After stopping at 5 different place (been close ) we end up at this truck taco place ! We hand a great experience the Tacos al pastor are super good and the Gorditas are awesome ! I'll be coming back again. read more

One line summary - good food, just make sure to clarify what you're ordering The tacos were great, but the menu was confusing. Everything was listed in one column, so we assumed they were all tacos. After ordering, I got 4 tacos and 4 tortas. Way too much for me to eat, but the food was pretty decent. read more

Really authentic Mexican street food and tacos. Absolutely delicious. Open super late, food truck style but with ample seating. Add a corn on the cob or bacon wrapped cheese stuffed jalapeño to your order. read more

This place is great. Fantastic pastor and it's always a party after midnight! Love that they give you onions on the plate and they are very generous with the portions. A really authentic and fantastic spot. read more

Do you like bacon? My tacos came with a stuffed jalapeno wrapped in bacon. I would say that was the star of the show and why it earned the fourth star. I showed up Friday night around 2:30 am and order two cabeza de res ( I was told this is barbacoa), two Suadero (beef ) and an Agua Pina. The plate had everything I could have wanted. It had bacon, cilantro, a grilled green onion, radish, and of course the tacos. It was beautiful. While I did enjoy the food, I couldn't help but feel something was wrong. Maybe it was because the four tacos set me back 11 bucks, 2.75 a taco? I'm not sure because prices were not written anywhere. The tortillas were corn, I usually get flour, I wasn't offer the choice. The barbacoa was not the slow cooked oily mess I was use to. All tacos tasted good, nothing spectacular, just good.The agua pina had a strange texture about it that I can't describe. It tasted good but again, something about it wasn't right. The only time I see myself returning is if I wanted the beautiful Taqueria 7 Estrellas brand of tacos or if I wanted tacos really bad really late. Otherwise, for the price, there are plenty of other taco spots. WARNING! The parking lot entrance is big enough for one car only. Please be careful entering the lot especially if you're making a left. read more

Taqueria 7 Estrellas - Food Stands Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is too expensive for the food served. I paid 80+ dollars for 3 orders of tacos. I also purchased an agua fresca who was clearly made from cheap powder. Never going again. read more

it was alright. there was more cilantro than meat. chile was basically water. "agua fresca" was not "fresca" it was straight water. there's no listing of the prices and it came out to $18 a plate. read more

Food is amazing... The gorditas are to die for ... Tacos are also delicious. Great experience... Service could be a little better but that's what u expect at a taco stand read more

Taqueria 7 Estrellas - Gorditas and tacos - Food Stands Near Me - Austin, Texas

I don't write reviews unless the place surprises me in a great way or the place blows and I threw the food away. This place exceeded my expectations. Love the fajita tacos. They don't speak a lick of English though, which makes it difficult to order exactly what you want. Most of the time I have no clue what I'm eating, but it tastes great. read more

We actually stumbled upon this little gem while looking for another restaurant that served al pastor. Turns out the other restaurant had closed down but I considered it a sign from God that after driving across town for al pastor the one parking lot we stopped in for directions happened to contain an al pastor trailer. My girlfriend is not terribly adventurous when it comes to trailer food but I persuaded her to at least try one taco and if she didn't like it we could go somewhere else. After one bite I was back out of the car and purchasing 6 more tacos. That was last week and we went back this weekend too. I have lived in Mexico and have eaten a lot of great street food and this is up there with any of it. Definitely worth a try. The other tacos are pretty good but the al pastor is definitely their specialty. read more

It was very late@ night and since I'm on a trailer tasting adventure I decided to yelp the taquerias that we're open at midnight. I refused to drive dt and deal with drunken people. Ii drove down n.Lamar and saw what yelp said was still open. The place was poppin! a good sign of great Mexican food is when you see lots of Latinos waiting for food and only speak Spanish. You also see just one white man trying to get some food, good food that is.The aguas frescas are ok, the horchata needs more condensed milk but it's still good. I would suggest the gorditas, any meat. The tacos al pastor are great, and the salsas spectacular. I'm sad that didnt find this place sooner but will stop by when ever its feasible. Very authentic mexico city tacos for sure.... read more

CAUTION! I ate here with my partner and the food seemed to be fine. I also ordered an horchata, which was given with delay and tasted different - but kinda good. I waited forever for my food and didn't want to complain about the funny tasting agua fresca. I was trying to be nice. It tasted like agua de melon was kinda mixed in there. About 24 hours later, I became INCREDIBLY sick. I woke up covered in sweat, chills, fever, and a bout of irregularity. I could hardly walk and didn't wanna talk. I didn't want to do anything but sleep for a couple of days. As it stands, the lab is still testing for what I have, but they believe it to be e. Coli, Salmonella, or the like. It's been a week and I still struggle to go about my daily life, and I'm taking everything I can to feel normal again. My partner and I mostly eat home cooked meals and that was our diet for the in-between time in dining here. I will never return again, and won't recommend this place to anyone. Even if I didn't get sick on the food, I still don't trust the cleanliness of this place. read more

al pastor with the pineapple on top, im halfway sold already. Oh, the torte cubana comes with a deep fired hot dog on it? Tell me no more.... read more

This place is nothing short of spectacular. The food is as authentic as can get, and delicious, too. The food is also priced well. While every item is phenomenal (except the horchata), the franchise player is the gordita. This is an absolutely must try. I get it with cesina and it never disappoints. Do yourself a favor and go out there to try it. You won't be disappointed. read more

The el pastor was very good and the barbacoa was solid also. It was pretty great to hear a two-person Mariachi band playing for just a few people at 10:30 on a Sunday night. I will eat their again soon. read more

Love the Al Pastor tacos. They are prepared w/o pineapple, which is unusual but delicious nonetheless. The fajita chicken is also very tasty in Gorditas. So good I keep going back even though the hours and lack of card payment acceptance are inconveniences. Definitely recommend you bring enough cash when you check it out. Dinner for 2 abt $20 bucks. read more

Growing up in Mexico I've come to know what true good taquitos taste like. My bf and I were very excited to try this spot. Unfortunately she missed the mark. WARNING - if they ask you if you'd like Chile and cebolla, they mean as an extra charge. The bacon wrapped & stuffed cheese chiles are $3 each and the cebolla Is $1. That adds up quick ! Ok so we got some Al pastor & bistec tacos AND gorditas with bistec pastor and asada. The flavor was not there yall. The meat lacked seasoning and proper cooking in its own juices and ultimately that slight crispiness you expect from well cooked meat. The gorditas were ok , mainly due to the very oily gordita maza. Also there's no pricing for anything listed anywhere. But trust she's not I'm the budget friendly side of street tacos. Ultimately she's basic confusing over priced and lacks that flavor. But the staff is nice. Also the salsa are not spicy read more

Decided to try them out, should of gone somewhere else. Got carnitas, cabeza de res(cow head) and pastor. The pastor was ok, the carnitas were bland and dry, and the cow head was not good at all, too dry, since I've had better. My husband got tripas taco, you couldn't even tell it was a tripas taco by looking at it. The only reason I gave them 2 stars was because of the cheese filled, bacon wrapped jalapeño. Also $24 for 8 tacos seemed kinda a little pricey since I've bought more at other taquerias for that price and better tacos. But all in all, won't ever go back there again. There's way better taquerias out there. read more

Absolutely Loved the food!! Authentic indeed! We were hungry so didn't have time to take a picture. Even though we might have mixed our plates the food was delicious! We ordered tacos & it came with grilled sweet onions and jalapeño wrapped in bacon. I had a agua fresca horchata, never had it before. The drink was alright and then something I needed after every bite. Over all we were all very pleased and left wanting more. Definitely recommend this place. We've been coming to Austin for years and surprised we're just now coming to it. Definitely better then Taco Cabana. We give you 10 stars!! LOVED,LOVED, LOVED, THE TACOS!! We're definitely Coming back! read more

if you've driven north lamar at night, you've probably seen this place lit up like a christmas tree in front of a used tire yard. anthony bourdain would make some quip about how the proximity to blue collar work guarantees good flavor but i'm not him. to make a long story short: everything is at least pretty good, and quite a few things are amazing. i've been craving good tortas since I came back to the states from mexico, and they make a greasy, delicious torta cubana with perfect bread and everything. even though i'm pretty sure mine had a oscar mayer weiner in it, i loved it. and the gorditas! i didn't even know what an authentic gordita looked like, brainwashed as i am by taco bell commercials of my youth, but i was feeling frisky and i ordered one and i loved that too. this is a SPOT read more

Tacos were delish, as well as the green salsa. SO HOT but SO GOOD!

Their Al Pastor meat is sensational!! I had an Al Pastor torta with pineapple and fell in love. Their customer service was fantastic. I couldn't decide what meat I wanted and was grateful to the cashier for a little taste test. Hands down go with the Al Pastor. Their aguas frescas are scrumptious also. I tried the melon (cantalope) one. So good! It made me wish I ordered more than one. This little trailer has cute Christmas lights around their tent for the casual dining area. Bring cash and you won't be disappointed. read more
