Zilker, Austin ยท restaurant
Built into a natural rock formation with stone staircases, waterfalls, and dense tropical greenery, El Alma rises through multiple levels to a rooftop patio with one of the better skyline views in Austin. The contemporary Mexican menu leans heavily on Texas ingredients (redfish, quail, lamb) while the margarita list runs deep, with the serrano-spiked Flaquita as the reliable opening move.
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
