    Flavia's food truck
    Beverly M.

    The excellent handmade tortillas are such a draw. "What do you recommend,"I always ask when I show up at a Mexican food truck. Sometimes I get a "whatever" look and sometimes they ask me questions, like they did at Flavia's. How spicy do I like it? Have I tried aporreado? I'm a Mexico City girl, born and raised, and I'd never heard of aporreado, which apparently consists of meat beaten with a stone, salted, shredded, stirred with egg and cooked in guajillo chili, árbol chili or serrano chili sauce, with garlic and cilantro. Yum. Short on time and only wanting a snack, I tried the tinga de pollo and it was sensational. This is a woman-owned business by serious Mexican cooks. Kind ones, too.

    Current menu.

    Food was great. 2 taco lunch for $5 is a great deal. Scratch made corn tortillas are awesome.

    Breakfast tacos
    Liv G.

    I wanted some cheap breakfast tacos and found this food truck place near me. $5 for two is a steal. I got the bacon and egg and potato and egg. It came with a green sauce. They were nice and fast. They both were really good! The only thing I felt I had to add was a little salt and pepper but the tortillas were delicious. Overall great deal I want to come back and try the regular tacos! The green sauce has the perfect kick to it.

    Chicken Tinga taco
    Michael C.

    I'm offended that it took Yelp this long to show me the way to Flavia and her Kitchen. Just kinda perfect in every way. Tried a sampling of tacos by way of their 2 taco special for $5. Each was delectable, effortless in its own way. My favorites were the standout Carnitas, juicy and savory, followed closely by the Chicken Tinga. I really appreciate the handmade tortillas, they were probably the best I've had in ATX, and the salsas included were fantastic as well. I really liked the green salsa -- it had a really good depth of flavor. Excited to try much more!

    Tacos (al pastor and bistec) with salsa and watermelon aqua fresca
    Andrew C.

    I've been trying to try this place but have found the hours to be a bit inconsistent. However, I saw that they were open and I ducked in for a quick bite and drink. The folks here are very nice and the tacos come out pretty quick. My order was two tacos - Al Pastor and Bistec and a watermelon aqua fresca. The aqua fresca was really good it wasn't overly sweet and had just enough watermelon flavor. Both tacos were also very food without the meats being overly salty (which I find a lot of places doing). I got three little things of salsa on request and they were all excellent. Very fresh tasting with great heat. I'll have to stop buy again and try a few more things.

    2 Pastor to Paradise!
    Joe T.

    Flavia is bringing the noise to Flavortown. These tacos were great! 1 steak and 2 Pastor to Paradise. Please tip your food truck! Prices are fantastic for what you get.

    left: Carnitas and Tinga Right: Barbacoa and Al Pastor

    The lady who took our order was so friendly and nice, answered our questions without hesitation. We got 2 for $5, one al pastor and one barbacoa. They were both good but the pastor was better. My mom got tinga and carnitas. She liked both. the tables were clean despite only one person taking orders and making the food. Would recommend this place.

    Al pastor and spicy chicken (tinga de pollo)
    Angela Y.

    I loved this food truck! Their street tacos are slightly larger than the ones you'd find in other Austin street taco shops. The tortillas weren't as soft as I was expecting (they tasted more like store bought tortillas). The proteins were wonderfully seasoned, although both were fairly spicy. Ask to try all three sauces - they were all delicious. We also purchased a passion fruit agua fresca. The medium size is $2 and the large size is $3. I would definitely recommend it, as it was refreshing in the hot day and complemented the heat of the tacos well. There is plenty of parking and seating space.

    Carnitas Gorditas!
    Cecilia H.

    The fantastic smells coming from this little taco truck are amazing! My husband and I had lunch here on Saturday, he had a carnitas torta and a barbacoa taco - both very delicious! I had the order of carnitas gorditas- outstanding, the avocado was fresh and delicious the salsa spicy and the perfect accompaniment to our meal. If you ever find yourself in the area ( Oltorf & 1st Street by the Starbucks) grab yourself something delicious from Flavia's! They have vegetarian options as well.

    This place rocks!

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.

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!

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.
