Hooray, a no-frills taco joint in a trendy-eatery part of town. Sometimes you really just want a good taco and to spend under $10 on your lunch. And to not have to scour for parking. And to have a legit salsa bar, and fast service, and authentic tortillas. Thanks for being that stability in an Austin quickly filling up with the next-hippest-restaurant-idea. I also dig the fact that there are plenty of non-taco options on the menu too. read more

Love this place! The tacos and the hot sauces are always on point. The flour tortillas are homemade. Beer selection compliments food well. Plus, the staff is so, so friendly! Highly recommend for a quick bite anytime! read more

This place is ridiculously good, personal favorites are chicken fajita taco with added shredded cheese, el 420 and the street taco are tasty little gems as well. My lady usually gets a tamale and they are tasty. Homemade tortillas are yummy. It's less expensive and better than torchy. In fact, I stopped going to torchy all together because of the Joint. I recommend for all taco heads that want some real Mexican style. read more

Cheap taco option outside the downtown area.. can't beat the prices for sure, and the cashiers were friendly and helpful. They gave recommendations and allowed us to create our own combinations and substitute toppings. Overall though, the food was pretty bland. Seemed like they were pretty rushed which might've contributed, but that's no excuses to fill up about half of the tortillas. Wouldn't return, try a food truck instead. read more

You'd think making really great tacos is an easy task, but having grown up in San Antonio, TX I can tell you it's not. Ingredients need to be fresh, taco's big and home made tortilla's. All three boxes are checked here at Taco Joint and the staff was so friendly, I almost took them back to Nashville with me! Keep up the great work TJ!!! read more

This is my favorite place in the city. The good is great, but the service is exceptional. The people who work here are some of the friendliest people I know, and we look forward to our almost-daily breakfast tacos because of them. read more

Breakfast Tacos are unreal. Highly recommended for anyone living in or visiting Austin

Finally tried this place. We had a breakfast taco that was bursting full of deliciousness. They fill the taco so full you really get your money's worth. Try the chipotle sauce. We are locals and we shall return. One of the better breakfast tacos in town. They have a great deck area too. read more

So delicious...a must go! They serve all tacos (breakfast and regular) all day long! We came here one morning while visiting Austin and returned for a total of 3 days in a row..that's just how good it is! Specialty tacos are better than the breakfast in my opinion, but all is delicious! Only thing they could do different is add more flavor to the retried beans. read more

This "Taco Joint" is delicious. I have to admit i was a little hesitant because of the prices but i think it was well worth it. The queso is good and the chips are homemade. They have a little salsa bar with several different types of salsa to add that extra zing to your taco. read more

We moved here from California 9 months ago, and to date, this is our favorite Taco restaurant.

So if u are familiar with this place you know their homemade flour tortillas and breakfast tacos are slammin'. But did u know their lunchie munchies are equally delicious?! I had their Holy Mole and Habanero Pulled Pork tacos and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Portions are Texas sized but not overly priced and you can get a lone star for $2.50 which is rare now a days. Inside in tiny at this location but their covered patio makes up for it. I'll be back to try their tortas asap! read more

Hands down the best tacos in Texas! If you don't give this place 5 stars I'm not sure you were eating at the same place as I was. I was visiting Austin for about a week and eat here about 4 times. You can't go wrong with the wholly molly but the best was the el 420 was my personal favorite. The best part was the salsa bar. read more

Good tacos, amazing hand made flour torts. The staff is friendly and service is quick. I would recommend ordering To go because the lines are always long during peak eating times. read more

Best Tacos I've had in Austin. Personal favorites are the street taco and the benedicto breakfast taco on the weekend. TJ probably makes up 20% of my weekly meals. Only complaint is they close at 3 PM on weekends. I'd move into the closet and pay rent if they stayed open later. read more

Friendly and informative staff! Affordable and REALLY filling. They also have a dog friendly patio and doggie bowls for $4! Definitely recommend! read more

Lunch today was two of their big, beautiful tacos (a grilled fish and a pastorito). I didn't specify corn or flour, and got perfect versions of the latter. Tacos really don't get any better than this. They serve breakfast tacos all day, and I can only imagine how great those are. read more

Olivia and Gabriel are great. This is our favorite location. Best tacos in Austin! Street taco, shrimp taco, tamale, and carnitas hash are legit and almost always what we order. If you're visiting Austin, definitely don't miss this place read more

BEST TACOS EVER!! Okay so they are huge so I'm a 5'5 little girl. I ordered two and had to take the other Togo because they are bigger than I thought. Worth the money. Great deal service and atmosphere was sweet! read more

When I found out Taco Joint was taking over the old riverside sonic location, I started trying to convert all of my friends. Essentially, most everyone has their "best breakfast taco" place and that place becomes a habit. My close friends have quickly seen the light and Taco Joint is now a group favorite. You can't go wrong with the classic bacon+egg+cheese with the creamy avocado sauce. They also serve tortas and breakfast burritos- also killer! Their 2nd location is easy to get to, parking and a great patio area to enjoy said tacos. read more

best tacos in Austin in my opinion. Fast and friendly service! I usually go for breakfast tacos, but their lunch tacos are just as good.

If your looking for authentic mexican food /or breakfast tacos this isnt the place to go , this restuarant caters to its locals ,

The migas are amazing. Ah. May. Zing. Just seriously off the charts. Delicious.

This place is located at the old Sonic on Riverside drive (between I 35& Congress Ave). Gated parking area so don't worry about homeless people coming up and panhandling. The ordering area is a bit small its possible it may be packed like sardines when you first place your order. The flour tortillas are home-made and yummy but they were a bit on the thicker side. Prices are fairly cheap. Great quick stop for after the trail runs! read more

Wanted to like this place but the tacos were just terrible. We bought quite a few and they all were disappointing. The meats were dry and the tortillas tasted old and stale. Not fun. read more

Every taco I have tried on the menu has been great. Street tacos and fried fish tacos are the best. Believe it ir not they have great fries and desserts as well. read more

We had the breakfast tacos and they did not disappoint! They were inexpensive AND big. 4 different homemade salsa options and they were all delicious. It is Dog friendly inside and outside, the place was clean and the service was excellent. Definitely a new favorite! read more

This place has everything you want in a go to taco place: great handmade tortillas, many delicious salsas to choose from, huge good quality tacos, and friendly service. For added comfort, misting fans on the patios! The tacos are massive, I usually order two and am full afterwards. There's no need to go hunting for premade tacodeli tacos when you can just come here for cheaper and better tacos! read more

Awesome tacos. Great variety. Low key and friendly. Would highly recommend. Doesn't disappoint.

Really like the 420 and fish seated tacos - really the size of a small burrito. Great flavors and good salsa bar. Great lunch spot.

Great Tacos! I'm pretty picky when it comes to tacos. We are spoiled in California with great Mexican food. This place has a great blend of flavors. The Wholly Mole taco was delicious and so was the steak taco. My kids had a burger and a milanesa torta. All was finger licking good! read more

Wow! Now that is what I am talking about! Good price, delicious, and their avocado salsa is amazing! Husband had the chorizo and egg taco...said it was the best he has had. I had potato, cheese, and bacon...SOOOO GOOD! You will not be disappointed! AND another plus....there's parking! You must try! read more

Great place for yummy tacos. We had the El Senor Crockett, El 420, Street Taco, Fish fried, Fish Seared, and the chicken tortilla soup. The bill was $23! It's a cheap place to eat and leave you satisfied. Each taco was huge. Much larger than other establishments we've been to. There were ladies in back of the kitchen rolling out fresh tortillas. They have an array of sauces: chipotle, avocado cream, salsa verde, and hot. They have a self serve area with small ladles so you can load up. read more

Love everything here, on Saturdays and Sundays they have a benedict taco that really does taste like eggs benedict. My favorite is the steak egg and gouda, the green salsas are great, pretty quick despite being so busy sometimes, mimosas could be stronger but the eggs benedict taco more than made up for it. Tortillas are made in house and soooooo good. read more

Updating to a 5 star place. Consistently good tacos with consistently good coffee. Will continue to head over and bring friends as long as they keep it up! read more

Migas taco is the best in the city- way better than Veracruz. I've found the breakfast tacos are better than lunch varieties. The burger is gross but it's a taco joint! The fruit salad is really good too. Very friendly service at the counter. Great salsa bar. read more

This is so good the tortillas are fresh. The tacos are soooooo amazing. You can't go wrong with this place.

Pretty good tacos they good vegetarian options. Try to avoid busy times, off hours will ensure less of a wait as obvious as it sounds. The first time I was here was Sunday morning and it took at least a half hour and that was a to go order. Other than that these tacos are delicious, enjoy! read more

When I die I hope Heaven is like Austin, TX. Because I will be going to The Taco Joint! This place is so good. Nothing fancy and expect to wait a few minutes if you hit them at the meal hour. But it is so worth it. Inexpensive as well. read more

Love this place!! Stephanie and I would to the UT location all the time and now that it's opened here in SoCo we go almost every weekend. We are huge fans of the breakfast tacos and amazing sauces, habanero for the misses and chipotle for me. We've also had the lunch/dinner menu and love it as well. This is a must try restaurant! read more
