    Shrimp And pork tacos. Fantastic.
    Loren R.

    What a treat. Succulent packed tacos. Fresh home made salsa and guac And a shot of tequila.

    Meagan L.

    Laid back little taco joint attached to the Hilton Downtown Austin. Sarah my server was very kind and engaging. Decided to try the shrimp tacos because that was what people recommended. They were fresh and delicious. I'll be back for sure!

    Happy Hour Menu

    I was staying at the Hilton Austin hotel and needed a quick bite, so I decided to check out Austin Taco Project downstairs--perfect timing since it was happy hour! I started with the Banana Daiquiri. I'll admit, I was hesitant at first, but I'm so glad I gave it a shot. The first sip had a fun banana Laffy Taffy vibe, but the lime really came through and balanced out the sweetness. Surprisingly delicious! For food, I went with the Tater Tots, which were loaded with queso, ground beef, poblano crema, pico, and hot sauce. The portion was generous, and the flavors really came together nicely. Each bite was packed with a delicious mix of cheesy, spicy, and savory goodness. The overall vibe of Austin Taco Project is laid-back and fun, with TVs, a pool table, and games scattered around. It's a great spot to relax, grab a drink, and enjoy some flavorful bites. Highly recommend for anyone staying nearby or looking for a fun happy hour spot!

    Bugs in this place under dining tables GROSS
    Beth H.

    Updated: A Busser (I think because he served us water when we sat) came over and said he wanted to make it right. That he would make fresh eggs and indeed eggs were freshly cooked however, I can only give them one more star because while I was eating my eggs, I noticed a employee crush one of the bugs that I mentioned below and kick it 3 times across the restaurant to the bar area. WTH Bacon had no flavor but maybe they pull it together for lunch or the alcohol drinks are good but I would never eat here for breakfast. Especially since Austin has so many great breakfast places ‍ Breakfast is terrible Staying at Hilton and the buffet is crazy overpriced 31 and food looks to have been sitting or cooked ages ago so I chose to get 4 fresh eggs and bacon I asked if they made them fresh and just did not grab them from the boxed eggs in Buffett. they said they are made fresh to order and clearly not My glossy cold eggs came right from buffet Had to send back and chose to skip breakfast and Sorry Hilton associates with this place. We will have to find breakfast elsewhere Do not recommend this place Also we've seen 4 bugs on the floor as you see in picture

    I could remember if I reviewed this place or not but this is a pretty cool restaurant at the hotel that you can get a quick bite at. My girlfriend and I ate here about a year ago and we used our diamond reward for the breakfast and I got to say the breakfast burritos were really good. I also want to say we had lunch here too or something. I can't remember but I know for a fact we both really enjoyed the breakfast burritos. I believe they still open late, which is nice. If you're looking for a quick bite , this is a spot to give a try. I remember giving them a five star because the breakfast burrito was actually quite good. If you're staying at this hotel, you don't feel like going far. You have some pretty good options here with their food selections .

    Quick tasty bites in the Hilton Austin Hotel. Happy hour menu is on point. Prices are cheap too.

    Cactus tacos and side of black beans
    Natalie R.

    I had lunch here during SXSW. Great food and service! The cactus tacos were flavorful and served piping hot (temp, not spice). There is a nice spacious patio next to the light rail. They have gluten free options. My husband has Celiac disease and asked the server about ordering. She was honest and advised they aren't able to accommodate someone with celiac disease (try to avoid cross contamination) due to the use of flour tortillas in addition to corn tortillas. We appreciated her honesty and he opted to just order a drink. So I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone with Celiac disease or a wheat allergy.

    Best restaurant in Austin! We ate at several different restaurants, and ATP was definitely our favorite! We had the Baja Shrimp Tacos - a little spicy for me, but OH, the flavor! They were absolutely delicious! My husband really enjoyed the carne asada tacos. Their chips were delectable also! Our server was Vincent. He was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. We wish we had eaten here before when we first got to Austin. The restaurant inside the main section of the Hilton is NOT good, so we really regretted discovering ATP on the last day of our visit. We highly recommend ATP! Yum!

    I was staying in the Hilton and appreciated the convenience of the location. I was seated quickly. The waitress was a little spastic and awkward. Food was beautiful and the tacos were good but way overpriced. The drink didn't make it out until I was almost finished with my meal. I would try a different restaurant in the future. There are was too many REALLY good Mexican food in Austin to choose this again.

    Brisket tacos
    Eric P.

    Was in town for a conference and stayed in the hotel attached to this spot. I came in on a Sunday before noon. It was not packed at all so I was greeted and seated super quick. Decided to sit in the bar area. Since I'm in TX, I decided to first try the brisket tacos. These are street taco size and very tasty with a slight kick. Decided to order the asada and crispy fish tacos. Didn't care for the asada but the crispy fish taco was very good. Service is really good here and very attentive. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

    My first time ever trying Michelin star tacos!…read more Suedero tacos and they were amazing! Juicy, tender, and with a squeeze of lime and salsa (red plus green) it was perfect! Like your girl can eat tacos but I had never been one to be like let's go get some cause I am craving them. But man cuantos tacos can definitely get me saying I want and crave them! I thought prices were pretty fair at 2.75 a piece. After much researchon what to eat in Austin this is one of the spots that I saved as a bookmark.While I was in Austin, a foodie friend on Instagram shared with me her list of recommendations since she just moved to Austin not too long ago. I knew that Ihad to stop by Cuantos Tacos, I mean how often do you see a Michelin BibGourmand taco truck. We came here for dinner but it was cold, sprinkling, anddark out. Tables they had were wet from the sprinkle.  My family only triedthe suadero taco ($2.75 per taco) but OMG it was the best thing we ate duringour trip in Austin. It was super memorable, the meat was soft and the salsaadded the perfect kick to it. It's been a month, my husband and I are still daydreamingabout these tacos.  Tacos are madepretty fast, we had to order tacos 3x since they were so good, we kept wantingmore. Wait time was super reasonable. Staff are nice and if I lived closer Ican see myself coming here every taco Tuesday! This definitely is a must go tospot if you like tacos.   Tips: *Small parking lot *Outdoor seating only *Credit card accepted *Porta Potty in theback (night time it is pretty dark and hard to see) *They cater. *You can also orderonline for pick up. Tips: Credit card and cash accepted. Outdoor seating option only. Restroom is port a potties. Located in an area with other food trucks.

    These tacos are really tasty and even better the salsa was amazing…read more One could easily get one of each taco to try them all because they are pretty small. Making them costra style to add cheese for 50c is a nice touch too. The picnic seating kinda leaves a lot to be desired, my table was very broken. Staff is friendly and helpful in the truck!

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.

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.
