Hands Down the best Mexican Food in Austin. Curra's Grill specializes in MEXICAN fare, this is the real deal. Being from Detroit whose famous Mexican Town is known for its Central Mexican cuisine; Curra's is my go to place when I don't want Tex-Mex. Mexican Cuisine is more than Tacos and Burritos and Curra's does not disappoint. I am a coffee drinker so I can not vouch for the Avocado Margarita, but I can tell you that I have witnessed it causing my dinner companions flavor orgasms.
I grew up in Mexico, and this food is so authentic interior. I had a cream of zucchini squash cold soup last week, and it is so velvetty....beautiful !
Today I wanted something heartier cuz it is raining all day, and had enchiladas with jack filling "smothered " in carne guisada and luscious gravy, and refired black beans. The rice was so delicious, a version of dirty rice ( no tomato sauce) with corn kernels that complemented my dish to no end. I sat and smiled at everyone until I had eaten all I could hold. The wait staff were so gracious and attentive, made real talk about what I was enjoying, and made me feel like I was in Momma's kitchen~
Am going back for more as soon as possible, since I live in North Austin....am certain was best enchilada plate have ever been served ~ Yummmmmmmm
First time to try. Met family for breakfast. Service was spot on what you want from your waitress. Coffee was yummy. Wait was minimal and food was fresh and hot. I didn't get to take photos of everything we ordered because we couldn't wait to try it all. Had a great time because we had so much great food and we not rushed out by staff. I recommend this place if you are looking for good Mexican food with an interesting twist. Try it!
This restaurant is a gem! Their avocado margaritas are simply awesome, such a delightful twist on a classic. The bartender was super sweet and ready to give recommendations for dinner and around town. We really appreciated getting to chat. She was busy but ready to answer all our questions. This is a must-visit spot for unique drinks and a great atmosphere
Absolutely fantastic place, the interior was well decorated and super clean - service was great and the food was definitely on point!
We got in right away and the service was fast.
Super reasonable pricing as well, a definite recommendation if you’re anywhere near there, and looking for some authentic Mexican cuisine.
Solid local stalwart I love coming back to. They say variety is the spice of life in this case life had a wonderful spicy variety: I LOVE the salsa sampler.
I legit was embarrassing and ate a whole cup of the queso with licorice, guacamole, and piccadillo in it. I had the zucchini soup but it wasn’t for me. That mole stole the show for me.
I will be back again and again for the chill, and even still, neighborhood vibe.
Especially going back for the mole.
(The manager is phenomenal)

We're local in the neighborhood since 2019 and have always loved going to Curra's; this colorful, south Austin staple is a gem. My review is simply some feedback to the restaurant about our experience there yesterday. It seems like after their big refurbishment this year, a couple of things might have changed?
The bar menu doesn't have any prices listed on them. I can understand posting a bar menu online without the prices, but when you're already sitting at the bar, I think it's better for a casual, family-style restaurant to go ahead and share the prices with their customers. We had ordered 2 regular frozen lime margaritas and our waitress kindly suggested that we upgrade to the special margaritas which we took her advice and ordered. They were delicious. We ordered a 3rd margarita to share and chips and salsa. When she told us the total at the end however, we were both shocked...$45 for 3 drinks and chips/salsa only! Turns out each drink was $13 and chips/salsa was $3. My feedback that is that the drink prices seemed steep for a family-owned, family-style restaurant. While wonderful, the margaritas glasses are not big, especially for $13. I probably would feel better about this if there was more transparency from the start! I can understand why a restaurant wants to charge for chips & salsa to cover some of its costs, but as a born and bred Texan, I guess being charged for a TexMex staple feels a little nickel & dimed. We will continue to support Curra's going forward but hoping to see more transparency on the menus.
They have great avocado margaritas! Mole enchiladas were not amazing but my caldo Tlalpeno was AMaZIng, my boyfriend doesn’t usually eat soup but ate all of mine. I’ve been for lunch and dinner times. Most of their tacos are good. They entrees/plates are large and filling. Everyone who works here is really friendly and attentive. They are super busy weekends !

Curra's has been an Austin classic in Interior (Traditional) Mexican food for almost 30 years. If you haven't been yet, it's time to go now.
The service has always been top notch for us. The food and drinks are always exactly what we're craving.
First, start your meal off with an Avocado Margarita (not pictured) and the Salsa Sampler. Their Avocado Margaritas have a fun consistency with bright marg flavor. The salsa sampler is a really great way to experiment with many of the flavors on their menu.
For this meal, my boyfriend got the Enchiladas con Chile Colorado. The pork tips on top of the enchiladas were tender and the sauce they were smothered in had a bold, guajillo flavor. I got the Cancun Relleno. It's a big poblano stuffed with shrimp, pineapple, and peppers then covered with a chipotle cream sauce. I really liked that the poblano wasn't fried as it would have taken away from the rest of the ingredients. I would definitely get it again.
Next time you're craving Mexican, change it up from good 'ol Tex-Mex and come give Curra's a try!
Kristina is THE BEST bartender we've ever had at a restaurant!! Friendly, attentive, outgoing and personable. She recommended the Jalapeno Cucumber marg and it was the best margarita we've ever had.
And as always, the food was delicious 😋
Very pleased with the food. The service was decent. The atmosphere was very authentic

The food and drinks where so good! I got the Enchiladas con Chile Colorado and an a avocado margarita. The enchiladas where cheese covered in a unspicy guajillo & chipotle sauce. It was so tasty! The margarita was such a unique experience, in that it was really smooth, I would definitely recommend checking it out.
