8 Tacos
Tyler W.

Discada in Austin is an ABSOLUTE must-try. The flavors are incredible, rich, bold, perfectly balanced and the meats are unbelievably moist and tender. You can tell everything is cooked with care and serious attention to detail. From 24hours marinading to the 6 hours smoke every bite delivers that deep, savory flavor that keeps you coming back for more (literally we went back to order more). On top of the food, the staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Despite how popular it is, they turn over orders incredibly fast without sacrificing quality. You're not waiting around long, and what you get is consistently excellent. 10/10 would recommend. Discada lives up to the hype and then some.

Contrary to most of the reviews here, I found the tacos to be overhyped. They were tiny, and they just didn't taste that great. The flavor was mostly greasy, without much contrast. I expected the pineapple to shine through more, but it really didn't. Overall, the dish felt very plain and lacked depth.

My first time checking out their new location behind Chalmers Bar. There is tons of seating outside and inside the bar. Service is relatively quick as well. They only serve one type of taco, but you can select from 3, 5 or 8 tacos. The tacos are small, about 2-3 bites per piece, but they are packed with flavors. The sauces also add a tang. The tacos are okay in my opinion. Not the best in Austin, but definitely in the top 5! Highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner!

National Taco Day was a good day to find out about Discada. I had never heard of it until a friend texted me that they were offering 3 tacos de Discada. When I arrived, the line was long, giving me a chance to read up on Discada tacos. According to their sign: Born in Northern Mexico, Discada is a specialty dish of beef, pork, and aromatics cooked on a tractor plow disc. We hand chop all ingredients, marinate them for 24 hours, and slow-cook them in layers for 6 hours. The result? A rich, flavorful taco unlike anything you've ever tasted." When I received the 3 tacos, I discovered that description to be true: they were flavorful tacos unlike anything I had ever tasted! The corn tortillas that I requested were moist and tasty. Despite the line of people waiting for tacos, the service was somewhat quick. I didn't mind waiting a little for delicious tacos on National Taco Day! The ambiance is relaxed and casual, as would be expected from a food truck.

Love how they specialize in one type of taco, and they do so fabulously! The food truck is located inside of Chalmer's, so expect to show the bouncer your ID before you can head in. It is also a bit loud in there, but as expected for a sports bar environment. There was no wait for us on a Sunday 2pm. The discada taco is packed with flavor. A bit on the smaller side, the tray of 3 tacos was a good snack size for me. The pink sauce (hot) packs a punch, while the orange sauce (mild) is a tangy, not very spicy compliment. I would highly recommend dropping by! There is a reason this is a Michelin guide restaurant.

If you're on a taco tour in Austin, this place must be on your list!! They only sell one type of taco and get it as it comes. They're tiny 2-3 bite tacos or one if you're brave. The meat to the tortilla to the toppings to the salsas, everything is perfect. You can get just three tacos for a snack or get all eight for a full meal. They are a food truck located inside the bar chalmers with lots of seating and great vibes. Cannot recommend this place enough, incredible tacos!

No major decisions here, just 3, 5, or 8 tiny tacos filled with a tender meat medley stewed and seasoned to perfection. Yes to all the fixin's - cilantro, onion, and pineapple keeping things fresh and light with EXTRA *** HOT green & red sauce. Service is slower during lunch, as their addition to the Michelin is driving up wait times, but Chalmer's has a huge patio and lots of options while you wait.

Pro-tip: Enjoy with a choice of Discada's drinks (topo or Mexican coje, for example). Drinks at Chalmers are way too expensive for what it is. Great service, and tasty presentation. Street-style tacos (with meat), so the plate of 8 tacos are recommended. Both salsas are flavorful, with the pink one being spicier (due to the habanero). Pricey for the portion size, but, you know...this economy...

I don't know if it's considered a controversial/hot take (a la Austin BBQ opinions) to say I like Discada over Cuantos... It's still so interesting to think that the Michelin inspectors sat down just like we did and decided that two food trucks had better tacos than most sit down restaurants in the city. They technically only have one flavor, but this one flavor is the only one needed because it's mindblowing!! The price is reflective of their new reputation, and also because it's food adjacent to a bar but once in a while a trip here would be warranted. The seating area is covered and has A/C which is great. I could see the screen showing a baseball game without issue, and the bathroom sink area is easy to access if you just want to wash hands/not use the facilities.

Hot take: I'm not a fan of tacos, but for Discada, I'll make an exception. If you're looking at the menu and are wondering, "Where are the options"--you don't need them. The only decision you need to make is: 3, 5, or 8 tacos? (Pro tip: go big, the tacos are as big as my tiny hand). Another note: immediate yes on the Elote. If you don't eat pork or beef, I'm genuinely sorry, that's the only taco on the menu. But, I wish you could know how incredible it is!! The meat is slow-cooked for six hours, then topped with micro-diced onions, cilantro, and pineapple upon serving.

THE BIG: Taco food truck right off of Navasota and Rosewood. However, I do believe they move around a bit, so check their website! Street parking typically wherever you find them. THE BLACK AND WHITE: Heard from a couple of folks that this place was the best taco spot in town and had to try it. It was around 6pm when we arrived and there was fortunately only two other people in front of us ordering. Discada specializes in one type of taco and they come in 1, 3 or 8. We got the 8. The spice/heat was there with the condiemnts and the little tacos reminded me of cuantos tacos. I still think cuantos is better, however these little tacos do pack a mean bite. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Ultimately we spent around $17 for eight tacos. Very affordable and they specialize in one taco. Delicous and will be back!

Discada is definitely one of the best taco trucks in Austin. They only serve one thing--Discada tacos--but that one thing is absolutely worth the stop. The tacos are small, but packed with flavor--perfectly marinated, super tender, and just incredibly tasty. You can grab a bunch (like 8) for around $16, which makes it a great deal too. It's a simple setup--tacos come with two types of salsa and fresh lime wedges--but honestly, that's all you need. The meat is a mix of several kinds, and the flavor they get from the disc grill is unreal. Nothing fancy, just really well-executed, authentic tacos. It's not in the most obvious location, but absolutely worth seeking out. One of those spots that you tell your friends about after you go. Highly recommend.

Discada was awesome! The meats were tender, full of flavor, just the right level of spice. The salsa was fantastic as well. The space was a bonus as well. Inviting and fun and shady. Overall a great meal, and three were a full meal!

Are their tacos gluten free?

The tacos I ate were made of corn, but I'm not up on what is or isn't gluten free.

I have not found a taco place that was phenomenal until I tried this place! The vibes take you back to Mexico with authentic tacos served simple, straight forward, and let the taco speak for itself! We were downtown for a concert at the Moody Theater and were hungry so we decided to walk a short 9 mins to Taqueria De Diez! The best decision made! Full disclosure... the establishment is located down a very DARK creepy alley (the kind in the movies where you shouldn't go down to get) but after overcoming that fear... this will be the best decision you make! Your tummy will thank you! Follow the outside "TACO here" sign. Go through the door and walk straight... this will get you through the line. Lucky for us on a Saturday night at 10:30pm there wasn't a super long line. We managed to grab two seats to chow down our tacos. You will be able to see the chefs cook the carne asada on the grill and the Al pastor on the spit roast being cut to be put in tacos. The smell was amazing and you know you're at a legit place! Ordering: -Check out their menu while waiting in line so you know what to order when it's your turn. -place order at register. They accept visa, Mastercard, Venmo, cash, but does NOT accept AMEX. - grab your drinks if you purchased some. Mexica soda, horchata, jimicama drinks, water , etc - give your ticket to the expeditor and tell them to go or dine there. The expeditor will ask you cilantro, onions, and salsa on a taco? Say yes. It's a must. The expeditor will tell the chefs to assemble your tacos. (I'm seriously so impress with how efficient and quick their service goes. We waited maybe 5-10 mins and got 5 tacos and chips/salsa. There was about 8 ppl in front of us but the lines go quick. If you ordered chips and salsa then you will get the chips from the cashier and the salsa from the expeditor. * 1 Al pastor taco on flour 4/5: love the fresh pineapples on it! The Al pastor had crispy pieces and was super tasty! It was really tasty. There were pieces of meat that was dry but the salsa helped and pineapple. Season was really good! I was in awed with how tasty it is! Definitely best Al pastor in ATXi had! * 1 Campechano on flour 5/5: wow best of both worlds! I had this taco second and loved the combo flavor! Juiciness of the carne asada and crispy frol the Al pastor. * carne asada on flour 5/5: juicy perfectly seasoned and love the green sauce on it! Sauce was creamy and paired well with the taco. It was so so freaking good! The flour tortilla is super thin and let the meats stand out. Loaded Smokey taco and was differently the best carne asada I've ever had! After trying the carne asada I definitely think it's better than Al pastor! I'm glad I tried the Al pastor taco first before the carne because I think the carne asada would have outshine the Al pastor if I had it first. It was a great end to the last taco! * 1 VOLCAN- couldn't try because it was sold out * chips and salsa 4/5: chips crispy and not oily. Salsa was super spicy but good. All tacos come with onions cilantro and salsa with no additional cost. Overall do I recommend this place? I truly wish I tried this place 5 yrs ago when I moved to ATX! I truly highly recommend this place! Do not wait 5 yrs to go try this place or you will be full of regrets! It's a simple taco but made right with complex balance and flavors! I love love love it and now will be thinking about these tacos! Highly recommended! Prices are reasonable and the tacos are made with love!

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.
