Tacos, Gordita, Gringa
A H.

I REALLY wanted to like this taco spot. It was my first time, I ordered a lot.... chicken, carnitas and goat tacos along with a Gringa and Gordita. My order was ready a bit quicker than expected, only took a few minutes. When I got home and bit into each item. The meat was dry and/or tough and the fried items were tough as well. It was to the point I only ate a bite out of each and had to toss the rest (which I hate doing and is not something I often consider). It seemed like these ingredients had been sitting out for a bit before being assembled Unfortunately, I didn't feel too hot the following day either. So disappointed cause I wanted to like this place and enjoy at least one of the items.

Chorizo-Campenchano and the Shredded Beef tacos

If I ever leave Texas, I will absolutely miss the abundance of taco trucks at gas stations. I needed to refill my gas tank and figured I would grab a few tacos for lunch, while I did. This place accepts cash or Venmo (and they have the Cash App). They were sold out of the Al Pastor, which is normally my go-to. I opted for the Chorizo-Campenchano and the Shredded Beef tacos. They served the tacos with a green (I think vinegar-based) sauce and fresh limes. The tacos were delicious - I was partial to the shredded beef. They had other menu items, likes tortas and quesadillas. Great little spot.

Pastor tacos!!

I had the pastor tacos and they were DELICIOUS, three people ate and had a drink for $16, can't beat that!! Obviously there is no ambiance, you're in a carwash parking lot, just go for the food. I was going to go today too, but blegh, the mist removes people's ability to drive. Hasta martes, el Super Taco!

As soon as you walk up you can tell it should be good by the smell. The flour taco sizes are smaller in size (maybe the same size or slightly larger than a corn tortilla) but hey, it's only $1.50/taco. I'd have to that's decently cheap compared to other trailers - $3/taco?what? I also took them up on the chopped onion and cilantro (they keep it finely chopped raw and not cooked so adds a nice touch). Al Pastor Taco - had to try this based on the reviews. Not too bad. Good spice and sweet flavor at the same time. Not the best I've ever had though. Desebrada Res Taco - had to google this one before I ordered. To my knowledge it's just shredded beef...? Either way this was good and tender. ? Taco - for some reason I got an extra taco, tasted like beef. It was not my favorite - the meat wasn't really tender and it tasted a little bland. Maybe you can figure it out by my pic. Egg & Chorizo breakfast Taco - nice and greeeasy. They give a good amount of chorizo to egg ratio (meaning more chorizo than egg). Al Pastor Torta - the torta bread was nice and soft so it mashed well, at the same time it was nice and toasted on the outside. It comes with a good amount of cheese, lettuce, and what seemed to be a mayo based sauce. I do wish there was more el pastor filling because everything else seemed to overpower it. One tip: If you're like me and rarely carry cash, keep in mind this is cash only - unless you want to drive to the closest ATM and back :/.

Yelpers you have done it again! You have led me to the honey hole of tacos, this place is delicious. I would give it 5 stars but have only been there once. I am sure once i try more of their menu it will give them the extra star. I ordered 3 of the pastor tacos (Mmmmm) they were delicious. Served on corn or flour tortillas, with celantro, and onions, pieces of grilled pineapple, and a lime wedge. They also give you a choice of green salsa(mild) or Red salsa(Hot). The green had good flavor but the red was a little to hot for me. The red tastes good but the heat sneaks up on you. The food was good, the service was quick and good, but the best part...3 pastor tacos for $4.50! You can't get fast food cheaper than that. This place tastes better and is cheaper, what a deal!!! Give them a try you won't regret it.

TacoQuest2016 at El Super Taco Jazzone and I recently went to a truckeria right in our own neighborhood that our friend Sheneneh recommend to us. It's on E. Oltorf near Burton in the parking lot of an old car wash. Pay attention or you'll pass it up and miss out. They have all the things we both need so much now just to get through our week. The barbacoa and the al pastor were good, tender and juicy without being greasy or fatty and the pastor has a little spice to it as well. The corn and flour tortillas did more than just hold it all together, they were tasty and had a great texture. We've had a lot of average tortillas lately and this was a nice change. The tacos come with cilantro and onions as they should and there are there are also pickled  jalapeños, and onions as well as onions pickled with what I think is habaneros. The Bang vs. Buck measure is favorable as these are some of the most affordable tacos we've had and although they aren't very big, we've certainly paid more money for less taco. Everything combines to give this place a solid B and an an easy $ for price. El Super Taco opens late in the afternoon and gets busy quickly so if you're in the area you may want to check them out. #TheTACOnnoisseurs, #TacoQuest2016, #bestfoodaustin, #Austintacos, #tacotuesday,#truckeria, #tacos, #texmonthly @Caruso4510, @Jazzone

That rush hour traffic in Austin is lethal. If it starts raining too, oh buddy, what a nightmare…read more Eventually you'll make it to your destination and if it's half as good as El Alma, it'll be a sigh of relief. I've driven by El Alma many times being in the Austin area, but I never went until last Thursday, and after surviving a brief monsoon, I was glad to get a few drinks and eat some good TexMex with my large party just before a wedding. The best way to describe El Alma is that it is TexMex that is Austinified. Everything feels a little more unique and special than your classic TexMex options. I started off with a Mezcal Margarita that put a little hair on my chest and got me going. My group ordered two of their Nachitos, which were these nice nachos. For my main entrée, I got 3 Al Pastor tacos on corn with a side of their rice and beans. Their pastor was served with pineapples, onions, and cilantro with limes on the side. They were great and I immediately crushed them all. I thought their rice and beans were pretty good as well and a step above the typical TexMex rice and beans. The server was pretty attentive throughout our whole visit, and I honestly have no complaints about what they had to offer. Pricing on the meal and drinks was pretty standard for Austin, and I didn't think anything really took me out of the experience. On top of that, for being in Barton Springs, there is quite a bit of parking. I would love to come back at some point in the future and hang out on their rooftop bar because that seems like a lot of fun. Shoutout to El Alma for being a TexMex oasis saving me from the MoPac traffic. RIYL: TexMex, but better than your average

But the five stars is for the guacamole. The Chicken Pibil Quesadilla "Pizza" (chihuahua, cotija, oaxaca, smoked tomatoes, jalapeño, chimichurri, crema, epazote) was good, but the guacamole was stellar, and we are picky. It could have been the pomegranate or the pickled jalapeño or the red onion (all listed on the menu), but I really think they juiced a whole lime. It is like "try to replicate at home" good. It is like "best thing we ate in Texas this trip besides maybe those two slices of butter cake" good.

We found their sign down on the street and decided to try them. Immediately upon walking in, we felt unwelcomed. We waited 10 minutes at the front desk for someone to even address us, and then were told to wait while they cleared off a table for us. Twenty minutes later, we went back up to ask about the table and were actually told by the staff that they forgot about it. Finally a table was set for us and we sat down. We all ordered drinks and asked for water at this point. The water was brought, but we waited and waited for our drinks. After another 20 minutes and watching the bartenders (who were not busy this evening) make no moves to make our drinks, we got up and left. I have never had such an experience at a restaurant before. I guess if you do not have a reservation, you are unwelcome here.

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!
