The breakfast tacos are the best!! Be sure to put some of their orange-ish color sauce on them! Also, the queso fundido is awesome too (for lunch ).
I live about 20 miles from Mexico on the Texas border and I know Mexican food ...this is great Mexican food ! Very close to home. The staff is also really friendly . veggie option : quesadillas & salsa !
Everything you want from a casual dining experience: good prices and tasty food. The tacos are fantastic across the board, but definitely try the al pastor . Read more
If you want to feel like going to Mexico without crossing the border, you should come to this place. The tacos and gringas are so fresh and tasty. Good stuff, guys!
The tacos al pastor are soooo good! If you come to Austin you should definitely check this place out. Ask for Daniel, the best manager ever.
The tamarindo margarita is one of the best margs we've ever had!! And only $6!
The tacos could have been a little better flavor wise. Margarita was tasty and the chips and salsa were also on point.
I'm from south Texas and about 15 miles away from Mexico . I know what Mexican food like so this place is great! Real homemade food !!
Very good Mexican food for a great price. Most of the workers speak only Spanish which makes it that much more authentic .
The Gringa taco with fajita is excellent. If you think they're small for your appetite, order two. It won't break the bank .
Carnitas by the pound fed 4 people and was delicious. Great guacamole and salsa bar
Best margaritas in town . The way to do it is half tamarindo and half pineapple ! And $4.25, in a schooner , during HH!
The best place to get al pastor tacos — hands down!!! ????????
Their Barbacoa with corn tortillas is the closest thing to Mexico we’ve found in Austin
Come during the day. If you know order through the kiosks. If you don't order in person. Late night crowd can be rough with the horse being understaffed.
Get the six taquito special! And horchata FTW!! Love having this place in my 'hood!
I must say.... this joint slams!!! I love the charro beans ! Ask for any freakin' taco . It'll b yummy
I had the chicken quesadilla . It was tasty!
Jason Donoho, chef of Alamo Drafthouse, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Al pastor "trompo " tacos . Read more
first time here and will be coming back soon. great place. queso flameado and carne guisada plate is excellent
The tacos are authentic and delicious.
They take too long... its worth the wait though, great barbacoa tacos !
Make sure to get some chips and salsa ; the chips are made fresh!
Probably the best tacos I've ever had. Try to go at 3am and see what happens.
The food is great here, but it is definitely not a quick meal .
The margaritas ....amazing
If you're not doing this place #latenight, you're not doing it right. :)
Some of my favourite horchata .
The chile relleno taco is bomb!
Order 2, maybe 3 tacos , squeeze lime , enjoy.
Closest to mexican tacos I've had in Austin

Tacos de trompo !!! Omg the best!
BEST PLACE for food after bar hopping downtown. Always hits the spot.

Don't do it. This place is one big health code violation.
Go to El Taquito and get either the Cantaloupe agua fresca or the Horchata !

Breakfast tacos and salsa bar are everything. I love the cucumbers and radishes on the salsa bar. Delish. - Elia Albarran
Hands down the best tacos in Austin. The fish taco and the pork with pineapple taco are amazing. Corn tortillas of course. - Patricia Bradby
Agua fresca counter alone makes this HEB worthwhile. Top that, Whole Foods - Nat
