    Truly unique and the menu is as interesting as it was delicious. The migas and the chiccarone offering caught my attention. It might be good idea to order ahead. We ordered on the spot on a not busy time and it took a good 15 minutes to get the order. The convenience store is well convenient to get the beverage of your choice .

    Yep. Pretty good breakfast tacos. But for the cold, hard cash? There's better (or just as good for half the price). Migas. Tasty. Chilaquiles. Tasty. Why don't they have a chilaquiles plate? If it's good enough to wrap in a tortilla, throw it on a plate with an over easy egg! Chorizo, egg, and cheese. Greasy. Not sure if it was the chorizo or the cheese, but it more than dripped grease. All of the tacos were a bit meager. Two of us split 3 and left not quite satisfied. Good. Not in the top 10.

    Staff was nice, Google Maps takes me a little offs ways but its at the corner of the gas station. Chilaquiles Taco: soft corn chips, egg, a la mex, queso fresco was a fun taco, you can add meat to if if you want. I recommend this one! I also got a bacon and a chorizo egg and cheese taco and the bacon was crispy, chorizo was not too greasy. Its all well balanced. Not a must come back for me since I personally want something a little greasyer but with its name, Con Madre, its a great place! All the tacos were fresh and came out hot! Salsa was not spicy enough for me but that can be a plus if you want clean tacos and mild salsa, a jump from fuzzys.

    Breakfast burrito was delicious! I'm salivating just remembering how much I liked it! I got it with chorizo, potatoes, cheese, refried beans and salsa verde. Patio seating was nice. Service was as expected.

    If you're looking for a food truck that sells a wide variety of Mexican food at a great price, a great selection of agua frescas, and shaded patio seating then Con Madre Kitchen is a spot you should consider! When I came I tried a few different items such as: - Pastor Tacos (3.5/5), Barbacoa Tacos (4/5), and Bistek Tacos (3.5/5). The barbacoa was my favorite because it was the most tender, rich, and flavorful of the three. What's also nice overall about these tacos is that they cost $2.89 each when you get them on corn. - Madre's Sautéed Shrimp Taco (4/5) & Madre's Chori-Queso Taco (4.25/5): in addition to traditional street style tacos, they have these two unique ones with one featuring grilled shrimp and the other featuring chorizo and melted cheese. These come on flour tortilla and cost $4.75 each. - Cheeseburger: wouldn't normally get a burger from a Mexican restaurant, but this was good as it had a bigger emphasis on the grilled onion. ($5.50) - 3.5/5 - Homemade Picadillo Nachos: they load the nachos up with beef, cheese, avocado, and jalapeños and this is not a bad appetizer to get if you're craving some nachos. ($13) - 3.25/5 - Madre's Frito Pie: their take on frito pie, but using Hispanic ingredients. ($8) - 3.25/5 - Agua Frescas: they have a great selection where you can get Horchata (sweet cinnamon & rice milk), Jamaica (sweet hibiscus punch), tamarindo (sweet & tangy tamarind juice) -, and limonada. You honestly can't go wrong with any of these! They all taste great. ($3.50/ea) - 4.25/5 With lots of food to choose from my suggestions would definitely be getting a barbacoa taco, a sautéed shrimp taco, and a chori-queso taco with any of the drinks! All in all, I had a good time here and would rate my experience a 3.75/5.

    Coming from CA I had high expectations especially since I know it's Hispanic owned. I took one bite and threw it away it was so greasy and no flavor! Thought the chorizo would give it some Flavor but it didn't!

    What a great find!!..Found this joint in route to The Hill of Life for a hike and it was just what we needed...Super friendly service and ample seating...Large menu with plenty to choose from...we both picked Chorizo, egg and Cheese and Bacon, egg and cheese..2 of each..at first we thought they were a bit pricey...but these are some fat tacos...piping hot...perfectly charred tortillas and some kickin good sauce...wife couldn't finish hers..so I sacrificed my beach bod and scarfed the last couple bite down...Lunch menu looks killer!!...Awesome visit!!

    Now THIS is breakfast tacos. During our girls trip we were on a quest to find the best tacos and confirm that Austin was truly known for breakfast tacos. Con Madre Kitchen affirmed it to us. Holy moly (or should I say holy mole?) - it's been maybe two months since we've been there and we still talk about these tacos. Had we known about it sooner, we probably would've woken up and come here every day for breakfast lunch and dinner. First off, cheers to customization! I can't have physical onions, scallions, or cilantro (sad), but I was able to pick items that would best fit my tacos given this condition. Even for the chicharrones specialty taco, I easily avoided the items I'm allergic too and heavy loaded on that red madre sauce. It was all so good I went back up to the truck to order two more tacos on top of the two I already ordered. They are ADDICTING but in the most wonderful way. Particularly loved my personal make your own of potato, egg, and ham. The ham was charred JUST right and made me want more. Another combo was beans, eggs, and chorizo. My mouth is watering all over again wow And if the tacos weren't enough, the drinks were on point too. Horchata and coffee? My friends called it absolutely perfect. For me I like fruity / juice like drinks so I had to go with the Jamaica which had the perfect taste to wash down these tacos. Go here. If you don't trust me after how much I've raced in this review and how much I'm now considering booking a flight back to Austin for these tacos, then I rest my case!

    Just returned post-Covid and tried the migas tacos on corn this time. It tasted fresh, especially the tortilla, but I didn't think it was worth the $$.

My eggs Benedict was served on a unique bread - not a traditional English muffin - that kind of fell apart as I ate it. The flavor was great though. I should have gotten regular home fries, because the hashbrown casserole was cheesy and I wanted something to soak up the hollandaise and egg. The pancakes were so light they fell right apart when we began cutting into them. The flavor was great though. I would definitely recommend Phoebes.

Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

My biggest issue started before I even got seated. There is a QR code that you're required to use to join the waitlist/queue, but this is not clearly communicated on their website. You essentially have to arrive at the restaurant and figure it out once you're there. For a restaurant that is known for having long waits and high traffic, I feel like this information should be clearly stated online so people can plan accordingly. Once I joined the queue, I was number 43 and ended up waiting about an hour and a half before being seated. I understand that popular restaurants can have long wait times, but the lack of transparency about how the process works made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Once inside, the ambiance was actually quite quaint and charming. That said, considering how much traffic this restaurant gets, I was surprised by how limited the space is. I honestly think expanding the property would make a huge difference, although I understand that may not be entirely within their control. One thing I will give them major credit for is the menu. Online, the selection makes it look somewhat limited, but once you're there, they actually have 50+ food options, so there is plenty to choose from. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, my entrée was disappointing. I ordered a shredded beef taco with salsa and substituted a side salad. The beef was extremely tender, but unfortunately, it was also very dry. The salad was another disappointment because the vinaigrette was honestly not good. I don't think I've ever had a vinaigrette that I actively disliked until this meal. Thankfully, my fiancé had a much better experience. He ordered an enchilada and said it was one of the top five enchiladas he's ever had, so clearly there are some standout dishes on the menu. That definitely made me curious about trying something different if I ever return. I also really enjoyed that they offer hibiscus tea. I was very happy to see it on the menu, although I personally think it would be better served on its own rather than incorporated into one of their mixed drinks. The drink itself was just okay, but the hibiscus flavor was great. Overall, I can see why this place has become an Austin staple, but I think the experience could be improved significantly by making the waitlist process much clearer online and by improving the consistency of some of the food. The menu has a lot of potential, and clearly, some dishes are excellent! Unfortunately, mine just wasn't one of them.

It reminded me of the Ground Round chain from when I was a little girl. We decided to try the corndog shrimp appetizer. I couldn't decide on an entree because everything looked so good, so I did the Parmesan chicken and my coworker did the steak salad. The shrimp arrived so quickly with four large pieces of shrimp on a stick wrapped in corn dog batter and fried to a golden brown, with a blueberry mustard dipping sauce. The shrimp were delicious and while I didn't get much of the blueberry in the mustard, I enjoyed the sweetness it provided. My Parmesan chicken was a crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet with a lemon cream, artichoke hearts, and what appeared to be prosciutto on top. It was served with a side of pesto couscous with grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I wish I had ordered mashed potatoes on the side, because I wanted something to soak up the lemon cream sauce, which was the highlight of the chicken. We also were served 3 mini cornbread muffins with honey butter. My coworker said the salad was just okay, and was a little on the small side. The desserts were definitely a MUST and if you visit Moonshine and don't save room for the Espresso Brownie or the Peanut Butter Pie, you're going to regret it. The brownie was so fudgey and warm and served with ice cream. It was decadent. The peanut butter pie was the biggest slab of PB pie I've ever had with a thick Oreo crust. I wish I had someone with me to share it, it was huge. Overall, if I lived in the area I would definitely be back to try other things.
