My wife and I were actually headed to another restaurant, but decided to stop in at Aurora's for some groceries. I mentioned to my wife that these kinds of places often have kitchens and boy we were in luck. The man in charge, Albert, descended on us and started simultaneously asking what we wanted to order AND praising the virtues of his tamales, among other things. But he had me at "Birria". After being introduced to birria tacos by my lifelong friend, Joel, I have been a huge fan ever since. So we called an audible and decided to get an order for takeout (Albert could convince you to buy anything, I think). We got two orders of Corn QuesaBirria Tacos and the Jalapeño Popper Specialty Taco. Both were great and I especially liked the Birria Tacos, even eating my wife's portion... "You going to eat that?" Outside of the corner kitchen, convenience store is great, with all of the different varieties of foods, beers and other items that you would expect at Mexican convenience store. read more

We've only ordered via doordash, so this review is about the food only as I can't say anything about the ambiance or service. The food is good but I, personally, don't think I can eat here again. The tacos are greasy and I think whatever they use to cook gives me really bad gas (bloating). So if you're stomach-sensitive, I do not recommend. read more

I came here based off of the QuesaBirria Tacos and queso reviews. They did not disappoint! It was the bomb! Their staff is friendly and helpful. The only reason I gave this a 4 star review was because the establishment had a terrible urine smell as if a bathroom pipe had busted; I understand that they are located in the back of a convenient store and it may have been out of their control. Their kitchen was clean as I was just taking a look around. I just want to make sure us as customers are getting food in clean spaces entirely! Other than that, they have good food. read more

It's so cute in here. We had Chicken tacos and they were very good! And made fresh! I will be back very soon

I'm almost afraid to post this for fear it will get even busier, but I feel obligated to share how delicious the food is here. They are located inside of a convenience store, so we don't come here for the vibes lol. However, when you venture to the back wall where the restaurant is housed, you begin to understand why it's so packed, especially on a weekend. We were greeted at the counter with a smile and the delicious scents and sights of tamales being wrapped and steamed. Do not sleep on the quesobirria or the tamales (any of them)! We particularly love the poblano cheese and the Birria tamales. Call to order or go in store, you won't regret it. read more

I love the owners and food is very tasty haven't had anything from them I did not like and even with all my allergies they will make items to my order. Try there shrimp taco especially read more

Went in on a Saturday around 12:45 pm was busy, no where to sit down. Good sign right? It is inside of a gas station and has 4 tables. Placed order, table finally cleared after a few min however the food took a while to come out so idk how they prioritize their to-go orders since several ppl came/picked up food before we got our food. Their advertised Special (al pastor) (advertised on their tv and printed paper near register) not available because they had no trompo. Fine but that was why we came. Ordered the following: Birria Empanadas (3) Full Taco Plate (4) with rice and beans. Birria empanadas were good but would def be better as a taco. 3.5/5 Consume lacked flavor and pretty meaty, almost just tasted like seasoned grease. Taco plate (beef fajita) 1/5 stars. Terrible. I literally feel bad saying this but do better, not exaggerating. There was nothing fajita about this. It was like a a bad version of carne guisada. Literally stewed meat/mush. Rice and refried beans were great (no charro avl). Green salsa was very good. Staff was friendly but for the cost ($29) for 2 ppl $ not including drinks, it left more to be desired. read more

Absolutely worth the drive. We were feeling adventurous so we took a trip 20 min up of Georgetown to get some birria tacos at Aurora Family Kitchen (located in a convenience store) and my, oh my, what a great choice. I've had quite a few birria tacos in Austin and I've never felt they lived up to the crispy, flavorful sensation of what the internet says until now. Aurora makes it properly with two tortillas that are extra crispy on the outside and within, is melty strongly mozzarella cheese with a multidimensional broth. The rice had a hint of my Viet Cajun flavors in it so I was also ecstatic about that. We like being in Georgetown or small town because they also haven't lost their sense of customer service. The owner was great, nice enough to make recommendations and checked on us the entire time. We didn't even have to bus our own table! Everything photographed plus a large tamarindo drink was $27. read more

Albert and his fam are surreal and wonderful The prices are a bit fluctuating because some of the food is weighed or per ounce The rice is amazing The refried beans are awesome You must try the Birria The pork, chicken, and brisket tamales are the real deal Friends of mine love the nachos as well I could never say enough good about it here! Remember it's a small company and they prefer cash to pay just fyi but they understand if that's not the option too read more

Best Mexican food I have ever tasted hands-down. This is the only place that I will eat at or order from when I am home or when I am out and about, it is family orientated owned by the family. Great customer service skills great food. I have no complaints at all. If you are hesitant about eating here don't be I promise it won't let you down. read more

Found this place on yelp and really happy I did. Corner store vibe with a hidden gem. Grabbed some breakfast tacos for the road and they were better than I expected. I believe these were homemade tortillas, major plus. The green salsa was very good. Definitely going to try out lunch or dinner there in the near future. read more

Anything I order from here is delicious!! Staff is very friendly. Do recommend ordering from here.

Delicious birria! Drive there just for their tacos! Yummmmmmm Too bad it's in such a small space! Can't wait for them to have a restaurant!!! Come to Liberty Hill! read more

I simply LOVE their food! They're also friendly. I do wish their location was bigger and more noticeable but other than that it's great!

Inside a convenience store: don't let that dissuade you! Service was really nice, and made recommendations to us. We ended up ordering the corn quesabirria, pork tamales, burrito plate, and a chicken quesadilla plate. It was all delicious! We will be back! read more

I very rarely write reviews, admittedly. I'm also very skeptical of restaurants that have 100% 5-star reviews. And I say this with complete honesty -- this is a 5/5 restaurant. From chatting with the owner, this place is a true labor of love. The guacamole was 100% fresh and perfect. The birria was the best I've ever had; the consommé was bursting with flavor. The street tacos -- those corn tortillas are obviously homemade and sooooo good. We got a little cup of green salsa that was a beautiful punch of lime, avocado, cilantro, and heat in the mouth. Eat here. Just do it. We lived in TX for over a decade, moved away a couple years ago, and came back to do a swing through Dallas, FW, Austin, and SA. We've had SO MUCH Tex-Mex. THIS is the place we'll remember, the place we'll recommend to friends. read more

The street taco 11$ buy one get one free is the best value of quality and quantity I've ever tasted in my life. Amazing staff too read more

After a very full weekend my husband and I were driving home and looking for a quick and delicious dinner convenient to I-35. We saw Aurora's perfect score and decided to give it a try even though they were closing in 20 minutes. The owner could not have welcomed us more warmly assuring us it was no problem and took time to walk us through the menu. We ordered the Consomme de Birria, chicken tamales, brisket tamales, and he brought us his favorite taco as a complimentary bonus. Each item had such a depth of flavor, perfectly cooked, was so well balanced; it was all absolutely delicious!!! We left with appetites sated AND spirits revived. We experienced true hospitality and excellent food and cannot wait to return again soon! read more

Best tamales. I called ahead early in the week and ordered 4 dozen. Definitely did not disappoint.

Albert was very friendly and helpful in our selection process. The food was great and the recommended sauces were right on. The portions were most fulfilling...we could have shared a plate and been satisfied. We'll be back! read more

I've eaten here only twice, but the Birria is amazing! Stupid good!!! Cant wait to try the birria ramen next! read more

Picked up 3 dozen variety of tamales. Everyone had a favorite. Delicious. I love the brisket one the best. Unique.

Tamales are amazing not sure about the rest if their menu but if your looking for tamales place your orders.

Love this place! I frequently order from there since it's so close to home. My favorite is the Birria tacos and Quesadillas. Love all their tamales, especially the spicy pork. They do have the best,freshest tamales. Service is fast and friendly! Hole in the wall places are usually the best and most authentic! read more

Last year the tamales were good, though the communication was not so great. We gave them another try because of the quality of the tamales. Bad decision. We did not get our entire order, they were rude, and the tamales were dry. Unfortunately we will not be ordering from this establishment next year. read more

Food was too salty for me not in my particular cup of tea my wife makes Mexican food all the time they definitely don't hold up to what is Tasha doing don't think what is Giannis bad I just think the flavor that they're trying to get is not there for us we wish him well they've never been unpolite but they have been defended about what they cook no worries probably will order their younger self we push it down and Jarrell thank you read more

I'm a truck driver held up overnight here in Jarrell Tx. So I checked out what was in area. Very happy Aurora's popped up. Had Street Taco plate and half a dozen of the red chile pork tamales both excellent! read more

Always good. Love the menu choices and the ready to go tamales, Also all the tamale flavors!

Have had several items from their menu. All are tasty and authentic. You may think because of their location it won't be - you would be mistaken. The food is always fresh and the staff are friendly. read more

I had the pleasure of getting food from here on Thursday. When I say pleasure I mean pleasure! I ordered the Garditas plate mad with barbacoa. So very delicious and more than I could consume in one meal. I am sitting at home on Sunday and will be ordering take out to share this evening. Don't let the location fool you this is the best food around! read more

This place is great we have been getting food from here regularly for almost a year. They are located inside the Food Mart. The proprietor is extremely friendly, and helpful. He is very willing to accommodate any of your needs for your food order. The services are quick and friendly there is a small sitdown area inside the market for you to eat at. However they do offer takeout. The food is fantastic, and the prices are great. Their Quesadillas are great. They also offer Mexican staples like Menudo on certain days. Their barbacoa is probably the best I've had. They offer Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner options. Check out their Facebook ( Business Page ) for their daily specials. They also sell bulk tamales both savory and desert-style for great prices and they are really good too. So if you looking for great food and a family locally owned business Auroras is the place to try you won`t regret it. read more
