Austinites have a passionate love affair with Tex Mex. Gooey, rich cheese and spicy peppers liven up our taste buds, and it’s safe to say we can never get enough of it. From local taco trailers to massive dining halls, Mexican food is everywhere you look. You might be surprised to learn where Austin’s best enchiladas are hiding. No, you won’t find these delicious creations amongst the sprawling downtown cityscape. The most amazing enchiladas in Austin are hiding inside Dart Bowl, an iconic bowling alley in North Austin.
Dart Bowl has been an Austin treasure since 1958.
Dart Bowl/Facebook Beginning its days in a shopping center near Burnet and Anderson Rd, Dart Bowl has stood the test of time. The bowling alley moved to its current address at 5700 Grover Ave. in 1996, and it’s only gotten better from there.
With over 30 lanes, Dart Bowl hosts everything from birthday parties to bowling leagues.

The real gem, however, sits inside this unassuming little cafe.
DeLea B./Yelp The Dart Bowl Cafe has been serving hungry bowlers since 1970. You’ll find the typical bowling alley fare including hamburgers and beer, but that’s only the beginning.
That’s right! You can dig into the best enchiladas in Austin right here in this bowling alley.
Nick C./Yelp Coated in melted cheese and oozing with rich flavor, these enchiladas will make your taste buds dance for joy.
Add eggs on top for an extra twist!
Thomas B./Yelp Of course, enchiladas aren’t all Dart Bowl Cafe has to offer. Their chicken fried steak is also to die for.
Each meal comes with homemade bread smothered in butter.
Shannon B./Yelp Why not fill up on more rich, heavy goodness? The flavors from this amazing meal are well worth the calories. And the best part? Three enchiladas will only set you back $5.95.
Swing by for breakfast and get your fill!
Andy B./Yelp Dart Bowl opens at 9:00 am every day, just in time for some migas and huevos rancheros.
This a true hidden gem.
