One of the best al pastor tacos I've ever had!!! WOW! We ordered at the food truck outside and then went inside the bar to eat and watch the UT/OSU game. The shrimp taco was great too, but I loved my al pastor so much that I'd wished I'd gotten two of those.
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 !
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.
Weve ordered on delivery apps and been in person several times. The tacos and drinks are always solid.
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.
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.
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.
What fantastic tacos! Went with some friends and we ordered a variety. Everything was done well, everything we had was tasty. My favorite were the chilaquiles (great texture!) and the famous breakfast tacos of course. Service was fast and they really try to keep things moving. Pay to park here! read more

Stopped here for a breakfast taco because it's on all of the top tacos in Austin lists. Got my std bean egg chz and the recommended chilaqil taco. The bean egg chz was a C+ (see https://www.yelp.com/collection/dpNwED69i_Oi5YM4rgYwtg?utm_content=Collections&utm_source=share) for comparisons. Tortilla was small, soft, good chew, and on the thin side. The beans needed better flavor and the taco was very salty. The hot sauce (I got the hot) was liquid, not very tasty and not very hot I liked the melted queso fresco. The chilaquil was a C-, mainly because it was the saltiest taco I've ever had. I'm clearly an outlier reviewer, possibly because I'm used to Corpus Christi tacos, but this would not make the cut there. Give granny's a try and support a locally owned business. . The Austin hipsters like it, and you can strike up a conversation with several while you enjoy your meal. read more

Hands down, some of the best breakfast tacos in the country! Granny's is a must-visit food truck if you're in Austin. Reco the Chilaquil taco--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Simple atmosphere with a few picnic tables to eat outside. It does get busy on the weekends, but if you stop by on a weekday morning, the service is much quicker. Came here twice during my weekend trip to Austin. A must-try! read more

Overall: short sweet and straight to the point. Get your mouthwatering breakfast tacos with a choice of filling for only $3.50! The chorizo was quite flavorful rounding out the egg and potato and adding so much flavorful. The nice salty smokiness of the chorizo with the fluffy egg and the grilled potatoes. Also got to try the migas and rancheras and I must say the corn chip is such a weirdly cool but important combo. The tacos are generally soggy and mush but the chip adds an incredible crunch and texture that rounds out the taco. I'm surprised they could fit all that in! read more
Great little food truck that I have heard so much hype about. There's several picnic tables to eat at and lots of shade. The abeulas are kind of snappy but I get the vibe. I tried the Veggie Taco and Shrimp Taco. The Veggie Taco with egg kind of lacked flavor even after adding the sauce. The Shrimp Taco was a bit better but still I felt like I was missing something. Glad to have finally tried at this iconic Austin taco spot :) read more

Continues to be our #1 spot for Tacos in Austin! Picked up a bunch to take back to Dallas (Al Pastor, Abuela, and Campechano). Also a Campechano Torta. First time we tried their Torta, WOW was it delicious! Pro tip: try the Abuela and Campechano! read more

The breakfast tacos here are massive so well worth the price. What's even more value are the nachos. Ordered the nachos with carne asada and I was set for the day with meals. The nachos had fresh tortilla chips that were still crispy and not stale. The crema and avocado added to the texture and was perfect of a hot mid-summer's morning. read more

Omg! I LOVED Granny's. 100% would come back here. For breakfast tacos they have you pick three ingredients. Once you get your tacos they also have 3 different sauces for you to try. 6 tables with umbrellas for shade. Good price. I felt safe sitting by myself! read more

Shocking I haven't been here before today. I think it was the parking or lines every time I went by but this has been solved by Granny's Tacos building expansion! I will say the corn tortilla is the star. That being said we had a steak taco, Birria, shrimp and an Alambre. All were good...but when I say the handmade corn tortillas make them a solid it's true. They are one of the softest and most flavorful corn tortillas i have had. I will say max two tacos but if you go with someone 1.5 tacos. They are filling and flavorful. The steak was a classic but the tomatoes on top threw me off. A classic cilantro and onion with steak tacos is my fav. The shrimp was shockingly my partners favorite. The Birria was okay not one we would get again. As for the Alambre you defiantly only need one of those tacos! The combination of steak, chorizo, cheese, onions and avocado is a burst of flavor you will enjoy. Everyone was super kind and with the new expansion we enjoyed the outside seating area with the sounds of Selena. You can't help but dance a little as you eat...all in all I get why Granny's Tacos is a staple for East Austin. read more
Hands down the best tacos i have had till date. They were out of Mole sauce but provided other options that they could provide not on the menu (always check with the host). Tried the chicken and veggie tacos. The taco portions are huge (the filling). The sauce that came with the tacos is to die for. Delicious and super cheap! 5$/taco. They have small seating area next to the truck (picnic table setup). @Parking - Do not park next to the lot by thw truck. Recommend street parking a block away (way cheaper i.e. 2$/hr). The parking lot next to truck charges 17$/hr. Nope thanks. Highly recommend to try Grannys taco for breakfast or lunch! They are only there until 3pm. read more

I came for breakfast tacos, and they were amazing. Warm, delicious, comforting, with excellent sauces. They have a variety of excellent tacos but my favorite ended up being just potato, chorizo, and cheese. We also tried the Ranchero Taco and the Alambre Taco and they were both unique and delicious. My only small complaint is when you add egg to a taco, I think they add a bit too much and it can overwhelm everything else and also be too filling. I recommend grabbing coffee beforehand from Revival! read more

Mouthwatering and delish! I've been dying to try this place for so long and it was worth the wait. Loved the a Yelp and basic chorizo. We grabbed a coffee from Revival and then headed behind to Granny's. Can't wait to go try more! read more

Decided to try Granys Tacos, went on weekday morning, so not much crowded, Ordered chips with guacamole and salsa, Migas, shrimp taco and Rico taco. Loved the chips, they were thick and nice, not like thin, the one you get it in supermarkets. Migas and shrimp were good, my son absolutely love mole sauce, so obviously he got Rico taco, but he said it's too dry and more than that, way way too salty, so dint wanted to eat after a bite, hubby took a tiny bite and confirmed it, so that was absolute waste. Guy at the truck was good, if you're in the area, give it a try !! read more

Granny's Tacos has been our go-to place for our taco fix. Sometimes they are out of our favorite green salsa. Sometimes an ingredient or two gets forgotten, like a slice of avocado or bell peppers or jalapeño. But they've been pretty consistent lately, and everything has been on point. Tacos are generouly stuffed and very messy to eat. All is right with the world. Today I remembered to take photos before we started our feeding frenzy. read more
If I lived in Austin I would be in trouble, because I would be here every morning. This place is fire! We came by here for a quick snacky snack. Yes - I made that phrase up. We got the alambre with steak and the machaca breakfast taco. My favorite was prolly the alambre and the machaca was a close second. The juicy steak mixed with grilled onions and chorizo was so delicious. I don't know how I managed to take a picture, because it was gone in seconds. The breakfast taco was just as amazing even though it was a close second. The fluffy eggs combined with the creamy avocado, and perfectly marinated steak is a recipe for awesomeness. I also appreciate they have fresh jalapeños as opposed to pickled jalapeños. I highly recommend this place if you're in Austin and are craving some mouthwatering tacos. read more

Breakfast Taco was one of the food on our list in Austin. Everyone said we must try breakfast taco coming here so we did! Granny Taco is a food truck located on a busy street. There is street parking available and few spots in the parking lot. We got the breakfast taco, Ranchero and Mexican coke! There was some hiccups with our order. We wanted only egg and turkey sausage taco but got charged for chorizo as well. The guy who took our ordered insisted that we did order chorizo. There was no avocado in the ranchero because they were out. It would be nice if they tell us about any unavailable items before we order foods. Anyway always check your order and make sure it is correct. Lots of people ordered before us also got their orders wrong. Maybe it was an off day. There is outdoor seating near the truck and condiments are available upon request! There might be better breakfast taco place out there so I would probably explore other options! read more

Why 5 stars? Because I think I may have just eaten the best tacos of my life. --- --- --- Everything was going against me in this situation. I had just driven about 2 hours and 40 minutes from Houston. I had to pee pretty badly at the halfway point but elected to ride it out to the end. When I arrived in Austin, my bladder was approaching a Level 7 emergency (there are only 5 Levels). Of course, Granny's is only a food truck with no attached toilet for your convenience. I attempted to park in the nearest lot. When I swiped my credit card, the machine just said "Please wait" in perpetuity. Perpetuity in my case was probably 90 seconds, but it felt like 3.5 months before I just gave up and drove away. Chances of fraudulent charges hitting my account any day now = 87%. I looked around for street parking. Finally found a spot that looked halfway legit. A nearby sign said I could swipe my card or download an app. It felt like the end was near for me, so the amount of time it would have taken to download an app and set up an account made that option a non-starter. I quickly swiped my card, only for the machine to act like something happened, followed by it immediately returning to the main screen. Identity fraud #2 coming right up. Eventually, the machine worked. I somehow walked to Granny's, and then just past Granny's to a coffee/wine bar. I apologize to the owners here for using your restroom without making a purchase. Your plumbing saved my life on this day. ===Now that you know I lived, time for the actual Granny's review=== I was studying the menu, when the guy opened his window and asked what I wanted. I was overwhelmed and felt not quite ready, so I had to wing it. I knew that the Abuela Taco was the #1 highlight, so that's all I was certain I needed to order. I clumsily blurted out three others. Let's talk about them all: Abuela: Ironically, this is the only one that I was unimpressed by. It was fine, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't need to order it again. The other three? I could eat them every day for the next 50 years. The Shrimp, the Campechano and the Acambre. Sadly, I am not even 100% sure which was which between the latter two. I *think* The Campechano was my favorite, but I kind of got confused which was which. It's the one on the top-right in my photo. Either way, all three of these were just incredible. Every bite. Why do all tacos not taste like this? What does Granny's do differently? I have no idea. All I know is that a 5-star average with over 400 reviews as of my visit is well-deserved. It's going to be hard to come back to Austin again without stopping here. EDIT: Came back again on my last day in Austin. Ordered a migas and a breakfast taco with eggs, bacon and chorizo. All other tacos that I eat for the rest of my life will pale in comparison to Granny's. read more
And now for the actual, very first taco joint we visited as part of our Austin swing... Picture this: It's 9:30 in the morning. And there's already a long-line of disheveled millenial and maybe even younger looking patrons, yawning- patiently waiting for their breakfast taco fix. From this, their locally favorite taco food truck. The best thing we had here was their shrimp taco. I wouldn't put this place in my top 10 taco stands in Austin. But it was pretty delish. read more
