Finally had a chance to try this place with my family today and we really enjoyed our meal! We tried an insane amount of tacos, so here goes: 1. Taco Bueno - this was bomb. So good!! 2. Taco Azteca - this was also so tasty. 3. Migas Tacos - this was disappointing honestly so wouldn't order this again. 4. Al Pastor Tacos - there were delicious and flavorful 5. Pueblo Viejo Taco - so good! 6. Lamb Barbacoa - the meat itself was plentiful and very tender but the taco as a whole not as flavorful as I'd expect. 7. Taco Nes - the most disappointing of all of them even tho I was most excited about this reading the ingredients. The steak was so hard and chewy. :( Lastly, the salsas are all delicious. We did have to go up and ask for silverware & plates a couple times, along with more salsa. Not sure why they don't keep it out for people to grab themselves. Either way, can't wait to be back! read more

Riverside is home to multiple taquerias and restaurants that offer breakfast tacos. These are slightly above average taste and quality breakfast tacos when it comes to eating out. However, it must be inflation holding me back from rating higher...those eggs are definitely reflected in the price of $2.75 per taco. 5 breakfast tacos, 2 bottles waters and a 18% tip....came in around $28 . The attitude was also lacking and should've not left a tip. $14 for two people to dine in is a little steep. I'll stick with the taco trucks when I'm not cooking at home, and in the Austin area. read more

This hidden spot is a gem for great Mexican food. I will say this is the first Mexican restaurant I been to where I had to pay for chips and salsa. They open for dine in during this pandemic. They have only been around five months they said when I asked them, because I don't recall them being there before the pandemic. The food is made fresh and this is not a Tex-Mex restaurant either. They do have a mini bar and they have plenty of seating for everyone. Their lemonada was very fresh and delicious! Parking was a breeze and in the shopping center. read more

We came during Covid times. We were the only people on a Tuesday night at 8pm. The server / cashier was super friendly and helpful! We ordered 1 taco each and shared a guacamole side! The guacamole side comes with salsa and chips :) I asked for the creamy jalepeno salsa for my taco! IT'S A MUST HAVE!! Not too spicy and super creamy!! Giving this place a 5/5 because the place is extremely clean and the taco and guac was super tasty and flavorful! FRESH veggies and chips! Our tacos came out steaming hot! Will definitely come back! read more

My brother and I decided to get some lunch downtown on Easter Sunday and saw that this place was open! The interior is pretty cool with all the artwork on the ceiling. We both got the taco plates with al pastor and steak tacos. I would say it was pretty worth it for 2 tacos, chips, guac, rice, and beans for $12! My brother and I's favorites was the Al Pastor, so good and tasty. The flavor was lighter than other taco spots I've been to, but still pretty good! Also parking is super easy and plentiful with a big lot! read more

I was looking forward to eating here because of the reviews but I was sadly disappointed. They had a special that day where you can get 5 of their selected tacos for around $15. Based on the photo of the special, it looked like a big portion so I ordered the Al Pastor tacos. When the food came out, the tacos were as small as the pepper! The al pastor flavor was minimal and there was barely any toppings. When I eat my tacos, especially al pastor, I want it smothered in onions and cilantro (but that's just me)! Salsas were not provided or offered for the tacos. They also charge you for water which is ridiculous. Service was very lacking and the cashier was not so nice... Maybe I'll give this place another chance and try other dishes, but considering there are other cheaper and better quality tacos in Austin... it might be a hard pass. read more

A very good and quick Mexican food spot. They serve all sorts of margaritas, beers, and Mexican specialty drinks. Next time I come I'm ordering the hortchata and limeade for sure. I'm from San Antonio and trying to find a good taco spot in austin can be hard. This time my husband came in and ordered the beef taco plate, enchilada plate, a side of queso, and a Mexican coke. The queso and guacamole is very good!!The manager also brought out some chips and a side of creamy jalapeño salsa, which was amazing!! Everything was really good and we would come back again. Only complaint is that it's a little pricey but definitely worth it. Laid back and casual vibe which makes this an easy spot to come to anytime. read more

This was a very disappointing meal. The high stars gave me false hope while we were hanging out on Riverside. I'm not sure what Viejo style tacos means, but I guess it means texmex with no seasoning? There was an assortment of salsas, but none of them were good except the habanero one. The tomatillo was bloated which was a bad sign, and sure enough it tasted rotten when we tried it. There is no sign of limes in this restaurant. Neither the salsas nor tacos have lime. The tacos are that inflated hipster price of about $5 a taco, so I went with the taco plate with rice and beans. Both the rice and beans are very bland and could benefit from some salt. I chose the barbacoa tacos and while it was happily made with goat, it also had no flavor. The strange part about the tacos was mine came with cilantro and onion, but my friend's came with lettuce and tomato?? Service was friendly, but very very slow for only having 2 other tables. I also had to go back and ask for my horchata after my food had already arrived. I would not recommend this place unless you're just looking for some drinks in the area. read more

Food is ok... Enchiladas had a decent taste, but lacked savory side of things. Lamb Barbacoa had a good flavor. I'd recommend that. The Taco Nes was flavorful, but not the true steak I was hoping for. More chorizo than steak ratio. Flour tortillas taste store bought and not fresh or made fresh. They have a funny taste to them. Overall the rice and beans are very bland, as well as guacamole and other items. Definitely more of a CA-style Mexican restaurant. Not true Mexican authentic or Texas-style Mexican. If you like Chuy's or Baby A's - this is your speed. I won't be back. read more

Eh, nothing special. Was clean and welcoming, but food was blah! Got 2 chicken tacos on corn and a side of rice. All were dry and just very ordinary.. nothing extra, not even fresh lime, onions, cilantro, cheese... just dry seasoned chicken meat with sauted onions and poblanos (very few however). Hot sauce was okay, but everything tasted old. Rice was hard... not fluffy. Maybe it was because it was a Monday? Nah, that shouldn't matter. Definitely better places in town to get tacos! read more

The tacos are FUEGOOOO!!! The sides are meh (specifically the retried beans and rice) - I wouldn't bother getting them unless you just want to go for a plate meal. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and got the taco bueno, migas taco, rice, refried beans, and sandia agua frescas! The aguas fresca was super good and refreshing, so I would recommend it! The food came out hot, fresh, and quickly - and delicious!! My friend like their chicken and steak tacos. I love breakfast so I stuck to breakfast tacos which there were still serving on Sunday around 12:30pm. Atmosphere - very quaint with authentic Mexican decorations on the walls and ceilings. It was pretty quiet when we got there but it got a little busier after. You order at the counter then sit wherever and get a number so your food is brought to you. read more

Heard a lot about this place (though not necssarily this location) but very glad to start of the new year with some great mexican food. They got a large friendly service, good portion sizes. I tried the quesadilla taco with al pastor and a taco nes, and even in my cedar fever limited taste buds, I could still taste the delicious salty char of the meat. The quesadilla taco is a bit greasy for sure, but slather some of the spicy serrano salsa and you'll counter balance it fine. The al pastor is well seasoned and the little nibble of pineapple for some sweetness makes it a complete taco. The taco nes is a meatfest of sorts with lots of flavorful steak and chorizo - make sure you get it on corn! Your meal comes with chips and salsa too - crisp, thin topos with not too hot salsa. The rice that comes with the tacos is good too. On the slightly higher end for street tacos in Austin, but one that I'd gladly pay for to sit down and enjoy an authentic meal. read more

Absolutely the *BEST* tacos in town. For about 9 years, Pueblo Viejo has held strong as one of my favorite places to eat in Austin and I've followed them wherever they go. I could not be more excited that they opened a Brick and Mortar on Riverside. The owners are kind, extremely hard working have a very high standard for the food they serve. All of their locations are spot on and Riverside does not disappoint. Mother's Day brunch at the new spot exceeded my high expectations. The breakfast tacos were absolutely perfect and as usual, the service was great. I can't wait to go back! read more

I know what love is...and it's Pueblo Viejo's tacos. Luckily for me, many of the Austin-based taco chains opened up locations in Dallas...unluckily for me, Pueblo Viejo wasn't one of them. These tacos are f***ing fuego aye aye aye. It was pretty hard for me to choose from all their different tacos so I figured I would get the two that had their namesake in them: Taco Viejo & Pueblo Viejo Style specialty taco. One breakfast taco and one lunch taco essentially. The Taco Viejo was amazing! I loved everything about it - a massive amount of chorizo, potato and eggs scrambled together on top of a slab of beans. It was almost difficult to close up the taco to eat it because Pueblo Viejo does not skimp! Same with the Pueblo Viejo Style taco - soooo much goodness I was struggling to hold it all together. The steak in the Pueblo Viejo Style taco was cooked perfectly. Y'all...I'm originally from Dallas but I've been living in New England the past 2 years and we don't have any good, authentic tacos up there. When I hopped off the plane and the first thing I bit into were these tacos I almost teared up. read more

New Mexican restaurant offering the Riverside area something new and delicious. I had 2 tacos lamb barbacoa and their Pueblo taco. It came with rice and beans. I also had a horchata and some chips and salsa. The tacos were STUFFED and delicious, the lamb barbacoa was lamby in every way. The Pueblo taco was steak, cheese, onions, peppers and mushrooms covered in avocado slices and a sprinkle of lettuce and tomato. Both tacos were wrapped in their homemade corn and flour tortillas. They have a 8 different hot sauces from mild to HOT to make sure everyone can get the right amount of heat on your tacos. After you're done burning your face off. You get to cool off your tongue with some of the best horchata I've had. Honestly this was a great first time for me and will definitely be back. read more

Come here for the breakfast tacos. They make their tortillas fresh - both corn and flour. Everything comes out hot and it's a really big portion for the price. You can also pick from a bunch of homemade salsas, which all taste amazing. And you can decide based on spice level. My favorite is their migas taco. I recommend that you get it on corn (personal preference). They also serve really refreshing agua frescas that go great with the tacos! read more

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!

Best meal of the Austin trip: upscale tacos and housemade masa in a welcoming space…read more Food: 5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Waitress Kelly was wonderful and so professional. She noticed I was ordering dairy items on side and asked about if pesto in guacamole was ok. So astute and kind of her. Also on my friends second drink remembered she didn't want salt or her rim without even asking - Everything tasted so fresh and high quality - Brisket tacos: packed with flavor--maybe it was the wagyu meat or the black magic oil. Freshly made corn tortillas were awesome. Usually corn ones and pretty throwaway meh, but these added to the greatness of the tacos. 5 stars - Duck flautas: crispy covered in mild mole. Loved the mashed potato addition inside for some mellowness and texture. 5 stars - Guacamole: so fresh and that dollop of pesto on top was lovely. Served with crispy masa dippers were impressive almost a 8x11 page size. It was fun to crack off into pieces, but hard to stop eating it. 5 stars - Sweet potato: friend loved these long charred wedges. 4.5 stars - Cocktails were stellar. I got the Don Dario which was a play on a marg and delightful - $12 of a few drinks during lucky hour (Mon-Fri 5-6pm, Sat-Sun 3-5pm) - High energy vibes in a clean, open, tan colored space - Had their bottle water on the table in a champagne bottle which speaks to my heart Midlights: - In East Austin so have to Uber if you are staying more central - Tacos come in orders of 4. Wish it was less so we could've tried more variety. Lowlights - No food discounts for lucky hour - Didn't have time to try the choco taco which looked amaze - Large gap of time between items first few items coming out and the rest

Cool vibe

The hostess greeted us and sat us down and introduced us to Justin, our waiter, and this guy is AWESOME!! We got served chips & salsa but I had questions about the menu and Justin had answers. I ordered the Quesabirria Tacos and instead of rice/beans, I got it subbed for the Side Street Corn. The food was brought to us fairly quick and the tacos, my my my - it was soft, had flavor and had a light crunch to it. I thought it was different from other quesabirria tacos I've had in the past, but this was different and perfect. I will get this again for sure when we come back again and again and again Hahahaa!! =D The staff was wonderful and the overall experience was phenomenal. And with Justin, give him a PHAT BONUS!! He's a great asset to this establishment for sure!!!

There are some restaurants that need a review, and then there are restaurants like El Dorado, where…read morethe city has already rendered its verdict. At this point, El Dorado is an Austin favorite. People don't really debate whether it's good. They debate whether the wait is worth it, which is a very different conversation. So rather than adding another voice to the pile of praise, it seems more useful to talk about what people should actually expect when they go. First, yes, there may be a wait. This place is popular, and popular restaurants attract crowds. That's not a criticism; it's simply the reality. But it's also worth noting that many of the legendary wait times come from showing up exactly when everyone else does. If you can sneak in before or after the prime lunch and dinner rushes, the experience becomes much more manageable. Once you're seated, do yourself a favor and order the white queso. Better yet, if you're with family or friends, just get the sampler. It turns the beginning of the meal into an event rather than a formality. The white queso is every bit as good as people claim, but what surprised me even more was how seriously El Dorado takes its salsa. Most restaurants treat salsa as a free opening act before the main performance. Here, it feels like something carefully considered. Several varieties stood out, and more than one made me wonder why so many places settle for mediocre salsa when it can clearly be this good. As for the food itself, it's important to know what kind of restaurant you're walking into. If your idea of Austin Tex-Mex is fresh, light, bright, and vaguely health-conscious, you may need to adjust your expectations. El Dorado leans toward the heartier side of the spectrum. These are rich, deeply flavored dishes that feel rooted in tradition rather than trends. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and the meal has a certain gravitational pull to it. This is not food that politely taps you on the shoulder. It gives you a warm hug and then insists you have another bite. What impressed me most, oddly enough, were the beans and rice. Normally, they're supporting characters that exist simply because tradition demands they be present. At El Dorado, they seem to receive the same attention as everything else on the plate. It's a small detail, but great restaurants often reveal themselves through small details. The service deserves just as much praise as the food. During our visit, we interacted with several different staff members, and every one of them was friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant. There was none of the rushed indifference that sometimes sneaks into busy restaurants. Even better, management was actively moving through the dining room, checking on guests, talking with tables, and making sure people were enjoying themselves. It's the kind of thing that doesn't always get noticed when it's done well, but it absolutely contributes to why places like this develop loyal followings. The atmosphere itself is cheerful and comfortable. It's colorful without being flashy, lively without being chaotic. Nobody is going to leave talking about the interior design, but that's perfectly fine. The room accomplishes what it needs to accomplish: it feels welcoming and relaxed, allowing the food and the people to be the stars. As for negatives, there really aren't many. If you're looking for an elevated dining experience with dramatic plating, moody lighting, and a server who explains every ingredient as though introducing characters in a novel, this probably isn't your place. El Dorado seems far more interested in feeding people well than impressing them with presentation. And honestly, that's probably part of the reason Austin loves it so much. Go when you can avoid the biggest crowds. Order the queso. Explore the salsas. Don't overlook the beans and rice. Show up hungry. The food is hearty, the people are kind, and the restaurant knows exactly what it is. In a city where so many places are trying to become something, there's something refreshing about a place that already has.

El Dorado Cafe appears to be a beloved Austin staple as evidenced by the fact that everytime I've…read morementioned it in front of my friends, they yell "EL DORADO CAFE?! THAT PLACE IS THE BEST". Located off Mopac and Anderson in North Central Austin, this beloved tex-mex restaurant is situated in a relatively aged shopping strip less than half a mile from the highway. Parking is ample and available so there should be no issues with access getting to the restaurant. Although easy to get to, it's a whole different story getting into the restaurant. First and foremost, they are closed on Sundays and Mondays. Secondly, they are so popular that you should almost always expect a wait. The pro move here is to book a reservation, but if you don't have one - anticipate waiting anywhere between 30 - 90 minutes in order to get in. Once in, you have the option to pick from a variety of tex-mex cuisine, including some local house specials such as the "crunchwrap supreme" which has an interesting backlore related to Taco Bell. Free chips and salsa (choose up to two salsas to try) land as soon as you arrive. El Dorado is known for its vegan tex-mex offerings so those with more particular diets will certainly be able to find something that works. The salsas are tasty. The serving portions are large. The flavors are good - there's really not too much to complain about once you're in and seated.

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!
