Some solid tacos hidden within west campus. Not too pricey and still really delicious. I've never really had Carnitas, until coming here but these set a high expectation for them. The Asada and pastor are also really good! The lady in the front is always super friendly. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Jefes Street Tacos - a yellow food truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Tacos are super expensive for the quality and taste of the food. Tortillas were meh. Salsa was BOMB ! I would go back for salsa.

Food Truck Lot in downtown Austin just minutes from University of Texas off of Guadalupe Street. 3 street tacos for $ 6 - Carna Asada, Barbacoa and Carnitas. I prefer the Carna Asada and the Barbacoa and purchased a bottle of mexican coke. Simple quick and good and yes pretty reasonable on the pocket. read more

The environment leaves a lot to be desired because of the large amount flies, the front desk customer service is not inviting, the food smells spoiled, the taste is lackluster, and I can see why there is not a lot of people here often. I would not recommend you visit this restaurant. read more

I was on campus visiting UT McCombs and knew I needed to try some Austin tacos. It was unseasonably cold so I didn't want to walk too far -Jefe's was perfect because it was directly next to campus and sits in a little patio with other food options - a food truck for Taiwanese street food, Greek, Bahn Mi, and more. I ordered three tacos: barbacoa, pastor, and brisket. They were all AMAZING. I opted for avocado on top, but truly the meats were the star of the show. It was cold outside and the tacos were hot, juicy, flavorful and delicious. They were the perfect amount of fatty and the corn tortillas were warm and lightly grilled. If I am ever on the UT campus again I will for sure be back!! The people working there were also so friendly and the service was quick. These were some of my favorite tacos in Texas. read more

These tacos are extremely underrated. Some of the best tacos I've had in Austin. It is also very affordable. Just $6 for 3 tacos.

I love this place. Thank God for the Co-op Food Court. He hopes to stay here as long as he can. I love the tacos here and my friends do too! Real, authentic Mexican food! The manager of this particular trailer is superb. Since I never have time to eat my food there with my busy schedule of class and work right after, he's always been more than happy to oblige with my to-go requests. Today, I asked him to wrap each taco in foil so I can take it on the bus (hiding my food so they don't make me throw it away, ya know?!) and I really appreciate him so I tipped him over 50% :) He's sad to see me go since I'm graduating but I told him I'll still be around since I have a job downtown!! The tacos are amazing. I love the carnitas and it is my guilty pleasure. Not bland. Avocado is fresh! Plus, your corn tortillas are always doubled up. I've experienced some Tacodeli mishaps with corn tortillas...so I'm glad I don't have this issue here. I love this place. I really do and I hope you do too. read more

I've been stopping by Jefe's Street Tacos Trailer every now and then for the past year or so. The street tacos are an absolute steal for $5 or $6 (depending on if you use the Hooked app) for 3 tacos. I'm a fan of their carne asada and pastor meats. Their sauces also pair really well with the tacos, adding a great kick. My only beef with this place is how early they close. They shut down around 2 or 3 every day. As a college student, by the time I was out of classes (or out of bed), the trailer was already closed. That's obviously a personal problem. But, I would love to be able to eat these tacos for dinner sometimes! All in all, the food is great and absolutely worth the price, the owners are very nice and helpful to their customers, and I'll continue to pop over here every now and then. read more

Jefes Street Tacos - 2 Carne Asada and 1 Pastor Street Tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Holy Mary mother lord! Gonna start out with the barbacoa street taco. On corn with cilantro and onion! It's so good, that it's absolute pain to drive to your destination to eat it. The barbacoa is as lean as they can get it. Obviously they picked out as much fat as possible!!!! Next is the pastor street taco on corn with cilantro and white chopped onion! WOW! Holy mother! So good, the pastor is just right! I'm eating the taco with green salsa and its enormously great! Let me finish then on to the next taco review! I lied! I'm back on the pastor taco and it's equally as good with the orange/red salsa! Has the perfect texture, Jefe's tacos is the shit and I'm giving it 5 stars for sure. Ok I'm gonna finishing pastor then rate the carne asada! The carna asada meat is perfect. Splash some lime on there. Holy cow! This is what I think of when I think of street tacos! This is my first time and I rate the three tacos I had in the order I reviewed them!!! Glad I stubbled across Jefe's! read more

Got the $5 gordita with pastor, and with the green salsa it is the right amount of heat and flavor! Also, for the price, it's so much food! Lastly, (but not leastly?) the woman working there was super nice and the wait was nothing! read more

Delicious food! First time eating taco in United States. Nice experience! Barbacoa Street Taco. read more

I ordered the Barbacoa tacos and they were amazing!! My husband ordered carne asada, carnitas and Barbacoa tacos and he said they were good but the best one was Barbacoa. I tried the carnitas taco and it felt a little dry and I got a bite of my husbands asada quesadilla and the asada was ok it wasn't my favorite. I highly recommend the Barbacoa as choice of meat, so juicy and tender. Last thing the salsas are amazing I love the green one, it was definitely spicy but what's Mexican food without a little spice ? Lol read more

Get the quesadillas with pastor! Dip them in the hot sauce they give you, a match made in h-e-a-v-e-n!

Jefes Street Tacos - Asada, Carnitas and Pastor - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

I tried their carnitas quesadilla ($6.00) and it was ready pretty quickly and tasted just the way it should. I liked it because they skip the grilled veggies and pico de gallo that so many other places think belong in a quesadilla. This is just meat and cheese, and that's the way I like it. The person who took my order was very friendly, too. I'll go back anytime I'm near the Co-op or the Drag and looking for a quick and delicious quesadilla. read more

They ain't all that. Quite small. The pastor leaves something to be desired. The asada is better. Price per value isn't worth it. I'll save my dineros for Rosalita's Al Pastor on Riverside. read more

These tacos slayed. The line moved quickly, and the guy was extremely friendly. He gave me foil to take the tacos to go as well as a napkin and a cup of salsa. These are the truest street tacos near campus, and the 3 tacos for $6 is a sweet deal. I had both the carne asada and pastor, and both were delicious! read more

Jefes Street Tacos - Carne asada in the back & pastor (red) in the front - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

These tacos are the most authentic Mexican tacos I've found on the drag, I'm originally from a border town so it's neat that I found something comparable to the tacos back at home. Lots of meat and they're reasonably priced. The only thing about this location (food truck) is that sometimes it doesn't follow the listed hours. I've also had their quesadillas, they were delicious and their salsas are so good! read more

jefes has been a Thursday lunch staple for me and my coworkers for over a year. never disappointed, always fresh. this is real Mexican street tacos, nothing adulterated or fancy. I highly recommend the street tacos on corn tortillas for an authentic experience! read more

Jefes Street Tacos - jefes trailer - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Sorry, but these tacos just aren't very good. I got the carnitas, barbacoa, and pastor. They looked legit, they were the right size, and they had the right amount of onion/cilantro, so I was excited... But the carnitas were pretty dry and none of the meats were very well seasoned. I almost never pour salsa on a taco because they typically don't need it. But each taco was very lacking in flavor. These were just super "meh". A disappointing taco experience in such a taco-heavy city. read more

Over rated. Flavors on my torta were decent but bread was completely falling apart and some of the meat was tough and chunky.

Just discovered Jefe's from a friend's recommendation. This are some of the best tacos in town. My favorites are the carnitas and barbacoa on flour. So fast and great flavor! read more

Delicious tacos. Really nice customer service. The green sauce is probably the best part.

I had been wanting to try this food truck for a long time. Now I feel dumb for waiting so long! Hooked had a deal that was $5 for three street tacos and a drink, usually it's still $6 so pretty great price. Now with the quality, it's an even better price. VERY authentic and homemade tacos. The cilantro and onions were fresh and the meat, I had chicken fajita and carne asada, was savory and cooked just like a taco should be. The homemade hot sauces were delicious as well. Juan was manning the food truck and was friendly and very welcoming. Jefe' Street Tacos, you will have my business and I recommend this food truck to everyone in Austin! read more

I stop by everyday to get their amazing Barbacoa quesadillas! The amount of cheese Barbacoa onions and cilantro is perfect. The man and woman who run the trailer are always so nice and honest about the food. I highly recommend you try this place you won't be disappointed read more

Fantastic! Absolutely my favorite place to eat on the Drag. Their pastor is excellent. They are super friendly and very fast. Whenever I have ordered from any other food truck there I regret it because they are SO MUCH FASTER to serve than any of the others. read more

So freakin good! Just had it for lunch and reminds me of the tacos I use to eat back in the late 90's in Mexico after the clubs.
