I am a sucker for a good, Texan taco stand & this place hit the spot!! I went for a late lunch after work one day and specifically pick this spot based close distance and the choice of fish tacos on their menu. When I pulled up, they had a patio-style, shaded porch/eating area. The two men working the food truck were kind & brought my order to my seat. The fish tacos were fresh, perfectly breaded & deliciousss! I also tried the Al pastor taco & it was also everything I had hoped for read more

CJ's is one of my favorite spots in Austin. Known for their amazing quesabirria tacos, with a consume that warms your soul. Don't sleep on the fish tacos, so fresh and delicious! The service is top notch, and if you're lucky CJ will be the one to prepare your food! Out of all the options in Thicket food truck park, this is always my go to! read more

The tacos were a generous portion which was a nice surprise, and they were priced just right. The salsas and seasonings were also pretty good. I ordered a quesabirria, asada tacos and barbacoa tacos-about 10 total. The corn tortillas were my least favorite part-- I appreciate that they were homemade, but they were tough to chew and got a bit tough once the tacos cooled down slightly. I suppose the flour tortillas are the go-to, I personally don't care for them. read more

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. read more

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 read more

I had high hopes trying this place out, birria tacos were the greasiest tacos ever and the consommé had absolutely no flavor. Also purchased were the taco bowls, which were very bland and the flank steak tacos which tasted as if the meat had gone bad. Would not go back. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

At least my twentieth time here, always consistent on taste, ingredients and portions! Value is top notch!

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. read more

Only one vegetarian option but a delicious one. They made it non-fried for me so it was also gluten-free on corn tortillas. The mango salsa was delicious and the service was super friendly. The picnic seating at Thicket is always a delight and in a group, everyone gets variety. read more

I ordered several different kinds of tacos for lunch with my husband. Quesabirria, suadero, and al pastor. So delicious. Legit sized tacos. Very filling. Good price. Love the location. Ample parking and reasonable wait time on a Saturday. read more

First visit, just an impulsive thing.... We ate the vegetarian taco (fried avocado), chicken taco, and the bistec taco. The prices were so low that I expected them to be simple bare tacos but, instead, they were really beautiful and sophisticated tacos. The meats were lean and flavorful. The salsas (doña, habanero, and tomatillo) were all really good. Wonderful experience. read more

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

Been frequenting the CJ's Tacos location at the Thicket Food Truck Park off of 1st for a few months now, so I feel I can give an honest review. This truck offers some of the best tacos I've ever had (as a native Texan who's had plenty). The portions can't be beat for Austin. I got a fried fish taco and a chorizo taco and was full off of that alone (as a near 200 lb man). None of those tiny tacos that you might find at some trendy taco spots. I've gotten the $10 quesabirria plate before (best quesabirria I've had in Austin) and I couldn't even finish it. The prices don't just match the portions, they make an incredible deal for the area. I got the two pictured tacos and a Jarrito for $8. Everything I've gotten here has been up to par. They've never once messed up an order and the quality is always consistent. The food truck park it's located in is well shaded with lots of seating and long benches so it's perfect for bringing some friends. I can't recommend this truck enough! read more

CJ's Tacos - Fried fish taco (tilapia) and a chorizo taco on flour - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

CJ's has some of the best tacos in town! Ate here almost every day for lunch when I worked nearby, I still make the trip to go get these tacos. The owner is super nice and always fast, they will let you sit in your car while they make your tacos and then bring them to you, great for avoiding the summer heat while you're waiting on your to-go food. Everything I've had here is awesome, favorites are the chicken taco and birria read more

Genuinely the best birria tacos I have ever had in my life (and I'm avid birria taco enthusiast lol) !! I ask for onions and cilantro instead of curtido and put both the green and orange salsas on it ! Their salsas are amazing and the staff is the absolute sweetest ! I go here at least once a week and would recommend this to anyone that wants good authentic mexican tacos and salsa that's actually spicy and has such a rich flavor ! read more

Some of the best tacos I've ever seen or tasted, especially for the value. Amazing.

Al pastor and barria tacos are simply not good unfortunately. Just wanted to post so people know ahead of time

Had breakfast tacos and they might be the best in ATX!!! I asked for a custom machaca which wasn't on the menu and my man delivered without fail! Chili de arbol hot sauce that was included was fire!!!! read more

The tacos here are nothing short of spectacular - each bite is a burst of flavor, meticulously crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service is attentive, the ambiance inviting, and the overall experience is simply outstanding. read more
