    Pirata Taco
    Denise D.

    Stopped by because I was craving some tacos! The menu was a bit strange and seemed to only offer tacos as a combo plate. I asked if they sold them ala carte, and they do. However, 2 tacos was more than the combo plate. I don't like to waste food, so I got the 2 tacos. The steak one was outstanding! The chicken pastor one reminded me of sawdust. No flavor, no pineapple, just bad. I went through the drive thru & it was fast & friendly. If they work on that pastor recipe, it could be 4-5 stars!

    You know what sucks? The fact that a bunch of fast food places have quietly removed the vegan options from their menus. You know what doesn't suck? Taco Palenque has stepped it UP! They offer Impossible meat in both taco- and burrito- form, both of which are automatically vegan AS IS. Nothing to remove or modify. It's such a simple yet beautiful thing. Big added bonus is their abundant chip and salsa bar, included in every meal. Even their creamy avocado salsa is dairy-free! Besides that, the dining room was striking clean, airy, bright, and spacious. Super fast service on top of it all. You really can't beat it for a fast food fix.

    If you are up in NW Austin near Costco and want to get a quick bite to eat this is a fairly good option. The Palenque bowl appears to be the most popular item. I wanted something in more of taco form and got the Casero. They both come with your choice of side (refried, charro beans, or something else). The portions are huge so i can see why people come here. True, this is not an earth shattering taco. But i think it's a step above Taco Cabana; the food is just seasoned better here with slightly higher quality ingredients. I enjoyed the chips and salsa bar as well. Wasn't really a fan of the green salsa - the red salsa is the way to go. Love that they also have pickled onions. A meal here won't break the bank and sometimes you just need a mid point meal - nothing too fancy.

    This place is great for quantity and value especially with their bogo burrito offer. My partner and I had sirloin burritos and fideos and I had a taco matamoros. The burritos were alright but the taco was very tasty. The self serve sauce and toppings bar was very extensive and included chips and salsa which really added to the meal. I got a fountain drink and was excited for horchata but it's the concentrate kind which taste artificial so I'd stay away from that. But overall this is a great no-frills place to get a good meal.

    Chicken Breast Fajita Taco

    Food is good but inconsistent portion sizes, especially when it's about $6 for one taco is unacceptable.

    Crispy Taco Bill
    Gail M.

    Drive thru was fairly average. Cashier Hassel was very friendly. Ordrred 1 beef fajita and 1 beef picadillo crispy tacos. They were out of piccadillo so I got 2 fajita. The beef was very tasty and tender. Toopings of cheese, lettuce & tomato was skimpy. Crispy shells were delicious. I should requested sour cream or a salsa as they were very dry. My fault there. I'll try again and will be more aware.

    Greasy bag. Greasy beef burrito. With a side of extra grease! Greasy bastards !

    Food is good sometimes. Service is cool .. always clean inside at least ... but this is unacceptable. ..Greasy burrito is garbage ... whole burrito and bag was wet and served with a side of extra grease ! Gtfoh and go feed this to your momma! Not me !

    Sirloin plate-
    Mary S.

    Got a sirloin plate, they don't have their liquor license yet. They give free chips and a decent salsa bar with chips. You get a tiny scoop of guacamole which has onions in it. Rice good, fluffy and a touch of corn, refried tasty. Was good and about right for the price made soft tacos. Tried the roasted salsa and tomatillo sauce- both good. Will be back to explore the menu. They do have a light combo- not sure what it is but lower cal. Look at the nutrition info. Not too much here if looking for keto. There are some around 20 g carbs though

    I waited as they "remade" my food. You get deep-fried bacon bits to hurry to correct the mistake and get the food down faster.

    Food and service was amazing. I'd recommend buying food for the table and sharing with everyoneread more

    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

    Beautiful restaurant and excellent service (thank you Juan)…read more Very innovative cocktails. Good chips and salsa. The breakfast burrito was really delicious. Good refried beans, too. I ordered the brunch cachetada and wasn't thrilled. The suiza chicken and runny eggs diluted the flavor and made the cheese crust on the tortilla soggy. I had to add a lot of hot sauce. It needed more texture and flavor. Overall a boring dish. I would definitely return and order something else, however.

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!

    As a Texas native & Austinite, my boyfriend has been going to Fonda for years (they've been around…read moresince 1975 after all). I've only been once and it's definitely not gonna be the last time. In fact, we've got an upcoming reservation that's been on the books for quite sometime. They've managed to remain delicious, relevant and in demand 50 years! That's saying something. I'll tell you what that says...it says they rule! Reservations can be tricky to get but oh so worth it. The bar & atrium are fantastic and they boast a generous happy hour. The restaurant area and entire space are decorated wonderfully. Amazing artwork adorns the walls, they've got extensive art all about, vaulted ceilings and more. It's kind of like being in a hacienda. It feels like you're in Mexico. Truly. The restaurant and food are upscale without being pretentious. How refreshing! Speaking of refreshing...they've got cocktails and mocktails that will knock your socks off. I'm a big fan of the Nojito. My boyfriend loves the Mexican martini (it's primo). Let's talk about food. Wow-wee is it everything and then some. This is the kind of Tex-Mex flavor that sends your tastebuds into a tailspin of goodness! On our visit we did a salsa flight (we did 3 salsas), the queso (melted muenster and Oaxacan), Wagyu beef tacos, and chicken verde enchiladas. We did a spread like that in order to share everything. Food so good I'd give ten stars if I could. I can't put my finger on it but there's just something so special about the food, the taste of it, and the quality. It's just incredible flavor explosion bite after bite. If I had to guess, I'd say the food has been made with love, skill, and attention to detail all these years. Hence, their amazing reputation. Service is beyond compare. Hands down some of the best I've experienced in all of my worldly travels. Fonda San Miguel (Tzintzuntzan) is a dream come true!
