My first time here but I will definitely be back. I have lived in this area for a few years and…read morekeep passing by saying "one day I'll try their tacos". Finally, today was the day and I sure wish I would have tried this place sooner. Since moving to Texas from Southern Cal, I haven't found many places that have what I would call authentic tacos. I keep trying hoping to find that place and I just might have. They are located in a small food truck court off 71. Easy parking and they have plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your tacos fresh. I only ordered "street tacos" with Adobada; I didn't have to wait long and I did take them to-go since I don't live very far. When I got home, they were still fresh and warm. They were prepared in fresh corn tortillas (they do also offer flour) and there is quite a bit of meat. They came with lime wedges and some red & green sauce. Given my experience with other taco locations, I wasn't expecting much. But my first bite... I was surprised at how delicious they are. Most places I have been to, the meat tastes as though it has been warming in a metal bin for awhile and lacks freshness. But this meat was very fresh and delicious. Squeeze a little lime and add some of the green sauce and these tacos are epic! I ordered three and thought for sure I would end up throwing one or two of them out. But after eating two of them, I saved the third for my daughter but was tempted to eat it too. If the tacos are this good... I am sure the rest of the food must be great. I have had tacos from a few places in downtown Austin that are good, but it's a far drive to get them regularly. It's nice to know the best tacos I have tried since coming to Texas is quite close to me. And between the tacos I have had in Austin and Ortega's, I would choose Ortega's any day. Although they provided red sauce, if you like really spicy... use the green sauce. Like finding good tacos, it has been difficult to find good spicy taco sauce but their green sauce is going to make you sweat a little. Although I waited years to try, I'm glad I finally tried Ortega's and I will be back soon.

Unlike many places where tacos skimp on filling, these were generously stuffed--I only needed two instead of my usual three. Plus, they weren't greasy at all, which was a big win. Their homemade spicy and mild sauces were a highlight; both were incredibly tasty. If you like spice, definitely go for the spicy sauce! You'll also notice their love for dogs when you visit because there's a lot of dog decorations. This is a food truck, so limited seating. Service was great. Food was delicious!

I moved here from Southern CA a few years ago and can't say enough great things about TX... but we…read morearen't huge fans of "TEX MEX". I have tried dozens of places in Austin for tacos and just can't seem to find anything close to the tacos I enjoyed when I lived in San Diego. Living in San Diego, I spent a lot of time in Mexico and I would definitely say they make tacos a particular way. And it was easy to find places in Southern CA that served what I refer to as "authentic" Mexican tacos. When I came to TX, I had heard all about TEX MEX and the "tacos" and was really surprised at the difference between the tacos here and the ones from Mexico/SoCal. But, I'm resilient as a "foodie". I will keep trying until I find that one place and yesterday... I finally found what I would say are the MOST authentic Mexican tacos. I happened to find out about this place on a Facebook post and drove out. It's not a place I would have driven by and even if I did, I might not have stopped. But again, I am determined to find someone who can make tacos like I'm accustomed to eating. It's a little trailer located right on the road and they have a big "TACO" sign on the road so you shouldn't miss it. If not the sign, you will probably see a crowd of people enjoying tacos or waiting for their order. I started off ordering what I would consider the 'basics' - a Carne Asada taco and an al Pastor taco. For me, if these are good, the rest of the food is likely to also be good. For starters, they prepare it when you order it! This is a great sign. So many taco places I have been to, they have the meat all ready and just scoop it into a taco shell. Taco meat should be made to order and not premade so already, you know this is a quality taco shop. You can get corn or flour tortillas but I strongly recommend the corn for a taco. They serve them the traditional way with two tortillas and the tacos come with a generous serving of meat. And talk about hot and fresh! I've also found here in Austin, it's been difficult to find legitimate salsa. I had the green sauce and without question, the BEST salsa I have had since moving to Texas. They really should be selling their salsa! My first round of tacos was so amazing... I ordered more! I ordered more of the carne asada and al pastor to take home to the family and even ordered some bean & cheese burritos. Oddly enough, a bean & cheese burrito is such a staple of just about any Mexican restaurant in SoCal but try and get one here in Texas and it's almost impossible. It was refreshing to find a place that makes a bean & cheese burrito and make them authentically; in a large flour tortilla. If your only experience with Mexican food is "Tex Mex", do yourself a favor and make the trip out and experience some authentic tacos. If you have moved here from SoCal and are missing tacos from home... you'll want to make the drive out here for these tacos! And if you like spicy, you must try the green salsa. By the way, to save time, they do take phone orders so you can always just place your order on your way over and they will have them ready when you arrive. They are very nice people and the food is amazing!

Flores Lakeway 12/10/25…read more 4 people dining Wednesday night approximately 6:30-7:30 pm. No problem with drinks and ordering. We ordered queso for an appetizer, then 4 dishes (4 people). 3 of the dishes arrived at a reasonable time, but the 4th was not delivered. After 5 minutes we inquired about the 4th dinner. Again, after 5 more minutes we asked again. Another 5 minutes we found a "manager", who went back to the kitchen to inquire about the food. A full 10 minutes after that, the 4th plate arrived. 2 of us had already finished our plates. Excuses were: waitress was training, didn't understand the order. Kitchen didn't receive the order. Only one of us received a drink refill (after asking), the other 3 of us never received a drink refill. "Manager" was slow to come to our table to address any issue. We waited another 15 minutes then asked for the check. This is the first time in about 6 months that we have returned to this location. Usually the food is about a 7 out of 10, tonight the food was about a 6 out of 10. And the last dish (carne guisada) was awful. My son took a few bites and said it was not edible. I tried it and agreed. They took it off the bill. Probably won't return for a while (if we run out of other local options). In general we dine out 2-3 times per week (lunch or dinner).

Food - 4 Stars Service - 4 Stars…read moreAtmosphere - 3 Stars The food establishments in this area are mostly food trucks and convenience store steam tables, with a smattering of brick and mortar restaurants thrown in, and one fast food establishment. I say this so you can better understand my rating. This happens to be a convenience store steam table, hence my score on the atmosphere. It was a Sunday morning and I didn't feel like cooking breakfast, so I started thinking about where I wanted to go pick something up. On a Sunday morning, even the food truck selections are more limited than normal, and I didn't want to have to get dressed to go to a brick and mortar restaurant. I had heard good things about the food at this particular place, so I decided to give it a try since it was one of the few places open. As soon as I walked up to the order counter I was excited to see that they had Menudo on the menu (Saturday and Sunday, only). Of course, I had to try a bowl of that , and it was delicious (yes, I know.....it is an acquired taste)! I also tried one of their breakfast burritos and was not disappointed. It was a delicious, large, soft flower tortilla, overstuffed with goodies (In my case, sausage, egg, cheese, potatoes, and refried beans). I would definitely order it again, once I make it through some of the other delicious sounding choices they had on their menu If you are ever out this way, and are looking for a fast, in and out, sort of place to grab breakfast or lunch on the run, I would definitely give this place a try.
