Don't let the shabby exterior fool you! These tacos are really solid. I got the suadero, al pastor and tripe. Suadero was easily the winner, followed by tripa. Service is fast and they're generous with sauces and limes. And for $3 a pop it's a great value. read more

I love coming here to get some tacos or burritos. The food is consistent, and it doesn't take long to get the order. I've called them to place orders or gone up front and had no issues with either one. There are a couple of picnic tables out front to eat at, but I usually do takeout. Food: I've tried almost all of the meat options, but my favorite is the Barbacoa tacos. My partner likes the shrimp and chicken tacos. Side note: I love supporting small family-owned businesses. This is a good one to stop by if you're in the area and craving tacos or burrito. I haven't tried the rest of the menu but I am looking forward to trying them next time I go. read more

Taqueria La Libertad is a reliable five star taco truck. Today I did chorizo and egg and chorizo abd potato. Both were a little greasier than usual, but it doesn't deninish the grade. Good fillings. Flour tortillas are perfect. Not too thick. Reheated. Two breakfast tacos for $5. I use the yellow salsa, which has a nice bite. This is a must eat at taco truck in Austin. read more

This was a food truck located on a corner. The menu had mostly different taco combinations along with burritos and combination platters. The food was made to order and ready in a timely matter. I had three breakfast tacos ($2.50 each). The ones I chose were egg and cactus, egg and chorizo, and egg and bacon on flour tortillas. They also came with a side of hot salsa and a green sauce that enhanced each taco. Each was stuffed and was extremely hot. My favorite was the egg and chorizo. The cactus was interesting as it had a soft texture, but it did not really have a taste. I should have eaten it separate to get a better feel. Will I go back? I would. read more

This Taco spot is located right across from my gym LiftATX which made it super convenient post workout. The prices are $3.50ish per taco which is fairly reasonable. I ordered the chicken fajita, al pastor and campechano (chorizo x bistec). As a HUGE street tacos fan this a typical order for me so I have a lot of data to go off. Overall I actually thought the chicken fajita was the best which is normally not the case. Chicken was crispy but tender and the flavor was fresh and well seasoned. The pastor and campechano were good but surprisingly lacking a bit of flavor. I have had far more delicious tacos when it comes to these 2 proteins but it was pretty good. Additionally, the salsa verde and rojo were lacking big time. Not a lot of flavor on the verde in particular but still made the taco better. Agua de melon was absolutely delicious, very large and refreshing so highly recommend. Service was kind and fast so no complaints there. read more

This small taco truck is a nice stop after Austin Bouldering Project. I had the barbacoa taco, suadero taco, and breakfast burrito. The tacos were delicious, and the green sauce was flavourful and spicy. My friend's favourite was the bistec. The breakfast burrito did not meet my expectations as it did not have much flavour. I was also confused by the price as the total was $13, but that didn't match up to the listed menu prices. read more

Food: 4.75 / 5 Service: 5 / 5 Cleanliness: 4.5 / 5 Parking: 3.5 / 5 Price: 4.5 / 5 Overall I would give it 4.5 star on Yelp. Taqueria La Libertas is a VERY solid spot but not OUTSTANDING for me. My barber is just across the street so when I'm hungry, I grab myself some tacos from here. Nothing bad from this spot. Service is solid but parking is kinda meh. I recommend checking it out as this might be a sleeper/underrated spot in the area!

I love this place!!! This is my hidden gem in Austin. Great tacos with handmade corn and flour tortillas. Price is right at $2/taco so load up! If you are looking for tasty tacos that don't cost an arm and a leg you found the spot. That being said, you aren't going to find some crazy Tex mex combos here, just amazing prepared meat, onions and cilantro. Yum! Owners are super friendly and don't worry if you don't speak Spanish, they will understand you just fine. I've come 3 times in the last 2 weeks since I found this place. They are seriously that good! read more

Are they the best tacos I've ever had or even the cheapest? Nope but they're still GOOD. They got you covered on your three main meats (barbacoa, carnitas, al pastor) and while they ran a bit too much on the fatty side they still hit the spot. I will say their salsas were a little disappointing though, a tad watery with not too much flavor. I will say the corn tortillas are some of the best I've had in a minute though. The horchata is the perfect accompaniment (not to mention MASSIVE), so all in all, not too bad of a spot to swing by if you're in the area. read more

I was craving several of the menu items since I saw the photos. Woke up hungry so went for a couple of breakfast burritos. I'm giving the place 3 stars because: Positive: 1) Burritos were tasty. I got egg, potato bacon, cheese & the husband got egg, bean & cheese. 2) They were quite large! You're getting the equivalent of at least 3 breakfast tacos with these. Not the greatest: 1) I started calling when they opened (according to online hours) & they didn't pick up for 1/2 an hour. 2) They really were like breakfast tacos, prep & flavor-wise. As much as I like breakfast tacos, the whole reason I went here was because the pictures showed the tortillas all toasted & grilled. Nope. Soft tortillas. Good, but just like tacos with a larger tortilla & folded ends. 3) No masks. Well, the gal who took my card put on a mask *after* she opened the window & was reminded to, but the two others in the truck cooking were maskless. 4) (Not their fault, but...) 3 others waiting for food just outside were maskless as well. If you're being religious about masks & social distancing, might want to wait this one out. read more

Not oily at all and not made on burger bun. Overall very good hangout place. Couple of parking spots near by. Dog park right next to it. I may try other snacks items next time

Very good Indian street food. I enjoy the chaat the most…read more Pav bahji is flavorful and the buns are nicely toasted. Chai is too sweet and the ginger flavor is too strong.

The breakfast tacos were flavorful, the sausage biscuit was delicious, and the strawberry matcha was definitely a highlight. As a huge matcha lover, I have to say... yum, yum! It was refreshing, creamy, and the perfect addition to breakfast. Everything was fresh, my order was ready on time, and pickup was quick and easy. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

I have been coming to Day Maker for the last 8 months or so and every single time my service is A1,…read morethe food is always fresh and delicious and the staff always shares a smile! The menu here is exciting, vibrant and you truly can't go wrong with anything you choose. My friend has joined me on multiple occasions and I can say we have tried quite a lot from here and have never been let down. Bonus points for the seasonal or weekly selects they have - some super yummy creations. While it can get super busy on the weekends and the ambiance can be a lil overstimulating ~ I'm happy to come during the week days when it's a slower and I can pull up a chair at the bar for easy, laid back dining! They also have a designated window for to go order, quick orders or call in orders. This has become my go to! Every staff member is always efficient, kind and professional. I think the service from the staff sticks out the most and the food right after - and on a consistent basis that's just hard to find these days. So hats off to Day Marker they really do make my day lol!

They offer quieter indoor seating as well as an outdoor bar area with a more energetic vibe. I ordered the Brussels sprouts, and while the flavor was good, they were a little softer than I would've preferred. The brisket tacos were solid, but the real standout was the short rib taquitos , they completely stole the show. We also tried the $8 margarita, and the pour was surprisingly generous.

We had a huge group here for dinner, and for a hotel restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised…read more The ambience is modern and fun vibes. Service was mostly good. The server was kind enough to do split checks upon request. Everyone enjoyed their dishes, so the food is good overall. Our group was split into 2 tables, which is okay, but 1 table was served way before the other table, so some of our group was done eating by the time others got their food. That was the main challenge we had. Would have been great to serve everyone's food closer time-wise. Overall, good experience and I'd come back if staying at the hotel again.

Gourdough's Food Trailer

I really didn't want to like these donuts, because who needs a $9 donut, right? But I have to…read moreadmit, they far exceeded my expectations. Just to be clear, I AM somewhat of a subject matter expert. I have eaten all manner of fried dough creations from coast to coast, including Hawaii, and I have a lot to say on the topic. My favorite is still Cider Belly in Albany, NY, but I digress. The PB&J donut here is one of the best things I have ever eaten. I dragged it out for 3 days. Even semi-stale, and reheated in the microwave, it was still delicious. I put a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream on it which definitely helped. I also ordered a Heavenly Hash (one of my favorite ice cream flavors BTW) and a Naughty and Nice because I am all about the classics. They were both outstanding. No leftovers. I bought these donuts in lieu of birthday cake this year which may become my new tradition. Honestly, I think these are my new favorite donuts in Austin now.

Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

I love that you can sit upstairs and they play really fun music. It's a perfect place to come with friends. I loved the Lox plate, it's something that I will crave again and order the next opportunity I get. The migas with carnitas is so good too and vey filling. 10/10

I don't know what to say about this. The place is super cute, parking is whack. The menu is a bit…read moresimple but complex at the same time. First time bring here and the waiter recommended these items. I feel like I ordered the wrong items, or maybe a Texas Hash is not my type of breakfast food. I didn't expect it to taste like curry and I don't want to eat curry spices for brunch. 4/5 The fried chicken with biscuit is okay, the chicken was great, well done great seasoning. The egg was cook to perfection, the biscuit was dry though, and the gravy was a bit weird. It was more like a dressing than gravy. 3/5 Texas hash was sweet potatoes and pulled pork in what I can guess is like a curry sauce with lime, cilantros. I wouldn't order this again, we ate like 1/2 of it and didn't even togo home. I was expecting more like... breakfast sweet potatoes with a side of pulled pork, didn't expect that it was all mixed in and mashed together. 5/5 free rice Krispies, this was amazing. Probably the best home made rice Krispies I had in my life. Overall I need to comeback to try something else. Also the water here was good, didn't taste like Austin city water.

Sammie’s

Who would have thought an Italian red sauce joint would go straight to my top tier Austin recs?…read more Place is just legendary. Sammie's has been hyped up on social media for a long time and I gotta say it's still underrated! I will gladly have Sammie's take the Pepsi challenge against red sauce joints in NYC/NJ etc. In fact, I've told friends and family that I am going to take them to Sammie's when they visit from there. We just had such a fantastic experience - everything..the vibe..the red light fixtures and the color of the booths and the floor..the service - our server was great..loved their outfits..really had an old school little italy feel to it. The food was much better than I even anticipated - as a guy who grew up on NJ diner mozzarella sticks, I have a high bar for them and these were magnificent. And seriously...taking the "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan and applying them to mozzarella sticks?! top 10 achievements of the decade. The chicken parm was perfect - well seasoned, proper amount of crisp..the basil on top...the perfect browning of the cheese. Also the lasanga was excellent..and best part - the leftovers..took it home and the next two days put them in a small cast iron and re-heated them..and the magic was right there in my hill country kitchen! Lastly and certainly not least - the cannoli...just look at the photo below.. I'll say, yes, the place is pricey but you can really easily split these entrees and then it becomes cheaper than a jersey strip center Italian joint. I haven't stopped raving about Sammie's since I've been there, and I cannot wait to return, recommend it, and take friends and family that visit.

Back in the Dec. we did a guys trip to Austin and the culinary highlight of the weekend was Sammie's. Stepping through the doors felt like stepping into elegance and onto the set of Goodfellas. From the hostess to the waiters to the manager everyone was super attentive and on top of their game. You can't go wrong with anything from the bar. I have never been a fan of Negronis but the one at Sammie's changed my life! I order them everywhere I go now searching for that Sammie's Negroni high but nothing comes close to it. The food was EPIC! Take a look at my pics everything we ordered was prepared to perfection but I still dream about the veal which took the whole table to devour. Also the Caesar Salad was .

So when I found out they opened a brick-and-mortar location, I knew I had to come back. I re-ordered their Killer Noodles and loved how they kept that fun food truck feel in the presentation. It felt playful, quirky, and true to their roots. Their soft shell crab curry dish was also really impressive. It was a bit too spicy for me, but the flavors were bold, layered, and explosive in the best way. Based on what we tried, I have no doubt the rest of their menu is just as delicious. Definitely a fun spot to check out if you're looking for bold Thai flavors in Austin.

Great food, but I don't recommend sitting inside…read more Food: - Dipping Roti (10/10): Appetizer with 2 pieces of roti. Amazing dip that is slightly sweet and very flavorful. Would recommend highly! - Beef Dang Curry (8/10): Spicy and great flavored curry. The beef was tender, and it paired well with the potato. - Shrimp Pad Thai (9/10): Good amount of shrimp, and the noodles are amazing. Chili flakes did not add any spice. Very yummy overall. Service: Semi-hard to grab waitress' attention to get boxes for leftovers. They started cleaning the table while we sat there. Okay service, but could be better, Ambiance: Came here for dinner, and they seated us in the middle, where there was no AC running. Dark ambiance and busy atmosphere. Took about 30 minutes for 2 people to get seated! Very loud inside.
