So we have ordered from Postmates here 3x. The first two times I ordered no egg tacos and they gave us all egg tacos so my boyfriend ate my tacos. We ordered a third time and they finally looked at the notes or something and I didn't get egg. The tortilla was good and homemade but the taco itself was pretty bland. I added a ton of salsa verde which added spice but not a ton of flavor. My boyfriend really likes this place, but I am not a big fan read more

ONE OF MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST TACO PLACE! I have been to over 30 taco restaurants and Taco Joint remains one of my top 3 favorite places to get breakfast tacos. The price is reasonable, flavor is tasty, portion size is great, and the sauces are so good! I have tried many of the breakfast and lunch tacos, but I like the migas and barbacoa tacos the most. read more

Delicious Tacos! My boyfriend lives across the street and keeps raving about the tacos. Two Sundays ago we had a packed day and decided to get lunch at Taco joint. We both got 3 Tacos. I always love my Breakfast Tacos so I decided to get a Potato, Egg, and Cheese along with my favorite Al Pastor and Chicken Mole Taco. First off they WIN for their Amazing...AMAZING Salsa Bar. I applaud you. Secondly, their Tacos are packed. I loved my Breakfast Taco. Chicken Mole was packed with Flavor. I was very disappointed with the Al Pastor. It tasted old. I was very sad. A week later I was working a double and my amazing boyfriend asked if he could bring me Tacos 25 minutes away. He got me a Potato, Egg, and Cheese. And Bacon, Eggz and Cheese with Avocado. Ahhhmazing! I'll definitely keep going back. I'm seriously in love with their Breakfast Tacos! read more

Speed: fast as long as there isn't an insane line. This can definitely happen on nice weekend days so watch out for that Food: reallly good and lots of unique tacos. Not my favorite spots in Austin but definitely still good and will be back with friends. Sauces: superb. Almost all of them are spicy though so watch out. Interestingly enough, the sweet habanero one is one of the less spicy sauces Dining area: mostly outdoors with a few indoor tables. Indoors tends to get really crowded and loud so I highly recommend sitting outside Parking: not a problem unless you come during one of those nice summer weekends where it'll get packed read more

Y'all have to check this place out for some delicious tacos on a budget (esp dining in Austin). We were visiting and wanted some tacos and saw great reviews for this place and now I know why! The cashier was very nice and made some recommendations. We tried the shrimp tacos off the "secret goodies menu", barbacoa, pastorito, fried fish, and a chicken quesadilla for my toddler. Wow, the shrimp taco was my fave! It's a little saucy with peppers and onions and just plain delightful. The barbacoa was super tender and it was my husbands fave. All of their salsas were good but the medium and habanero was our fave. Chicken quesadilla was made with marinated chicken thighs and my toddler devoured the whole thing. We're totally coming back next time we're in town! read more

These tacos are monsters! Seriously, they don't hold back on the fillings at all, and even though it's a single tortilla they don't fall apart (big plus!) I got three tacos and a side of potatoes. First, the potatoes are pure perfection. Pro tip: 1. get their chipotle sauce, 2. profit ;) Second, the tacos portions are big. It's almost like a medium-sized burrito, and they put a lot of protein in them. I got the following: 1. Wholly molé - pulled chicken in mole sauce. Definitely the best one out of the three. 2. Fish taco (seared) - they put half a seared fish fillet inside, however, you might need to add some of their sauces for a little more "umpf" factor. 3. The Street Taco - definitely the underperforming one of the bunch. The flavor was there, however, the grilled sirloin was too chewy and not tender at all. I had to spit out a couple of the chunks because they were unchewable :( read more

Fast and fresh! The line around the building on a Sunday AM is the first good sign. Trouble deciding? Migas and street taco were absolutely phenomenal- probably group top favorites. So much goodness packed in a tortilla. That green salsa brings the heat and had ALL the flavor! No time for pics because we literally inhaled them. read more

Taco Joint was right across from our Airbnb in Austin and I couldn't wait to try it! We went on a Sunday morning and it was packed. We were still able to get through the line quickly and found a table outside. Our tacos were delicious and I loved flour tortillas! The salas were way too spicy for my liking but were delicious for my husband. Would definitely recommend! read more

This location had a lot of seating and was much busier than the other location near the university. There were a limited amount of parking spaces. I ordered the potato, egg, & cheese taco and shrimp taco with the hot coffee deal (free hot coffee when you bring your own usable cup). The potato, egg, & cheese taco with flour was tasty and yummy for breakfast. The shrimp taco was decent. The coffee was very watery, lukewarm, and astringent. Decent breakfast tacos but meat isn't really their speciality. I'd stick with the eggs, potatoes, cheese, and veggies here! read more

OCCASION: Saturday lunch FOOD: 5/5 DRINKS: NA ENVIRONMENT: 5/5 SERVICE: 4/5 PRICE: 5/5 OVERALL: 4.75/5 PROS: - Best fish tacos in Austin - Amazing salsa - For some reason... Really good French Fries - And everything is really cheap! - Bigger portions relative to Taco deli or Torchy's CONS: - gets busy 11-1PM on weekends and 12-1PM on weekdays - if you visit during peak hours, you might not find a parking spot. CONCLUSION: Just to give you Austinites a reference, I'm a Taco Deli guy (I don't go to Torchy's for tacos...) and I thought this place had better tacos and salsas than Taco Deli. Especially their fried fish tacos with their Chipotle sauce is probably the best fish tacos I had in this city. I also love their postorito. It goes well with any sauce. For some reason their french fries are really tasty. Taco joint French fries + queso are prob. Better than shake shack's cheese fries. read more

Taco Joint - Fried fish tacos, grilled shrimp tacos and postorito tacos - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Best tacos I've had in Austin. Very fast service and always greeted with a smile. Highly recommend!

Yelp gave this a pretty high recommendation so I thought I would give it a try as I am a big fan of tacos. Decided to order a variety and tried four different tacos. Due to covid the salsa bar was closed so I decided to make it easier on the server and stick with the habanero salsa. Heat was pretty decent but flavor was lacking which is typical for this type of salsa so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume the salsa bar is good. All four tacos were decent but nothing was particularly memorable. Saved the pastor for last because this is probably my favorite taco style. They add cheese which is a huge faux pas so I have no choice but to give a mediocre review especially considering none of the tacos were very memorable. Portion size is generous but at $4 each I would hope so. The tortillas are decent but they are also flour which is another unforgivable sin so all things considered a three star review seems more than generous. read more

Amazing food, I loved the street tacos the most. The chips and queso and guac were all amazing. The chips are not normal tortilla chips they're so unique I've never had anything like it. Definitely recommend this place! The avocados also on the side of the taco is also delicious. read more

Wish I could have tried the food but the entire parking lot and outdoor dining area smells like feces, urine and throw up. Good luck.

Taco joint is normally good. I went in and got two tacos and a bowl for my dog. The dog bowl is awesome. My pup loves it. I ordered a soyrizo and potato taco and it was great. I also ordered a barbacoa taco and it was hands down the nastiest taco I've ever had in my life. It tasted old. The meat tasted really old and off. The meat has a lot of fat, I really don't think it was fresh. I would go back but I will never order the barbacoa taco again. read more

Solid joint for breakfast tacos. Got the potato, egg, cheese on corn tortilla and el gringo (egg white and spinach). Pick the salsa you want. I got chipotle and green which was delicious. Would come back! read more

This San Antonian found Taco Joint right next to our hotel and gave it a shot for breakfast. If my tacos were indicative of what Austin has to offer in the taco game, there's no debate that the title does not belong to this city. We ordered a potato/egg/cheese, the 4/20, and a bean and cheese. The flour tortilla was thin & crispy (possibly overdone in oil?) , my potatoes resembled the bagged tater tots, and the cheese was shredded but unmelted. Edible, yes. Quality tacos, no. But hey, it could have been a bad day for the kitchen! If you are hungry and in a pinch, this place would work but I feel like it would be a disservice to recommend it to anyone. read more

The tortillas here are super fresh and soft, I absolutely love them!! The seared fish taco was my favorite as it was bursting with flavor and the slaw was absolutely perfect! I also really like the salsas here, especially the chipotle and the avocado. The vegan torta was pretty good, a great option for those who don't eat meat! I definitely recommend trying out Taco joint id you have not already!! read more

Stopped by here before jumping onto a flight and let's take a minute to TACO ABOUT IT. FOOD + I tried the potato and eggs taco, as well as the migas taco. Aiming for anymore than 2 tacos at this place would be ambitious because they are loaded! Both tacos are delicious and I was very full after eating them. + The salsa station has a variety of salsas you can accompany your tacos with - the habanero has as great kick to it. - Largely in part we came here for the tortillas. They were good, but not THAT good. Definitely home made feel, but they were kind of hard. LOCATION + Being a visitor to Austin, I didn't have much business in this side of town. Regardless, it was easy to get to. + The inside is kind of small and dark, but the outside has a large patio. There is plenty of parking on site. + It felt like a authentic taco joint. Prices were cheap too! read more

I got bacon, egg and cheese breakfast tacos. Being from Houston and living in LA may have made my standards high but, these breakfast tacos are below par. My faith in Austin has been lowered due to the high rating on this restaurant. The cheese was wack, the flour tortillas were thin. If you know good Mexican food I wouldn't recommend. Horchata is pretty good tho. read more

Did my homework when it came to breakfast tacos. First time trying breakfast tacos and this place was fantastic. We had chorizo/egg, sausage/egg, bacon/potato/ham, egg/potato and chorizo/egg/bacon. (shown) The green, red, habanero and chipotle salsa were also on point. Highly recommend. read more

The food is unbelievable. Blew my mind. I got the street taco and fried fish taco. My daughter got the beef fajita salad, "Delicious!". If you want great food, neat little Austin spot, this is it. There's a reason why there's this many 5-star reviews. It's legit. In a city where you can buy a taco every 50 yards, this is a must stop. read more

What was I doing having Chipotle when the real taco is right here in Austin? Frankly I had no idea taco could be so warm, a little crispy on the side,thin, non-chewy, and just resilient enough to hold all the goodies this place pile on top of it. I don't think I could ever go back to anything less. The place is quite worn down and doesn't look like much but the food is epic. The Street taco, Wholly Mole , Fish Taco Fried, and Pastorito are top four on our list and one should not have anything less than 4 tacos here. There may be a line and even with no line you have to wait for the tacos as they are made to order fresh. A lady at the back grill was making the tacos fresh even in the evening and probably is the reason why tacos here are the best one we had tried. Value wise; for such fresh and delicious food, I have to to give it a 5 star rating. Frankly many expensive restaurants cannot deliver the same explosive flavours as Twco Joints. It is a self-serve joint so perhaps not so perfect for a date night. read more

Came here for both some breakfast and lunch tacos and I was impressed! We tried like 8 diff kinds between the two of us and it was so much food! My favorites were the migas, pastorito and 4/20...the Benedicto kinda reminded me of a California breakfast burrito. The portions were huge and prices great! Couldn't finish all are food so would definitely order less next time, but was fun to try to many kinds and all the types of salsa, too! We got some Jarritos and cold brew on the side. Nice environment with what seemed like a lot of locals sharing meals on the deck read more

Taco Joint - Outside - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

There are so many taco options in Austin that it's sometimes hard to choose, but fear not if you choose Taco Joint because it is delicious, and affordable! When you scoot up on the place the first thing you'll notice is that they have a great outdoor patio in both sides of the restaurant - if there's space that's the best spot! I went with the El Senior Crocket and the Migas Taco and both were out of this world - two tacos were for sure enough for dinner. The El Senior was almost like a fajita with steak, onion and melty Gouda, while the Migas was a breakfast taco lover's dream complete with queso. Don't sleep on the salsa bar tho - get a lil cup of each one so you can mix and match! read more

5 stars for a cheap, solid, breakfast taco. The hot sauces were flavorful and just the right amount of spice. I went with the Chorizo/Egg and Potato/Egg and I would do it again any day. Filled me up. Tasted great. Fast service. What else do ya need out of a fast breakfast taco? read more

I came here yesterday with some friends to round out a weekend in Austin, and am happy I did. While the tacos weren't the best tacos I had in the city, they were very solid and they had a cool patio to sit on. I ended up ordering the migas, the passeroto, and the chorizo and egg. The passeroto and the chorizo and egg were both decent, the flour tortillas are so good here that all of the tacos had a decent floor, but the migas definitely stole the show. I loved the crunchiness from the tortilla chips and the eggs were cooked nicely. It was the perfectly complement to the flour tortillas. The chorizo and egg was a little bland, and the pork in the passeroto was a little dry for me, but again, the flour tortillas make sure these tacos don't taste bad. The salsas were mostly just ok, but my favorite was the habanero. It had a nice sweetness to combat the heat. All in all, come here and order whichever taco you want, just make sure it's on a flour tortilla. read more

Stopped in for some lunch tacos. I was recommended to check this place out by multiple people. I went with three of the most popular tacos with the most popular sauces. I'm not sure if I caught them on a bad day or not but the taco shells were very chewy and cold. The inside of the taco was very runny and hard to eat. read more

If you'd like to pay too much for breakfast tacos you've waited fifteen minutes to get (even ones without made to order eggs), if you'd like to receive your food after people who came in behind you because they're a regular, if you'd like to be forced to interrupt the whole queue of those waiting to order to ask about your online order which you can see dying at the pass for ten minutes, if you'd like to pay for drinks you don't receive in your order which died in the window for ten minutes, then come put up with The Taco Joint! I'm sure this place will thrive because it clearly has a loyal following, but if you aren't already an insider, be prepared to have a really lousy experience. read more

This place knows what they're doing. They're house-made tortillas are light but hold together, the way they grill them up works too. Service is quick in my experience (waited less than 5 min for my food). All together just worth checking out. The chipotle salsa stood out to me. Migas taco was huge and good. Gouda for the cheese was delicious with my steak taco. read more

This restaurant was right around the corner from my hotel and I was able to scooter to it with no issues. The atmosphere was amazing, although it was busy it was very speedy with ordering and getting your food. The service was amazing and once we sat down and ate we devoured our food. I will definitely come back to this place. Don't miss out on the hidden menu which was on the wall right by the register. I ordered the shrimp tacos and a side of fries. The special sauces at the bar was also an added incentive that made the tacos taste really good as well. You must visit this place if you are near. read more

Taco joint is the closest restaurant to my work, which is a great relief. We used to cater from here pretty frequently for breakfast, which is perfect since their breakfast tacos are amongst the best in Austin. Chorizo/sausage/bacon and egg are all great, especially slathered with their avocado salsa. Lunch tacos are good too, and they're pretty quick about it despite seemingly longer lines. My personal favorites are the street taco or either the grilled/fried fish ones with the slightly sweet slaw. Two will fill you up alright. Or mix match a breakfast with a lunch taco for lunch on the cheap. read more

During the time I visit this location a young lady helped us. I ordered the tacos and the tortas tacos where great but when I asked to switch my tortas cause of how sweet it was she looked at me with disgrace after the one bite I took she said she wasn't able to refund or switch it out. Very disappointing. read more

Hubby and I ended up binge watching the Food Network one random night and we landed on "Tacos in Texas" good idea and bad idea. Bad idea because we needed tacos immediately, GOOD idea because Taco Joint is in our back yard!!! The location is weird ... ill admit, but its SO GOOD. I am picky with my tacos and want them to be home made, and fresh. This had all the check marks. Hubby and I got 4 different tacos and ate them all. They also have Mexican Cola which was perfect to wash these down with. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Love breakfast tacos. Came here Sat AM with some friends while we were in town for the weekend. The line was not too long and it moved pretty quickly. It's a cute little place with a good amount of parking. The menu has a wide variety of options - I went with spinach and egg white (my vain attempt to be healthy) and steak/gouda/eggs. The tacos came out pretty quickly - we were able to find a seat for 4 by the time we had ordered and gotten our drinks. I also got a few of their dipping sauces - green chile, habanero, and avocado. All of them were really good and went with both tacos well (note - they call the numbers up front so if you're sitting in the back, you probably won't hear them). Overall a pretty good, cheap place. Worth stopping by if you're looking for some tasty breakfast tacos. read more

I loved el señor crockett. I think if you are really hungry, you should buy two. I got the corn tortillas, as they are healthy. They give you a variety of sauces! I don't like spicy, and of course, I poured the cloudy green sauce, which was spicy; my own fault. Inside it's air conditioned, but chilly! Outside is too hot. The food and service was great! read more

Being only 5 mins away, I go here at least twice a week. Though service has gotten extremely slow in the past few months, everything else has been good. However, yesterday, I received the worst service ever. I ordered pickup and when I went to the restaurant and my name was called, I just grabbed the bag of food and left as I've always done. Once I got home, I realized they gave me someone else's order. I called in to let them know the situation and the phone call was kind of weird, the person on the phone kept reiterating my order for some reason instead of letting me know how they'd rectify the issue. I was finally told to come back and get my actual order. Once I got to the restaurant, the guy at the counter (his name was Genaro) literally threw the bag of food on the counter and waved me away. No apology, no thanks for coming back, nothing. Not sure how them giving me the wrong order was my fault, but that made me feel incredibly bad and annoyed. And the icing on the cake: I got sick after eating the food that was my actual order! I order the same stuff all the time so that was strange. I will NEVER ever eat from this place again. Maybe they should hire people who actually care about customers and not rude family members. read more
