After two visits here it is safe to say that this establishment does not register food sensitivities or full out things that people are completely intolerant to. The first time I ate here cheese was on my tacos after I confirmed that it was dairy free. As it was melted on the bottom I didn't realize it. The manager was very nice about it but I was incredibly sick for two weeks. The second time, after saying I had an extreme dairy intolerance and also gluten intolerance I was served guacamole with cheese and chips that were cross contaminated. Another order of guacamole took almost 40 minutes and had the same chips. Service was horrible for the second meal. It's a shame because some of the food is really tasty.

El Chile Café Y Cantina is a true gem! The tacos, burritos, and migas are exceptional, bursting with authentic flavors. The friendly service adds to the welcoming vibe of the place, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. This spot is perfect for a satisfying meal and good company. I'll definitely be back to share this restaurant with more friends!
Our server JL was THE BEST! We ate here before the Madonna show and there were lots of people going to the same event, they played Madonna and brought the good vibes before the show!!

I made a brunch reservation for my birthday for the patio and they would not give me the table I reserved when we arrived. The man at the host with the shorts that were shorter than underwear and herp on his eye was extremely rude and unaccommodating despite the empty tables on the patio. Avoid this place the service is TERRIBLE.

Mike, our server went the extra mile to fix my order when the sauce I ordered came out wrong.

What is wrong with Yelp? This place is amazing. Great food, great drinks, great service. I know Austin runs at a different level but this place is legit.

last minute booking. It was a spectacular experience. Margaritas weren't too sweet. One of ordered something that they didn't like and they happily exchanged it without cost. Chips light and crispy. Both appetizers and entrees were interesting, tasty and the portions were excellent. the service was attentive but not overbearing. A truly lovely experience.

Has this place been discovered yet?! My vegetarian relleno was fabulous - the red and green sauces were each deep and rich with tongue-popping flavor, each in a unique but complementary way. The side salad of fresh tomatoes, spinach, basil and cotija was pleasantly unexpected and each bite reset my palette to absorb the next delicious bite of relleno. The vegetarian pezole was also lovely and flavorful. Even the salsas with the warm chips were a special taste of heaven. Compliments to the chef!

The food was delicious and the restaurant was cute and nice. Overall a great place, the only small problem was that it took about 40 minutes for the food to arrive. Granted, we were a party of nine, but if you are more than about 3 people and in a rush I wouldn't recommend going here, but everything else about it was great.

This used to be our go to place 2 years ago. Now the food has totally changed where the quality went down a bit. Even the drinks were almost like fruit juices.
