el chile off manor

[Texas97]

Texas Monthly gave it a really good review. i had passed it many times on my way to muellers so i decided to stop in the other day. i was impressed. i had no idea that this place was going to be any good.

Try Vivo Cocino across from Hoovers next time.

Not your typical TexMex but alot of interesting stuff and a great space of deck to relax and have a rita.

El Chile is definitely good.

I agree, Vivo is worth checking out as well. I'll have to try El Chile.

i love el chile, particularly their flan, which is the best i think i've ever had.

 

[unpaintedhuffhines]

both places are excellent.

Vivo has a good lunch menu and also has a cool bar if you go at night

El Chile was excellent for dinner.

both places are great date places, fyi

That whole little corridor is awesome. Mi Madre's, Eastside Cafe, Vivo, Hoover's, Mueller's, El Chile...not a lineup to sniff at. There is another taco place coming in the Kestrel Pringing parking lot (Manor and Chestnut).

Vivo is greatness; El Chile has been hit or miss, but mostly very good. By the way, I wouldn't read TX Monthly for food reviews, particularly Tex-Mex. Their Tex-Mex issue was a complete joke. Anybody that likes Gueros that much can't know what they're talking about.

Texas Monthly did review a restaurant in town that's well worth going to, but I'm not going to say which one it was since it's already gotten more crowded.

el chile does indeed rock. been there for lunch a few times. i have been to vivio (sp?) for HH only. they have a mean michelada. in fact, they use celery salt and i have copied that now.

MMMMmmm Micheladas sound good right now. Check this stuff out if you like themThe Link . The Especial is the way to go, with a little clamato, tabasco, and celery salt. Delish.

the blackbean chicken enchiladas at El Chile is my favorite dish in Austin right now

 

[orangebones]

the enfrijoladas? yeah, they're really good. the shrimp dishes are great too. the only thing about the place is that the sauce don't have no heat. it's really tasty, but a little more heat would make it amazing. we go there often.
