    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.

    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!

    Whoa whoa whoa, soo good! We got the mole enchiladas and verde burrito. Among the best Tex-Mex I've had in Austin. I'm not kidding. Our plates came out piping hot which was oddly a nice touch. Also the queso with avocado and ground beef was decadent. Server was kind, attentive, and didn't rush us out even though we were there until a few minutes past closing. This is definitely one of those hole in the walls that you'd never know about otherwise. I will most definitely be back!

    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.
