Chilanga torta is awesome. Portions are large and we probably could have split it. Mexican hamburger is also very good. The place also has an awesome attached bakery. Lots of good sweet breads. read more

We went there for flan. It wasn't bad as much as bland, tasteless, boring. What they actually make in house looks good. The flan I suspect is from some food service company. read more

So I went to Mi Tradición for the first time a few days ago. My taco obsessed friend took me to get me some birthday tacos. Who wants birthday cake when you can get birthday tacos, I mean really?!?! It was so good, we went back again today to get more food. 2x in a week and you know you are hooked. This is a hole in the wall sort of joint. It's not fancy but it's darn good for sure. After these first 2 visits, I'm already planning my next 1786715358 trips to get more food! Here's the highlights: -The entire menu looks delicious. On my first visits, I tried the Bistek and Pastor tacos, Cubano torta, as well as a kid's plain quesadilla, a chicken quesadilla, and fries. There were about 15 other things that looked and sounded great and I will try on future visits. -The food was authentic and so flavor packed. Everything was delicious but the Pastor tacos were the hands down winner of the day. They serve them a bit different here since they add pineapple to the top. It sounds weird, but it works so well. It's one of the best tacos I've ever had. So many layers of flavors that develop and bloom in your mouth as you eat these tacos. We actually ordered 2 more servings of these tacos because 3 were not enough for us! -Not in the mood for tacos, get the Cubano Torta then. It was so delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly, the bread was soft and flakey, and the sauce was dynamite. It's also huge. We ordered one and split it between 3 of us since we also ordered a ton of tacos. It was easily 6 inches long and 3-4 inches across. -The little tubs of hot sauce are amazing. Both are delicious but the red one created a party in my mouth. It was so good and I put it on everything I had on my visit and might have stolen all of my friend's red sauce as well when he wasn't looking. -They have picture menus and actual plates on display around. Not everyone knows what every dish is called, but when you see a picture or an example on display, it makes ordering what you want a lot easier. I think it also prompts you to try new things that just look awesome. Yay for going outside your food bubble and trying new things! -There's a kid's menu for when Mommy wants legit tacos but the kid will only eat chicken tenders. Mommies and Daddies, do you feel me on this one? Well my picky eater, as well as 2 even pickier eaters were along on this taco adventure. All 3 loved their food and were happy with it. The kid's menu here has plain cheese quesadillas, burgers, and chicken tenders. All come with fries that are really, really, like REALLY good. -There's also a bakery on one side. I didn't get to try anything yet, but everything looked great. I saw lots of pan dulce, tres leches, and lots of other beautiful looking goodies. Ip This is a legit Mexican food place. If you like real Mexican, get over here now! read more

This place absolutely rocks. I've been on the hunt for an authentic, excellent Torta joint in Austin for quite a while now, but have been burnt quite a few times now. Chuy's is like a bakery with a deli attached, but with a hispanic twist. Its likely you won't have a bloody clue as to what you're picking up at the bakery seeing that nothing is labeled, but about 90% of items I've blind picked have been absolutely delicious. That mystery empanada I picked up out of whim? Filled with delicious gooey pineapple! What about that odd spongey cake that looked funny? Strawberry filling! The items are so cheap that I really don't mind playing Chuy's russian roulette. I also really loved their Bolillo bread, which made for some amazing sandwiches back home. If all else fails, ask someone else in there..People with a better understanding of the massive selection of baked goods at Chuy's really gave me a hand when I was stumped. Now for the star of the show: THE TORTA. An unholy amalgamation of every meat imaginable into one epic, hangover smiting sandwich. Hotdog, breaded fried chicken, ham, avocado and cheese? I was miserable that Sunday until I was seduced by the Torta Diabla, who rid me of that terrible headache induced from a long night downtown. Absolutely delicious. The only thing I've had which I didn't care for was the mushroom quesadilla, which came in a black tortilla and was smothered in cream and cotija..Not exactly what I expected. That aside, Chuy's is amazing and there's always something new to try every time. Would definitely recommend it. read more

Torta diabla (steak, egg, cheese, jalapeño, avocado and chorizo) was AMAZING! I recommended trying it. The steak is so thin and the entire torta just tasted so delicious. It had some spiciness to it which was exactly what I wanted. Try it and you won't regret it. They also have a bakery if you want some dessert after. read more

I've enjoyed their breakfast tacos & love the bakery! The bakery selection varies, but the chocolate coconut swirls are the best!

I had flan and it was dry for me. It was missing the cajeta for me. Not what i expected. Bread was good and horchata was good. Other than that it was okay overall read more

This is some of the best Mexican food in Austin. Casual dining with an extensive authentic menu. The incredible submarino is pastor, chorizo and ham. The flautas are stuffed with white meat chicken. The chicken tinga tacos have a fragrant delicious tinga sauce more flavorful than most. All of these are served with fresh made tortillas. These tortillas don't come out of a bag! They're all fresh made. Top the meal off with fresh horchata or watermelon juice. Don't forget to visit the attached bakery for dessert! read more

I was so exited to try this place because based on the reviews the food was A1 ... I ordered a torta de al pastor and a quesadilla.. they were alright . The muchachas had the worst service they were rude both in the panadería side and in the restaurant side. When ordering my food the lady didn't make eye contact not once and when getting my food I asked for a second plate and the worker got irritated. Definitely not going back ... ever . read more

So many yummy pastries to pick from the bakery side and then fabulous food on the restaurant side. Loved that you could see them cooking your lunch and watch them prepare the bakery side. Daughter had brisket tacos which she said were delicious, I had the pork and they had fresh pineapple in the tacos which were divine! Excited to go back! read more

Fantastic authentic Mexican bakery with reasonable prices. Everything delicious! Highly recommend! Everyone in Austin - or visiting on their way to Dallas or San Antonio should stop by for a treat! They will enjoy the cookies, donuts, concha's, etc.! Great place to stop on your way to a concert, little league game - or any other event in the Austin area if you have a car! Also Great place for all the out of towners with a set of wheels (car) visiting from places as far as NY, CA, Australia or Europe to stop by and try. You will not be disappointed if you have a spirit of adventure and want to experience authentic Mexican culture through sugar!!! read more

Growing up in Mexico and in the Texan border, I can guarantee that this bakery is one of the few in Austin that has authentic "pan dulce" with a wide selection to choose from. The establishment is parted in that half of it has a bakery for take out orders, and the other half has seats to enjoy your meal. In addition to the baked goods, Mi Tradicion sells Mexican culinary delicacies in the style of "street food" which even my (very traditionally Mexican) elderly Aunt approved of. I recommend the following: (Bakery) Empanadas de Cajeta, Churros, and Volovanes. :) (Restaurant) All of the quesadillas, Tlacoyos - the breakfast tacos and tortas are to die for! read more

I went on a Saturday around 1pm. Ordered the milanesa torta, a coffee, and a topo chico. The torta was huge. I ate half there and saved half for later. The steak was cooked perfectly and crispy on the outside. The torta had beans, lettuce, onion, jalapeño, tomato, avocado and spicy mayonnaise. I requested the verde sauce. I recommend getting the verde sauce with everything it was awesome! The jalapeños seemed like they might have been pickled and they were halves not slices. I will request extra jalapeños next time! read more

Is there such a thing as an affordable taco in Austin? Does Big Foot exist? What is a true myth? Okay, you can find cheap tasty tacos here, real agua frescas, and practice your Spanish. read more

One of the most authentic Mexican food restaurants in Austin. I love the quesadillas with blue corn masa.

Because everyone needs to have a local Mexican bakery that also doubles as a restaurant! Come here for super fresh pastries in the morning or empanadas to snack on throughout the day. I'd say the pastries and buns tend to be on the drier side of a pastry, but they are all extra large. Palmiers cover two palms. Buns look like they fit other buns inside. Horchata comes by the LITER!!!! (And it's good, creamy, not-too-sweet horchata too!) So you should definitely stop by. read more

Such amazing bakery with the freshest Mexican pastries in town. Grab a tray, load it up with fresh baked goods and enjoy! Love this place

Our first time here and it was awesome! It's a bakery on one side and a counter service restaurant on the other. We are total newbies and speak no Spanish and we were welcomed and the cashier was helpful and courteous. The food was delicious and very fresh. I had the quesadilla tinga (fresh tortilla and shredded chicken) and my spouse had chorizo torta (sandwich on freshly baked bread, lettuce and chipotle mayo). Horchata was sweet and a perfect counterpart to the spicy tinga. Kiddo had quesadilla and fries. We stepped over to the bakery, because there's no person on the planet who could have resisted that perfume of sugar and baked amazing... and guess what. Every single thing we got was buttery and so yummy. Our churros were even warm. So so delicious!!! read more

Look I've come here as a little kid since it has opened. Recently I went independently went for some badass actual Al pastor tacos con pina ( Fucking Killer food). While there got me refreshing horchata and some vey tradicional pan dulce. Look my family buy pan dulce only certain places and this has been our top favorite it's just far from us, but we cherish the taste from this place. Also, sat at the window because I like seeing how food is made, Home made Tortillas on la comal, yum read more

If you want fresh, authentic pastries that take you back to Mexico, this is it! Delicious pan dulce, cakes, galletas made from scratch. It's easy to figure out how things flow once inside, but don't expect to hear English. It's a beautiful cultural experience inside this gem. All you need upon leaving is a cup of coffee to dunk the delicious goodness from this bakery. read more

Hidden away in a strip mall, but a true gem. The mushroom huarache was cheap, fast, and delicious. All the pastries, from the marranitos to the chewy coconut cakes, were delectible. There was plenty of free tables and free parking even on Memorial Day. What makes this place really special is that the servers were all so forgiving of my horrible Spanish. I felt really guilty that I couldn't understand all the signage, but the workers were all understanding. I appreciate how kind they were. read more

Amazing authentic Mexican bakery! My husband and I went to town picking out a variety of baked treats. You get a tray and tongs and then head over to the cashier's counter. Everything was wonderful. We can't wait to try the restaurant counter that seems to have great options, such as breakfast tacos, platters, and tortas. Everyone is very friendly and prices are extremely reasonable. read more

You guys have to see the inside of this place! I love the open kitchen to see the bakers doing their thing. There's a huge display of cakes including flan and tres leches followed by an even larger display case of traditional pan dulces/Mexican bakery. The continuous flow of people coming in the door made me know it was a popular spot. The only reason I'm giving it four instead of five stars is I've had better tres leches but theirs is still good! read more

Mi Tradición - Flan, Carmel tres leches, strawberry tres leches - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Best tres leches in Austin. There can be a bit of a language barrier, but we managed just fine.

I wish I could put in words the amazing smells that hit your nose the second you walk in. Pan dulce selection is top notch. Soooo many options! Love the staff too. It's like I'm interacting with my Abuelas/Tias. From the bakery I purchased (on 3/12/19) a churro, chocolate cake triangle piece, bolillos and a croissant. All great tasting. Toasted a bolillo this AM for breakfast and it was still hella fresh tasting. From the kitchen I ordered the tostadas al pastor and agua fresca de jamaica (hibiscus). If you're looking for handmade tortillas, authentic and flavorful food, you NEED to come here. 10/10 would recommend. Bring ya momma, bring ya daddy, bring ya wifey/hubby and ya kids. Bring the whole family. read more

We went here on a Saturday afternoon and it was crowded. All the menus are located by the register. The ladies working there were friendly and accommodating. I had their steak tacos which were small but surprisingly filling. I recommend adding guacamole and lettuce to it. They have a bakery as well which has pretty cheap pricing. I had a concha and vanilla churro. The vanilla churro was delicious and the concha was alright, it would have tasted better if it was freshly made. There is a decent amount of seating but it's best to eat there if you have smaller groups of 3-4 people. read more

A very limited choice of bread that doesn't satisfy the itch I have. Unfortunately, Houston's el bolillo bakery is, well, in Houston and they don't have one in austin. read more

The food is authentic and yummy! When my mom visits she always makes me take her to get tlacoyos and tortas. I have no complaints about the food but the dining area needs some serious cleaning. It makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like as far as cleanliness because not only do they need to clean quicker after someone leaves for the next person, but the walls look dirty, the ceilings are dusty, it just doesn't smell great either. Also, whenever we eat they give us our order as it comes out so my food I guess is easier and comes out faster meanwhile everyone is watching me eat for a long time until their food comes out. Wired way to serve an order. read more

Great little bakery that serves some of the best tacos in town. Kind of a hidden gem for their ta os and hot plates from the kitchen for dining in. read more

Definitely a hidden little gem. They have all sorts of different pancitos the brought me back to my childhood. If you're also hungry you can just walk to the other side and order a bomb tortas and agua frescas. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

I went in here armed with Yelp knowledge. When I found out we were having a Cinco de Mayo potluck at work, I came up with the brilliant plan to bring in some Churros. I've never had a churro but had a vague idea of what they were and this seemed like the perfect occasion to try them. Ater doing a little Yelpsearch I discovered this place was on my way to work. Perfecto! I walked in confidently, knowing that I was to grab a silver tray and tongs and just help myself....and there they were! The tray and tongs off to the left. Now. Just browse thru the multitude of pastries.....umm...err...and this is what I saw: wrechklhdsalfulkfflkhalfhdlo jdlkjeolliu empanadas uellzjpudfjeluoljso jgnneoccuojlasjiojo churros jeljoeijnalndfojo thingamajigio con jambon y queso ejowurlejljdfourros etc Obviously my Yelp knowledge fell desperately short of a full immersion Spanish language tutorial. It might as well have been in Dothraki. So, I just first grabbed about 10 churros and then some empanadas, and the thing with ham and cheese and a couple of other interesting looking pastries. All of this seemed to weigh 5 lbs as I sheepishly handed the tray to the cashier. $12.50!! That cost less than trying to make guacamole (avocados ain't cheap!)! After smelling the mouth watering aroma of El Regio's grilling chicken from across the street as I walked to my car (I actually drove out with the windows down to experience that longer), I decided to sample on my way to work. Lemme just warn you something. The ham and cheese pastry thingiemajigio was so flakey, I will be finding crumbs in my console 3 years from now. Oh, and it wasn't ham and cheese. It was shredded spicy chicken. Still delish but verrry bready. Not enough filling for me, regardless of what the filling was. Alot of the racks, I was finding out, were mis-labelled. Next warning: Do not sneak a churro if you are wearing all black. I walked into work lookin like I'd been fairy dusted at Carnaval. The Churro that I took a bite of had the dulce de leche filling, but later on I found some that had more of a vanilla cream filling. I definitely prefer my churros with cream filling, no surprise. Again, there was no labelling on the racks so no way of knowing which churro is which. All I can attest to, is the churros were quickly consumed (we cut them into quarters so easy to grab and to tell which filling was inside) but some of the other pastries were left over. Apparently I'm not the only Spanish pastry novice. I have been trying for years to get my job to pay for a medical Spanish course. Maybe I shoulda been pushin for Spanish Bakery Espanol instead. I will be back to try the tacos or tortas....OR! another brilliant idea: Pollo Regio chicken and Chuy pastries...the perfecto combo! read more

So so so happy we went to this place!!! Very simple establishment. We had tortas and pastor tacos. The tortas were great...the bread was heavenly thin and crispy outside and soft and chewy inside. The star though was the pastor tacos!!!!! I could eat them all day everyday!! If you go do yourself a favor and get them!!!! Wow!!!! The only thing I didn't really love was the horchata. It tasted a little powdery. read more

I've begun to think in reviews. The minute I sample a new pizza, get my choppers looked at by a doctor or get a new haircut, I start writing that review in my head. So this morning, when i bit into a kolache from Chuy Bakery, this review was born: I'm going to make a bold claim: Chuy's bakery has the best kolaches in the city. And maybe the best kolaches I've ever had. It's true. I've had varieties of the famed kolach in Texas but I'm always dissatisfied. Why are they so small? Isn't there supposed to be a sausage in here? Some cheese? They're two bites and usually dry. This kolache is big and bold and spicy and has a sausage the size of about 3/4 of a hot dog with gooey cheese and jalapeno bits in it. Heat it up a little and then just close your eyes and enjoy every highly caloric bite. And since you've ruined your diet anyway, grab a churro for later. read more
