    What makes it fun

    At El Naranjo Restaurant & Bar we are committed to serving mouth-watering, traditional Mexican food. We create salsas and moles, well-seasoned food with a focus on balancing flavors. We make our own tortillas in-house daily, bake our own bread, and use fresh vegetables and herbs. We aim at drawing from the numerous sources of inspiration found in plenty of Mexican cuisine traditions.

    Oaxacan mole was authentic AF. Killer cocktails. The flan was traditional Mexican style.

    Just a fantastic restaurant. Everyone here is a professional, no cutsie, theme-ie, non-sense Austin stuff here. Great service, great food, great prices (high, for serious foodie clientele only). Wonderful experience.

    Such a cute little spot! With excellent, authentically delicious Oaxaca dishes too. The chef was so nice to come and greet all the tables at opening. The café de olla (which comes with free refills) and the hot chocolate are fantastic drink options for brunch.

    We were visiting Austin last week and I found this place while looking for some good Tex-Mex. We did not have a reservation, but got there early and were seated at the bar, which has the same menu. So glad we found it!The food and drinks were all excellent and unique, and the service, mostly by the bartenders was great and friendly. Two of us had the duck breast in mole sauce, which was the best mole I’ve had! Highly recommend!

    This place was exceptionally delicious. Their queso was great, the duck mole was good (although I wish the skin was more crispy). The lamb was also fantastic. Their tortillas they give with the mole/queso are fantastic.Atmosphere was great and the drinks were all delicious I really liked the respado.The only place I think competitive with this place is Fonda and that's imo some high praise so don't read it as an insult

    Such an amazing place to eat. I can’t recommend this place enough. The fish tacos were great and the mixed drinks have a unique flavor that is satisfying and refreshing at the same time. I typically don’t like mezcal but I ordered the sangria mezcal cocktail and was impressed. I tried the mole and it was the best I’ve had.
