    careful, this thief Jose tipped himself $2.70 on his own when I had already tipped them in cash. Ive called several times to speak to owner to no avail. I spoke w Jose 10 minutes after realizing he had tipped himself and he played dumb, blaming it on the machine. smh. You are better off going to MANGONADAS, across from pekitas. cuidado, aqui Jose de roba tu dinero, dándose, propinar el mismo cuando di propina en cash.

    Mini Tacos
    Melissa M.

    Mini Tacos were very good! The tacos and salsa had great flavor. These are definitely one of the better places I have had tacos for lunch.

    Pastor mini tacos + cheese and chicharron pupusas
    Dezeray V.

    One of the best pupusas I have ever had! Very flavorful food! Today I ordered 5 mini pastor tacos, 1 chicharron and cheese pupusa, 1 revuetlas pupusa ( chicharron +cheese + beans), a cup of watermelon fruit, and a lemonade. I love the pupusas, they have so much flavor, a perfect crispy outer texture, and are bigger then usual. The tacos had a really good flavor, also came with a good green avacado salsa. The only thing that I didn't like was the texture of the hard tortillas and grainy like texture from the meat. However, they are still a good taco. The watermelon was okay, could've been sweeter. The lemonade was water down.

    Pastor Mini Tacos

    Incredible! I got the mini tacos pastor and truly the best tacos I've had in Austin! Muy sabrosa

    Seems they're under new management! I was greeted right away with smile and the smell of cooked beef fajita meat!! They had a special of 5 mini tacos for only $6.99!! Filled with fresh avacodo, cheese, and grilled onions. Got my attention there!! A lady by the fruit bar asked if i wanted to try anything, to let her know so she can give me a free small sample. This place is small, but they have a variety of a lot of tasety things. I will definitely have to come back again and try their home made soups,fresh ceviche tostadas, shrimp cocktail. I give them stars because they were friendly, fast, and clean !!

    Sandillada.
    Clarissa B.

    I stopped by on a whim and asked for a sandillada which like a snow cone with watermelon pieces, chamoy, and chile. It was yummy! A little more ice than I prefer and not as much watermelon as I'd like, but good enough to order again and try others. The service was quick and friendly. The clerk was helpful, bilingual, and very welcoming. The place was small but clean and bright. Definitely worth a try!

    Pupusa and chicken fajita taco
    Mae G.

    Experienced much better mexican food in austin and this is one place I won't be coming back to if I'm craving tacos. I placed a to go order consisting of a chicken fajita taco and a bean and cheese pupusa. I was excited to try out pupusa as I have not been able to find too many places in austin that serve them. I order the taco with everything on it...so onions and cilantro but when I got it had a whole bunch of lettuce and tomatoes but no onions or cilantro. The problem was that the chicken tasted funky and not fresh...Also it didn't have much of a sear on it. The pupusa was good (not too much bean and cheese filling), and came with a slaw of cabbage and carrots. I was happy with both the items until I found a piece of hair in the slaw but they pack the slaw separate so I ate the pupusa but tossed the slaw. They had a green and red salsa and my favorite was the red..it had a smoky savory flavor that was great. Also, for some reason I was charged 0.25 extra, didn't affect the rating but I wasn't sure it that was a bag fee or a take out fee? so just a heads up. If I'm back I'll try the fruit and drinks. 1 star for the chicken taco 3 stars for the pupusa and salsa

    Pineapple, chamoy, chili powder, pineapple chunks and tamarind chili candy straw. Yes it's almost gone- it's that good!

    Food and service was amazing. I'd recommend buying food for the table and sharing with everyoneread more

    Best meal of the Austin trip: upscale tacos and housemade masa in a welcoming space…read more Food: 5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Waitress Kelly was wonderful and so professional. She noticed I was ordering dairy items on side and asked about if pesto in guacamole was ok. So astute and kind of her. Also on my friends second drink remembered she didn't want salt or her rim without even asking - Everything tasted so fresh and high quality - Brisket tacos: packed with flavor--maybe it was the wagyu meat or the black magic oil. Freshly made corn tortillas were awesome. Usually corn ones and pretty throwaway meh, but these added to the greatness of the tacos. 5 stars - Duck flautas: crispy covered in mild mole. Loved the mashed potato addition inside for some mellowness and texture. 5 stars - Guacamole: so fresh and that dollop of pesto on top was lovely. Served with crispy masa dippers were impressive almost a 8x11 page size. It was fun to crack off into pieces, but hard to stop eating it. 5 stars - Sweet potato: friend loved these long charred wedges. 4.5 stars - Cocktails were stellar. I got the Don Dario which was a play on a marg and delightful - $12 of a few drinks during lucky hour (Mon-Fri 5-6pm, Sat-Sun 3-5pm) - High energy vibes in a clean, open, tan colored space - Had their bottle water on the table in a champagne bottle which speaks to my heart Midlights: - In East Austin so have to Uber if you are staying more central - Tacos come in orders of 4. Wish it was less so we could've tried more variety. Lowlights - No food discounts for lucky hour - Didn't have time to try the choco taco which looked amaze - Large gap of time between items first few items coming out and the rest

The hostess greeted us and sat us down and introduced us to Justin, our waiter, and this guy is AWESOME!! We got served chips & salsa but I had questions about the menu and Justin had answers. I ordered the Quesabirria Tacos and instead of rice/beans, I got it subbed for the Side Street Corn. The food was brought to us fairly quick and the tacos, my my my - it was soft, had flavor and had a light crunch to it. I thought it was different from other quesabirria tacos I've had in the past, but this was different and perfect. I will get this again for sure when we come back again and again and again Hahahaa!! =D The staff was wonderful and the overall experience was phenomenal. And with Justin, give him a PHAT BONUS!! He's a great asset to this establishment for sure!!!

    Beautiful restaurant and excellent service (thank you Juan)…read more Very innovative cocktails. Good chips and salsa. The breakfast burrito was really delicious. Good refried beans, too. I ordered the brunch cachetada and wasn't thrilled. The suiza chicken and runny eggs diluted the flavor and made the cheese crust on the tortilla soggy. I had to add a lot of hot sauce. It needed more texture and flavor. Overall a boring dish. I would definitely return and order something else, however.

Every one of them was great, and it was hard to stop eating. I had Joel's Happy Plate, and honestly the roasted jalapeño on top is what sold me on ordering it. The whole dish was delicious. I also tried the Kathy Valentine taco because I'm a sucker for roasted poblano peppers. It was excellent, sweet from the corn, a little spicy from the peppers, and tied together with plenty of cheesy goodness. I'd happily order it again. My son ordered the Eldorado Burrito. He's usually not a big eater, but he put away a surprising amount of it. I stole a few bites myself and completely understood why. My girlfriend had the Uchingon Bowl, and she finished the whole thing. The crispy carnitas added a ton of flavor and texture. I've also had their coffee, the guava house margarita, and even the vegan Crunchwrap on previous visits. The Crunchwrap especially exceeded my expectations. What I appreciate most about Eldorado is that the food feels real. Nothing seems overly complicated, just quality ingredients prepared well. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. The interior is comfortable and welcoming. We've usually had a bit of a wait to be seated, but they make it easy by offering chips, salsa, and drinks outside while you wait. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. Just really good food made the right way.

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!
