I've been on a hunt for a great taco spot, and I think I finally found it…read more It wasn't busy when we got there, and our food came out pretty quickly. I ordered an al pastor, lengua, and asada taco, and honestly, they were all so good. The asada was my favorite, but the other two were right behind it. The meat was flavorful, and the salsas had some heat to them, which I appreciated!!! My boyfriend ordered the chicken burrito, and it was just okay. The chicken was shredded and could've used a little more seasoning for my taste. I'm also not a huge fan of lettuce in a burrito, so that may have played a part in it not being my favorite. That being said, I'm definitely coming back because those tacos were SO good. Next time, I want to give the burrito another shot and order it my way. If it's anything like the tacos, I have a feeling it'll be a winner.

Lives up to the hype. Here's the thing--You may end up waiting quite some time for your food…read more However, if you give yourself the time to wait, you will not be disappointed. I had the Migas taco and the La Reyna taco. Both were excellent. I loved the veggies combination on the La Reyna taco. I would want to stop in and eat these every week if I lived in Austin. And the hot sauce was on point, both the green and the red. My husband had the Grilled Fish taco and the Grilled Steak taco. He couldn't decide which he liked better, but mentioned that the steak itself had amazing flavor. Do yourself a favor: free up two hours on your day off; order some tacos; order a Desnudo coffee or matcha or hibiscus tea and enjoy the tree-shaded outdoor dining area while you wait for some truly outstanding tacos.

The shrimp is sautéed in this extremely flavorful and spicy chili paste and it is an explosion of flavor in your mouth. The fish taco is also absolutely amazing. For the vegetarians, their cauliflower taco is great. And for the meat lovers, they're steak and Barbacoa taco is off the charts. Their beverages and juices freshly made in house are also always hit. Hard to find such fresh juices at that price point anymore.

We just touched down and needed to pick a spot to eat and we landed on velvet taco! The vibe is…read morecool and eclectic, and even at that evening hour they had a nice crowd. The staff were kind and friendly too! I got the special of the week--a gyro taco-- and the fish n chips taco with a side of queso. He got the gyro taco as well and corn elote. The gyro taco was our absolute fave! The queso was so gooey and delicious, and the corn elote was everything too even though it wasn't on the cob. They have tacos, bowls, nachos... a really versatile menu suitable for any hungry person! They also have this velvet cake that I plan to get during my next visit--yes, we will be back!

Right next to Punch Bowl Social, good spot for a meal or snack. There is a good amount of seating,…read morebut the tables are pretty close together. Some tables could use a cleaning in between guests, but it was fairly clean. You order your food at the counter and they call you when it is ready. I ordered the grilled steak taco, rotisserie chicken taco and special taco of the week (pork dumpling smash taco). We also ordered the elote and queso to share. The elote was good, but very creamy and a bit heavy. The queso was good but tbh I prefer Torchy's. The grilled steak taco was a bit underwhelming, I wanted it to have more flavor, it just tasted like beef and cheese. The chicken had good flavor and the special weekly taco was enjoyable and interesting, not like any taco I have had before. There is plenty of variety for people including those with dietary restrictions. My friends ordered two tacos each and I was full after 3 tacos so if you are not a big eater stick with two.

Visiting Austin for the July 4th weekend and tried Cuantos for the first time -- absolutely legit,…read morehigh quality tacos that support their Michelin rating. We went with their 1 of each taco set that included succulent meats (brisket, chorizo, beef cheek, pork stomach, carnitas, and mushrooms) and topped with classic chopped onions and cilantro, with limes and red and green salsas on the side. We loved each of them and the two salsas were highly complimentary. We washed them all down with cold bottled Coke. A terrific experience that I plan to get back to as soon as I can -- so what are you waiting for? :-)

My first time ever trying Michelin star tacos!…read more Suedero tacos and they were amazing! Juicy, tender, and with a squeeze of lime and salsa (red plus green) it was perfect! Like your girl can eat tacos but I had never been one to be like let's go get some cause I am craving them. But man cuantos tacos can definitely get me saying I want and crave them! I thought prices were pretty fair at 2.75 a piece. After much researchon what to eat in Austin this is one of the spots that I saved as a bookmark.While I was in Austin, a foodie friend on Instagram shared with me her list of recommendations since she just moved to Austin not too long ago. I knew that Ihad to stop by Cuantos Tacos, I mean how often do you see a Michelin BibGourmand taco truck. We came here for dinner but it was cold, sprinkling, anddark out. Tables they had were wet from the sprinkle.  My family only triedthe suadero taco ($2.75 per taco) but OMG it was the best thing we ate duringour trip in Austin. It was super memorable, the meat was soft and the salsaadded the perfect kick to it. It's been a month, my husband and I are still daydreamingabout these tacos.  Tacos are madepretty fast, we had to order tacos 3x since they were so good, we kept wantingmore. Wait time was super reasonable. Staff are nice and if I lived closer Ican see myself coming here every taco Tuesday! This definitely is a must go tospot if you like tacos.   Tips: *Small parking lot *Outdoor seating only *Credit card accepted *Porta Potty in theback (night time it is pretty dark and hard to see) *They cater. *You can also orderonline for pick up. Tips: Credit card and cash accepted. Outdoor seating option only. Restroom is port a potties. Located in an area with other food trucks.

After a few drinks at Cockfight Bar around the corner, we stopped by for a late-night bite before…read morecalling it a night--and I'm so glad we did. These are honestly some of the best tacos I've had in Austin! The pastor was cooked perfectly: flavorful, slightly crispy around the edges, and packed with plenty of meat, all wrapped in a delicious handmade tortilla. Every bite was so good that I immediately wanted more. I also ordered a quesadilla, which was perfectly cheesy and just the right size to satisfy without feeling too heavy. Honestly, if I had more room, I would have ordered enough tacos to last me the whole next day! I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Austin. This spot is a must-try for anyone craving amazing tacos.

The tacos are delicious here. Idk why they named it OneTaco, because I could have had a few more,…read moreif I wasn't on an actual food tour! Our walking food tour took us here as one of the many stops. We had the, "Gringa", which hilariously was named after a couple white girls who asked for flour tortillas for their tacos. At least that was the story I was told. They had a self serve sauce/salsa bar marked with different spice levels but honestly nothing was actually too spicy lol. Then again I'm one that can handle actual spicy Asian food iykyk

I got the grilled fish taco and doña Reyna taco - the portion is very good! It's freshly made so do expect to wait 15-20 mins but it's very worth it! The grilled fish taco comes with a big piece of avocado and the doña Reyna taco has a good amount of chicken and the sauce is very flavorful! They'll ask for a phone number at the register and they'll call your name / text you when your order is ready. They have a great indoor and outdoor dining area!

I had so many food targets to hit in Austin and this one didn't make my priority list for lunch/…read moredinner but I ended up coming here for a breakfast taco and really liked it! It's a small chain in Austin that started from a food truck of two women from Veracruz. Interestingly enough, the cashew based queso here is the default so people with nut allergies- watch out! I was told it was not made in house by the restaurant and I ended up not trying it. I ended up getting the El Diferente taco, while the women at the counter recommended the Furioso. I chose it because I preferred pinto beans to black beans. I added thier salsas that were creamy and it was delish with poblanos in it. The tacos sounded really simple to me from the descriptions but I ended up really enjoying the one I had for breakfast! My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Solid taco spot / bar!!!…read more Was visiting Austin Downtown with some coworkers and we were craving Mexican food, but also wanted to get a drink. This place had the best of both worlds!! I had the guava margarita - refreshing and yum - as well as the quesadilla (brisket) and chicken taco. Both were devoured. delicious. no notes. I would say the only thing that is keeping my rating in the 4.5 range is the smaller menu, some things were sold out, and got a little bad vibe from one of the workers when picking up my food. Other than that, food was solid. Outdoor area was nice. Would come back again!

We love torchys but why oh why does it take so long to get two predetermined tacos? But yeah the food was delicious. The rest of the customer experience was not. ETA: while I appreciate the response the link isnt clickable nor can you copypaste for some reason. I see a lot of reviews saying the service is slow so I feel like even if my complaint was seen by whomever that link is meant for isnt paying attention because the service there is and always has been slow. I think Torchys knows they have good food and that people like us will come back no matter how shitty the service is so they arent motivated to fix what seems to be a systemic problem. But thanks for the response.
