    Chorizo and egg on flour, and bacon and egg
    Michael H.

    Going south for Sunday breakfast tacos. Way Down on Williams Cannon at Taqueria Morales. Same first order as everywhere. Chorizo and egg and bacon and egg on flour tortillas. First time in a long time that I preferred the bacon. Crushed up with the eggs. Well cooked. One of the best bacon and egg on town. Chorizo was good, but I'd actually order the bacon here. Tortillas are good. A bit rubbery, but heated up right before serving. Good volume on the tacos Two is a meal at $2.50 each. Recommend.

    At this point I've had every taco on the menu delicious every single time. If you're a real taco lover look at the tortilla it tells you everything and made delicious. Always plenty of filling and lots of flavor one of my definite go to spots for the delicious taco. It's cash only still have your money ready worth every penny.

    Oh the Taco life, On this occasion looking for a taco stand my friend suggested this taco food truck based on his search within the Yelp App, although I have lived in Austin for a long time and I know the area I had never eaten in this place, in general it was a good experience and I would definitely go back or recommend to my friends based on the following: - The location is accessible, open area and looked clean although the signs in the parking lot by Precision Tune Auto Care leave one wondering if they could take your car while you eat, it may seem like a stretch but in the end we are in Austin and I have seen all. - The tacos had a good flavor, the portions of the ingredients were enough for the taco to barely close, one sauce per taco and obviously I am excited to see that the tortillas were made by hand, the experience with the food in general was good. - They only accept cash and here is the part that I couldn't give it 5/5 especially after the pandemic, I understand that the commissions from POS services and transactions are not so friendly for this type of business but the potential of accepting cards and contactless payments in terms of generating more customer traffic sometimes deserves it and also the convenience for the customer. - The service was good and we didn't wait more than 5 minutes for our tacos. En esta ocasión buscando un puesto de tacos mi amigo me sugirió esta taqueria basada en su búsqueda dentro de la App de Yelp, aunque llevo viviendo por mucho tiempo en Austin y conozco el area nunca había comido en este lugar, en general fue una buena experiencia y definitivamente podría regresar o recomendarle a mis amigos basado en lo siguiente: - La ubicación es accesible, area abierta y se veía limpio aunque los señalamientos en el estacionamiento por parte de Precision Tune Auto Care dejan a uno pensando si podrían llevarse tu coche mientras comes, tal vez parezca exagerado pero al final estamos en Austin y he visto de todo. - Los tacos tenían un buen sabor, las porciones de los ingredientes era suficiente para que el taco apenas cerrara, una salsa por taco y obviamente me emociona el ver que las tortillas eran echas a mano, la experiencia con la comida en general fue buena. - Solo aceptan efectivo y aquí es la parte por la que no pude darle 5/5, especialmente después de la pandemia, entiendo que las comisiones por parte de los servicios de POS y transacciones no son tan amigables para este tipo de negocio pero el potencial de aceptar tarjetas y pagos contactless en cuanto a generar mas trafico de clientes a veces lo amerita y también la conveniencia para uno como cliente. - El servicio fue bueno y no esperamos más de 5 minutos por nuestros tacos.

    Very good stuff! Had to get a wheel repaired on my car at the shop next door and had an early morning appointment. Luckily, I didn't have time to grab a bite to eat before I left the house. This gave me a reason to stop by and get a couple tacos for breakfast. They were delicious and prepared quickly while I waited. Will definitely be back when I'm nearby in the future.

    Waaaaaaaay better than decent burritos. And, while they're a little small, they're appropriately priced. And sooooo very good. Great burritos, tacos, and...great breakfast tacos too. Cash only. Enjoy the crispy carnitas. Seriously.

Once you're inside, though, the whole operation runs with impressive efficiency. You order at the register, take your receipt, and hand it off to one of the taco guys behind the counter. As the sign says, "No Ticket, No Taco!" so don't lose it. Seating is limited and the line can get long, but they move fast. And don't come expecting cheese or sour cream -- the only add‑ons here are cilantro, onions, salsa, and guacamole. It's a stripped‑down menu, and they stick to it. The tacos are solid. The beef isn't anything remarkable, but the chicken is tender, moist, and genuinely flavorful. The quesadilla is the sleeper hit; the baked cheese gives it a deep, savory punch that outshines the tacos. And if you're hungry or just want the best value, the burritos are enormous -- stuffed right up to the tortilla's structural limit. A hidden little alley spot that delivers quick service, simple options, and reliably good food once you manage to find the door.

These flavors make it all the way into every bite, carried by a guacamole sauce that'll coat your tongue. Everyone I saw there left their plates empty. If you go - and you'll feel more alive if you do - make sure to accept the works. The onions and cilantro greatly balance each bite, while the salsa and guacamole are necessary and fundamental to tying the flavors together.. Despite their popularity, service remains lightning fast. The reluctantly bilingual cooks practically seize your order ticket to guide you through the process. This is my second taco journey to Austin and I haven't found better.

    Eldorado Cafe continues to be a great Austin spot for flavorful, comforting Tex-Mex…read more We started with the small guacamole, salsa, and Eldorado Queso, which made for a great combination to share before the meal. For our entrées, we had Brian's Alambre Plate, the Chicken Mole, and the Line Cook's Snack Plate. Brian's Alambre Plate combines sirloin, pork pastor, house-made chorizo, and bacon with peppers, onions, and melted Jack cheese. It was good and certainly offers plenty of variety and flavor. For my personal taste, though, if I am primarily craving meat, I prefer Eldorado's Carne Guisada. There is nothing wrong with the Alambre, I just think the Carne Guisada is the stronger choice for me. The Chicken Mole is my wife's favorite, and unfortunately it is only offered as a special late on Thursdays. The house-made mole has a rich, distinctive flavor that works very well with the chicken, and it is easy to understand why she looks forward to it. The Line Cook's Snack Plate was also a great combination with two flautas, a choice of Chicken Caldo or Texas Red, Eldorado rice, and guacamole salad. It is a nice option when you want a little bit of several things rather than one large entrée. Overall, another very enjoyable meal at Eldorado Cafe. Good food, plenty of variety, and enough different flavors on the menu that everyone can find a favorite. We certainly have ours!

I enjoyed the chips they bring out with your choice of complimentary salsa. If you want to sample all the salsas they offer, you can do so for an additional fee.

The sides were great as well and complemented the steak nicely. I had the Watermelon Agua Fresca to drink. It was refreshing, but not my favorite watermelon drink I've had. Overall, I loved the steak and was impressed with the quality of the food! A couple of things could be improved, though. Some of the light fixtures hang way too low, so if you're tall, be careful! Also, the back-of-house area spilling into the restaurant space feels a little odd and takes away from the overall atmosphere.

Arriba Abajo as you walked in just gave me all the vibes of a happening place when you want to hang out with friends and have a great time. We ordered the braised ribs rolled tacos for appetizers. It was so fresh and kicking' with all kinds of flavors. I wish I had ordered another one. The avocado sauce layered on the bottom was just enough to keep wanting more. For lunch I ordered the Carneasada Fajitas with chimichurri and my husband ordered the Carneasada Taqueria. With my fajitas came a side of frijoles, green rice & flour tortillas. Corn flour was the other option. Both meals came in pipin' hot & the smell coming from both was very aromatic, zesty & spice.

We were happy to accommodate, but then the service was noticeably slow (both for drinks and for food). Price points were high (but, I suppose not unexpected for a hotel restaurant). The spot we were in just felt like limbo between guests enjoying the pool and people inside enjoying A/C and good music. May give it another shot down the road.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
