More information on Curra's Grill

You're likely to find this plain, unassuming restaurant packed at any time of day, but it's worth the wait for the best interior Mexican food in South Austin (and, in the moderate price range, in the city). A couple of breakfast tacos and a cup of special Oaxacan dark roast coffee are a great way to jump-start your day. For either lunch or dinner, choices are abundant. The Mexican tamales (not the kind usually served in Texas) come in several flavors and are quite good, with moist spongy masa. You can build your own enchiladas from a selection of sauces and fillings -- I like the mole and the chile pasilla. The Yucatecan cochinita pibil (pork baked in a marinade of achiote, sour orange, and herbs and spices) is tender and complex. The tortillas are handmade. For dessert, the flan can't be beat.Curra's has a North Austin location, 6801 Burnet Rd. (tel. 512/451-2560), and a far north location, at 6301 West Parmer Lane (tel. 512/457-2500). Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
