OneTaco is one of my favorite taco restaurants in Austin and just seeing it I had to stop. This was my first time at this location and the Mexican vibe here was strong. There is outdoor seating, a shrine for Austin FC, and apparel for sale. My normal OneTaco location is downtown but even in the suburbs you still need a code to use the restroom. I ordered the Bandera which contained grilled chicken, avocado, pico de Gallo, and wrapped in a fresh corn tortilla. The taco was freshly made and tasted just wonderful. The chicken had great flavor and the rest of the ingredients worked very well together. It was delicious. The kitchen is hidden here so not sure if they cut meat from a 'trompo', but they do have a drive-thru. read more

The food is average at best. The service is either rushed or very slow. This is a normal one taco location focused on the drive through experience. The menu does not seem to be updated when ordering. read more

I will never go back to this location. I went in on the verge of an IBS attack. I went back to the bathroom and it required a code. I asked if I could get the code and the extremely rude person said, no you have to order first. I explained it's an emergency and I'll order after and she refused. So I'm rushing to order, doing my best to not have an accident, and she's taking her sweet time. Once I've paid, she shouts out the code and throws away the receipt. I finally get to the bathroom (emergency averted). Then, they just sit my food on the counter and don't tell me it's ready. I look over wondering where my food is from my table and it's just sitting on the counter while the staff sat to the side playing on their phones. Do better! read more

Grabbed myself a breakfast taco and despite being very delicious it was incredibly small. The service was very quick and I would probably return if I was in the neighborhood. read more

Fiest time here. Ordered via Drive thru, super fast and friendly! Horchata was delicious! I ordered 2 tacos, one beef and one chicken. Both were flavorful. I really liked the green and red hot sauce. I look forward to returning read more

Absolutely horrendous excuse for a taco spot, our 6 tacos were all cold and tasted like dog food. The staff was also so confused on how to take an order I'm surprised they got it right. Definitely go across the street to the other Mexican food spot read more

This establishment is clean and the workers are super nice. The reason jm giving them 2 stars only because we tried 6 tacos and one was dryer and colder than the one before. We ordered the following: Street asada taco - dry meat & cold Street polo taco - dry meat & cold Barbacoa - Dry meat & cold taco Norte taco - flavorless meat & cold Bandera - dry chicken & cold We have tried so many tacos spot and some have not been that great but this is by far the worse we have ever had. read more

my husband and I have been going to one taco for the past eight years. It's one of our favorite places. however, today our experience was different. They have changed some recipes. The carne asada and gringa have changed - not nearly as good - and the queso was terrible - I asked and they did change the recipe to the queso (assume all of it) and I just want to let ownership know that it is not good!!! read more

I've been to a few times to OneTaco @ Anderson Mill and enjoy the pastor tacos. I also like the quesadillas. They don't have eggs in the evening, apparently, which was a bit frustrating for some picky kids, but now I know. Still great tacos. read more

I love Onetaco and have tried multiple locations. This was my first time trying this one, could be a one-time thing.... But the tacos were bad. Meat seemed super dry and old. Wont likely be back here read more

Dishes I ordered were nut allergy friendly. Review is for order via Postmates when they had a buy one get one free on some specific tacos. Out of our order, I ate two Tacos Al Pastor, one Taco Pollo Asado, and one Agua Fresca Horchata. Service wise, they forgot our chips and queso from the delivery. The Tacos Al Pastor were dry, but the pineapple added good flavor and texture. I enjoyed these with the green sauce and lime. The Pollo Asado tasted like day old chicken - dry and flavorless. I wouldn't order it again. I had to put extra sauce on it to get any sort of flavor. The Horchata was quite sweet and a good way to clean my palette. Overall a mediocre taco experience that wasn't anything unique. I've gotten better and cheaper tacos from unnamed trucks. read more

I ordered 15 tacos. 5 Bacon egg and cheese, 5 chorizo egg and cheese, and 5 potato egg and cheese for the house. I loved them all. But preferred the chorizo taco. I LOVE the red sauce. The verde was okay. I love OneTaco. read more

I had a birria taco and a pastor quesadilla taco. The birria is dry and the lime they gave me was dry. The pastor doesn't even taste like pork. It tastes and looks like chicken. Not worth it. read more

TLDR: It's meh, pales in comparison to other outlets of this chain. I'm a OneTaco fan, and I love their other locations. This one, not so much. Which is surprising given that it's very clean, plenty of parking, lots of natural light coming in the windows, and a Mexican wrestling theme to boot! Tried two staples of this chain, the Taco Bandera and the Carne Asada. Both took a long time to come out (and we were literally the only people there) and both were underwhelming. The Bandera was bland, and the Carne Asada was lukewarm! How long did they let this sit out? Overall, it was kinda meh...not what I'm used to getting here. I might try it again sometime to see if this was a fluke, but again we were the only people there and the ladies behind the counter seemed more interested in whatever drama they were talking about than making food. This place scores a 2 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

Local taco cabana vibes. The nachos are the only thing worth getting. It's also a bit overpriced, for the portion size.

Forewarning, I am a bit of a taco snob. With that said my favorite part of the actual taco was the corn tortilla. One bite in & you almost instantly taste an unmistakable home made corn tortilla. The carne asada meat was okay but not memorable. The hottest salsa which was the lighter green taquero salsa was labeled "hot" but I'd say more on the mild side and was tasty. The restaurant itself was clean, lively with good Spanish music in the background, tables were spread out nicely, and lots of natural light coming in through all the windows. They had a good selection of Mexican beers and evidently margaritas as well. I think this is a proper taco restaurant to dine at and judge for yourself. read more

I love one taco and I am so excited that they've taken up residence in what used to be the Taco shack. Their service is always friendly and excellent, delicious tacos and sides. I saw people Dining inside and outdoors on the patio and they even have a drive through they're using which we love so much to get in and out! Can't wait to eat all the tacos in my neighborhood with them being around more often! Happy for their opening and presence and hope they enjoy their new start in Anderson Mill, since their Anderson lane and Research locations are solid. With covid, I'm so glad they are still growing in the middle of the pandemic and I know their presence here will stay strong. After all their taco game is the best, dare I say, even better than some near by competitors (cough, Torchy's, cough) :) read more

My first time trying One Taco won't be my last. My boyfriend and I ordered the I Bacon breakfast taco which had scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, cheese and more bacon. It comes on a flour tortilla or you can request a corn tortilla. We added beans to our tacos. It was a FAT taco full of yumminess! I hate skimpy breakfast tacos but don't order breakfast burritos because they are too much. After ONE bite, I was hooked. It tasted like the breakfast taco my Momma makes and she is an authentic Mexican pro! We asked for red and green salsa and both were good. We ordered at the drive through so no comment on the interior but the cashier at the window was helpful and gave us extra napkins and salsa without us having to ask. The times I do have to eat in my car, extra napkins are appreciated. Will definitely return to One Taco and order more than one taco! 4/11/2021 read more

The tacos are simple and outstanding. On the weekends you can get Barbacoa tacos which are perfect. The Buenos dia taco with chorizo, egg, cheese, and black bean is fantastic. Add a little avocado for a truly outstanding taco. The jefe taco is also perfect. The menu is only a few tacos but the quality and attention to detail is spot on. Prices are reasonable and the staff is super friendly and cool. read more

Just Say No! If there were "NO Stars" this place would get that. This is the 2nd time I've tried this place. I wanted a breakfast taco but instead ordered the Nachos, I did not see any BTacos. The lady asked us to let her know when we were ready to order and my husband kept saying "hello"? "hello? yeah it was so comical because it was ridiculous. NO customers were inside & we were the only ones in the drive-thru. Finally when she came on took the order we sat in front of her window for over 6 minutes, finally she opened her window & took the payment card and gave us our cold food & forgot the coke.? It was really weird. The attitude of this women when her food & service was below standards & totally sucks!!!??There are a lot of other Fast Food places around them that are friendlier and BETTER Food. My stomach hurts, I would like to throw up this food and start my lunch over. I couldn't eat much of the gauc. because it was already turned brown. You can see in the photo. read more

I used to really love One Taco. It's still good but it's gotten so expensive and the portions don't reflect the jump in price. Breakfast tacos are still affordable, but overall, they're too expensive for what you're getting. read more

I ordered food from here and was very disappointed. I don't give bad reviews often but this has to be said. The avocado on my taco was old and brown. The cheese quesadillas were salty, burnt cheese, greasy, and inedible. The plain chicken taco was just that...a plain chicken taco. It was ok. Honestly even Taco Bell is WAY better than this...that says a lot... The elote was actually good. The corn was roasted nicely and they put just enough cream and cheese. read more

Third and probably last time at this location. We really needed a new taco place on this street. I was so excited to see One Taco go in b/c the one on Anderson is great! The food is cold and I'm not talking about the aqua frescos. Cold tacos Cold queso I went home and put everything in the oven. Last time I went the eggs were cold. Nothing is worse than cold eggs except semi-raw cold eggs. I don't know. Maybe it was a fluke. Maybe 1 more time. The locations is perfect. Prices are great. The folks that work there are nice. But cold tacos. I'm not even sure the salsa is cold. I'll let ya know. They do have margaritas and cerveza here. I'm not sure about the temp on those but they are on the drive through menu. I didn't ask if you can get them to go but I think you can since the Gov. updated the rules. read more

The tacos are pretty authentic and had a good flavor, highly recommend the taquiza. The Mexican street corn is also pretty tasty although I was hoping it would be the authentic white corn. The Margarita had a generous amount of alcohol, more than I was expecting. Overall highly recommend, and I'm Mexican so I know what I'm taking about when it comes to these things. read more

Look, their breakfast tacos are great and are worth getting if you're up that early. However, this place is pretty pricey for what you get. The cup of street corn does come with grilled corn, but the flavor isn't really there. The aguas frescas taste like they're powdered and for a third the price, I can get 3x as much from the gas station down the street. The mini tacos need some love. They come on mini corn tortillas, but the meats aren't that great. I wish they'd put some char on the pastor and steak. Make sure to ask for extra salsa because they don't give you enough otherwise. They have a green and a red. The red is like a red chili sauce. I would definitely recommend getting the single tacos like the gringa or campechana. They grill the cheese and top your taco with it. The flour tortillas have a wonderful chew to them, but the corn were lifeless and falling apart most of the time. Overall, I would swing by here if it was breakfast time, but there are cheaper and tastier options around town for good tacos. read more

Decent food, BUT THE DRIVE TRU IS ONE OF THE WORST !!!! While waiting in line for about 20 minutes to just order my food, I had seed about 6 cars pull out of the line because it took forever. Once to the ordering speaker box I waited another 5 min for them to take the order and then another 10 to get my food at the window. I ASK YOU, ARE YOU OK WITH WAISTING 35 MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE IN A DRIVE TRU LINE FOR AVERAGE BREAKFAST TACOS ?????? read more

The food was really good. I recommend you guys try the chicken tacos with the chipotle salsa. The tacos de alpastor were really good as well. All you need is one taco and a agua de Jamaica. And you can get full. The service was good too, when I went it was not busy at all. It's a little pricy $$$ but definitely worth it. read more

Staff: 5 stars Staff members are very sweet, hospitable people. No complaints here. Food: 3 stars We ordered the horchata, carne asada, al pastor and de pollo asado. The meat was a little over cooked and dry for the tacos we ordered. Not the best tacos, but they're ok. The horchata slaps though it is a bit on the watery side, but that just might be me not know what horchata "should" taste like. Venue: 5 stars A humble abode. Clean, spacious, and well lit. Kind of a warehouse vibe. Drive through is tiny but it's fine. Would I come back? Maybe not- I think I prefer their other locations read more

I had a Migas breakfast taco here on 02/25/23 and I believe it was the worst I've had in years. No flavor at all. Nothing to it for nearly $5. A big waste of money. I will not be back. read more

Every taco I've had here is amazingly flavorful. I've been to a lot of taco places in Austin and this is one of my favorites. I love getting the pollo asado and carne asada. They're simply put together with fried cheese all packed in a homemade tortilla. I can't believe how people are rating this place so low and comparing it with Taco Bell!!! I would ignore those comments and and if you've never been to OneTaco go and try it yourself because you won't be disappointed. read more

Ordered a Jefe, an Al Pastor and a Gringo... Reasonable size. Really bland meat. Almost like they just color the protein and nothing else. The Jefe was interesting that it has fried egg and chopped steak. Again, not much taste. The salsa was just average.

Food was amazing! Employees were very friendly. Drive thru took longer than other places but well worth the wait!

Love one taco but this location has terrible customer service. Got to drive thru with no one in. Waited about two minutes no response. Turned my radio up so maybe they'd hear it. Said hello 3 times, finally some one says one moment please. Patiently waited.. took 5 more minutes before my order was taken. This isn't the first time ive had bad service here either. read more
