    Tacos de Bistek

    The taco special is so good, super convenient to place your order over the phone and pick up in less than 7 minutes!

    Solid Tacos coming from a tiny trailer...Service was good...Tortillas were really good...picked up 3 Bacon , Egg and Cheese...Hot, fresh and cheesy...Hot sauce had a great kick. We were headed out for a walk at St. Edwards and these hit the spot...Would definitely go back. Lot of ToGo traffic.

    Honestly, I'm from the valley near the border of Mexico so finding semi decent Mexican tacos around Austin is impossible. La traila on the other hand really impressed me, their tortillas are super fresh and just how homemade Mexican tortillas should taste like. The inside was a omelette of goodness. I got el flako which is eggs, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, onion, and cheese served with real salsa verde. If you go YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT!

    Do you like breakfast tacos? You live in Austin, of course you like Breakfast Tacos. Well then taco lover, you already know there are about a million choices in Austin when it comes to eggs wrapped in a tortilla. You can go ahead and add one more option to that already expansive list. La Trailá may not be the most exciting place, and it might not do anything really new or different, but damn it is pretty good. They have all the standard egg + meat (or potato, if you're into that) tacos as well as a few big specialty tacos. They also have this great spicy green salsa that is quite delicious. The tortillas are apparently all handmade as well, and that's pretty rad. The cost is pretty good as well. I pay roughly $1.50 for a eggs/meat taco, and roughly $2.75 for a eggs/meat/taters/avocado taco. So, La Trailá is pretty great even if it's pretty unexciting. If you happen to be driving down Mesa you should stop by and give it a shot. Oh yeah, and they are cash only... so make sure you bring some green paper.

    These are the most heavenly tacos. Ever. Came here on a whim when the line at Torchy's was ridiculously long and I'm officially hooked. Everything tastes super fresh and the prices are great! My favorite by far are the al pastor tacos. This place is truly a hidden gem.

    La traila and Yerba mate. That's my morning ritual.

    Breakfast tacos were delicious- we had migas, chorizo, sausage, and bacon. We ordered a bunch for a group and they came out very quick!

Arriba Abajo as you walked in just gave me all the vibes of a happening place when you want to hang out with friends and have a great time. We ordered the braised ribs rolled tacos for appetizers. It was so fresh and kicking' with all kinds of flavors. I wish I had ordered another one. The avocado sauce layered on the bottom was just enough to keep wanting more. For lunch I ordered the Carneasada Fajitas with chimichurri and my husband ordered the Carneasada Taqueria. With my fajitas came a side of frijoles, green rice & flour tortillas. Corn flour was the other option. Both meals came in pipin' hot & the smell coming from both was very aromatic, zesty & spice. Amazing taste, flavors, just the right amount of marinade on the Carneasada with a hint of lime. It was so delicious while enjoying the ambiance. Our server was a delight and took very good care of us. We didn't order any of their alcoholic beverages since we were both working, but definitely we will be back to enjoy more food and try out their beverages.

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!

    As a Texas native & Austinite, my boyfriend has been going to Fonda for years (they've been around…read moresince 1975 after all). I've only been once and it's definitely not gonna be the last time. In fact, we've got an upcoming reservation that's been on the books for quite sometime. They've managed to remain delicious, relevant and in demand 50 years! That's saying something. I'll tell you what that says...it says they rule! Reservations can be tricky to get but oh so worth it. The bar & atrium are fantastic and they boast a generous happy hour. The restaurant area and entire space are decorated wonderfully. Amazing artwork adorns the walls, they've got extensive art all about, vaulted ceilings and more. It's kind of like being in a hacienda. It feels like you're in Mexico. Truly. The restaurant and food are upscale without being pretentious. How refreshing! Speaking of refreshing...they've got cocktails and mocktails that will knock your socks off. I'm a big fan of the Nojito. My boyfriend loves the Mexican martini (it's primo). Let's talk about food. Wow-wee is it everything and then some. This is the kind of Tex-Mex flavor that sends your tastebuds into a tailspin of goodness! On our visit we did a salsa flight (we did 3 salsas), the queso (melted muenster and Oaxacan), Wagyu beef tacos, and chicken verde enchiladas. We did a spread like that in order to share everything. Food so good I'd give ten stars if I could. I can't put my finger on it but there's just something so special about the food, the taste of it, and the quality. It's just incredible flavor explosion bite after bite. If I had to guess, I'd say the food has been made with love, skill, and attention to detail all these years. Hence, their amazing reputation. Service is beyond compare. Hands down some of the best I've experienced in all of my worldly travels. Fonda San Miguel (Tzintzuntzan) is a dream come true!
