    As a Mexican myself, I don't hand out compliments lightly when it comes to Mexican food. I grew up…read moreknowing what homemade cooking should taste like, and this restaurant absolutely delivers. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it's a true family-owned restaurant. The mother and daughter genuinely care about every customer, and that warmth shows in both their hospitality and the food they serve. What impressed me the most is that nearly everything is made from scratch. The salsas have that fresh, homemade flavor you rarely find anymore, and the meats are cooked fresh and sautéed to order instead of tasting like they've been sitting around. Every bite tastes like someone actually took the time to prepare it with care. You can tell they take pride in preserving authentic Mexican cooking rather than cutting corners with prepackaged ingredients. It's the kind of place that reminds me of eating at a family member's home instead of a commercial restaurant. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food made with fresh ingredients, homemade recipes, and served by people who genuinely care about their customers, I highly recommend giving this family-owned restaurant a try. Supporting local businesses like this helps keep real homemade Mexican cooking alive, and they absolutely deserve the recognition.

    We had to improvise for a meal plan one night while on our trip to Austin. The place we wanted to…read morego to was simply filled up and the wait was quite lengthy. So we spotted Tamale House East nearby and at first we were a little bit concerned with the overall Yelp averaged score but we decided to proceed anyway and have a meal here. And I am very glad we did! We got some chips and salsa and it was very good! In addition to that I got the Texas Sized Tamale Plate. The tamale was good! There were a few different sauces to pick from and I went with the Tex-Mex Chili for my sauce on top of the tamale. In addition to that I got rice and beans to go along with the plate and those were enjoyable as well. Of course I had to get a margarita and that was nice and refreshing on the warmer day we were experiencing in Austin. No complaints really. The atmosphere is nice and the decor is attractive. I saw some reviews about the service being a bit slow and it sort of was so probably if you anticipate getting into a time crunch best manage your time where you can just kick back and enjoy the food and drink rather adding that stressor on.

It was pretty big and filling as well. Cons-They cannot sell drinks so you'll have to walk into the gas station to get your drinks. Will come back next time I drive through Hutto.

    Yyyyaaasss!!! Gotta love Facebook neighbors group to introduce you to awesome eats locally. I was…read moreon the hunt for a breakfast taco as I have been craving some for some time. The truck is a beautiful color and it stands out. Easy to find it near the gas station. I wanted to try all of the specialty tacos so I ordered one of everything: migas, ulitimo (sausage, chorizo bacon and egg), brisket, picadillo. I ordered a traditional taco as well (bacon and egg taco). Once you order from the window, they bring your order to your car. You can also call ahead with your ahead. Didn't take long at all to get my tacos. This is very convenient so you don't have to stand outside and can sit in your car jamming out to Harry Styles. The picadillo taco was good. They definitely flavor their meat. Yum! The migas taco was also good. The brisket taco was full of meat and very moist. The ultimo taco was a burst of flavor with all the meats and seasoning. Loved it! While the bacon and egg taco was good...specialty tacos are where it's at!!! Yyyaaasss!! Loved the tacos here and can't wait to try more things. Welcome to the area!

    These are some of the absolute best tacos I've had in my life. Me and my friends come here on a…read moreconsistent basis and everything is always so wonderful. The tortillas have wonderful flavor, the meat is perfectly cooked and the salsa are phenomenal. Their drinks are also great. I don't ever go anywhere else for tacos!!!!

    Came on a Tuesday for a mid workday lunch with some friends, and this spot was pretty busy. Plenty…read moreof seating inside, very chill, homestyle feeling Mexican joint with great tacos. Seems like a lot of people stop by here midday for lunch. Prices were fantastic, honestly some of the most affordable taco prices I've seen in Austin in a while. Al pastor tacos were listed around $2 each, and some of their other tacos ran a little more standard, around $3 or so. They also offer nachos and burritos. They have fries too, though I was a little bummed they don't have al pastor fries specifically, since I'm a sucker for those. Otherwise they've got all the standard Mexican plates and dishes covered. Al Pastor Quesadilla ($11.99, 6/10) - Comes with four quesadillas filled with al pastor meat, plus a side of sour cream, salsa, and guacamole - Portions were moderate to slightly small, wished they were a bit bigger - Wanted them a little crispier, they were hot but not the crispiest, and the cheese was melty but the overall texture felt like a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the meal - Al pastor itself was very delicious though, that part redeemed the dish - They also have red and green side sauces, the green is super spicy, the red is spicy too but a little creamier. If I come back, I'd probably just get a bunch of al pastor tacos instead and skip the quesadillas. If you're someone who likes super crispy quesadillas, you might want to skip this one too, though it's possible mine just wasn't as crispy as it could've been on this particular visit. Overall, super chill spot with great prices and good al pastor, true to the restaurant's name. Would come back for a quick bite, but might steer clear of the quesadillas next time.
