Something new we must try in our neighborhood. Cute! Little restaurant has plenty of seating inside and if you choose to sit outside, there's plenty of seating there too. The menu is not overly complicated. You basically walk in walk up to the counter. Look at the screens and it's not too hard to figure out what you want to eat. I ordered three tacos, the carnitas, nope. Nopales, and fajita de Pollo. I would say the fajita de pollo and the nopales was my two favorites. The carnitas have a different type of seasoning I'm not familiar with and I wasn't as fond of it as I was the chicken and the cactus. Guessing by the way the tortillas looked they were made here at the restaurant and were slightly browned on the outside which really enhances the experience of a taco made well. For the price and the menu options you get, this is a solid place. It will definitely be on our repeat place to eat. read more

A small hole in the wall that we found while in Austin and honestly it was great. We walked in a little late around 7:45 and there was only one person there but we decided to stay and try it out. We order a little bit of everything. Tortas, tacos, flautas, and a quesadilla. All of them came with beans and rice and that was the big surprise for all of us. They were both really good and had flavor and at most spots its either the rice is good and the beans lack something or vice versa. Here they both had great flavor. The flautas could have used a little more flavor but the portions are good size and the good overall was really good. The food was fresh and the staff was friendly. Over all we would come back if we happen to be in the area. read more

Wow! This was an unexpected find but a happy one. Stopped in to try out the tacos and was very pleased with the amazing selection of taco proteins and a decent menu overall. The storefront is definitely vintage but the food and service are awesome. I ordered a trio of tacos: al pastor, chorizo, and lengua (tongue), which I hadn't had since I lived in Chicago. All of the meat was nicely cooked, tender, juicy and flavorful. Highly recommended. read more

If you're looking for a taco place that delivers flavor, value, and consistency, La Montana Tacos should absolutely be on your list.

Randomly went to the closest place when we opened the phone. The corn tortillas were great! We were all loved our tacos. If you want a good taco at a good price it's worth coming here! read more

Taco truck tacos just in a building with AC. Servers are always polite when I try and speak at them in my broken Spanish

They have great tacos and fast service . The restaurant is small but the ambiance is cute. Service is absolutely amazing , the cashier is so sweet and very helpful ! read more

The food was amazing service was great. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting great food!!!

I went by surprise as i saw a lowkey taco spot as i drove by. i had a different impression since the menu pictures here are outdated. Nonetheless, i got myself two tacos, one al pastor and another carne asada, as well as a sope with beef fajitas. i was left pretty satisfied, but parched since i thought there were going to be drinks, but only a fridge with generic drinks. read more

La Montaña Tacos - Updated Menu - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

One of my favorite spots in North Austin. Great food at a reasonable price. Authentic and delicious!

Best to go in the morning or lunchtime. The meat seems to be fresher then. If you go near closing time you're taking your chances

Note: This review is for their new north location on Pond Springs After a lovely Sunday of buying awesome Mexican Metal yard art with which to adorn our fences and deck, the hubs and I were craving some serious Mexican eats! We found La Montana here on Yelp, and away we went! First, I just have to pay homage to that INCREDIBLE (and strong!) frozen margarita that we had! I opted for a large, and it was. Hubby and I shared it, and we both felt like we were whisked straight back to Cancun! Seriously delightful, and not too sweet! Equally delightful were the chips and salsa! The chips there are reminiscent of Houston's legendary Ninfa's on Navigation, if you're familiar with that yummy place! Thin and crispy! And that salsa? Beyond fresh and bright, y'all! We could have easily polished off two or three baskets with a vat of salsa! On to the meal: My husband had the Tinga, the Asada, and the Trompo tacos, just to get a feel for the place, and he was BLOWN away by the deliciousness and the authenticity of each of them! He said that he could easily imagine himself buying them from a street vendor in Mexico, which is the highest compliment! What makes them even more special is the gorgeous and warm handmade corn tortillas that they arrived in. Topping them with a bit of that aforementioned salsa made them just that much more dreamy for him! If you thought that my husband was losing his mind over the tacos, it was officially BLOWN by La Montana's Caldo de Res! Suffice it to say that HE LOVED IT! Caldo is his jam, and this one was simply the best that he's ever had. He called it stupidly crave-worthy and absolutely perfect. Full stop. You can trust him on that, if you're the caldo sort! Go grab some ASAP! As for me, after that enormous rita and all of those chips and salsa, I opted for just one Beef Fajita Taco with a side of crema, and it was AWESOME! I could totally see what hubs was talking about with his taco love! It was legit! Speaking of legit, this is authentic Mexican food, which is definitely what we were looking for! If you're looking for that oozy, gooey, cheesy Tex Mex-style Mexican food, you might want to hit up Matt's, but, if you're down to take a stroll through Mexico proper, gastronomically-speaking, hit up La Montana! You'll love it! The price is right, too! No downsides! Only ups! They're relatively new at this location, so they could definitely use your patronage, particularly during these times! Go grab a margarita, and say hi to our adorable server, Leniel, while you're there! Cheers, y'all! read more

The food was not bad. But could not fully enjoy or finish it because they decided to kick up dust around my table sweeping the floor and stacking the chairs on the tables around me 45 minutes before their closing time. I've seen people carefully sweep around tables to remove debris while people are still eating, but this was pushing dust up into the air. I had to stop eating for my health. Their food prep items were still out so I feel bad for all the people eating there tomorrow, but I realize I'm probably eating what was on the floor yesterday. read more

I've been looking around for the best breakfast tacos in this area and landed on La Montaña. Homemade tortillas with a perfect flavor stuffed with bacon, egg, cheese and grilled jalapeños is what gets me moving in the morning. Highly recommended this place. Don't let the appearance full you. This place slams. Note to owner... If you painted your sign, you'd get more business. Keep up the amazing cooking because you've now become my favorite Mexican restaurant in town! read more

La Montaña Tacos - Bacon, egg, cheese and grilled jalapeños on a flour tortilla. So dank. - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

BEST TACOS IN AUSTIN!! I've tried many taco spots around Austin and they are usually dry + overpriced. This spot is a hidden gem! 10/10

Ever come across a place and wondered how come I missed this while browsing....I had to go to the first review and its been open since 2017...after our Breakfast Taco outing, I though about how much I have missed out. These Tacos are excellent!!....Scratch made flour tortilla all day....We both had the same....Chorizo, Egg and Cheese and a Bacon, Egg and Cheese...You dont expect much on presentation when getting BT to go, but this place is different. Served flat on a tray and covered with foil...Looking at it made them all that much better. Permanent Book mark for this place. read more

I did it. I came back when I visited Austin again. Damn was it worth it! The tacos were just as good as I remember, though the prices have (reasonably) increased a bit. Still very affordable though, especially when compared to larger, less-delicious, gentrified tacos you can find at places that rhyme with "Porchy's Pacos." The pastor tacos remain the undefeated champ, but the carnitas and tinga tacos also earned their spots in the winners' circle. read more

I've been here a couple dozen times, usually I get my food to go. The tacos are all good, my husband loves the Chicken Tinga. Their rice is EXCELLENT. The refried beans are not my favorite style (the pale thin kind) but they are also good. The 5 stars is for the chicken flautas!!! They are absolutely outstanding!!! The best in the city!!! 10/10 Also both their red and green salsas are extremely flavorful really spicy!! The people here are always nice & the food comes out fast. read more

I'm not really the type to post reviews but I think I finally can after being a loyal customer since 2018. If you're looking for real authentic Mexican food this is the spot. As a Mexican I can say this is the REAL DEAL. They're red enchiladas are to die for, and they make their tortillas by hands! It reminds me of my grandmas Mexican Hometown. I would have to say that the service itself is not bad but not good either. They will not take that extra step of service or greet you with a genuine greeting at the door just like a lot of other places. It's not a deal breaker and not a reason to NOT come here but don't expect this place to be like your usual restaurant. It's a hole on the wall family owned business but overall amazing MEXICAN food read more

Best North (almost east) Mexican food next to 35! Tortillas are fresh and so are the ingredients.

This place is a must for breakfast. I had 2 breakfast tacos with bacon, potatoes, cheese, eggs, & fresh jalapeños.

La Montaña Tacoshas amazing tacos!The migas, asada and pastor are my go to favorites. If you're looking for some genuine Mexican tacos I highly recommend this place. The establishment itself is very small so I would recommend to-go. read more

Excellent, quality, inexpensive tacos and mexican food. This is a local small business primarily frequented by the spanish speaking community, and as as result I consider it authentic tacos and flavors. It's not comparable to the "taco delis" and other chain stores. Some of the tacos come with a slice of lime so you can add that perfect touch of tangy, citrus flavor right before you enjoy them with (or without) some of the house sauce (it's spicy more than flavorful). My go-tos meats on tacos and quesadilla : asada + beef fajita and tinga (chicken). You can do 1/2 half on the large quesadilla or try a mini one depending on your hunger level. The mexican rice is some of the best I've had and it's a nice side, even if you just stick to the tacos. Call in to place a pick-up order, as they make everything fresh and you may have to wait otherwise. If you have time, check out the small juice place nextdoor. They only speak spanish, but don't let that stop you... It's fantastic freshly squeezed juice that's made to order (+cheap!) -- my personal favorite is the OJ. read more

Note: Pond Springs location review- Went back during dinner for more yumminess... it was still good, but ... when we walked in we were told we can sit where we want by a young lady who had her kids in a stroller... I guess she is the hostess & didn't have any child care that night? During our visit she strolled around the restaurant multiple times with the kids. The salsa wasn't as fresh... it was different than our first visit... it was fresh, just not the same recipe, so that was disappointing as I love my chips n salsa. It didn't have that Bang- i just made this salsa taste. The flautas were still good... just still wishing for some crunchy grilled tacos. read more

This review is for the Pond Springs location. I ordered take out. The menudo was hands down the best I've ever had. My son wanted the chicken enchiladas and ate the entire plate which was more than enough for 2 adults and he's 8! I had the lingua and barbacoa tacos and wish I had ordered more. They serve goat on Sundays and I can't wait to go! Don't skip this gem. The staff are amazing and you can tell they love what they do. read more

Be still, my taco-loving heart, for we have found the promised land. Lo' and behold, it's located in a mucky-looking shopping strip at the corner of Middle Fiskville and Braker. The interior, however, is as spotless as any good Mexican abuela would have it. I melted when I saw the taco lady pinching off rounds of dough for the made-to-order tortillas, pausing only to give a stir to the giant cauldron of refried beans with a wooden spoon as tall as her. I knew right then that my taco dreams had come true. 4 tacos with three items each came out to a mere $6.50. Apologies for not being able to pause for a photo before devouring my prize. I did, however, snap a photo of the most LEGIT salsas I've had this side of the Rio Grande (excuse the dirty plate). They don't have much seating so if you go at a busy time it's probably best to take it to-go, which is probably better lest you make onlookers uncomfortable whilst inadvertently recreating THAT scene from 'When Harry Met Sally.' It's that good, y'all! * 4 stars for now since I've only been once. I have no doubt I'll be updating this with a fifth star. read more

Terrific tacos. Like. Terrific. Seating is hard to come by, and every time I go, there's a line. The line moves quickly, but the food isn't super fast. Tortillas are hand-made and delicious. read more

If you're looking for authentic tacos, this is the place to go. I shamefully prefer more Americanized tacos a la OneTaco, but I'd definitely be down to come back. Pros: - Excellent service. I dropped my tacos outside and they replaced my order free of charge and cleaned up the mess before I got to pick it up. - Customizable. I don't like vegetables and they accommodated. You can also ask for guac, different types of salsas, and limes. - Affordable. I got 2 asadas and 1 chorizo, total was $6.50 for imo good portions. I usually get 2 tacos and OneTaco and got 3 here, so they're on the smaller side, but I felt quite full on 3. Note I tend to have a smaller stomach than most. Cons: - Lack of vegetarian variety. I went with a vegetarian and he said there was only potato and cucumber tacos. Both were good according to him but both are cooked on the same flat top as meat, so if this bothers you, take note. - Small and hot. We went during lunch hour and there wasn't enough indoor seating. There's outdoor seating and today it felt equally hot inside and out. Edit: I added a photo of my tacos but it doesn't appear to be linked to the review. read more

This place exceeded expectations!!! The tacos were delicious the staff was friendly and willing to help with the menu. The only down side is the dining area is a bit small, so be prepared to wait for a table, but the food makes the wait worth it. Only reason why i didn't give it five starts is due to the trompo pastor tacos were dry. read more

I honestly can not say much about the food, given that I haven't tried everything they offer. What I have gotten was the carnitas, beef fajitas tacos, rotisserie chicken, and chicken sopes. Carnitas are very hit or missed, they could be better especially if the consumer had the option to have it with all they mix with the carnitas or WITHOUT, just plain carnitas. Beef fajitas tacos are good, mainly because the corn tortilla is hand made! Love the rotisserie chicken! Sopes are good. The problem is the rudeness of the employees! Worst part owner is there most of the time and doesn't do nor say anything to them. Over the phone orders are a nightmare! Make sure, no matter how busy they are, to have them repeat your order to you and make sure you check your order when you receive it before leaving! read more

The best tacos I've had hands down. Coming from Colorado, there is an abundance of Authentic Mexican food, however nothing in Colorado quite hit the mark like how La Montaña Tacos did. I got the Al Pastor, Asada, cow head, and tongue. All were equally delicious and had tons of meat in each taco, they did not go skimpy at all! The tortillas were also homemade which really added to the taco. The salsas there were very spicy but to me tolerable. This place is definitely a go to if you're wanting authentic Mexican tacos. So good! read more
