When I order nachos with beef fajita meat I know I'm going to get a meal for two. I ask for jalapeños and verde sauce. I live a few blocks from their location and by the time I get home everything is melded into an awesome Mexican mix of ingredients to kill for. It's been a very long time since I've had a better meal. I also love their burritos. I wish they were bigger. I would pay more for a California burrito if they were to introduce it. The bigger the better. Anyway. This is my neighborhood favorite. read more

I stopped by on a morning to pick up some tacos and must say, this place is super authentic! The prices are fair ($2/breakfast taco and ~3/taco for the jefes) There are other platters and larger taco specials for more, but I didn't get to try them. They cook it fresh and add plenty of meat! The tacos are pretty sizeable, larger than the ones at taco deli. They even have a little condiment bar with like 7 different sauces and also tomatoes! Excellent service and awesome Spanish music. Will be back soon for more! read more

Ok, so I've been on a roll with finding some pretty good Mexican cuisine spots this week! I came here in a bit of a rush during my lunch break and ordered a chicken taco plate to go; I only had 10 mins and they came through! The tacos were fresh and delicious, and the salsa bar (with little to-go containers) was an added bonus. The rice and beans left a little to be desired, but at about $8/plate (which included 3 tacos + rice and beans), I couldn't complain much. I'll be back to try more! read more

This review is for the Taqueria Jefe restaurant, not their taco stand up the street on Lamar & 183. I had lunch there today to see if it was just as good as their taco stand up the street. My memory was a little blurred due to a few beers then, so I wanted to make sure my taste buds were not easily fooled. I'm VERY glad that I made the short trip down the street to grab a bite. It is exactly as I remembered! The bistec tacos were really tender and the home made red salsa was spicy, but not too hot. They add fresh cut onions and cilantro to their tacos, this really brings out the flavors really nicely. This is what Mexican food should be, simple and fresh. Taqueria Jefes is turning out to be the real "Jefe" of tacos in my neighborhood. read more

Me gusta el coche cucaracha! Taqueria Jefes is a little taco bus parked in the edge of the parking lot of a corner store and laundromat near 183 and Lamar. The dining area is one small picnic bench right in front of the window where you order. They have supercheap tacos...the barbacoa taco I had was excelente, but the pastor, not so much. I saw a couple people ordering tortas to go from here, so that's what I plan on trying next time.... glad I found this place, now I can stop going to taco cabana late at night, this place was open at midnight, which is awesome read more

If you happen to need breakfast, a beer and some new car insurance, Taqueria Jefe's is your place! If you hang out long enough, there is even a pool hall/bar next door! One stop shop! I was feeling boring though, so I just had the breakfast. A decent selection of Mexican classics like Migas, breakfast tacos, burritos, heuvos rancheros, etc. All at very reasonable prices. The migas are only $3.99 and are in reality probably enough food for two. Breakfast burrito was also huge and quite tasty. Make sure to ask for the red and green salsas from the fridge - really good. Huge breakfast (we couldn't finish either) for two plus 3 cokes was out the door for $12.94 plus tip! The decor could stand for some improvements, but is fairly typical for a place like this. It seems reasonably clean. Bonus - they are open Sunday, which is more than I can say for my other usual breakfast taco spots in Central Austin. read more

I actually live like a 5 minute walk away from this restaurant and it's definitely a great place to stop by for breakfast! I always get the breakfast burrito (I think it's like $6-7) and it's huge, the tortillas taste handmade and the food is delicious. As others have mentioned, the salsa is a little spicy but honestly I think it's amazing. If you're looking for the normal tomato flavored/Pace-like salsa you won't find it here. I haven't tried any lunch options because the hours are so weird. Literally the only time I can even stop by to eat at this place is on Saturday because Sunday they're closed and every other day they open when I'm already at work and close at 3PM (this is why they lose 1 star). I've even had a few attempts when it's listed as being open and it was closed. Go figure. Regardless, stop by for a breakfast burrito on a Saturday! read more

I still need to visit the actual restaurant, but if their food is a fraction as awesome as the food from their cart just up the road, they'll still count as "amazing." I first found this place one night after having enough drinks that I was DEFINITELY in the mood for tacos, but I had just moved to north austin and didn't know where to find the best ones. So, being a scientist, I drove as far north on Lamar as the plentiful taco carts seemed to stretch and made the same order at each - 2 tacos al pastor (I figured just a single one might be a fluke). As it turned out, my last two tacos of the night (also my last two for the month - eating 10 tacos was not my best idea... Even if it was for science) were hands down the best. Since then, I've moved out of the area, but these tacos are so good, I'll even drive down from round rock at 2 am just to get some! Damn cravings... read more

This is a wonderful family run taqueria with excellent, inexpensive breakfast tacos, menudo, and tortas. I'm not a fan of their al pastor, but the tongue, chorizo, beans, and chicken are all good. Their red and green salsas are wonderfully spicy. They have beer, and get a mix of clientele. Definitely "authentic" and NOT Tex-Mex. A plus. read more

I've driven by El Alma many times being in the Austin area, but I never went until last Thursday, and after surviving a brief monsoon, I was glad to get a few drinks and eat some good TexMex with my large party just before a wedding. The best way to describe El Alma is that it is TexMex that is Austinified. Everything feels a little more unique and special than your classic TexMex options. I started off with a Mezcal Margarita that put a little hair on my chest and got me going. My group ordered two of their Nachitos, which were these nice nachos. For my main entrée, I got 3 Al Pastor tacos on corn with a side of their rice and beans. Their pastor was served with pineapples, onions, and cilantro with limes on the side. They were great and I immediately crushed them all. I thought their rice and beans were pretty good as well and a step above the typical TexMex rice and beans. The server was pretty attentive throughout our whole visit, and I honestly have no complaints about what they had to offer. Pricing on the meal and drinks was pretty standard for Austin, and I didn't think anything really took me out of the experience. On top of that, for being in Barton Springs, there is quite a bit of parking. I would love to come back at some point in the future and hang out on their rooftop bar because that seems like a lot of fun. Shoutout to El Alma for being a TexMex oasis saving me from the MoPac traffic. RIYL: TexMex, but better than your average

He brought warm chips and salsa...he gave great recommendations and we ordered a second drink... We told him when we wanted the food and it arrived soon after, and could not have been more delicious! Duck special with green mole, and chicken enchiladas suizas. So delicious all around! Love the decor. Beautiful light fixtures, warm Mexican vibe throughout...

Fonda San Miguel never disappoints! We visited on Cinco de Mayo with another couple, and as…read moreexpected, the place was packed--but we were pleasantly surprised to find a table fairly quickly on a first-come, first-served basis. We started with their famous house Margaritas with Tajín, and they were absolutely delicious--and definitely strong in the best way. My boyfriend and I shared the Ceviche Las Brisas, which was incredibly fresh with generous, perfectly cut pieces of fresh white fish from the Gulf of Mexico. For our main dish, we split the vegetable Enchiladas de Mole Poblano, served with rice and black refried beans. I wish the enchiladas had more vegetables. Everything on the plate was outstanding, and I truly think they have the best mole in town--rich, complex, and unforgettable. We were also celebrating a friend's birthday, and the staff made it extra special by surprising her with a complimentary Tres Leches cake, which was just as amazing as everything else we had. Great food, lively atmosphere, and wonderful service--Fonda San Miguel continues to be one of our favorite spots. We can't wait to go back!
