    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.

    Best taco truck in Austin. Hands down. Super fresh ingredients, tasty and spicy sauces, and ridiculously quick service. They even bring your food to your car! There's also covered benches and tables if you decide to eat by the truck. Highly recommend their tacos - I have yet to try the rest of their menu items, but so far my faves are the bistec, campechano, suadero, al pastor and chicken tacos.

    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,..

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Perfect spot for late-night tacos!…read more The best part is that they have great vegetarian options, including both paneer and tofu tacos, and both are absolutely delicious. It's not always easy to find flavorful vegetarian tacos, so this place was a pleasant surprise. I loved it so much that I ended up visiting twice during my two-day trip to Austin. If you're in the city, this place is definitely worth checking out!

Some tables could use a cleaning in between guests, but it was fairly clean. You order your food at the counter and they call you when it is ready. I ordered the grilled steak taco, rotisserie chicken taco and special taco of the week (pork dumpling smash taco). We also ordered the elote and queso to share. The elote was good, but very creamy and a bit heavy. The queso was good but tbh I prefer Torchy's. The grilled steak taco was a bit underwhelming, I wanted it to have more flavor, it just tasted like beef and cheese. The chicken had good flavor and the special weekly taco was enjoyable and interesting, not like any taco I have had before. There is plenty of variety for people including those with dietary restrictions. My friends ordered two tacos each and I was full after 3 tacos so if you are not a big eater stick with two.

It was even fun to order with a menu representing Mexican Lotería cards. I tried the Grilled Fish Taco, Grilled Chicken Taco, and El Breakfast Taco. I think everything on the menu is excellent where I also got addicted to the Los Chips. I dined here so many times the staff remembered my name and almost my phone number which is used to send you a receipt and let you know your order is ready for pickup. The place has great character with indoor and outdoor seating and that this time became a World Cup viewing party. This place is also dog friendly inside too. Don't need to walk inside to order where can order from the street through a window like a food truck.

    I had so many food targets to hit in Austin and this one didn't make my priority list for lunch/…read moredinner but I ended up coming here for a breakfast taco and really liked it! It's a small chain in Austin that started from a food truck of two women from Veracruz. Interestingly enough, the cashew based queso here is the default so people with nut allergies- watch out! I was told it was not made in house by the restaurant and I ended up not trying it. I ended up getting the El Diferente taco, while the women at the counter recommended the Furioso. I chose it because I preferred pinto beans to black beans. I added thier salsas that were creamy and it was delish with poblanos in it. The tacos sounded really simple to me from the descriptions but I ended up really enjoying the one I had for breakfast! My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

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).
