The BEST Tex-Mex in Austin. The creative foodies behind this establishment make everything from scratch. The margaritas are the best. The food is delightful and fresh. Say hi to Joel the owner and tell him Kerthy sent you. I am not a huge Tex-mex person, but I always make a stop at El Dorado.

I love the unique combination of Indian and Tex-Mex. The cocktails are delicious and unusual as well. This is a fun place for a food adventure, but I find myself craving the tikka maslal and ionion fritters.

Sure, its a corner store, a deli, a quickmart, but as anyone knows who has ever had delicious Pakistani or Mexican or Chinese food from the back of a store made by an ambitious mama bear, this is a great spot to pick up Nepalese momos or samosas to go.
