Rude staff and management, bunch of bitter mean people working here.
The best food! I'm picky about my rice but they NAIL it! I've never had anything that wasn't fantastic :) The atmosphere is wonderful and the servers are awesome. Love this place!
Having my daughter there at school I'm excited to take her out to eat when I go visit her. Our waiter a young man was very pleasant and prompt with our food. The food was delicious even my picky mom loved it. It was sorority night so of course it was very loud but other then that we will definitely be going back.
If I could give this less than 1 star I would. My friends and I just received the worst service absolutely possible. The young male waiter who approached us was the rudest man I have ever experienced and abruptly asked us to close out for no reason whatsoever. Even though he wasn't even our waiter. We quickly reported to the manager who only offered us a new server and nothing else. Didn't seem to care at all. The worst service and disrespect I have ever received at a restaurant.

Hey Lily, we replied to your Yelp review about the same situation. We have handled the situation internally and would love to make this right. Please email upper management at NATE@elmercadorestaurant.com so we can take care of you. Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent food and atmosphere. Next time in Austin we will definitely visit again.
Let me tell you Matt is amazing and our waitress Lilah was also amazing! So I have to say if you want the most awesome margarita get the Don and have Matt make this drink for you! I don't know what he does but it's freaking awesome! He is worth an extra tip! Seriously amazing!
I rarely eat when I go there. But will say their frozen margaritas are great! Matt the tall bartender was awesome. Very nice guy. I'll stop in again when I'm the area. I'm in that part of town once a week for business. It's a good stopping place to let traffic die. And get your Rita's at the same time!
Stopped in since I needed to be close to the Scottish Rite Theater. Brisket tacos were excellent, margaritas were great, and service was over the top. Can't wait to go back.
