Jaime´s Spanish Village
Whether it's the delicious enchiladas, fantastic fajitas or chips with dip compuesto, Jaime's has been offering the best Mexican food in Austin for over 70 years. Austin's best Mexican food restaurant is located in the heart of downtown, at the corner of 8th & Red River. Jaime's is a great place to eat both traditional Mexican dishes or your favorite Tex-Mex specialties before heading out for a night on 6th street or to catch a great concert. Jaime's is the favorite Mexican restaurant for Longhorn fans attending sporting events at the University of Texas. Jaime's is truly the place to have lunch or dinner before and after all Longhorn events. Manager Miguel explains "This place goes completely crazy before and after Longhorn games, people love the fact that they can buy a pitcher of frozen margaritas along with their favorite Mexican food. After a Longhorn victory, we will play the Texas fight song full blast and everyone will be singing along. Some of the crazier fans will drink Jaime's world famous Flamin' Dr. Peppers every time they hear the fight song." 
Jaime's enchiladas along a frozen margarita "Jaime-Rita" is a crowd favorite, others go for the coldest beer in Austin and any of Chef Gonzalo's specialty Tex-Mex dinners.Many out of town visitors crowd Jaime's during events such as SXSW, the UIL basketball tournament and Pecan Street Festival in search for the best hot sauce in Austin. Jaime's salsa picante both in red and green versions has gotten so popular, it is now being sold at Central Market, Whole Foods and other supermarkets.Jaime's cheese dip or "Chile con Queso" is also being sold and shipped all over the world. "People love our Queso, we had visitors from Japan buy a case of Queso and a case of Salsa to take back to Tokyo" mentions Jaime's wife Theresa best know as "Mama Goose".
Due to it's fame as Austin's best Mexican food restaurant and it's proximity to the State Capitol, many politicians can be seen at Jaime's enjoying the traditional Chicken Mole, delicious quesadillas or the always sizzling fajita dinner. Jaime himself said it best "No matter if Republicans or Democrats can't agree at the State Capital, they all agree that Jaime's has the best Mexican food in town!"
