Tejas Birria is definitely one of the best quesabirria spots in Austin…read more The tacos are freshly made, hot, crispy, and full of flavor.

Good sushi/handrolls are never overpowered by flavor, but in this case, the seasoning was very subtle.

Stumbled upon this awesome Mexican Food Trailer one weekday searching for some tasty breakfast…read moretacos. She was very nice and accommodating, and we had to try several as I spoke to some customers there who are repeat visitors and raved about her cooking. First off, she has homemade corn tortillas and they were fabulous! I've had homemade corn tortillas before and I'm not a big fan of corn tortillas in general as compared to flour because I guess they just have this corny flavor that was a bit too strong or didn't sit well. But wow when I tried her homemade corn tortillas they were so smooth and flavorful, and the corn flavor was delicate. You could tell when you tasted them that they were better quality than other corn tortillas and for the first time ever in my breakfast taco life I chose most all with corn tortillas over flour. That has never happened before until this visit to Tres Maria's. We got Migas, egg, bacon, and cheese, chorizo, egg, and cheese, Americana, and had to try Al Pastor. There was not a bad taco in the bunch. I think the egg bacon and cheese and the Americana were tops. One thing I noticed about her cooking is that she seasons conservatively so it's not too salty or over seasoned which I liked. Some people may view that as a little bland, but it still had great flavor just not over seasoned and I hate it when it's too salty. The chorizo, egg and cheese was not greasy at all, and I didn't feel horrible after eating it. She has quite a few repeat customers here and I spoke to them as it was my first time here to get their feedback. One couple ordered a burrito from her and I waited to see it and wow, it was Large Marge! She will make the burrito to your liking, and I even asked if she would grill it for me which I like and she said no problem! I loved her green salsa which was hot and it's your typical jalapeño with garlic and oil mix, my favorite. I liked the red salsa too, it was rustic. So many breakfast tacos and taco places to choose from but this lady here cranks out some delightful and delicious cuisine. Portions were perfect and she did not skimp on anything. But I'm telling you those homemade corn tortillas. She was so proud of them and I know why because they were by far the best corn tortillas I've ever had - no joke. She is very nice and has great energy and appreciates the business I highly recommend and I will definitely be back for more.

Sadly, the old truck with the fun lettering has been changed and they have a blue one, but the aesthetic has nothing to do with how good the food is. I finally had the chance a few days ago when I was meeting a friend for lunch. He typically goes for tacos, but I saw the list of "platillos" on the right side of the order window and thought a quesadilla would hit the spot. I had something in the back of my head tell me I should ask how big it was, and I'm glad I did because when she showed me how large the tortilla was, my eyes nearly fell outta my skull. It had to have been 10" in diameter. I asked, "why so big?" and her response was, "to be sure that you're full." I love it when they're looking out for us. She was cool enough to show me a smaller pack of tortillas, so we went with that one instead. I did a beef fajita quesadilla (SO flavorful) without the rice and beans that the plate typically comes with, and my friend did a potato, egg, and cheese taco. Our grand total was $14. I did order in Spanish, but I think you could probably get by with English just fine. Plus, they take cards, so no worries there.
