Cauntos Tacos was recommended to me by my BF, and we decided to go all in with the "1 of Each Kind" menu 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. read more

I had the pleasure of trying Cuantos Tacos during Yelp's Tacos, Tequila, and Tunes event, and let me just say--I was absolutely blown away by how delicious their tacos were. The real star of the show was their nixtamal tortilla, which took the taco experience to the next level. These tortillas are wafer-thin yet incredibly sturdy, holding up perfectly to the weight and juiciness of the fillings. While they serve each taco with two tortillas, I'm confident that just one would be enough to support the full taco without tearing or becoming soggy. When I say thin, I mean super thin, but with a flavor and texture that add an impressive depth to the tacos. The Tacos: The cachete taco, featuring barbacoa (beef), was the standout for me. Its flavor was distinct and excellent, and the texture was phenomenal--juicy but slightly drier than the other tacos, which I felt worked in its favor. This one was my favorite by far. The suadero taco, made with confit brisket, was rich and flavorful but leaned toward a softer, mushier texture. Still, the brisket's richness was satisfying and paired beautifully with the tortilla. The carnitas taco had a similar profile to the suadero, with rich pork flavors but also a slightly mushy texture. While tasty, it didn't quite hit the same high notes as the cachete taco for me. What Stood Out: One of the most impressive aspects was how well these tacos held up during the event. Despite being premade and served from the event setup, they were still hot and fresh by the time I sat down to eat. That speaks volumes about their quality and preparation. The salsa deserves its own shout-out. Thick and vibrant, it had to be squeezed out, and its bold, spicy kick added an incredible layer to the already flavorful tacos. It elevated each bite and left me wanting more. Final Thoughts: Cuantos Tacos excels in crafting authentic, flavorful tacos that let their nixtamal tortillas take center stage. Each taco had its own unique strengths, but the cachete stood out as a must-try. Whether you're at an event or visiting their spot, the care and attention to detail they put into their food shine through. This was a memorable taco experience, and I can't wait to visit them again. 4.5 out of 5 stars. If you love tacos, this is a spot you shouldn't miss! read more

Cuantos Tacos has the best tacos I've had in Austin. Having lived in California for 6 years and had authentic street tacos in Mexico, it's hard to be satisfied by many of the bland "tex-mex" tacos served on big white flour tortillas in Texas. People love them, but they aren't real tacos to me. Real tacos to me are authentic Mexican slow cooked (and fast cooked) meats with tons of flavor. Balanced fat and protein. Nixtamal tortillas, homemade salsas, cilantro, lime wedges and white onion. There is a lot of love put into these tacos. Not only are they delicious, but they're priced right. There is another great taco place that opened recently on the East side, but it's too expensive for me to justify eating at regularly. I absolutely love this place, and i'm bummed they're about to move further west from their current Manor location, but i'm going for dinner tonight and it's all I can think about. read more

Cuantos Tacos is a gem in Austin! The food is absolutely delicious, with every bite packed full of authentic flavors. The area adds to the charm--it's a great spot to soak in the Austin vibe while enjoying a meal. However, I do wish there were a few more options for tacos. The menu is good, but a bit more variety could take the experience to the next level. The biggest issue, though, is the seating and the presence of dogs. While I understand Austin is super dog-friendly, I feel that for health code purposes, dogs shouldn't be allowed in the dining area. I've had dogs jump on the benches next to me while I was eating, which was less than ideal. A little more enforcement here could make a big difference. Overall, I'd still highly recommend Cuantos Tacos for the amazing food and atmosphere--it's definitely worth a visit! read more

Okay, so I've only gone for the Matamoros tacos, as I'm from Brownsville and got really excited to hear they have a Matamoros taco night. They were okay, the meat was kind of dry and the tortillas needed to also be juicier. The beans were not anything like the frijoles a la charra that I'm used to from south Texas; I like my frijoles with some good broth and not nearly as much pepper. I have not been here for other tacos, so I can't speak to that, but as far as Matamoros tacos go, I should have just made the drive to south Austin for Oyé Taco- those are legit. read more

Quanto's Tacos is a gem for authentic, flavorful tacos! I had the carnitas, buche, and costra carnitas tacos, and each one was bite-sized perfection - packed with rich flavors and a wonderful meat texture that's hard to beat. I recommend getting at least 5 tacos to fully enjoy the variety, though if you're a light eater, 4 should be just right. The service was quick, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The area has a relaxed, simple vibe, making it an ideal spot to grab a quick, delicious bite with friends. Highly recommend for any taco lover! read more

These are legit!! Real confit Suadero tacos cooked in a chorizera with tons of flavor and incredibly juicy. This place is not your average taco truck in town, it stands out from 99% of them! Real love and flavor goes into these and the team behind it are passionate and really care about quality. Tortillas are made with real nixtamalized corn and the salsas are muy rico. Definitely don't sleep on the beans - Jose gave me a sample of those and they are the truth. I'm thinking about going back again an hour later!! read more

I recently visited Cuantos Tacos, and I must say it was a decent experience! I paid $24.25 for 8 delightful tacos and an order of chile toreados. From the array of options including buche, suadero, carnitas, mushroom, and longaniza, my personal favorites turned out to be the carnitas and longaniza tacos. Despite their smaller size, the tacos were tasty. The taco truck is conveniently located in a charming food park with outdoor seating and plenty of private parking. It's a cute spot to enjoy some tacos. read more

These beef tacos are next level--seriously, flavor-packed perfection! And the FRIJOLES? Oh, don't even get me started--they're so good they could easily steal the show as a standalone meal. The service? Lightning-fast, and the staff was so friendly and upbeat, even with the place buzzing with people. Plus, the cozy outdoor spot under those gorgeous, shady trees made it feel like the perfect little escape to enjoy an unforgettable meal. Reasonable prices for everything on the menu! Highly recommend! read more
