    8 tacos
    Chelsea L.

    Austin has a lot of delicious taco spots, but Discada is one of the best I've had! I like that you don't have to pick which type of taco you want-they only have one kind. Perfect for people who are indecisive. Queso, which is not the melted cheese I was thinking, is the cheese on top in my picture and costs extra. Sauce costs extra. For the price, the tacos are really small. With that being said, the tacos taste really good. The meat is flavorful and tacos are cooked to perfection.

    It's on the Michelin guide for a reason! These tacos might be my new favorite! They are small and just know 3 isn't enough because they are SO GOOD! The staff is super friendly and chalmers is a great place to grab a drink and hangout for the day. There is only one taco option it's just how many do you want to eat. You will be dreaming of them!

    The Michelin Guide has tried its best to remain relevant amid the vicissitudes of contemporary dining and cooking. The Guide has not always succeeded. Some of the most pedestrian taqueria's in my native California have been given the Bib Gourmand distinction; to wit, Tacos Sinaloa of Oakland, La Taqueria of San Francisco, and Jaramillo's of Los Angeles. Sometimes Michelin gets low end dining correct. In the case of Discada, they had no choice. The Discada truck is undeniable. There are few tacos like the one's at Discada. The stewing down of meats, aromatics and spices is an earthy savory abyss that gets brightened up by a red onion habanero flurry. The truck lies within a compound along with a sprawling sports bar, a BBQ counter and maybe some other things. The whole space is a converted filling station/auto repair yard. You have to present your ID at the gate. A good move is to smuggle in a tall can purchased at the store across the street. You might get caught, but it's worth a try.

    Discada in Austin is an ABSOLUTE must-try. The flavors are incredible, rich, bold, perfectly balanced and the meats are unbelievably moist and tender. You can tell everything is cooked with care and serious attention to detail. From 24hours marinading to the 6 hours smoke every bite delivers that deep, savory flavor that keeps you coming back for more (literally we went back to order more). On top of the food, the staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Despite how popular it is, they turn over orders incredibly fast without sacrificing quality. You're not waiting around long, and what you get is consistently excellent. 10/10 would recommend. Discada lives up to the hype and then some.

    My first time checking out their new location behind Chalmers Bar. There is tons of seating outside and inside the bar. Service is relatively quick as well. They only serve one type of taco, but you can select from 3, 5 or 8 tacos. The tacos are small, about 2-3 bites per piece, but they are packed with flavors. The sauces also add a tang. The tacos are okay in my opinion. Not the best in Austin, but definitely in the top 5! Highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner!

    Contrary to most of the reviews here, I found the tacos to be overhyped. They were tiny, and they just didn't taste that great. The flavor was mostly greasy, without much contrast. I expected the pineapple to shine through more, but it really didn't. Overall, the dish felt very plain and lacked depth.

    National Taco Day was a good day to find out about Discada. I had never heard of it until a friend texted me that they were offering 3 tacos de Discada. When I arrived, the line was long, giving me a chance to read up on Discada tacos. According to their sign: Born in Northern Mexico, Discada is a specialty dish of beef, pork, and aromatics cooked on a tractor plow disc. We hand chop all ingredients, marinate them for 24 hours, and slow-cook them in layers for 6 hours. The result? A rich, flavorful taco unlike anything you've ever tasted." When I received the 3 tacos, I discovered that description to be true: they were flavorful tacos unlike anything I had ever tasted! The corn tortillas that I requested were moist and tasty. Despite the line of people waiting for tacos, the service was somewhat quick. I didn't mind waiting a little for delicious tacos on National Taco Day! The ambiance is relaxed and casual, as would be expected from a food truck.

    Love how they specialize in one type of taco, and they do so fabulously! The food truck is located inside of Chalmer's, so expect to show the bouncer your ID before you can head in. It is also a bit loud in there, but as expected for a sports bar environment. There was no wait for us on a Sunday 2pm. The discada taco is packed with flavor. A bit on the smaller side, the tray of 3 tacos was a good snack size for me. The pink sauce (hot) packs a punch, while the orange sauce (mild) is a tangy, not very spicy compliment. I would highly recommend dropping by! There is a reason this is a Michelin guide restaurant.

    Pro-tip: Enjoy with a choice of Discada's drinks (topo or Mexican coje, for example). Drinks at Chalmers are way too expensive for what it is. Great service, and tasty presentation. Street-style tacos (with meat), so the plate of 8 tacos are recommended. Both salsas are flavorful, with the pink one being spicier (due to the habanero). Pricey for the portion size, but, you know...this economy...

    I don't know if it's considered a controversial/hot take (a la Austin BBQ opinions) to say I like Discada over Cuantos... It's still so interesting to think that the Michelin inspectors sat down just like we did and decided that two food trucks had better tacos than most sit down restaurants in the city. They technically only have one flavor, but this one flavor is the only one needed because it's mindblowing!! The price is reflective of their new reputation, and also because it's food adjacent to a bar but once in a while a trip here would be warranted. The seating area is covered and has A/C which is great. I could see the screen showing a baseball game without issue, and the bathroom sink area is easy to access if you just want to wash hands/not use the facilities.

    Hot take: I'm not a fan of tacos, but for Discada, I'll make an exception. If you're looking at the menu and are wondering, "Where are the options"--you don't need them. The only decision you need to make is: 3, 5, or 8 tacos? (Pro tip: go big, the tacos are as big as my tiny hand). Another note: immediate yes on the Elote. If you don't eat pork or beef, I'm genuinely sorry, that's the only taco on the menu. But, I wish you could know how incredible it is!! The meat is slow-cooked for six hours, then topped with micro-diced onions, cilantro, and pineapple upon serving.

    Elle K.

    If you're on a taco tour in Austin, this place must be on your list!! They only sell one type of taco and get it as it comes. They're tiny 2-3 bite tacos or one if you're brave. The meat to the tortilla to the toppings to the salsas, everything is perfect. You can get just three tacos for a snack or get all eight for a full meal. They are a food truck located inside the bar chalmers with lots of seating and great vibes. Cannot recommend this place enough, incredible tacos!

    THE BIG: Taco food truck right off of Navasota and Rosewood. However, I do believe they move around a bit, so check their website! Street parking typically wherever you find them. THE BLACK AND WHITE: Heard from a couple of folks that this place was the best taco spot in town and had to try it. It was around 6pm when we arrived and there was fortunately only two other people in front of us ordering. Discada specializes in one type of taco and they come in 1, 3 or 8. We got the 8. The spice/heat was there with the condiemnts and the little tacos reminded me of cuantos tacos. I still think cuantos is better, however these little tacos do pack a mean bite. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Ultimately we spent around $17 for eight tacos. Very affordable and they specialize in one taco. Delicous and will be back!

    Are their tacos gluten free?

    The tacos I ate were made of corn, but I'm not up on what is or isn't gluten free.

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'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!
