Ordered via doordash on a Friday night. A friend and I got the 6 pack of mini tacos, pastor style. We also ordered two vampiro tacos with steak. The mini tacos were delicious. They gave us two sauces, a green (spicy!) and a red. I loved the red sauce! Unfortunately, instead of giving us the two vampiro tacos, they have us two MORE orders of the mini tacos with steak. Bummed I didnt get to try that taco, but I cant be mad about 12 mini tacos lol. The steak version was just as good as the pastor! Everything was hot and packaged well, would definitely order again! read more

Toyloco is a cute, delicious food truck right next to HEB! They have outdoor seating in the form of picnic tables around the front of the truck. I got the California Burrito! They burrito was big, full of the good stuff (lots of guacamole!) and delicious. The house-made sauce they gave to pair with it was also tasty and not too spicy. I also ordered a cup of horchata - sweet and mild - the best cup of horchata I had! The lady who was serving us from the truck was also very nice and quick. Would definitely recommend for taco and burrito lovers! read more

Taco trucks on the East side generally tend to be good and Toyloco is pretty decent. They got all the meats and the meats are very flavorful, regardless of which you pick. My personal favorites are probably the al pastor and the grilled fish. Both of them are moist and your prototypical renditions of the classics. Your tacos also come with red or green salsa and all of them pack a wallop of heat so be warned. The mini tacos also come with some cucumber and limes, which is a refreshing cooling tool. It's a good balance of fresh, acidity and flavorful fatty meat. That said, what I can't get past is the corn tortillas they used. Mine tasted almost stale, like the really cheap ones from the supermarket that tend to give corn tortillas a bad rep. I like corn tortillas generally but like the case of sushi where the rice base is just as important, if not more important to the dish, tortillas need to be good to go with the meat. Maybe my order was an abberation, but at least for now that's what holds Toyloco back. read more

One of those late night discoveries after day drinking. The tacos here are amazing! I got the steak, fish tacos and a gringa while my friend got 3 steak tacos. We also got chips with salsa and guacamole. The tacos are pretty small but it's only $3 and full of flavor. I thought the fish tacos was amazing . I'll definitely have to come back and get one of each flavor next time. read more

Delicious little food truck in East Austin! Really enjoyed my first visit and definitely plan to visit to try a few more tacos or gorditas. They've got several tables for seating and plenty of great options to choose from on a Thursday evening. We ordered several of the tacos (asada, carnitas, al pastor, etc. each around $2-$3). Highly recommend the salsa verde- it pairs well on all their options! read more

Move over, Veracruz. The people have spoken and there's a new mayor in Taco Town. From the good ol' days of Torchy's and Tacodeli to crowd favorites Pueblo Viejo and Discada, there is a taco stand on virtually every corner of this city. Personally, I would never have the courage to open up a taco truck and brave the fierce competition. Lucky for us, Toyloco was up for the challenge. Their tacos aren't quite your typical cebolla-cilantro street tacos or your over-the-top queso-on-fried-chicken gringo tacos, but a perfect middle ground. Did you know you could put a fried egg in a taco? I didn't. To me, Toyloco's tacos are authentic tacos, enhanced and perfected. Some pickled red onions here, some queso fresco there, an avocado or two, and BOOM, you have yourself heaven on a tortilla. And did I mention that these are the best tortillas in town? Crispy but not crunchy. Light yet scrumptious. As round as they are delicious. A thing of beauty if you ask me. And the PRICE IS RIGHT. Nothing on the menu over $4, most hover a little under $3. Now, it is important to note that these tacos are slightly smaller than what you may be used to, so I recommend getting three (four if you're starving). So you're still walking away with a meal in the $10 range. I'll take it. Also, they're very quick on your order. I love me some Veracruz and Pueblo Viejo, but those 30-45 min wait times are killer. If you're hungry and can't deal with a wait, this place is a no-brainer. In conclusion, did I just discover this place three weeks ago? Yes. Have I been five times since? No comment. I recommend the taco favorito, the loco taco, fish, and shrimp. read more

This place is SO GOOD. I went here on a whim after going to HEB with an out-of-town guest who is notoriously picky. We got barbacoa tacos and shrimp tacos. OMG they were delicious and the best meal we had while she was here. My husband was out of town at the time and I took him there the very next week. He freaked out. We had the gobenador shrimp, a fish taco, and the mini chicken gorditas. Lots of those full-mouth MMMMMs punctuated the meal. And the next day he said, as if he were recalling a lovely vacation, he was still thinking about how good everything had been. The price is right, too. I hesitated to write this in fear of the place getting mobbed by the Austin hordes, but it certainly deserves to be. read more

This place popped up on Uber Eats so I decided to give it a go. Ordered a shrimp burrito and a shrimp taco. Shrimp Burrito - I know burritos are dead to Austin, but I've had some delicious burritos in my time here, and this burrito is no exception. The shrimp was legit sized and well-grilled, and the burrito was packed with everything you want in a burrito (guac included!). Not as big as a burrito you'd get from some of those fast places like Chipotle or Freebirds, but definitely better tasting. Shrimp Taco - shrimp taco was also delicious, came on a doubled corn tortilla with pretty standard shrimp taco toppings (queso fresco, red cabbage, etc.). Overall quite tasty. Salsas - word of warning, the roasted red salsa is HOTTER than the creamy green salsa verde. This goes against all Austin taco conventions, where the creamy green looking salsa is always the spiciest. However, the flavor of both salsas was amazing, as I found myself switching back and forth between them. The burrito and taco held up without the salsas, but I enjoyed the nice kick every couple of bites. Next time I need to take some pics. Take my word for it and try them out! read more

New taco joint with legit, finger-licking Mexico City style tacos (I'm from there, Chilanga from head to toe, so I can tell you). I had six mini pastor tacos for $7. The tortillas were clearly homemade, delicious, and didn't break at all. As tradition, the pastor was topped with fresh pineapple, cilantro and raw onion. The onions were toasted just slightly to reduce the bite. His homemade red salsa was the most perfect finishing touch. Make sure to ask for it! Not only is the food delicious, but it is served by the owner and chef. His name is Jose, and he is incredibly attentive and kind. Make sure to say hi. I will definitely make this my new regular taco spot. Gracias Jose por traerme un cachito de casa a Austin. read more

Place can be absolutely fire, if they get the order right. Would recommend ordering in person. They just can't seem to ever get our order right, and this is from over 20 different times ordering a DoorDash. Again, some of the best street tacos in Austin, but can be a huge bummer when they just flat out don't read the order ticket correctly. To consistently forget things is either a bagger issue or a language barrier. If you ask for extra anything, I promise you aren't getting it. read more

I am so excited to discover this incredible stand that's open late too. When I arrived, Jose patiently listened as I explained my wheat allergy and then he made gluten-free beef tacos that rocked my world. No alergic reaction - and I'm quite sensitive. The red salsa he makes himself was the perfect spicy touch. I especially like his choice of sweet onions slightly grilled to bump the sweet up a bit. Of course, cilantro and all the fix'ns too.

Boy, am I glad we did this--it was the perfect way to try a little bit of everything and compare favorites side by side. Sauderos - One of my top choices. Great texture and flavor with a nice richness to it. That said, carnitas and longaniza still edged it out for me. Cachete - Almost felt like a milder cousin to the carnitas. I personally preferred the milkier flavor profile of the carnitas, but this was still delicious and incredibly satisfying. Buche - Softer and mushier than I would typically like in a meat filling, but the flavor itself was undeniably good. Texture held it back a bit for me. Carnitas - A classic milkiness that's genuinely hard to beat. Rich, comforting, and probably one of my favorite carnitas I've had so far. Definitely a standout. Longaniza - I've never really been a chorizo person... until now. This completely changed my mind. Deep red color, intensely meaty flavor, rich without being overwhelming--easily one of my favorites of the bunch. Champiñones - More flavorful and spicier than I expected. The mushrooms had a pleasantly chewy texture instead of turning mushy, which I appreciated a lot. Great mushroom flavor overall. Revuelta - Not actually on the menu, but something we personally requested. Delicious combination of meats, though tasting everything back-to-back made this one come across a bit saltier. Still, the pairing worked really well and made for a satisfying bite. The sauces deserve a mention too. The green sauce packed noticeably more heat and leaned herbaceous, while the red sauce had a beautiful smokiness that completely won both my best friend and me over. Service was honestly one of the fastest and most efficient I've seen from a food truck. Everything moved quickly and smoothly despite the steady flow of people. My only real downside had nothing to do with the food itself--I hated standing outside at 8 PM dealing with bugs while eating, but that's more the nature of the setup than the fault of the truck. Overall, I was genuinely impressed by the meat quality and how distinct each taco felt from the next. Carnitas and longaniza were the clear winners for me, but there honestly wasn't a bad taco in the lineup.

Other than that, food was solid. Outdoor area was nice. Would come back again!

Stellar ambiance and those orange neon bulbs bring a great atmosphere for a downtown taco place but…read morethe place was so affordable. They charge only $5 for a taco and they have a level of spiceness. They also have a bar inside. You need to order at the counter and they serve at the table. My order: Fried Avocadao The taco was not tiny and it was filling. I have never tried a fried avocado so it was exciting and turned out to be nice along with bean and cheese!

Tucked away in a building across from Popeye's, this charming little restaurant doesn't have a wide…read morevariety to choose from--but what they offer is pretty special and definitely worth a visit. I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.

I personally don't eat breakfast tacos usually, but the breakfast tacos here are delicious. Out on…read morea whim, happen to drive by and saw this place. Decided to come in and the cashier greeted us and was really nice and patient because of questions with the menu. The Taco Bueno is what I had ordered and requested no potato. Sat down and after a few seconds, chips & salsa was delivered. Then after a few minutes, the food came. Quick service for sure and the food, AMAZING. Anyone reading this, try this place out and if u like it, come back! Cuz we are for sure =D
