    Al Pastor Taco
    Rebecca N.

    I decided to check this spot out because of the great reviews and it was super close to where I was at. The truck is set up in a nice area with seats and tables in shade and street parking was easy enough to find on a Sunday morning. The service was friendly and quick as well. The food unfortunately was not great and my other two friends agreed. Al pastor tacos 1/5- The tortillas were good and I believe they make them fresh however the pork it's self was dry, the flavor was bland, and there was no pineapple on the taco when it states on the description it comes with pineapple. Some of the worst I've had. Breakfast tacos 3/5- As you can see by the photo, I got an egg, beans, and bacon taco and an eggs, chorizo, and beans taco and both were fine. The eggs were cooked perfectly and again the tortilla was good. The chorizo and eggs had a nice flavor and I'd get it again if I had to come back. Unfortunately they didn't mix in the bacon into the eggs which feels very lazy and is awkward to eat. The beans were super bland so they ruined both tacos rather than adding to it. Also, they only added it on half of the taco and eggs on the other half as you can see on my photo which felt weird to eat cause I had bites of just straight beans and no egg. The red sauce was not super spicy and the green wasn't either but the red is spicier than the green. This place isn't horrible but I won't be back. I expected a lot more considering the crazy reviews.

    I've been wanting to go to Granny's Tacos for the longest time, and I'm glad I was finally in the area to try it! I got a shrimp taco and their taco plate/bowl, and both were really delicious. The shrimp taco was filled with shrimp and sauce, and the burrito bowl was very filling. I highly recommend!

    His place was a good late night snacks, service was okay, and it's pretty nice. Went here after the game and it was really cool! Nice place to hang out !

    Weve ordered on delivery apps and been in person several times. The tacos and drinks are always solid.

    How can you miss breakfast tacos when you're in Austin? Showed up to Granny's yesterday & it didn't disappoint us. They make tacos from a food truck outside and they'll bring it inside. You have to order, pay first & find a table for yourself. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get your food. We ordered - Birria taco - Chilaquiles taco - Migas taco - Alambre taco - Chips w guacamole Chilaquiles taco I had was okay but Birria was out of this world. This has to be the best Birria taco I've ever had. Salsa/sauces are equally important for a taco as it elevates the taco it to stratosphere. Both Red/Green sauces were so good. Ambiance: They had a couple of TV & tables inside/outside the restaurant were okay. They also had a mini cafe on the other side of the restaurant. Parking can get a little tricky during peak hours.

    I came in with a group of visiting friends and was pleasantly surprised to find good, reasonably priced tacos here in East Austin. The tacos were about $5-6 and came with lots of meat. The space was a bit confusing because it seemed like there was an outdoor patio in the back and a covered patio on the side and a food truck in the back, but we chose to sit in the side patio which was nice. This was perfect for brunch after a night out.

    Bacon egg cheese taco
    Novalina N.

    My breakfast tacos were delicious! The cheese can be melted more but no biggie. The ordering process was kind of confusing, though. Everyone went to the food truck to order, but then we were all told to go to the bar instead. Also, it'd be way easier if there were a buzzer to let you know when your food's ready, instead of giving your name to the truck and having to keep checking. Maybe this is a new system, but it felt a bit clunky.

    Abuela
    Kaleigh H.

    I knew as soon as I walked up to this trailer it would be some of the best tacos of my life. I got one abuela, two birria and one al pastor. Al pastor topped with lime and the consume from the birria is a taco I'll think about until I'm dead. If I find myself in Austin again anytime soon I will absolutely make sure to come back here. The staff was kind and the food came out promptly.

    Very nicely marinated chicken in the quesadilla
    Tina T.

    Their chicken quesadilla is even better than Veracruz, and Veracruz's quesadilla kicks ass. Also their alambres taco is the best I've ever had, ever. No weird gristle or anything.

    Bacon, egg and spinach taco
    Jojuane P.

    After I leave the gym, I go here as it's across the street. Therefore, I've only eaten the breakfast tacos and it's good. My "gripes" which are quibbles is the tortillas don't hold up to eat like a taco. The plus side is you're not being shorted on food. When I order the bacon, i would like more than one piece of bacon and will ask next time now that i am dialed in on this and last thing is to offer both red and green sauce instead of only one and if you want another you're charged.

    I am a Granny's OG - have been coming here for several years starting out when she and her husband were running the show. She made the best salsa and her tacos were always high-quality and large Marge. She always treated me like a grandson when I showed up. Now her family runs the show and I was eager to see how things would be and sure enough. I was very pleased to see their quality has maintained, and the tacos are still pretty well sized. they recently expanded to the building next to their trailer, which is a really really nice spread. There are tables to sit but inside is AC cooled and nice seating and a bar area as well. Almost like a mini coffee shop, but there's a lot of room here and I was really impressed. I love the Chilaquiles with the red Mole and I had an egg. We also got another taco with beef and egg. And I love their broccoli cheese egg taco. My friend visiting Town just loved their quality and this was one of his favorite breakfast taco experiences. I will make sure to continue to go back here more consistently as I was very pleased to see that what made them great is still present - really good quality, tacos and ingredients and portions. Love their green and Molcajete sauce. Definitely a must for out-of-town visitors as well

    Granny's goes hard. The perfect quick tacos to fix your hunger or hangover needs. My go to is the picadillo but they are all fire. You won't regret trying this place. It's the perfect spot if you don't want a full brunch play, but want the quick satisfaction of a great breakfast. Oh and don't forget to ask for the green sauce! You're welcome.

    Finally got to try some of the best tacos in town and they did not let me down! Generous servings, fresh ingredients and all around amazing quality tacos on the east side. A staple!

    Perfect spot for late-night tacos!…read more The best part is that they have great vegetarian options, including both paneer and tofu tacos, and both are absolutely delicious. It's not always easy to find flavorful vegetarian tacos, so this place was a pleasant surprise. I loved it so much that I ended up visiting twice during my two-day trip to Austin. If you're in the city, this place is definitely worth checking out!

    Needed a quick bite and walked two blocks from my hotel straight into downtown Austin's busy…read moreCongress Avenue stretch, right at the corner of 6th Street in the middle of the Warehouse District energy. Sixth Street's neon and noise are basically next door, the Capitol sits up the hill, and the whole area is packed with people, bars, and that classic Austin mix of polished downtown hustle and late-night chaos. Velvet Taco is pure counter-service: you walk right up, order at the register, and then grab a seat. There's plenty of seating, so even with a couple of kids in tow it was no problem finding a spot. The place leans hard into what can only be called white-people tacos--soft, sad flour tortillas that taste like they came straight out of a grocery-store package, loaded with every wild creation the kitchen can invent. Global mashups, brunch hybrids, burger impostors, the works. No one is pretending these are the real deal. I went for the chicken-and-waffles taco, which was actually built on a thin, real waffle instead of a tortilla. Surprisingly good--crispy, a little sweet, chicken holding its own. The burger taco tasted exactly like a cheeseburger that had wandered into a tortilla and decided to stay. We also tried the shrimp taco (fine), one daughter got the kids' chicken taco (perfectly kid-level), and the other ordered the chicken tikka (spicy, saucy, and very much in the "why is this on a tortilla?" category). Everything was okay. Comparable to Torchy's in that same creative-American-taco lane. If you're looking for a true Mexican taco, stay far away. But if you just want to play around with some decent flavors on a cheap flour store-bought tortilla while sitting in the middle of downtown Austin, this is your spot. Not my favorite. Glad I tried it. Won't be back.

    OMG where do I start? My plans started horribly today, and I didn't even plan on eating here today,…read morebut the food here at Veracruz All Natural completely turned my day around. I had only stopped by this Food Truck (area) to try Desnudo Coffee, and spotted this business. I had heard some good things about Veracruz, but I was planning lunch elsewhere. Well, that other spot was CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS! Seeing my situation, I saw it as opportunity to try the options at Veracruz --- including the famous from Food Network, migas taco. I ordered 4 tacos: the migas, migas poblano, shrimp macha (!!), and the Dona Reyna tacos. All of these specific tacos were priced between $6 and $6.75 per taco, not bad in Austin, and not bad considering the quality of said tacos. As you can see from my order, I opted on the more "novel" choices and they did not disappoint; that said, I do HIGHLY recommend the two variations of the migas taco and the shrimp macha taco. Oh, the shrimp macha was so FIRE, the flavors were bold and smoky with a kiss of heat. The migas tacos were FULLY LOADED, and the scramble with the tortilla chips were flavorul. TIP: They will ask corn or flour --- do flour. Everything is handmade, but those corn tortillas fall apart with all the sauce. Flour = durable and flavorful. I had plans, but the Universe had other plans for me that were superior. Try Veracruz All Natural --- and if your limited on $$$, you can snag 3 EXCEPTIONAL LOADED TACOS for about $20, that you will not find anywhere else!

I walked into this unassuming restaurant and perused the menu, which felt like Mexican tarot cards. Pictures. Titles. Small description. It all looked basic. But simple food made with fresh ingredients and seasoned well has won Michelin stars. Unfortunately, I don't foresee them receiving one. The al pastor taco was tasty. The steak taco had too much fat in it. If I was strictly bashing this review on the food. I'd give it a three. It's not worth the price. Now, the service seemed to be decent until I didn't put a tip on my takeout order. Things seemed to go south. When my name was called, I grabbed the small paper bag and paused. No guacamole. If I hadn't have looked, I could've walked a really long wasteful before noticing. Maybe long enough to not go back. The last behind the counter, said okay I'll get it. It felt like a chore. I said thank you and made the long walk fighting the heat of the dragon's breath once again. The story does not stop there, I thought 3 tacos, a drink, and guacamole couldn't honestly cost $43. The guilt of spending that kind of money on such little food that was also just average, screamed in my conscience. Well, that was because the woman also had not given me my tres leches, which was going to be for my wife. I took the long walk back, stood at the counter for what felt like 10 minutes,and again it felt like a chore to get me what I paid for. No sorry. I would suggest taking a little longer walk to Taqueria de Diez
