Not the best neighborhood - BUT super authentic and delicious!…read more We came here because I was really craving some homemade tortillas. This place came up and I had to try it. Everyone had masks on except for the few people that were eating. You have to spend at least $5 to be able to pay with a credit card. We bought some homemade salsa as well and it had the perfect amount of kick to it! The tortillas were delicious and had a great flavor. They were not thick like some homemade tortillas are... I highly recommend this place. There is plenty of parking and they are def doing everything they can to keep customers safe as far as COVID protocols go.

But I left disappointed. food was overpriced I wouldn't have mind if the food actually tasted good. We got the menudo usually were I'm from serving it was the hamony is pretty usual I got a bowl of broth & just menudo which I was ok with but I definitely had to add lots of salt to get a good taste. We got a barbacoa taco & it was lacking taste just overall wasn't good. Chilaquiles were ok anytime I see a place with red ones that the salsa isn't just tomato based I get excited these were made with actual dried red chiles but the salsa just wasn't it for me! Definitely could have been better. Lastly for a "tortilleria" the tortillas or chips weren't the best, I tried the flour and corn & I've had better elsewhere fersure. We left with our plates practically full the only thing I actually finished was my canned soda. I definitely wouldn't recommend. Left leaving like it was a waste of money. There definitely better out there.

Authentic Mexican tacos and breakfast tacos served all day (open until midnight), on your choice of flour or corn tortilla. As far as their menu goes, personally, I don't think I can even choose a favorite: It's a toss up between the Al Pastor and the Barbacoa tacos. The queso blanco is also the bomb-diggity. If you're a coffee drinker, I also recommend the Equinox, which is coffee with horchata (delicious. sweetened rice milk). The horcahata can be ordered without coffee too. In a city, famous for its tacos, especially ones of the breakfast variety, El Tacorrido keeps up with the best of them! So I if you happen to live in, or be visiting, the Austin area, swing by and try it out. You're welcome; consider this your first introduction to your new favorite taco restaurant.

These tacos al pastor had no pineapple. Major fail. They were dry and crumbly and the pork had a chewy cotton consistency. Yuck. What did I eat? We tried a variety of tacos and the best ones they had on the menu were the potato and egg tacos, which we tried since breakfast was served all day. Also, my niece had to stop at the light on Lamar and vomit the carne asada tacos out in front of all of the cars waiting at the light by us. I tried to ask her what happened but she still doesn't have the words to explain what upset her stomach. I felt so sorry cause I picked the place. But If the carne asada had an old taste like my pastor, then say no more. My niece has a weaker constitution than me so it was destined to happen. Side note: There were no English speakers when we ordered, so if this is the usual, brush up on your Spanish before coming. No big deal. There just might be a language barrier. Plus points for giving us all of the limes, cilantro and onions to our hearts desire, but all of that still couldn't make up for the lower than expected quality of the tacos. Even the corn tortillas felt more like flour instead of corn, but we were assured they were corn. I won't be back, but maybe you can test your experience against mine and report back.

Something new we must try in our neighborhood. Cute! Little restaurant has plenty of seating inside…read moreand if you choose to sit outside, there's plenty of seating there too. The menu is not overly complicated. You basically walk in walk up to the counter. Look at the screens and it's not too hard to figure out what you want to eat. I ordered three tacos, the carnitas, nope. Nopales, and fajita de Pollo. I would say the fajita de pollo and the nopales was my two favorites. The carnitas have a different type of seasoning I'm not familiar with and I wasn't as fond of it as I was the chicken and the cactus. Guessing by the way the tortillas looked they were made here at the restaurant and were slightly browned on the outside which really enhances the experience of a taco made well. For the price and the menu options you get, this is a solid place. It will definitely be on our repeat place to eat.

Tortas, tacos, flautas, and a quesadilla. All of them came with beans and rice and that was the big surprise for all of us. They were both really good and had flavor and at most spots its either the rice is good and the beans lack something or vice versa. Here they both had great flavor. The flautas could have used a little more flavor but the portions are good size and the good overall was really good. The food was fresh and the staff was friendly. Over all we would come back if we happen to be in the area.

The free…read moreand freshly fried, well-seasoned tortilla chips are consistently excellent, and the restaurant is always clean and welcoming. Overall, we truly enjoy dining here. However, I do have a few concerns that are worth noting for both management and potential customers: First, this is not an inexpensive place to eat. Most individual options range from $15 to $16 or more per person. At that price, I find it disappointing that pico de gallo was removed from the salsa bar. It used to be included, but now it's only available in a ***VERY*** small portion for an extra added charge. It feels like a cost-cutting move that doesn't align with the pricing. I would rather see a modest price increase than see staple items like this diminish. The salsa bar is OVERLY loaded with salsas, so wouldn't it make more sense to trim the excessive amounts of salsa and bring back a very popular option like pico de gallo that people actually WANT? When you make decisions, make it make sense. The second issue is with customer service which can be hit or miss depending on who is working. Most of the staff are friendly, attentive and professional. I appreciate the service they provide. However, there is this one male employee whose demeanor is consistently indifferent or downright dismissive. His apathy DRAINS ME. He rarely acknowledges customers and doesn't offer the same courtesy and attentiveness as the other team members. While I understand everyone has different personalities, hospitality is a key part of the dining experience and this person could use instruction from management to provide a little more courtesy and professionalism. It's expensive out here...so making customers feel valued keeps business. Fix homeboy's attitude. I share this feedback not to be harsh because this restaurant has so much going for it, but missteps matter. A few small changes could easily take the overall experience from good to truly great.

That's not just an inconvenience--that's unacceptable. Good food doesn't excuse poor customer service, especially when it involves billing errors.
