Taco truck
Danielle T.

Always looking for a good taco place and of course Austin is known for food trucks. I ordered online and it was made quick and it was so easy to order. When I got there the guy was very nice and I was on my way to a surprise of delicious tacos. I will definitely be back with the family to try more from the menu. I got the quesobirria, Al pastor tacos and CJ hangover consume! So delicious filled with bold flavor! Ambiance is outdoor setting, the area is good if you would like to be outside and have your kids play they have a lot of things for small child to enjoy while you enjoy your food.

What a great new addition to the Thicket in South Austin! As others have noted, CJ's is not your "boutique tiny tacos" - these are large and well filled at a great price! I arrived about 50 min before they closed on a weekday, and they still had tacos I asked for recommendations and the fellow was so nice in telling me about his favorites outside of the birria ones. I tired the fried fish (AMAZING), al pastor and suadero, on a mix of corn and flour tacos based on recommended pairings. Only feedback I'd have is that the suadero is a little drier than the others, so if you get it I'd recommend loading up on the salsa too. The tortillas were big and were good for dipping if you had any left with a little of the salsa. Food came out pretty fast (within 7min or maybe less) and was very yummy. Will be back

Chorizo, egg, and cheese taco on corn tortilla!

Tacos were supper filling and would definitely come back!! The salsas were chefs kiss. They were kind and quick!

Showed up at 6PM. Closed for the day. Advertised that they stay open til 7PM. Very unTexan to lie.

This place was amazing! The food was delicious and fresh. We stayed and enjoyed the nice weather out and I love that there is so much room for people to space out. The service here was also great and very friendly. Overall we will definitely be coming back! Pictured is the burrito bowl, Al pastor and Birria tacos, and the quesabirria!

Some of the best tacos in Austin. Go quite a bit and it's always great. The tortillas being homemade is what makes it even better. Great spot. Definitely recommend the suadero and al pastor.

CJ's was running a Valentine's Day special for a heart shaped Birria taco, so of course we had to try it! This thing was huge for $25! Loaded with tons of meat and the consommé had pieces of meat, onion, cilantro and so much seasoning in it. Hands down, this whim purchase was a pleasant surprise. We'll definitely be back to try normal menu items.

I don't think I've had such a good quesabirria taco is such a long time. The shell stayed so crispy long after we received our food - I've usually had them sopping wet and soggy after a while. This one? Perfect! I think the addition of cabbage was a refreshing take on them as well. The consume was also delicious, I've had plenty where it tastes very watery but this one had so much flavor. I just wish that it had a slightly wider cup to dip in, it was pretty narrow. So so delicious though! The service was great, the order taker laughed at my dad's cheesy jokes so I take that as a win. We got our food put pretty fast, nice and hot. I can't speak on any ambience exactly towards CJ's, but the overall food truck park was really cute and fun. Had nice misters to keep us cool, too! Would definitely come back for CJ's!

Quesabirria Tacos

I had the pleasure of visiting CJ's tacos recently and would highly recommend checking it out. The Quesabirria Tacos are a must try - they are deep fried to perfection and the meat melts in your mouth. The tortilla gives it crunch and the cheese and sauces make it even better. Not only is the food amazing, but I have to give props to CJ's for the portion sizes. When I saw there were three tacos in the order, I was initially skeptical as to whether I would be full after eating. However, I was happy to be proven wrong as I found myself unable to finish the 3rd taco. They were huge! Each order is about $11 and could easily fill up an adult or a few people to share as a snack. While Thicket food truck park is a bit out of the way from downtown Austin, the ambiance was very relaxing and we even got to enjoy some live music which was a nice touch. Many people brought their dogs and there are plenty of picnic benches to sit and eat. The service was also good - we were able to place our order on the phone when we were on our way over and it was ready by the time we arrived. The only minor hiccup was that they forgot one of the sauces that comes with the order but I hardly noticed. I can't wait to be back for a future visit!

Brunchfast Tacos!!

Great food corn tortillas very tasty New spot to come to for breakfast or brunch ! They serve breakfast until 12 nice !!!

Migas taco

Quick, fast, straight to the point breakfast tacos. We happen to show up 30 minutes before breakfast tacos ended. They have a large variety of non breakfast tacos like birria style tacos and so much more. I got the migas and chorizo cheese and eggs. It was pretty good despite the tortillas not being homemade. The only complaint I have is that extra salsa costs. That's kind of annoying. But business is business. The salsa was very spicy and I loved it.

I ordered the quesabirrias and the order was brought out to my table in under 10 minutes! Super flavorful and delicious!

Tucked away in a building across from Popeye's, this charming little restaurant doesn't have a wide…read morevariety to choose from--but what they offer is pretty special and definitely worth a visit. 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.

I personally don't eat breakfast tacos usually, but the breakfast tacos here are delicious. Out on…read morea whim, happen to drive by and saw this place. 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. Anyone reading this, try this place out and if u like it, come back! Cuz we are for sure =D
