I'm not Mexican, so I'm not pretending to be an expert on Mexican food. I'm simply sharing this…read morefrom the point of view of someone who travels a lot and has tried Mexican food in many different places, all with their own style. And with that said, this was honestly the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. Taqueria El Compa was so good, I had to order twice. The first thing I tried was the agua de Jamaica, and you could immediately tell it was made from scratch. It was fresh, flavorful, not overly sweet, and the portion was generous. The cup was huge, about half a liter, and it was exactly what I needed after coming from the airport starving. For tacos, I first ordered three: chicken, beef, and carne asada. They were served on corn tortillas, not flour, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. They came topped with avocado, white onion, cilantro, and cucumber on the side, and every bite was delicious. The meat portions were generous, and the flavors were incredible. The green sauce was amazing, and the red sauce had real heat, so be careful if you're sensitive to spice. It was so good that I went back and ordered three more tacos. That says everything. The prices were also very fair. My first order, three tacos plus the agua de Jamaica, was only $16. My second order, three more tacos, was $12. For the quality, freshness, and portion size, I thought it was absolutely worth it. What made the experience even better was the service. I had almost finished my drink and asked if they could add a little more ice to my cup. Not only did she add ice, she added more agua de Jamaica too and didn't charge me anything extra. That kind of care means a lot. It felt like eating at a family member's house, where they genuinely want you to enjoy your food and leave happy. This place is clearly loved for a reason. While I was there, several people came in to order, mostly for takeout, so it definitely stays busy. I only found it because it was about 3 miles from the airport and had great reviews, and now I completely understand why. If I could give this place 100 stars, I would. The food was outstanding, the service was kind and generous, and the whole experience felt special. If I ever come back to Austin, I will absolutely return.

We ordered Al pastor tacos, quesabirria (3 for $14), and Bistec tacos - all with flour tortillas. The tortilla while fresh was slightly dry (I like mine a little more soft and lard-y), but the quesabirria was killed with melty cheese and hearty consommé! all came with two salsas and limes, very delish quick bite

You can hear her hand forming your pupusa/tortilla to order. Masa was cooked perfectly, tender yet crisp, not greasy. Great ratio of cheese & chicharron.

Every component works well together, from the potatoes and bacon to the eggs and grated cheese. It's filling, satisfying, and consistently hits the spot. The staff are also quick and attentive, which makes the experience even better. I've tried the fajitas as well, but they were just okay and not something I'd go out of my way to order again. Overall, this is still a solid 4/5 spot for me, especially if you're coming for the Don Juan.

Meches Mexican Restaurant (not to be confused with their taco stand a street down), has authentic Mexican food at decent prices (~$15/plate). It's definitely a hole in the wall with a somewhat uncomfortable vibe (mostly blue collar men staring at anything that looks out of place, especially young females). Meches might not be for everyone, but for the solid, authentic flavors without the usual Austin prices, it's worth a visit if you're ever in the area. Note: There's a 3% fee for credit card payments.

I had the chicken enchiladas with green/tomatillo sauce. The chips were authentic and the salsa did taste fresh.

I heard from my uber driver that they had really good barbacoa. It was tender, but I don't think I am inclined for the meat because it is always so oily. I really enjoyed the pastor the best. The tortillas and salsa were both great. The green one was spicy and a nice touch! I just love places like this. It just feels like a hole in the wall. As soon as you go in, you are greeted with groceries on the left, and then the typical gas station items. Then on the right, you see a meat/deli and a hot bar! They have lots of different types of meat and cuts. They use the same meats for the tacos and some of their items in their hot bar like fried chicken!
