    Quesadilla Taco w/ Chicken
    Erica D.

    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!

    Breakfast tacos

    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.

    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.

    Cute ambiance!

    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!

    Cool art on ceiling!

    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!

    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.

    Al pastor and taco nes with lemonade margarita.

    Amazing tacos and drinks! Highly recommend!! Portions are good in size and hot sauces are on par. The lemonade margarita is out of this world. Definitely a must!!!

    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.

    Excellent tacos and great serving size, it's so nice to see street tacos in a decent size. I had the asada and the al pastor and to my surprise the asada was my favorite it was super tasty.

    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.

    From Food Truck to Resturant! Pueblo Viejo did it again. This location opened up perfectly. The food still tastes great. It was nice to enjoy these tacos indoors. The decor is exactly what I would imagine a Pueblo Viejo dedicated Resturant would look like. Overall, excellent. Still my favorite tacos in Austin. Nice job. Recommendations: - Don Chago - Chips and Salsa - Guac - Taco Nes - Quesadilla Taco

    Steak Taco, Chicken Taco, and 2 Al Pastor Tacos

    The Steak, Chicken, and Al Pastor Tacos were soooo good. They gave us a sample of the Trompo style tacos while we were waiting and just as good! Can't wait to come back to try the ceviche and fish tacos next!

I ordered the migas, and the amount of onions in the dish was overwhelming--so much so that it felt like I had ordered a plate of onions rather than migas. The masa cakes were definitely the standout item and were absolutely delicious. However, the rest of the dish fell short. The sauce was extremely rich, making it difficult to enjoy or finish the meal. That said, the restaurant itself is adorable, and our waiter was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were both great. While this breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I'll still return and stick with favorites like the fried green tomatoes and taquito salad, which were excellent during my previous visit.

Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

You have to scan a QR code upon arrival to get in line, thought that was weird that the host didn't just add you to the list- anywho. The wait was about 15 min , we walked out to the patio and discovered lots of neat plants, and the mimosa bar. Patio was covered for the most part with ac units and fans to cool you off. We were sat inside. Our waitress was a older pescatarian lady which was cool since i'm pescatarian too. She provided great suggestions and was very personable. We ordered the prima dora omelet which would have used more filling but it was over all good, the black beans we ordered in the side , we possible the best black beans i've had. We also ordered a veggie benidict off the seasonal menu. The hollandaise sauce was a bit bland but I used the yellow bird habenero salsa and it kicked up the flavor profile- Overall we really enjoyed the food, service & vibes!

It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method.
