    Al Pastor
    Stephanie K.

    Once upon a time there was a delightful Al Pastor and this one is very nice (slightly dry) but topped with fresh onion and cilantro and the very best spicy green sauce I've had in a good while. No reservations required and 3 locations around town - it's a beautiful spot to bring the kiddos and doggos to hang awhile. Next time I'm checking out the Tortabirria or Fish Tacos - both look amazing and are crowd favorites!

    Campechano on Flour
    Michelle D.

    Yes... you should try this place out lol. We happened upon this place when we were on our way to get fireworks for the 4th. Everything about our meals was great. The freshness. The flavor. The crunch of my Campechano. The richness of the Birria. All. On. Point. It was kind of unassuming on the side of the main road. Don't blink or you'll miss it.

    If you are looking for great tacos, this is the place to go. I ordered Bistec, Suadero and Campechano tacos and let me tell you!!! they were delicious, the amount was awesome and the tortillas are hand made. Definitely worth stopping at CJ's for some great street style tacos.

    Ramen
    Vanascious N.

    Love the ramen except I wish they used egg noodles. Otherwise the consommé is delish and the salsa has a great kick

    Bacon egg and cheese taco

    It's my second time coming here for breakfast tacos and my second time tasting a metallic taco. When you wrap flour tortillas in foil it makes them taste like the tin foil, I would strongly suggest using a to go box instead or wrapping them in parchment paper first, then the foil. Also it's 75% egg and 25% bacon,..

    Hands down the best food truck I've had. The pastor tacos are next level (not fatty like some places), the people are so kind, and the dog-friendly patio makes it even better. Always look forward to coming here.

    Chicken, Brisket, Bistec Tacos
    Simone O.

    i highly recommend the bistec tacos, i tried one bistec, one brisket, and one chicken and then i ended up ordering 2 more bistec to go for dinner. not only are these tacos cheap but they're so delicious and fast and PACKED full of meat. there's maybe 6 outdoor tables and no water so get your own drink or buy it. but they're brought our tacos straight to us and we're going to bring it to our car (and let us sit in the AC while they were being made) when there weren't any open tables, but a spot opened up so we were chillin at their tables. honestly it was fantastic and i highly recommend. each taco only about $4 too :3

    Shrimp Taco and Veggie Taco
    Bill C.

    A year later and these guys are still killing it. The tacos are still some of the best in Austin and I still stand by the veggie taco being one of the best tacos I have ever had. Not throwing shade on their other tacos because they are all very good. But that veggie taco, come on!

    Fish taco
    Jennifer A.

    The fish taco was so good. I loved it. So much flavor and just enough spice. Highly recommended. Corn tortilla was amazing.

    Solid patio space
    Tanner K.

    Best breakfast tacos I have ever had (and am confident I will ever have). Do yourself a lifetime favor and stop here to experience the taste. Exactly the vibes what you want from an Austin food truck and the staff was super cool. I crave these on a weekly basis. If I lived in Austin, I would be here once a week, no doubt.

    Birra taco
    Michael H.

    Had two breakfast tacos, chorizo and egg and also bacon and egg, both on flour. Good tortillas. Good quality. $7.50 for two. Second time here and think this is going to be one of my regular spots. Breakfast tacos last time. This time tried a seafood cheviche tostadita and a birra taco on flour. Ceviche was excellent. Nice citrus tang. But too much salsa on it though. I'd ask for less. Birra taco was excellent. Nice charred beef. Flour tortillas are a good thickness. Warmed. Winner. Five star joint.

    I had a chicken, el pastor (my favorite), and a Champechano tacos (middle).

    I was looking for a good taco truck close to my workplace and this place didn't disappoint. I think the 5 stars are well deserved. The food was plentiful and seasoned well. The service as excellent and very personable. Can't wait to return. It's a food truck but they provided a covered seating area that was nicely maintained and added to the overall ambiance for me. Very good.

    I've been here 3 times now and the quality and consistency with the food is great and they're definitely not stingy. The downfall of most places is to change this and I hope this doesn't happen. It's a small truck off burleson but definitely has room to grow and outside tables for eating there. I did want a 4 1/2 star because their one weak spot is the phone. Twice did they either not answer and had to call back and since there's no other option such as ordering online I feel this does fall on them.

    Ummmm say what now?!  My lunch order just changed!

    Cauntos Tacos was recommended to me by my BF, and we decided to go all in with the "1 of Each Kind"…read moremenu option. Boy, am I glad we did this--it was the perfect way to try a little bit of everything and compare favorites side by side. Sauderos - One of my top choices. Great texture and flavor with a nice richness to it. That said, carnitas and longaniza still edged it out for me. Cachete - Almost felt like a milder cousin to the carnitas. I personally preferred the milkier flavor profile of the carnitas, but this was still delicious and incredibly satisfying. Buche - Softer and mushier than I would typically like in a meat filling, but the flavor itself was undeniably good. Texture held it back a bit for me. Carnitas - A classic milkiness that's genuinely hard to beat. Rich, comforting, and probably one of my favorite carnitas I've had so far. Definitely a standout. Longaniza - I've never really been a chorizo person... until now. This completely changed my mind. Deep red color, intensely meaty flavor, rich without being overwhelming--easily one of my favorites of the bunch. Champiñones - More flavorful and spicier than I expected. The mushrooms had a pleasantly chewy texture instead of turning mushy, which I appreciated a lot. Great mushroom flavor overall. Revuelta - Not actually on the menu, but something we personally requested. Delicious combination of meats, though tasting everything back-to-back made this one come across a bit saltier. Still, the pairing worked really well and made for a satisfying bite. The sauces deserve a mention too. The green sauce packed noticeably more heat and leaned herbaceous, while the red sauce had a beautiful smokiness that completely won both my best friend and me over. Service was honestly one of the fastest and most efficient I've seen from a food truck. Everything moved quickly and smoothly despite the steady flow of people. My only real downside had nothing to do with the food itself--I hated standing outside at 8 PM dealing with bugs while eating, but that's more the nature of the setup than the fault of the truck. Overall, I was genuinely impressed by the meat quality and how distinct each taco felt from the next. Carnitas and longaniza were the clear winners for me, but there honestly wasn't a bad taco in the lineup.

    5 Stars - So Good, Worth the Hype…read more We finally tried Cuantos Tacos and wow... it absolutely lived up to the hype. Food: The tacos were incredible--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can taste the quality right away. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and the tortillas tasted fresh and authentic. We tried a few different tacos and honestly didn't have a single miss. Simple menu, but done really, really well. Service: Service was friendly and efficient. Even with a line, things moved quickly and the staff were welcoming and patient. You can tell they know what they're doing and take pride in the food. Ambiance: It has that fun Austin food-truck vibe--casual, lively, and a little busy, but in a good way. It feels like one of those places locals love and keep coming back to. Overall: Easy five stars. Amazing tacos, great service, and a cool atmosphere. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to again and again.

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.
