    The food was good, and the lady who took our order and made the food was super friendly. But it's definitely overpriced for the portion sizes.

    Nice seating area

    Indulging my newfound passion for Birria tacos, I found this place on a list of Austin's best, so I went for lunch on this warm and windy December day. The setting is fun, a parking lot across from Chinatown Center on North Lamar. There's easy parking and covered tables. Service was friendly and presented no challenge to my limited Spanish. I was there for the Birria Tacos, and liked that he asked how many I wanted. Other places have had a set plate of three. I ordered two. I like the consommé I've had for dipping on the side of previous tacos, so I asked for a small. For a drink, a Topo Chico. The menu posted was tattered and torn, with no posted prices, but at a taco truck, I figured it wouldn't be much. The tacos were tasty. The flavor was deep and complex, the cheese nicely gooey. I wished the outside had been grilled to a crisp like I've had at other places, but it was no big deal. The side of consommé was bigger than the tiny dip I was used to, about the size of a small coffee cup, and full of tasty chunks of meat and onion. I was pretty pleased with my lunch. But the bill was a surprise. 21 dollars!? Turns out the tacos were $4 each, which is fine. My "side" of consommé was a hefty $8. More than I bargained for, but I took most of it home and it will make a light lunch. But $5 for a bottle of Topo Chico? Yikes! I got a pretty good lunch, and learned a very good lesson. If the prices aren't posted--ASK!!

    Revolting. WHY ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED!!! Disgraceful. I spent $100+ here giving them multiple chances but won't be back again. If you don't have eggs today, just say so. Or are they just getting by on people who come once and never return? Paid $10 (plus tip) for 3 Migas tacos that were 95% fake velveeta-style cheese with specks of egg and tortilla chips for decoration and a solid mass of what ever that cheese product is made of. No joke there could not have been even one whole egg split among the 3 tacos, maybe 1/2 an egg literally on the top to partially disguise the cheese. Which visibly resembles shredded Mexican velveeta not entirely melted in spite of asking for un poco dorados. Thanks for returning the $10 tho. Won't be back. Another day, spent $20 for 5 tacos, the 3 chicken tacos had 1.5-2 oz. of meat to be generous each and 50% or more was whole chunks of boiled chicken skin.

    Birria tacos

    First time to stop here and I've been passing it even before they had moved here. I picked up the birria tacos and dear god they were great. Full of flavor and the consume for dipping was also great and flavorful. I definitely plan to try some of their other food. I downed one taco before I took a picture.

    Beef cheek tacos, chicharron tacos and birria tacos

    Don't walk, run to this food truck! You know it's legit when the menu is only pictures and you're trying to guess half of it. If you had to only order one item, you have to try their birria tacos : grilled crispy outer cheese shell, gooey melted cheese and birria meat inside. Their consommé was tasty and had deep infused flavors. My husband tried their beef cheek and chicharron tacos as well, just as delicious. We officially found the best birria tacos in Austin and will be back often!

    Fish taco

    Our empty stomachs and cash-filled pockets were ready for a taco truck crawl down North Lamar today. But we got blissfully stuck at our first stop, Taquito Aviles! Mario, the delightful owner, recommended the goat tacos with an accompanying goat stew. We also got beef enchiladas with Chile con carne, elote from the gods, and a fish taco. Elote and goat stew, is my new last meal before I die or the meal I could eat everyday for the rest of my life. This glimpse into heaven is soulful, delicious and accepts credit cards.

    Birra Tacos with Queso and small Consume
    Chanel M.

    Felt like tacos yesterday so I visited for the first time in awhile. We ordered 5 Birra Tacos with Queso, 2 small cups of Consume and a Can of Coke which came out to $24. The food was delicious! My daughter later decided to try their Pineapple Aguas Fresca and that was amazing.

    The delicious dish I sampled (#20)
    Paige M.

    The owner greeted me right away and he was so kind, while I was waiting I got to try the #20 & my white taste buds were shot to cloud 9! He's got some great recipes and the family that was having dinner there would agree, the kiddos seemed to like the food & neighborhood cats in the area (as did I). There's plenty of table space and it's nice & clean. Thank you Mario!

    I tried the Birria Tacos here and OH MY GOSH I have not stopped thinking about them. They were so yummy and the service was great! The food truck is run by the sweetest man and he was so kind!! This place is amazing and you definitely need to try it if you're in Austin!

    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

My coworkers explored a variety of menu options, and every dish received rave reviews: the Carne Asada entrée, Ribeye tacos, Enchiladas Suizas, Chicken Mole Poblano, and Carnitas tacos--all executed beautifully and packed with authentic taste. And of course, the Guacamole and Queso Fundido remains one of my personal favorites--fresh, flavorful, and always a must-order for the table. Between the consistently great food, crowd-pleasing drinks, and overall experience, I'll definitely be back again soon. La Popular never disappoints!

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!

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!
