    Togo trendy spot that's appeared spot on! No complaints here! Parking is horrible too. Overall breakfast tacos are the go to!

    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.

    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.

    If you are wanting some breakfast tacos this is the place! The tacos are massive and filled to the brim. Such a good price and the tacos themselves are so yummy. Service was pretty fast but this is a no frills spot, it's all about the food here.

    Now add the salsa, great breakfast taco.

    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.

    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 :)

The ambiance does look upscale, so are their prices. They have a great outdoor space and beautifully decorate indoor space. They're trying a lot of things - coffee shop with a bakery, dining restaurant, beer hall with craft beers. It does definitely get filled up in the mornings. My order: Bavarian latte Sour cream Kolaches Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese Bavarian latte though seasonal was nice and flavorful. Kolaches which was a savory and the everything bagel was something I loved with the cream cheese. Must-try! The order came around $20.

Back then, Austin needed a bakery so badly that easy tiger was a standout savior. Fresh bread (still great today!) and pastries were so welcome. At some point after Covid, quality started slipping. Pastries weren't changing. The croissants were soft with no crunch. The chicken schnitzel which is used to be thin had turn into a thick blob basically a giant chicken nugget. The pretzels I always loved tasted stale like they baked them and left them sitting under heat lamps for hours. Sandwiches tasted noticeably worse. Still, we continued to come here. And then they were sold in the last year. New owners and what's the first thing they do? Fix issues? No that would be hard. They raised prices. A LOT. Coffees cost more than anywhere else in the area. Lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids meal hits $90 with zero leftovers. Every time I come here I feel so squeezed and it's never worth it. So this is it. After 7 years I'm through. The place has so much potential but whatever is happening here I cannot support. There are far better bakeries (looking at you sugarwolf) and far better coffee places (literally dozens). Here is to hoping for a turnaround.

The sandwich I was planning to order contained pesto with nuts so I just felt like that would be my best bet. I typically avoid this, but it sounded so good that I couldn't resist. The employee that took my order over the phone was wonderful. So friendly and made it super easy. My order was ready when I went in! There is a small seating area inside, but lots of benches and picnic tables outside, and it was the perfect day to enjoy an outside lunch! I ended up doing the 1/2 chicken & eggplant sandwich with a side of the brisket chili. All of it was absolutely fantastic. The ingredients on the sandwich tasted super fresh and went together really well. The brisket chili was delicious with a little bit of spice as well. Highly recommend if you haven't checked out this spot!

First off, our salmon for the salad was requested as medium and well-done, but they both came out about halfway raw. I have a particularly sensitive stomach so this was a concern. I didn't feel comfortable eating it but decided to bring it home and cook it some more to avoid wasting food. Secondly, the chai latte was sickeningly sweet- which we did bring to their attention, and they did their best to adjust it. This is my friend's favorite place and she said the salmon has never come out raw before so I might give it another try, but am definitely a bit wary on the lack of consistency in food standards.

But by the time my friend arrived about 1:10 the line had disappeared and the crowd was quickly thinning out. I had the farmhouse club and my friend went with a salad (I forget which one). My sandwich was absolutely delicious and I cleaned it up. His salad was enormous and he couldn't finish it. He had enough leftover to take home for another meal. Neither came with a side but they are available for purchase. The restaurant is bright and cheerful inside with plenty of seating. And the staff are very friendly and eager to assist throughout the meal. The only downside is their prices being a little high for the type of setting so one star off.

I've been for both lunch and dinner, and lunch is clearly the peak time, which makes sense given the sandwich, salad, and soup menu. It feels built for the midday lunch crowd. The kitchen runs very efficiently, the line moves quickly, and online ordering is very easy. It's counter service, but I've taken meals to go a few times and everything traveled well. As of February 2026, it still has that brand new restaurant feel. The interior is bright, clean, and modern, and there's a ton of outdoor seating. However, you are just off 38th Street and across from the Seton medical complex, so al fresco dining may not be the quietest experience depending on traffic and time of day. Overall, a great addition to the area for lunch (or dinner).
