Austin Taco Project

Honestly, some of the best, most authentic tacos you'll get here in Austin. Taqueria was actually…read morestarted by twin brothers from Mexico, and they wanted that same authentic feeling they had in their local taqueria here in Austin. The brothers traveled around different areas throughout the US trying different variations before deciding how they wanted to style the tacos. This place is in an alley, and it's very unassuming. It's actually considered a "reverse speakeasy" with a gorgous bar with a disco ball in the front, and mouthwatering food in the back. As everything in De Diez are made completely from scratch (including the tortillas), prices are very, very, fair. Service is fast and simple, your food is made in front of you by very friendly workers

When we were in Austin earlier this year we made sure to seek out Tex Mex, Mexican and Barbecue as…read morewe were exploring the city. We knew that Austin is a foodie city and it didn't disappoint in the slightest in hitting all those food types that we were wanting to try. We enthusiastically marked off "Mexican" by coming to Taqueria De Diez. It wasn't in our bookmarks to try. I believe we came across it in a Google search or a Yelp search and we're impressed with the review score and decided to go check it out. It didn't disappoint at all. The review score average definitely held up. We got tacos here. I got three Asada tacos and I have to say that these tacos are the best I have had in recent memory. And I am all about tacos. I mean I LOVE tacos so that is saying a lot as I am such a snob with Mexican food. I can say with quite a bit of confidence... and this is even a bigger statement... these tacos may very well be the best I have EVER had. Now, I know that's saying a lot but they were so, so good. Months later from our dining experience there I am still thinking about this place. So if I could give more than five stars I most certainly would. Sometimes the no frills restaurants are the best and that is kind of what's going on here. It somewhat arranged with placing your order a tad bit like a cafeteria (but not an actual cafeteria). You place your food order and then wait for it at the end. Lots of customers take their orders to go but there is spots where you can dine in also. Steve and I did just that and we sat and enjoyed our tacos. So what makes me praise these tacos so much? I don't know for sure but the roll out of flavor on your tongue was just magical. The steak I imagine was prepared with perfection and got all of the tender, loving care it needed to be as amazing as it was. The rest of the toppings were great too as well as the sauces and the taco sized tortillas were probably a likely suspect as well in their perfection. It was so perfect. Taco bliss indeed. I long for these tacos again and if we are even somewhat close to Austin seeking this place out will be a no brainer for us.

What do I mean by this, well you need to make sure you can find parking because this place is so delicious that it's packed most of the times I have visited. The burritos are generously sized but not over bloated or making your feel bloated, stuffed with tender meat of your choice, well-seasoned filling, and wrapped tight enough to stay together all the way to the last bite. Every one I've had has felt fresh and satisfying without being heavy. The tacos are just as impressive. The tortillas are warm and soft, and the fillings are bursting with flavor, from perfectly seasoned meats to fresh toppings like cilantro, onion, and a bright salsa that ties everything together. A squeeze of lime over the top and you've got a taco that's hard to stop eating. You will be offer corn or flour tortilla. For al pastor meat, my choice is flour and for carne asada my choice is always corn. The service is friendly and quick, even when the line is long, and the prices are fair for the quality you get. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite on your break or feeding a crowd, Las Trancas delivers every time. Highly recommended. Once, you have place your order you will receive a beeper to let you know when it is ready. I say my wait time has been less than five minutes honestly. They have covered and open seating. This is a great food truck that is a must try!!

Al pastor is on the more firm side rather than fatty soft pieces, I think it's a decent balance although would've liked a bit more soft (personal preference). I would come back if I was in this part of Austin again, and was really craving some reliable tacos. It's not impressive enough for me to go out of my way to eat, but it's a really good choice if you're passing through already. They're also very quick to get the food out, and the seating area is outdoors but has fans in some spots.

I came to respect Cuantos Tacos grudgingly …read more.. But I now see what all the fuss is all about. Cuantos Tacos is a Yelper favorite and a food critic favorite. My one experience with them was when they were the stars of the show at a Yelp Elite event. They were doing three to ten times their normal volume. I think the huge onrush of customers led them to have a less than excellent day. * * * I tried them again under more leisurely conditions. I now see the merits in their fine establishment. One thing to get on the record first. They make a big fuss over their nixtwhatever tortillas. The tortillas here are no big deal. Talk meat fillings and talk salsas ... And everything is different. The tacos start to glow The food angels start singing their hymns. Their carnitas are absolutely positively insane. I know some knowledgeable Mexican food connoisseurs who praise some other carnitas in town. In some case those praises are deserved. But in my not-even-remotely-humble opinion, Cuantos serves the best carnitas in town. Hands down and thumbs up. I sat and marveled at those babies. Their green salsa was mild, complex and was the perfect accompaniment to the carnitas. I left the foodstand with renewed respect. * * * For the record - other Yelpers have come here and have had the same ambivalent first reactions that I did. It is probably fair to say that Cuantos has its on days and its off days. If they are on an on day, prepare for a treat.

Very good but not great IMO. Was super excited to try this place after reading all of the hype…read more Finally had a chance to check it out on the way to SA.

Apparent regulars got a friendly recognition by the front of house when they got to the front of the line. I had a Migas and a Taco Jefe. The fill ratio was correct: I was able to hold it closed without really squeezing, and better, nothing was soggy to weaken the very lightly warmed tortilla. But I wanted a higher salt level in the eggs and steak, and some crisp on both proteins would've improved texture balance. It's pretty solid. I think my mom would give it a 5. But for me, it's a solid 4.

I walked into this unassuming restaurant and perused the menu, which felt like Mexican tarot cards. Pictures. Titles. Small description. It all looked basic. But simple food made with fresh ingredients and seasoned well has won Michelin stars. Unfortunately, I don't foresee them receiving one. The al pastor taco was tasty. The steak taco had too much fat in it. If I was strictly bashing this review on the food. I'd give it a three. It's not worth the price. Now, the service seemed to be decent until I didn't put a tip on my takeout order. Things seemed to go south. When my name was called, I grabbed the small paper bag and paused. No guacamole. If I hadn't have looked, I could've walked a really long wasteful before noticing. Maybe long enough to not go back. The last behind the counter, said okay I'll get it. It felt like a chore. I said thank you and made the long walk fighting the heat of the dragon's breath once again. The story does not stop there, I thought 3 tacos, a drink, and guacamole couldn't honestly cost $43. The guilt of spending that kind of money on such little food that was also just average, screamed in my conscience. Well, that was because the woman also had not given me my tres leches, which was going to be for my wife. I took the long walk back, stood at the counter for what felt like 10 minutes,and again it felt like a chore to get me what I paid for. No sorry. I would suggest taking a little longer walk to Taqueria de Diez

The tacos were absolutely amazing...Moroccan spiced lamb taco, rib eye barbacoa taco, and pork belly pastor taco. Fantastic but deserts were mediocre and the southern donut dish was gooey and bland and the orange tres leche cake was just a dry cupcake with a little whip cream on the side. I only gave them two stars because I ate there while staying at the Hilton on a Tuesday and they are open until 1:30 am. I decided to eat there again on Wednesday and they closed three hours early and with no warning because they were slow. Pissed me off. If you have hours, stick to them and don't just arbitrarily change them. read more

Overall, the atmosphere is a big plus, and the burger was worth it, but the service and some of the food could use improvement.
