Pretty standard breakfast tacos. Sometimes they are great and sometimes they are average but they’re my go-to for breakfast tacos in Austin. Great service. Both locations are great for eating outside. For me, it’s an authentic Austin experience and always reminds me of when I first moved to Austin. Be kind and tip them well, they’re good people!

If you haven’t gone food shopping and want to eat something that has any actual nutritional value after working out at the golds down the street this is your spot.

My experience the both times I have ordered their food has not been pleasant. For one I live 10 min down the road and it takes almost an hour to get to me. The food is cold by the point. I order 2 bacon, egg, and avocado tacos on corn. Each time they have barley given me slivers of bacon. Only 1/4 of a bacon slice and it’s soggy, squishy and gross. On top of that they give you the smallest slice of avocado and charge you $4 a taco. So basically it’s an egg and corn taco. The 2nd time around I decided to give them another try and add instructions that I wanted a full piece of crispy bacon (as it should be) and salsa and again they ignored the instructions and gave me 2 very sad, disappointing tacos, and AGAIN no salsa. I had to cook my own bacon and add my own avocado. The point this morning was to not have to cook, but obviously that didn’t happen. I will not be going to this place or ordering here again.

This is my local taco place. It’s clean. The food is nutritious, delicious and has a reasonable price point. The staff is very friendly. Tacos of course are good; soup is good; fruit cup is good. I would give this place seven stars except they took flan off the menu.

Flavorful tacos with lots of menu options. I will forgo the queso on my next trip because is was more “grainy” than smooth, but the rest of the food and service was great. The tacos took a few minutes to be served, but they are made to order and fresh. The vibe of the restaurant is intimate and relaxing.

A good friend here for my birthday to enjoy the Megas, which was wonderful and huge I almost couldn’t but my friend ate all of hers. Inside is small enough for us to have a good conversation and enjoy a peaceful meal. I even saw some other friends there, so it is a popular place. I had unsweet tea with my meal and I really enjoyed the tea, but they do not have diet Dr. Pepper (oh, my) which is my favorite drink with meals. The menu takes a long time to decipher what you would like to eat but you can come to Google Maps and find a picture of the menu and decide ahead of time, so you can get in and out quicker. Or you can eat inside for a leisurely lunch or brunch as my friend and I did for my birthday (I turned 65).

i got the barbacoa tacos with horchata. The tacos were mid (super greasy and unseasoned) my friend got the east side breakfast taco and hated it. The potatoes weren’t cooked all the way and had no flavor in general. The horchata was pretty good. Service was good as well, but they closed 30 minutes early. The reason this is a problem is because we had a group of 18 people stuck outside with no way to wash our hands etc. We also had nowhere to throw our trash and I had to wait at the door to get them to place a trash can outside which they removed. We ended up having to walk across the street to the gas station to throw the rest of our trash
