This restaurant is a reoccurring visit my family and I always make. Their breakfast tacos are the best that I've ever had. I've tried a variety of food overtime from this place, and everything is perfect, so you can't go wrong with anything, in my opinion. The staff is always super friendly, and they work super hard to get everyone's order out at a decent time. Cons: the parking lot is not my favorite. But the food makes up for that. I'll always be back! I definitely recommend it. read more

I keep forgetting about Ken's and I drive by it daily for my morning route to work. They have biscuits and gravy (of course tacos and more) but I needed to curb my biscuit craving. The portion is generous for the price. Total cost was under 5 bucks. The place itself is nothing fancy, just fairly priced and good quick food. It's been around for ages so that speaks for itself. read more

It's been two days i order a fish dinner and you can clearly tell they taken one piece of fish a fillet it into two thin extra crispy pieces to stretch the fish out instead of just selling two pieces as advertised. I thought the pubic should know and shame on Ken's , they should just advertise one and let that be your choice read more

I haven't been to Ken's Tacos in a while. The Austin American Statsman came out with the top 10 and Ken's was nuber 10. Not in my book. I got there at 6:15 AM and there were people already ordering. I decided to order two two tacos. The staff member appeared to be confused when I ordered. I stated two tacos. Potato, sausage and cheese. She repeated my order two times and stated two tacos with potato, bacon and cheese. I had to correct her bouth times. My order did come out quick, however it didn't have time to look at it to see it everything was what I requested. I asked for two hot sauces, one red and one green. The same staff member that placed my order stated it would be 30 cents a piece. The hot sauce looked completely waterd down. No way I was going to purchase hot sauce that usually in my opinion comes with it. I then got home. Looked at my tacos, and pretty much it was a backed potato taco. Hardly any cheese or sausage. So my order was correct. Never going to this establishment again. 10 dollars for two tacos not including the not including the waterd down hot sauce. Not sure how they came out top 10. read more

Definite hole in the wall vibe with great food. Parking can be tough, so be prepared for that. Philly cheesesteak, large and filling! Meat was delicious. Bread was nice and buttery but fell apart trying to eat it. Breakfast tacos are as big as everyone says. They don't skimp on the filling at all, and everything was pretty tasty. Needless to say, we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. read more

They took their prices up and shrank their food. Food tastes amazing but so much smaller. The service was quick and fast. The environment was chill. Um... it will be a minute before I come from out of town to get these. read more

If you've followed my reviews for any length of time you will quickly learn that I love me some breakfast tacos and I typically am an order three tacos kinda guy...so imagine the shock I had upon first visit when I was greeted with a bag that felt like seven pounds of tacos. I could barely get through a taco and a half so heed the warnings when people put in their reviews for Ken's that tacos are HUGE...Ken is NOT joking around. Yelp actually helped me find Ken's when in Central Austin for work and since then it has become a regular in my breakfast rotation whilst in town. An unassuming storefront..dare I say a taco dive sits just off the intersection of Rundberg Ln. and Cameron Rd. Parking is a TIGHT dozen(ish) parking spots. Walk in, place your order at the counter, and find a seat. After a short wait your number will be called and it'll be taco time. My go-to order is short sweet simple: potato egg and cheese breakfast tacos. I also always go with their green salsa, soooo delish. Now I will say, at least for the potato egg and cheese tacos, they are a bit under-seasoned, but I hit them with a bit of salt and salsa and we are good to go! Don't go in expecting bells and whistles and all that. It's a taco dive that serves up quality massive portions with consistency. And I will be back time and time again when works allows for it. read more

A cash only greasy spoon for breakfast will hit the spot. We had the bean and cheese taco, carnitas, and a beef one. They were definitely seen shortly there after if you know what I mean. But tasty and filling for the price, you can't beat it! read more

Ken's Subs Tacos & More - Don't forget your ticket - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Been coming here since high school over 10 years loyal cusmoter. Yesterday forgot to take my Mexican coke when I left and called and didn't get answer. Came in next morning like I do every day since my child care is down street. For them to say did you call did you leave a message? We cannot do nothing about it. Lost a loyal customer of years. I didn't need to lie for a coke this is why locals north Austinites stop caring about our local restaurants, because they feel like we owe our loyalty. Rather go to some new place than this. Do better Kens. Sad day but the brush off from the staff nope read more

Don't get the hype with this place. Just for a breakfast taco. Chorizo, egg, beans, potato, and cheese. Somehow they managed to take all the flavor out of it. How do you take the flavor out of chorizo?! Thought well let's add hot sauce to it. They gave me red even tho I asked for green. Hey gave me what tastes like tomato sauce. The reviews have to be from midwestern white people who eat crunchy tacos with iceberg lettuce and old El Paso taco sauce. The HEB fresh mart has way better tacos. The tacos are full and they are cheap. Maybe that's why the food reviews? Personally I'll pay more for a good taco. read more

Very good! Large tacos with tons of meat. Ordered 26 and everyone was very happy! Thank you!

Service is fast, friendly, and no-fuss. Prices are great for the portions, and it's the kind of place that feels local in the best way: unpretentious, reliable, and genuinely satisfying. read more

As a proud Austinite, I've been going to Ken's tacos ever since I was in high school. I enjoyed their giant delicious tacos way back then and now that I've rediscovered them, I am proud to say they are just as tasty as I remember. Fair warning, they are not open on Sundays. I joined a dance group that practices nearby on Sundays so I was always reminded that this place was still there on Rundberg and Dessau/Cameron Road but I needed to remember to make my way back when it was open. That opportunity arose as I was headed back from the airport on 183 after dropping someone off in the wee hours of the morning (i.e. 6 am for me). Faithfully, they were already open so I was able to order my favorite - bacon, egg and cheese. They're giant and also very tasty. If you're like me, you may order two breakfast tacos at Tacodeli but here, you might just only need to order one. The place itself is no frills. It's a lunch counter that offered great food and fast service. If you need to order takeout, they can whip up your order in less than ten minutes, if they're not too busy. So I will definitely be making my way back more often since I've been reacquainted with this delicious gem and I highly recommend for others to try this tried and true Austin staple as well. read more

No one told me that these tacos were going to be as massive as they are. We came here for breakfast, and I was not prepared to make as many decision as I had to (I did it to myself I think). Coming in, it's a standalone restaurant with yellow walls, an ordering counter, and a bit of seating. Easy to get started, but difficult to decide what you want. When you order a breakfast taco, you can get it with up to 4 things. I got 3 tacos, and 4x3 is 12. It was hard to make 12 choices, 1 after the other. I got a bacon, potato, egg, and sausage, a bacon, egg, beans, and cheese, and a chorizo, potato, and egg one. My bad for being slow and holding up the line. The tacos came out so fast, I was real happy about that. They give you two kinds of salsa as well: a green salsa and red salsa. Spicy and spectacular, I'd say. Yummy! I took bites out of all of my tacos, but I was NOT able to finish them. I think I took the equivalent of 1.5 tacos home. So great, but so much food, hahaha! Super affordable, too. Next time I'm back in town, I'm coming for you, Ken! read more

This place was a complete disappointment from start to finish. The food was utterly bland -- no seasoning, no flavor, nothing remotely enjoyable now. To make matters worse, the service was shockingly unprofessional. The staff acted like we were inconveniencing them by simply being there. Our server was rude, and argumentative. read more

I saw a story on the local news where they were searching out the best breakfast tacos and Ken's was on their list. I was out doing some recon on a fine Saturday morning. Parking is tight and the place was busy. Surprising it has a larger dine-in than it looks like from outside. I saw previous posts that say the tacos are big, they are and the price is right. I tried the sausage and egg and poured on the green sauce. So good! That one didn't get a picture, I was hungry and it just didn't get past me opening it up. Plenty of meat and eggs, lots of flavor. The chorizo was just as flavorful, and again, very hearty. I didn't pay attention to the winner of the news channels taco story, but this place was on their list. Ken's is well worth the visit. It's one of those places that you can bring someone from out of town to show off the locals love for breakfast tacos. read more

Great portions if you're not black. A friend of mine came in and ordered 12 crispy tacos and man they were beautiful, full of everything. I got mine and they were basically enough to call them tacos. I've noticed this with Mexican establishments in Austin. Especially at Ken's. The non welcoming looks from the younger cashiers like they have a problem with me wanting yacos. The food is fantastic but if we spend the same money for the same food, why did my not black friend get these emaqulent tacos and I always get just enough to call it a taco if I tip or not? read more

When we used to live here, this would be our go-to spot for breakfast tacos. Now, roughly 6 years after our last visit, we come to get their breakfast tacos once again, which is just like before. We always get the one meat sausage breakfast tacos; they always pack it up with a lot of eggs and a good amount of sausage. I tend to get full after just one breakfast taco. The only downside is that since this location is pretty popular, the parking lot tends to get filled up quick, and since its parking lot is pretty small, be prepared to park somewhere else or wait until someone leaves. Other than that, awesome place to get some food :) read more

Ken's makes mucho grande, delicioso breakfast tacos! These are some of the best, most reasonably priced tacos I've had in my 30 years in Austin. Very fresh and their salsas are yummy too. The ladies working behind the counter are doing a terrific job (I have never seen any men working here- so pardon the exclusion if you're there). Leave 15 minutes early for work and treat yourself to a Ken's taco. And yes, one is enough! Let me know if you try it. read more

Tacos are delicious! I love the babacoa. However, Iam sure you will love whichever item you choose.

I finally tried Ken's for lunch. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak and added jalapeños. It did not disappoint. Trying to lift it and eat it by hand was futile. I ended up using knife and fork. Definitely a great sandwich. Friend had the beef, lettuce and tomato crunchy tacos. They were excellent and like everything there a home run. Prices are very reasonable! The inflation we are suffering has hit every restaurant even Ken's. One thing is still true, you get a great deal still for the price! Best value for all the places in area. Breakfast tacos are epic and definitely some of best in Austin! read more

The tacos used to be better. Some of the other meals are still great. The problem is that they NEVER take accountability for their mistakes. If you order one thing and they give you something else. Especially if you're not eating in the restaurant they act like it was you that said the wrong thing not them that made a mistake. It's bad customer service. As far as the ambiance it's run down hit in the summer and they advertise ac repair as another business they own. I think they should work on the ac in the restaurant before promoting a business of that kind. read more

I have been eating at Ken's for 20+years and they have always served the best, most consistent taco. Now that I don't live close by, it's a treat when I am on that side of town at breakfast time. Ken must treat his employees very well as a lot of the same staff still works there today as well. Great job Ken's and looking forward to the next time I am on your side of town! read more

Have been getting tacos from Ken's in the mornings since I was in diapers (late 90s). Amazing service by real austin people with great attitudes throughout the day. Wholesome food with hefty portions. The bean and cheese are too good every time. Parking lot has spots in the front. read more

Can't believe this place still exists. Moved back to Austin. I found this place back in 1996. I'm so glad they stopped using french fries for potatoes. I deducted one star because the bacon needs to be cook a little more. Too raw for me. Their barbacoa is excellent. Almost as good as San Antonio. Can't remember eating lunch, but definitely will be back for breakfast tacos. read more

First time I'm back physically in the office within the past 17 months and I already knew I needed to stop by Ken's for lunch.

There's parking out front, but probably max of 8-10 vehicles. When I came at 7am for breakfast there was already a steady flow of people coming in and out to place orders and to grab their takeouts. I learned about this place through word of mouth and some web searches. Highly disappointed. Although their serving sizes were enormous, the food was lackluster and the tacos did not stand out. I ordered two tacos: a bean & cheese and a sausage & egg. Again, they were massive! But upon opening the first tacos, I noticed that the tacos were not toasted and seemed as if they came directly out of the bag without any additional browning. Generic store though soft shells are what they tasted like. The sausage crumble was well seasoned, but the eggs could have used some too. For the bean taco, it was on par to lukewarm. I couldn't finish that taco. The highlight was probably the salsa that it comes with! Great spice and flavor to the green one. read more
