Decided to eat here spontaneously and it did not disappoint. There was a drive thru line where a sweet old man was taking our order. Even though we were indecisive, he was very patient with us. Also, they accept card! Our order came out really fast. We got the carnitas and carne asada since barbacoa and al pastor were out. The tacos were stuffed and tasted really good! Probably best tacos I've had in Austin in awhile. Really glad I went here!! read more

Come for the veggie tacos, stay for the green sauce. So yeah, the carnitas/whatnot tacos are kinda dry. You *could* drown them in the (remarkably awesome) green sauce, but, otoh, you could get the various veggie tacos which are *legit*! read more

These are the best tacos that I've had in a while! I came here around 8:30-9 AM; there were two cars ahead of me in line. The wait was about 10-15 minutes before the lady took my order. The food came out faster than I expected and it was very warm. Not too hot not too cold but stayed a decent temperature for the weather outside! The price was on par with other taco places nowadays. I will definitely be going back if I am in the area! read more

There's something about this place that I love, especially the barbacoa. Recently went there kinda late and it hit the spot. No frills just a decent taco stand with tasty food. read more

Food is great, lots of hiccups like payment, tipping, potholes in drive through lane, 100% accurate orders but the food makes it worth it, the house salsa and chips is awesome, it's a literal taco shack so it's expected! I hope the fixed their ac for the sake of the employees! read more

I don't really know what was going on in the kitchen the day I tried this place. I ordered several breakfast tacos with possibly too many ingredients on them but they arrived with a boring cheese and a tasteless tortilla. No matter how much salsa verde I added, I could barely stomach the flavor of these tacos. I am giving stars for the amazing ordering system they have, especially at the busy 8am hour. However, I would not return. read more

The food is spot on but if you're going for breakfast be prepared to have a long wait. Definitely recommend the chorizo!

Drive through ordering had someone come out to the car because of the long line. We ordered carnitas, al pastor, and buche tacos on corn tortilla, topped with cilantro and onion. We also got a barbocoa quesadilla. Took about 10 minutes after placing out order to pay and receive it from the drive through window -- and they take card btw! However, the pricing is inaccurate between the website and the actual onsite menu; it's 50 cents more expensive per taco and quesadilla, which is still very much a good deal! Just an FYI. All of what we got was VERY yummy and super worth the price. It is on the greasier side though. Crazy to think you can get this quality through drive through, so I'm definitely coming again! read more

Not great. Tacos smelled weird, Gordita fell apart, and the chicken had a lot of chewy fat that didn't taste good.

We were craving street tacos and we stopped to try them out here. Well, while the seating accommodations were lacking, we ordered the buche tacos and barbacoa tacos and we were pleasantly surprised! They give you double tortillas with each taco and they had onions and cilantro on top and the salsa in a jar to add to your tacos! They were not greasy and they were delicious! If you are craving Mexican Street tacos, this is the place to eat them at. They have a drive through which I would recommend since they only have like 10 stools to seat at and they have a variety of can and bottled sodas for you to drink. They don't offer tea , but we truly enjoyed the tacos! We will definitely come back! read more

El Tacorrido - Buche And barbacoa tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Well, another taco truck/trailer.. I saw it here the other day, but it was closed, so I think they must have just been in the process of opening (a new location).. or moving (from a previous Location) maybe? Not sure. While I waited on my order I looked at reviews for the locations.. and the low stars were a little bothersome, especially from a few select Yelpers I've come to like and respect (in the way of reviews).. I was sure hoping I would have a better experience.. for a couple reasons.. I was hungry as hell and I don't like having writing negative reviews for local joints, but the way I see it.. If I write one way, I need to write both... So it saddens me when a local place falls short. Im happy this little trailer did not disappoint this morning! Breakfast tacos $1.75 for 3 items and $.25 for additional items. can't go wrong with that. I ordered Bean, Egg, and Cheese Potato, Egg, and Cheese and they came with green sauce and red sauce. The tortilla... well, I could very much be wrong about this, but they sure tasted homemade.. not store-bought. And if they were, well, then I'd like to know where they came from, cause they were really good. Had a different flavor that reminded me of the tortillas a lady used to make for us when I was younger. The potato was, thankfully, "al dente" if you will.. and had a great flavor. The egg was fried nicely, more of a fried texture, then a soft scramble, which was a nice change. The beans also had a great flavor and were wholesome.. not a pile of mush, yet cooked completely. The tacos were filled generously, IMO.. no skimping there. The sauce? Yikes.. both of them had WONDERFUL flavors, but they were both too spicy for me. I really loved the flavor of the green sauce (avocado sauce) but could not handle the heat it packed. The service was spot on, Friendly. With a smile. Not a lot of chitter chatter (language thing, Im sure.. no problem though) Had no troubles ordering, or knowing she needed quarters as she was apparently running low.. and it just happened that I had about $10 worth in my bag that were left over from the kids at the festival. So we traded... helped us both out. I lightened my load and she has change now! Are they best? Probably not. Are they pretty good? Yes Service good? Yes Full of flavor? Yes Timely Service? Yes Will I go back? Oh yeah...absolutely. read more

For the price, you'd be much better off at Torchy's. The quality of all of the meats is subpar, with the exception of the fish taco. We sampled the chicarron, carne guisada, taco pescado, al pastor, fajita taco and a bacon, egg and cheese breakfast taco. Everything was spicy except for the fajita and breakfast taco. The horchata has too much cinnamon and is way too sweet. Extremely disappointed and won't be coming back read more

One of my go to taco places in all of Austin. Locally owned, quick service, and fantastic food.

The breakfast tacos are pretty good. Could be a lil better. I would not suggest going here for lunch or dinner though. The fajita meat they chop is so small and overcooked. And they will load it down with cilantro and onion so it feels like that's all you are eating. read more

Barbacoa is delicious, the best I've had here in Austin. Gorditas de chicharrón are soooo good. Salsa de molcajete is really good too. They're fast to get your order out read more

The young man working the register lacked any personality and wasn't very pleasant but, the women that worked and asked if I wanted chip and salsa or anything at all we're so nice and welcoming. The wait time was very long for 8 carne asada tacos with just corn tortillas, cilantro, and asada. Overall, the hot sauces and salsas were awesome and the food was good but not worth the wait. read more

The El Tacorrido on North Lamar is small and unassuming but the food is nothing similar to the pint-sized restaurant. The breakfast tacos are a massive rush of Latinax/Hispanic flavors, the beef tacos pack a forceful punch in all the right places, and the beef torta is an epic sandwich that even the hulk couldn't smash Needless to say I love El Taccorrido. The pricing is beyond fair and inexpensive. The women who give the restaurant life and my stomach tasteful bliss are kind, sassy but professional, and are open to giving us non-Spanish squares a patient chance to butcher their language with grace. read more

The lady who took my order was rude & she couldn't get my order right & got annoyed when i told her she kept messing up. Food was alright.. Nothing special, if the customer service would've been better I'd give them more stars. read more

I love this place so much, but it really let me down today. I ordered 4 tacos se bistec on corn tortilla and I got 4 tacos al pastor on flour. Friendly reminder to always check your food before you leave somewhere. I called to let someone know about my order and no one picked up. read more

so reasonable for being so damn good. the only bad thing is they do charge you for extra salsa and only give u a little bit which is annoying but oh well. the al pastor tacos are the absolute best. great place for some amazing drive thru tacos that aren't taco bell or taco cabana read more

Love this place brings me back to my teen years when I'd visit Aguascalientes, MX Bisteck tacos and gorditas are so delicious the salsa's are really good especially the Verde salsa. Only down fall is the drive thru wait time. It's simply Worth the wait.. :) read more

Drive thru window, affordable and delicious! Great spot to grab a taco on the way to work. They serve breakfast all day which I love!!

just got breakfast tacos with uncooked potatoes. service was fast but this food is terrible and i would have preferred a taco that i made myself read more

The tacos are delicious. My husband is from LA and these are the most authentic tacos here in Austin. The verde sauce perfectly accents the tender, flavorful el pastor tacos, which are my favorite. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but definitely worth the trip. read more

not nearly as good as the el tacorrido on south first ): wah completely different ingredients for a lot of their tacos
