. The bartender preceded to ask what did he do to deserve no tip. My sister responded and said he did not deserve it . He got loud and said we were rude and did not tip him in front of the entire restaurant. And said he has to tip out servers . informed bartender I tipped him $5, his service was terrible and he did not help or check on us. He only made my one drink and someone else assisted us. If he feels like that way then can I scratch out the tip I gave just because. He said no you cannot .Then he said we need to leave and proceeded to yell at us to leave the bar. I have worked in the nightlife and bar industry for 5 years. I am all for tipping a server or bartender even when they don't deserve it. But this experience was uncalled for. I thought I found a great bar for me to come to late night . WORST EXPERIENCE EVER WILL NEVER COME BACK !

The food is goddamn delicious with expediency and flavorful delights. The staff, however, with a few exceptions (I think) are tight ass, very unfriendly, rude and just, ya know. Not cool.
