One of the top authentic Hispanic restaurants I've tried in Austin and now soo happy it's in Hutto…read more I mean this is the real deal authentic Mexican food. The mole is deep and earthy, the meats from chicken to beef are all chopped and fresh, the salsa are tame but full of flavor. The enchiladas are hand made and you can taste all the hand made foods. The rice is cooked well, I like how the grains are broken grain so broken rice. It has a fluffier texture. Nice tomato flavor to the rice. The beans are good. Silky and fresh. I am very impressed and the flour tortillas are hand made. The prices are also reasonable as well. Great value.

My buddy and coworker recommended we go to Pollos Asados El Norteño off South FM 1660 in Hutto. Good idea. Located in a strip mall connected to a Valero gas station, there were a few people inside. We placed our order, with me ordering their Caldo de Pollo. It included two chicken drumsticks, potatoes, cobbled corn, carrots, celery, and squash. It was served with a lime slice and diced cilantro, onions, and green peppers. In addition, you get a ton of corn tortillas on the side and a nice side of rice. For its price tag, it is a steal. It was fantastic and perfectly hit the spot when it was 30 degrees outside. There is plenty of seating, and they move pretty efficiently. I heard their main tacos as well as their breakfast were very good, so once I can eat normal food, I will definitely come back and give it another go. For now, that soup was exactly what I needed.

Food isn't waiting around here....it was a small wait but everything was extraordinarily fresh. They have a cold case full of soft drinks and juices. There was a small container of orange/red sauce and what looks like a avocado Ish sauce. I labeled them both hot and hotter. (LOL-I guess I'm a gringo after all ) I dropped in, in between meal times, but there was definitely a steady amount of customers coming and going as they must do quite a brisk business of takeout also. I noted that you can order online so that's always a big positive for me. People were eating and it's not a huge place so I wasn't comfortable videoing the seating ....needless to say there's about 10 /four tops. I was quite comfortable. You step up to the counter to order. I requested no cilantro and I did not get any. It seems to be good communication between the front desk and the kitchen. I suspect either the sous chef or the cook delivered my plate piping hot to my table! I'm not sure how long this location has been open here, but I'm embarrassed to say that I have driven by many many times on the way to my sons home and not noticed it. I'm so glad I dropped in today and found it. I definitely recommend it and I will be back every time I head out to my sons

Living in Hutto for over six months now, I had realized that I had yet to truly find a taco joint…read morelike I had found in Lubbock or Tyler, some of my previous home bases in Texas. In my research, the food truck Taqueria Jaguar's seemed like a possible contender. I want to first address my own limitations in this review. I am a white man. I am an outsider being welcomed in by eating this food. I am not a subject expert. I am usually knowledgeable on what I do and don't like, however, and can destroy any plate in any cuisine class. I had been craving some birria recently, so I ordered a set of their birria tacos and then an order of plantains to go with it. The service was pretty efficient, and it wasn't long before the food came out hot. The plantains were fantastic. There was so much that I couldn't finish them myself, but they tasted pretty amazing. I recently discovered how fantastic plantains were, and Taqueria Jaguar's fried plantains were top notch. I highly recommend them. When it came to the birria, however, I was left disappointed. I fear maybe it was the experimental nature of my order instead of going for some al pastor tacos, but I felt the meat was not great. It was cooked well, but it had no flavor. I could best compare it to when my grandma made me chili and told me it was amazing, when I had to put so much cheese on it to hide its lack of flavor. I don't know if it was from the goat meat versus your typical beef you'd get elsewhere on the menu, but I was shockingly disappointed in how weak they were. I didn't finish them, sadly. I hope to return and give Taqueria Jaguar's a second chance. If people praise this food truck like they do, I think I might just be wrong. Until then, it is not my trusted taco joint. On to the next one.

I walked in and was greeted by the friendly lady behind the counter who speaks both English and…read moreSpanish. I walked in at 9:00am and I ordered 2 bacon, egg, cheese and papas ranchero tacos. They were probably fairly portioned but I wouldn't say they were overstuffed or anything. I got them on flour tortillas, which were, in themselves just OK in my opinion. Overall though, the tacos were tasty and hit the spot. The jalapeños in the papas rancheros added a nice spice level for me but I love my food to make me sweat so if you don't prefer higher spice levels, just get the regular potatoes. As for ambiance, this is a taco counter with an open kitchen and a flat top grill inside a gas station (inside the Valero on Chris Kelley Blvd by the KFC) so I got what I feel most would've expected there. All in all it was a pretty good hot and quick breakfast and I'm sure I'll be dining with them again since I have an office pretty close by.

Bartender was kind however the hutto hippo marg was not good in my opinion - I asked for don julio silver however my marg was definitely served with an unknown brown tequilla. We went to the patio - waitress was attentive but not too knowledgeable about the menu. We just ordered some apps and more drinks which is why we came. The queso flameado is fired up table side- seemed it didn't get fired up enough as it was hard to pull apart however flavor was on point . Not a fan of the salsa which came out before the food- very tomato forward.

They have a very simple interior and menu, and we ordered a few items. The super Tostada, super taco, soft taco and their cinnamon sugar delights. Everything was LOADED. If you ever imagined eating food that looks directly out of a commercial, this place is it. The tacos were bursting at the seams. The Tostada required 2 hands. And it actually all tasted delicious. Like legit good. Our favorite was probably the soft taco flavor wise. It cost less than the super taco and had way more meat. A signature of this place seems to be topping with a ton of cheese, and none of us complained. Their hot sauce is really good too. We wrapped it up with their dessert item, and they were absolutely amazing. Freshly fried chips coated in cinnamon and sugar. Everything was fresh made and tasted like it. If youre looking for a Taco Bell equivalent but better in every way, this place is it. We were super surprised by how good it was.

Haven't been to restaurant so my review is solely for delivery to my house…read more Ordering- I like that their sides are not overpriced. Some places turn me off with $12 guacamole 'salad' that I know will be mostly lettuce. Also easy to tack on salsa options to your entree order. Food: tasty. First delivery was yummier than second time. I like that they put rice and beans in little containers inside main container. Beans don't get all dried out and thick. Rice is good. I also like that they send the chips warm and inside a plastic bag inside the paper one. What I don't eat can be sealed up and stays fresher longer. Both times I did crispy tacos as I am a creature of habit. Amazing? No. But exactly as I expected and what I was craving. I have made a study of the nearby places that offer crispy tacos (I know where to go for queso and damn good tacos that are soft). Many places charge $$$ for their sides of guac and when I get order - the rice is meh and the beans seem thick and dry. Like sitting under a heat lamp or on the stove for too long. Thus far, Taco Palenque sides seem fresher. Happy to have a new option nearby when craving my fix.

The fajita steak is not like restaurant fajitas. My kids will not touch it. I don't know what type…read moreof steak cut they use but it tastes and feels like fake meat. It's like slimy and super thin cut. Also the 2 times I've been here we have such an issue communicating. The menu says savory beans, I asked if the fajitas come with refried beans and they charged me for more beans before I corrected them. I also tried ordering a chicken breast taco as labeled on the menu and they had no idea what I was asking for. They got help, then said ohhh a pollo somthing taco. I'm literally reading the menu and it says verbatim what I asked for so I don't k ow why I'm the issue. This was my second trip here and I felt like an idiot I will not chance coming again it was so embarrassing 2 stars because it looks nice and clean otherwise this is a 1 for me with the customer service, communication and food. $80 for fajitas for 4 down the drain.

The flour tortillas looked good. But I have to say these were some great tacos. I appreciate places that don't over salt their food. These were perfect in my opinion.

I'll definitely be returning to try some lunch or dinner sometime soon. Thanks for a great first impression!
