" I can’t say enough good things about El Secreto de Abuela! The flavors here are so authentic—it’s like a trip to Mexico without leaving Austin. I had their barbacoa and it was heavenly.

I'll keep recommending it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I had the Enchiladas Verdes after hearing about it from friends and they were incredible! The verde sauce was perfectly balanced, and the portion sizes were adequate. The place may look small and unassuming, but don't let that fool you. The flavors here are rich and genuine. Service was attentive, and the meals were served quickly. I can't wait to come back and try their breakfast tacos next. " (*Curated Review*)

It feels a bit like being part of a family dinner. It’s not fancy, but the authenticity is undeniable. I highly suggest trying the lunch specials; they're an excellent value! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had lunch here and was pretty pleased. The steak tacos were great! They have a nice fixed menu, and the prices are quite reasonable. I was a little surprised by the atmosphere as it felt homey rather than restaurant-like. The service was kind and attentive, making the experience entertaining. I will certainly be back to try more dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at El Secreto de Abuela and was thoroughly impressed by the fresh flavors. The tacos were bursting with taste and the homemade tortillas were a nice touch. However, I would definitely recommend a stricter cleaning routine as the tables could have used a wipe down. Will consider giving it another chance, hopefully with an improved vibe next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit El Secreto de Abuela, I fall more in love with their food. The enchiladas are a must-try; they’re bursting with flavor and come with a side of delectable rice. The portions are quite satisfying for the price, and the environment is relaxed and cozy. It’s not extravagant, but it definitely feels welcoming. I find myself going back often!
