    Potato and egg with cheese, and papa a la mexicana
    Anjoli F.

    Really great spot! Tacos were yummy, staff was very friendly and accommodating with my broken Spanish! I got two breakfast tacos: potato and egg with cheese on flour, and a papa a la Mexicana on corn with the salsa verde. Both tacos were yummy and extra points for HANDMADE CORN TORTILLAS!! It looked like they used Mozzarella for the cheese instead of cheddar but I could be wrong? Maybe it was monterrey jack... Definitely going back!

    Beef fajita burrito
    Alejandro G.

    First time trying this place. My son got the burrito and he loved it. We will be going back to try more items on their menu! The service was good and they were super fast

    Pollo asado

    Fast service, great prices and amazing food. We got the pollo asado and it was a great serving for the price. El pollo asado estaba riquísimo!

    Carne Asada Taco

    Husband went to pick up tacos for me and said they were so kind, and the tacos are amazing!!!

    Delicious Chicken Burrito
    Bill P.

    Just got to say it, this is the best burrito in Austin. We love a good burrito but nothing compares to the punch of flavor that Pollos brings you. The al pastor tacos were incredible and came with a blistered jalapeno. I ate up every last bite. My girlfriend got the burrito. Without us asking, an employee saw that her burrito was ripping and called us back over so they could rewrap it and cut it for us. That is the care that they have at this place in their customer service AND their quality of flavor.

    Pollo Tinga Sopes

    While the food was completely delicious, my Pollo Asado Burrito was filled with chicken bones creating a dangerous situation. When you eat a bone-in piece of chicken you're expecting to deal with bones. In a shredded chicken burrito? Never. 3 of the bones were massive (3") including an in-tact wishbone and a full breast bone. Another bone was shattered and a 4th smaller one(2") was present. It's a good thing I was eating slow and chewing carefully. I understand that mistakes happen, but you simply cannot be this careless. This sort of mistake could seriously hurt someone. As for the food, everything was delicious. The tinga sopes were our favorite, followed by the pastor tacos and then the pollo Asado Burrito. Despite the unexpected bones, the burrito had nice flavor and composition, though the chicken was a bit dry. The salsa had tons of flavor, but be warned they are on the spicy side. For us that's perfect. I really would like to give this place a higher rating but Im not sure I can until I confirm that I didn't eat a burrito bone that causes problems.

    The truck with the nicest people and positively amazing tacos inside
    Marquel N.

    We were looking for a great dog friendly spot to get a quick bite to eat before hitting the road again on our cross country journey. We needed gas AND food, so this little taco truck parked next to the Shell station was perfect. Not only did we get gas, we got some of the best tacos we've had in a long time. Everyone working here was super friendly. It is dog friendly-just eat on the patio area. We hung out while the chef made them to order. It was fresh and well worth the quick wait. My bf got the pollo taco, and a burrito. FYI-the burrito was massive, it's probably the size of a small child. He loved every bite of everything I got three al pastor tacos and they were divine. The green and red chili's were amazing too. Definitely a spot I wish we could go to again! Maybe if we ever end up in Austin again we will.

    Chicken fajita taco
    Braulio C.

    Guys I gotta say, I had to remember to stop eating 3/4 of the way in this taco just to say l to y'all.. BEST CHICKEN FAJITA TACOS in Austin right now. The tortillas are excellent and the green sauce SUPERB come on down and try them out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Also I've had the chicken fajita plate. WoW so good I can't give 'em more than 5 STARS

    Pambazo Pastor
    Bac N.

    Stopped by again for the Torta Pastor and I am completely blown away. The bun is fresh. The meat is tender and flavorful. There's a layer of fried queso which really set it off. The Verde Salsa had a nice kick but not too dominating. Do yourself a favor and check out this neighborhood GEM!

    al pastor carnitas fajitas de pollo
    Jiseok P.

    deicious and friendly. ordered carnitas, fajitas de pollo and al pastor - soft and crispy meat, lots of fresh herbs. corn tortillas were on the sweet side wrapping up the flavors nicely.

    Main menu

    This place is another great hole in the wall! We drive by this area all the time and didn't know it existed, but thanks to other Yelpers I got a chance to try it out. Every place offers their own version and flavor. We tried the carnitas burrito, pastor torta and beef fajitas platillos. Carnitas burrito - carnitas was crispy and tasted like bacon. Stuffed with rice, beans, a little cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Added avocado for $1 Pastor torta - Pastor was flavorful and moist. Filled with lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese and pickled jalapenos. We can't eat spicy, so picked out the jalepenos. Beef fajitas platillos - the meat texture was a bit tough, but flavorful. Comes with rice, beans and tortillas (hand made according to the sign). All items were delicious, but if I had to pick, I'd recommend the carnitas - mouth is salivating just thinking about it! We plan to go back to explore more of the menu. FYI: During the "lock down", they are open 7am-6:30pm. Also adding menu pics, so you can call ahead.

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!

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
