    Tacos on tacos
    Christina H.

    Sometimes, you don't want a fancy breakfast taco. These days, there's too many of them anyway. What never goes out of style? A classic, potato and egg or chorizo and egg breakfast taco with a handful of jalapeño crema sauce on the side. Warning: the tacos can be a bit greasy

    Rob B.

    Truly unique and the menu is as interesting as it was delicious. The migas and the chiccarone offering caught my attention. It might be good idea to order ahead. We ordered on the spot on a not busy time and it took a good 15 minutes to get the order. The convenience store is well convenient to get the beverage of your choice .

    Breakfast burrito was delicious! I'm salivating just remembering how much I liked it! I got it with chorizo, potatoes, cheese, refried beans and salsa verde. Patio seating was nice. Service was as expected.

    Migas

    Yep. Pretty good breakfast tacos. But for the cold, hard cash? There's better (or just as good for half the price). Migas. Tasty. Chilaquiles. Tasty. Why don't they have a chilaquiles plate? If it's good enough to wrap in a tortilla, throw it on a plate with an over easy egg! Chorizo, egg, and cheese. Greasy. Not sure if it was the chorizo or the cheese, but it more than dripped grease. All of the tacos were a bit meager. Two of us split 3 and left not quite satisfied. Good. Not in the top 10.

    Staff was nice, Google Maps takes me a little offs ways but its at the corner of the gas station. Chilaquiles Taco: soft corn chips, egg, a la mex, queso fresco was a fun taco, you can add meat to if if you want. I recommend this one! I also got a bacon and a chorizo egg and cheese taco and the bacon was crispy, chorizo was not too greasy. Its all well balanced. Not a must come back for me since I personally want something a little greasyer but with its name, Con Madre, its a great place! All the tacos were fresh and came out hot! Salsa was not spicy enough for me but that can be a plus if you want clean tacos and mild salsa, a jump from fuzzys.

    Homemade Picadillo Nachos

    If you're looking for a food truck that sells a wide variety of Mexican food at a great price, a great selection of agua frescas, and shaded patio seating then Con Madre Kitchen is a spot you should consider! When I came I tried a few different items such as: - Pastor Tacos (3.5/5), Barbacoa Tacos (4/5), and Bistek Tacos (3.5/5). The barbacoa was my favorite because it was the most tender, rich, and flavorful of the three. What's also nice overall about these tacos is that they cost $2.89 each when you get them on corn. - Madre's Sautéed Shrimp Taco (4/5) & Madre's Chori-Queso Taco (4.25/5): in addition to traditional street style tacos, they have these two unique ones with one featuring grilled shrimp and the other featuring chorizo and melted cheese. These come on flour tortilla and cost $4.75 each. - Cheeseburger: wouldn't normally get a burger from a Mexican restaurant, but this was good as it had a bigger emphasis on the grilled onion. ($5.50) - 3.5/5 - Homemade Picadillo Nachos: they load the nachos up with beef, cheese, avocado, and jalapeños and this is not a bad appetizer to get if you're craving some nachos. ($13) - 3.25/5 - Madre's Frito Pie: their take on frito pie, but using Hispanic ingredients. ($8) - 3.25/5 - Agua Frescas: they have a great selection where you can get Horchata (sweet cinnamon & rice milk), Jamaica (sweet hibiscus punch), tamarindo (sweet & tangy tamarind juice) -, and limonada. You honestly can't go wrong with any of these! They all taste great. ($3.50/ea) - 4.25/5 With lots of food to choose from my suggestions would definitely be getting a barbacoa taco, a sautéed shrimp taco, and a chori-queso taco with any of the drinks! All in all, I had a good time here and would rate my experience a 3.75/5.

    Coming from CA I had high expectations especially since I know it's Hispanic owned. I took one bite and threw it away it was so greasy and no flavor! Thought the chorizo would give it some Flavor but it didn't!

    What a great find!!..Found this joint in route to The Hill of Life for a hike and it was just what we needed...Super friendly service and ample seating...Large menu with plenty to choose from...we both picked Chorizo, egg and Cheese and Bacon, egg and cheese..2 of each..at first we thought they were a bit pricey...but these are some fat tacos...piping hot...perfectly charred tortillas and some kickin good sauce...wife couldn't finish hers..so I sacrificed my beach bod and scarfed the last couple bite down...Lunch menu looks killer!!...Awesome visit!!

    Now THIS is breakfast tacos. During our girls trip we were on a quest to find the best tacos and confirm that Austin was truly known for breakfast tacos. Con Madre Kitchen affirmed it to us. Holy moly (or should I say holy mole?) - it's been maybe two months since we've been there and we still talk about these tacos. Had we known about it sooner, we probably would've woken up and come here every day for breakfast lunch and dinner. First off, cheers to customization! I can't have physical onions, scallions, or cilantro (sad), but I was able to pick items that would best fit my tacos given this condition. Even for the chicharrones specialty taco, I easily avoided the items I'm allergic too and heavy loaded on that red madre sauce. It was all so good I went back up to the truck to order two more tacos on top of the two I already ordered. They are ADDICTING but in the most wonderful way. Particularly loved my personal make your own of potato, egg, and ham. The ham was charred JUST right and made me want more. Another combo was beans, eggs, and chorizo. My mouth is watering all over again wow And if the tacos weren't enough, the drinks were on point too. Horchata and coffee? My friends called it absolutely perfect. For me I like fruity / juice like drinks so I had to go with the Jamaica which had the perfect taste to wash down these tacos. Go here. If you don't trust me after how much I've raced in this review and how much I'm now considering booking a flight back to Austin for these tacos, then I rest my case!

    Just returned post-Covid and tried the migas tacos on corn this time. It tasted fresh, especially the tortilla, but I didn't think it was worth the $$.

    Breakfast Taco on left.  Breakfast Burrito on right. Sad face on me.

Once you're inside, though, the whole operation runs with impressive efficiency. You order at the register, take your receipt, and hand it off to one of the taco guys behind the counter. As the sign says, "No Ticket, No Taco!" so don't lose it. Seating is limited and the line can get long, but they move fast. And don't come expecting cheese or sour cream -- the only add‑ons here are cilantro, onions, salsa, and guacamole. It's a stripped‑down menu, and they stick to it. The tacos are solid. The beef isn't anything remarkable, but the chicken is tender, moist, and genuinely flavorful. The quesadilla is the sleeper hit; the baked cheese gives it a deep, savory punch that outshines the tacos. And if you're hungry or just want the best value, the burritos are enormous -- stuffed right up to the tortilla's structural limit. A hidden little alley spot that delivers quick service, simple options, and reliably good food once you manage to find the door.

These flavors make it all the way into every bite, carried by a guacamole sauce that'll coat your tongue. Everyone I saw there left their plates empty. If you go - and you'll feel more alive if you do - make sure to accept the works. The onions and cilantro greatly balance each bite, while the salsa and guacamole are necessary and fundamental to tying the flavors together.. Despite their popularity, service remains lightning fast. The reluctantly bilingual cooks practically seize your order ticket to guide you through the process. This is my second taco journey to Austin and I haven't found better.

For our entrées, we had Brian's Alambre Plate, the Chicken Mole, and the Line Cook's Snack Plate. Brian's Alambre Plate combines sirloin, pork pastor, house-made chorizo, and bacon with peppers, onions, and melted Jack cheese. It was good and certainly offers plenty of variety and flavor. For my personal taste, though, if I am primarily craving meat, I prefer Eldorado's Carne Guisada. There is nothing wrong with the Alambre, I just think the Carne Guisada is the stronger choice for me. The Chicken Mole is my wife's favorite, and unfortunately it is only offered as a special late on Thursdays. The house-made mole has a rich, distinctive flavor that works very well with the chicken, and it is easy to understand why she looks forward to it. The Line Cook's Snack Plate was also a great combination with two flautas, a choice of Chicken Caldo or Texas Red, Eldorado rice, and guacamole salad. It is a nice option when you want a little bit of several things rather than one large entrée. Overall, another very enjoyable meal at Eldorado Cafe. Good food, plenty of variety, and enough different flavors on the menu that everyone can find a favorite. We certainly have ours!

Both incredible and not too hot. I had the sirloin tampiqueño. I have never tasted steak so flavorful in my lifetime. Addictive and so tender and beautifully seasoned I couldn't even speak except for the mmmmm's... don't let the thin slice fool you. It was incredible!!! We also got the Friday night special Saudero taco on the HOMEMADE buttery delicious flour tortilla. Again the steak pieces in there were fantastic. The regular picadillo crispy taco was probably the best I've ever had. Homemade deep fried thick shells. Margaritas were expensive and small, but done RIGHT. Sam made them by hand not from a mix. It's a good balance because the food is FAIRLY PRICED!!! I am completely spoiled now and probably will just come here from now on. Next it's time to taste those great looking enchiladas!!!

The spot we were in just felt like limbo between guests enjoying the pool and people inside enjoying A/C and good music. May give it another shot down the road.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
