    They did a custom taco for my daughter with black beans and potatoes. The black beans are vegetarian, pintos are not.
    Amy H.

    I was pleasantly surprised that they offered solid vegetarian options. The taco with the cabbage and mushroom was unlike anything else I've tried in town. They have extra delicious vegetarian black beans. I also appreciated that they were willing to make a potato bean taco for my daughter.

    My newest go-to taco + coffee stop. Tacos are $3-4 and pretty big for the price + come with some kick ass salsa (so good if you like spicy). There is also a coffee shop in the same building that was incredible, and they'll give samples before you purchase. Coffee place also has a menu with food/snacks but haven't tried it yet - looks great though. Bonus points because they are now open on Sundays!!

    Solid tacos - preferred the el pastor and fried shrimp (non-traditional but yummy) - didn't care for the chicken or steak fajita due to the green peppers - just not a personal favorite.

    I'll try this place again, but the breakfast tacos I had were OK, not great. Chorizo and egg (hold the cheese) and bacon and egg. Unusually, bacon was better. Good smoky bacon, crumbled into the eggs. The problem is the floor tortillas. Good thickness, but rubbery. They need to be crisped up on the stovetop a bit. About $3 per taco. Two is a meal. Red salsa packs a punch. Green is mellow. Will try again

    Great service, delicious food and decent prices. I had been looking for a "Taco Place", one I could make my to go place to get either breakfast or lunch tacos and this is "it"! Delicious hefty tacos, plenty of different options and you can add and mix for a small extra charge. I highly recommend bean, eggs & cheese, bacon, eggs & cheese, 911 & F11. But you can't go wrong with any on the menu. Give it a try, they have "All-Day Breakfast Tacos" for those like me that doesn't matter the time, I gotta have my breakfast even at lunch. ; D

    This place is NOW open on SUNDAYS 8am Was looking for a taquaria place before picking up rental. Construction made Brazos House look closed and was going to an alternate taco place when i noticed a car. So we did a crazy turn to get here. Sign said open so here i am. Larger than i would have thought inside and Big enough for dance floor. Lol. Newly replaced metal roof, clean and friendly staff. Lots of local walk-in traffic. Nice music playing. Tacos were excellent! Great flavor and came out steaming hot which you don't get that too often. There s little tucked away so look for the sign. Menu looks good, I AM DEFINITELY COMING BACK!

    I'm thoroughly disappointed. I love tacos. Especially shrimp tacos. I been craving em for 24 hours.. and this is what I'm met with. Not a FLECK of seasoning and tortillas RIGHT out of a bag. Idk if the salsa & guacamole are scratch, but the guacamole definitely isn't worth $7. [Favor price] They give you a lot of chips tho..

    Wow what a hidden gem! This place is next to the 99 ranch mall right by china family but i would have never found it until i searched for tacos nearby. Their 512 and the river (shrimp) taco were my favorites and it was really good. Their taco is sturdy and doesn't fall apart like others so its pretty clean to eat. Their mild salsa is really good and don't forget to ask for limes- they sliced it up for us right there so it was really fresh. The breakfast tacos were not my favorites but all in all i would definitely go back. They have a huge taco menu so everyone can find what they like.

    If you're wanting tacos look no more! Not only are these taco affordable but they are delicious! Whose tired of unseasoned eggs and potatoes?! I sure am! Well not here! Every taco is seasoned to perfection oh and don't forget to get some salsa! It's spicy and adds the perfect kick!! Service is absolutely top notch and super helpful for this first time customer!!

    Yum!! Husband and I ran in here for a quick lunch, and we were so happy we did. Being from Houston we are spoiled as far as tacos go. Brazas made us super happy with their flavors and options. There is also horchata espresso. Holy heck! Good food, good people, good prices.

    F1 Breakfast Taco (Chilaquiles!), Highland Taco

    Hidden gem. These tacos are delicious, well portioned, and priced very affordably! I love their F1 breakfast taco with chilaquiles in it. I've also tried their Highland which has chicken fajita and veggies in it, and their potato egg and cheese. All delicious, their verde salsa is perfection, can't wait to try more! It's a cute little space that they share with another vendor.

Once you're inside, though, the whole operation runs with impressive efficiency. You order at the register, take your receipt, and hand it off to one of the taco guys behind the counter. As the sign says, "No Ticket, No Taco!" so don't lose it. Seating is limited and the line can get long, but they move fast. And don't come expecting cheese or sour cream -- the only add‑ons here are cilantro, onions, salsa, and guacamole. It's a stripped‑down menu, and they stick to it. The tacos are solid. The beef isn't anything remarkable, but the chicken is tender, moist, and genuinely flavorful. The quesadilla is the sleeper hit; the baked cheese gives it a deep, savory punch that outshines the tacos.

The onions and cilantro greatly balance each bite, while the salsa and guacamole are necessary and fundamental to tying the flavors together.. Despite their popularity, service remains lightning fast. The reluctantly bilingual cooks practically seize your order ticket to guide you through the process. This is my second taco journey to Austin and I haven't found better.

It's not always easy to find flavorful vegetarian tacos, so this place was a pleasant surprise. I loved it so much that I ended up visiting twice during my two-day trip to Austin. If you're in the city, this place is definitely worth checking out!

Sixth Street's neon and noise are basically next door, the Capitol sits up the hill, and the whole area is packed with people, bars, and that classic Austin mix of polished downtown hustle and late-night chaos. Velvet Taco is pure counter-service: you walk right up, order at the register, and then grab a seat. There's plenty of seating, so even with a couple of kids in tow it was no problem finding a spot. The place leans hard into what can only be called white-people tacos--soft, sad flour tortillas that taste like they came straight out of a grocery-store package, loaded with every wild creation the kitchen can invent. Global mashups, brunch hybrids, burger impostors, the works. No one is pretending these are the real deal. I went for the chicken-and-waffles taco, which was actually built on a thin, real waffle instead of a tortilla. Surprisingly good--crispy, a little sweet, chicken holding its own. The burger taco tasted exactly like a cheeseburger that had wandered into a tortilla and decided to stay. We also tried the shrimp taco (fine), one daughter got the kids' chicken taco (perfectly kid-level), and the other ordered the chicken tikka (spicy, saucy, and very much in the "why is this on a tortilla?" category). Everything was okay. Comparable to Torchy's in that same creative-American-taco lane. If you're looking for a true Mexican taco, stay far away. But if you just want to play around with some decent flavors on a cheap flour store-bought tortilla while sitting in the middle of downtown Austin, this is your spot. Not my favorite. Glad I tried it. Won't be back.

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 had only stopped by this Food Truck (area) to try Desnudo Coffee, and spotted this business. I had heard some good things about Veracruz, but I was planning lunch elsewhere. Well, that other spot was CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS! Seeing my situation, I saw it as opportunity to try the options at Veracruz --- including the famous from Food Network, migas taco. I ordered 4 tacos: the migas, migas poblano, shrimp macha (!!), and the Dona Reyna tacos. All of these specific tacos were priced between $6 and $6.75 per taco, not bad in Austin, and not bad considering the quality of said tacos. As you can see from my order, I opted on the more "novel" choices and they did not disappoint; that said, I do HIGHLY recommend the two variations of the migas taco and the shrimp macha taco. Oh, the shrimp macha was so FIRE, the flavors were bold and smoky with a kiss of heat. The migas tacos were FULLY LOADED, and the scramble with the tortilla chips were flavorul. TIP: They will ask corn or flour --- do flour. Everything is handmade, but those corn tortillas fall apart with all the sauce. Flour = durable and flavorful. I had plans, but the Universe had other plans for me that were superior. Try Veracruz All Natural --- and if your limited on $$$, you can snag 3 EXCEPTIONAL LOADED TACOS for about $20, that you will not find anywhere else!

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
