    one Portabello and one Black Beans & Avocado
    Christopher T.

    They don't offer their breakfast menu at night (so, no migas tacos for me.) "One Portabello and one Black Beans & Avocado, please." You might assume certain things about the guacamole because it's squeezed from a bottle but it's actually quite impressive. There's nothing about any single component of these tacos that will blow your mind but all together, it's still a pretty good experience. (There are a fair amount of 1-star reviews for this truck but if you notice, almost every single one of them is based on an UberEats order. Perhaps the issue is with UberEats and not the truck. Just something noteworthy to mention.) [Ranked as #48 on my taco list of 146 locations: AustinTacoMojo.com]

    Best campechana in town. This food truck is located on the grounds of the white horse bar. The campechana is the only tacos I've tried and I'll always continue to come back. It is perfectly spicy with a sweet spin (they put pineapple in their campechana). I'm not sure if the tortillas are homemade, but they were tasty- not my favorite, but not bad. Now, I must write this with a caveat, the campechana is made differently by different cooks. Sometimes the tacos are good, not great and other times, it is cooked to perfection. Anyways, I'd recommend giving this place a try.

    We got an airbnb near by and was craving for some food around 9PM and went to 6th street hoping there was some food we can grab around there. Most of the places were closing down at 10PM, so we went out to grab food kinda late. We were told from one of the restaurant that The White Horse had some food trucks that are open late which was this. We walked here and saw that the taco truck is gated in and connects with the bar. Approaching the bouncer, he was very rude and not helpful at all. We ignored him and just had 2 people go in to get some tacos because that's what we came there for. We got a bunch of different types of tacos from pastor, bistec, beef fajitas to hawaiian. The hawaiian was delicious! They were $4 each and a large portion. I would definitely giving the hawaiian tacos a try. I give the tacos a 5 star and the service at The White Horse itself a 2! If I'm ever in the area and craving for some food late at night, this will be my go to.

    Regular crunchy tacos. (Partially eaten)

    In the top 5 of Austin taco joints.. I can't get enough. The thing I love is the flavor at Bomb Taco.. it all tastes good to the last bite. I am going to proclaim that the Hawaiian Taco on the menu is one of the best bites in the city.... Absolutely fantastic array of fresh flavor. The Hawaiian is packed with soy sauce marinated chicken, pineapple, lettuce, Pico, cheese..... omg.. take me back now. The flavor from this truck is awesome. It's been around a long time all over town and I am a buyer anytime I'm in the area. Get Bombed

    If you happen to be out and about and find yourself at the White Horse in the late night chances are you might be hungry. Luckily Bomb Tacos is right there on the patio to serve your drunken hunger needs. I got the pork tacos and cheese fries. It was messy, but it hit the spot after a night of drinking with friends. The cheese fries are pretty big and definitely something to share. I wouldn't seek out this place probably, but I would eat here again if I find myself at the White Horse hungry at 1am.

    At the window, where someone set us up the bomb.

    The first of Austin's hidden treasures I ever unearthed. I've erred in not putting up a review in a timely manner. Bomb Taco is a little orangey-red taco truck parked in the back of the White Horse. Tried their beef fajita and the 'Carne Guisada' tacos and who knew...they were 'the bomb'. Darned good flavor and texture. Queso was a little watery. Definitely worth a visit when you're taking a break from the tunes at the White Horse. This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK being seen eating here by Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

    The Hawaiian & Bistec!

    The tacos were awesome. Not sure why they have so many bad reviews. Maybe bad Uber Eats drivers taking too long?

    Food and service was amazing. I'd recommend buying food for the table and sharing with everyoneread more

    Best meal of the Austin trip: upscale tacos and housemade masa in a welcoming space…read more Food: 5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Waitress Kelly was wonderful and so professional. She noticed I was ordering dairy items on side and asked about if pesto in guacamole was ok. So astute and kind of her. Also on my friends second drink remembered she didn't want salt or her rim without even asking - Everything tasted so fresh and high quality - Brisket tacos: packed with flavor--maybe it was the wagyu meat or the black magic oil. Freshly made corn tortillas were awesome. Usually corn ones and pretty throwaway meh, but these added to the greatness of the tacos. 5 stars - Duck flautas: crispy covered in mild mole. Loved the mashed potato addition inside for some mellowness and texture. 5 stars - Guacamole: so fresh and that dollop of pesto on top was lovely. Served with crispy masa dippers were impressive almost a 8x11 page size. It was fun to crack off into pieces, but hard to stop eating it. 5 stars - Sweet potato: friend loved these long charred wedges. 4.5 stars - Cocktails were stellar. I got the Don Dario which was a play on a marg and delightful - $12 of a few drinks during lucky hour (Mon-Fri 5-6pm, Sat-Sun 3-5pm) - High energy vibes in a clean, open, tan colored space - Had their bottle water on the table in a champagne bottle which speaks to my heart Midlights: - In East Austin so have to Uber if you are staying more central - Tacos come in orders of 4. Wish it was less so we could've tried more variety. Lowlights - No food discounts for lucky hour - Didn't have time to try the choco taco which looked amaze - Large gap of time between items first few items coming out and the rest

Arriba Abajo as you walked in just gave me all the vibes of a happening place when you want to hang out with friends and have a great time. We ordered the braised ribs rolled tacos for appetizers.

For lunch I ordered the Carneasada Fajitas with chimichurri and my husband ordered the Carneasada Taqueria. With my fajitas came a side of frijoles, green rice & flour tortillas. Corn flour was the other option. Both meals came in pipin' hot & the smell coming from both was very aromatic, zesty & spice. Amazing taste, flavors, just the right amount of marinade on the Carneasada with a hint of lime. It was so delicious while enjoying the ambiance. Our server was a delight and took very good care of us. We didn't order any of their alcoholic beverages since we were both working, but definitely we will be back to enjoy more food and try out their beverages.

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

    As a Texas native & Austinite, my boyfriend has been going to Fonda for years (they've been around…read moresince 1975 after all). I've only been once and it's definitely not gonna be the last time. In fact, we've got an upcoming reservation that's been on the books for quite sometime. They've managed to remain delicious, relevant and in demand 50 years! That's saying something. I'll tell you what that says...it says they rule! Reservations can be tricky to get but oh so worth it. The bar & atrium are fantastic and they boast a generous happy hour. The restaurant area and entire space are decorated wonderfully. Amazing artwork adorns the walls, they've got extensive art all about, vaulted ceilings and more. It's kind of like being in a hacienda. It feels like you're in Mexico. Truly. The restaurant and food are upscale without being pretentious. How refreshing! Speaking of refreshing...they've got cocktails and mocktails that will knock your socks off. I'm a big fan of the Nojito. My boyfriend loves the Mexican martini (it's primo). Let's talk about food. Wow-wee is it everything and then some. This is the kind of Tex-Mex flavor that sends your tastebuds into a tailspin of goodness! On our visit we did a salsa flight (we did 3 salsas), the queso (melted muenster and Oaxacan), Wagyu beef tacos, and chicken verde enchiladas. We did a spread like that in order to share everything. Food so good I'd give ten stars if I could. I can't put my finger on it but there's just something so special about the food, the taste of it, and the quality. It's just incredible flavor explosion bite after bite. If I had to guess, I'd say the food has been made with love, skill, and attention to detail all these years. Hence, their amazing reputation. Service is beyond compare. Hands down some of the best I've experienced in all of my worldly travels. Fonda San Miguel (Tzintzuntzan) is a dream come true!
