    Great tasting tacos! I'm glad we were able to get in when it wasn't too crowded. I really enjoyed the Al pastor taco. Will definitely be back!

    Trio of al pastor, chorizo, and lengua tacos.

    Wow! This was an unexpected find but a happy one. Stopped in to try out the tacos and was very pleased with the amazing selection of taco proteins and a decent menu overall. The storefront is definitely vintage but the food and service are awesome. I ordered a trio of tacos: al pastor, chorizo, and lengua (tongue), which I hadn't had since I lived in Chicago. All of the meat was nicely cooked, tender, juicy and flavorful. Highly recommended.

    I went by surprise as i saw a lowkey taco spot as i drove by. i had a different impression since the menu pictures here are outdated. Nonetheless, i got myself two tacos, one al pastor and another carne asada, as well as a sope with beef fajitas. i was left pretty satisfied, but parched since i thought there were going to be drinks, but only a fridge with generic drinks.

    Note: This review is for their new north location on Pond Springs After a lovely Sunday of buying awesome Mexican Metal yard art with which to adorn our fences and deck, the hubs and I were craving some serious Mexican eats! We found La Montana here on Yelp, and away we went! First, I just have to pay homage to that INCREDIBLE (and strong!) frozen margarita that we had! I opted for a large, and it was. Hubby and I shared it, and we both felt like we were whisked straight back to Cancun! Seriously delightful, and not too sweet! Equally delightful were the chips and salsa! The chips there are reminiscent of Houston's legendary Ninfa's on Navigation, if you're familiar with that yummy place! Thin and crispy! And that salsa? Beyond fresh and bright, y'all! We could have easily polished off two or three baskets with a vat of salsa! On to the meal: My husband had the Tinga, the Asada, and the Trompo tacos, just to get a feel for the place, and he was BLOWN away by the deliciousness and the authenticity of each of them! He said that he could easily imagine himself buying them from a street vendor in Mexico, which is the highest compliment! What makes them even more special is the gorgeous and warm handmade corn tortillas that they arrived in. Topping them with a bit of that aforementioned salsa made them just that much more dreamy for him! If you thought that my husband was losing his mind over the tacos, it was officially BLOWN by La Montana's Caldo de Res! Suffice it to say that HE LOVED IT! Caldo is his jam, and this one was simply the best that he's ever had. He called it stupidly crave-worthy and absolutely perfect. Full stop. You can trust him on that, if you're the caldo sort! Go grab some ASAP! As for me, after that enormous rita and all of those chips and salsa, I opted for just one Beef Fajita Taco with a side of crema, and it was AWESOME! I could totally see what hubs was talking about with his taco love! It was legit! Speaking of legit, this is authentic Mexican food, which is definitely what we were looking for! If you're looking for that oozy, gooey, cheesy Tex Mex-style Mexican food, you might want to hit up Matt's, but, if you're down to take a stroll through Mexico proper, gastronomically-speaking, hit up La Montana! You'll love it! The price is right, too! No downsides! Only ups! They're relatively new at this location, so they could definitely use your patronage, particularly during these times! Go grab a margarita, and say hi to our adorable server, Leniel, while you're there! Cheers, y'all!

    Bacon, egg, cheese and grilled jalapeños on a flour tortilla. So dank.

    I've been looking around for the best breakfast tacos in this area and landed on La Montaña. Homemade tortillas with a perfect flavor stuffed with bacon, egg, cheese and grilled jalapeños is what gets me moving in the morning. Highly recommended this place. Don't let the appearance full you. This place slams. Note to owner... If you painted your sign, you'd get more business. Keep up the amazing cooking because you've now become my favorite Mexican restaurant in town!

    Ever come across a place and wondered how come I missed this while browsing....I had to go to the first review and its been open since 2017...after our Breakfast Taco outing, I though about how much I have missed out. These Tacos are excellent!!....Scratch made flour tortilla all day....We both had the same....Chorizo, Egg and Cheese and a Bacon, Egg and Cheese...You dont expect much on presentation when getting BT to go, but this place is different. Served flat on a tray and covered with foil...Looking at it made them all that much better. Permanent Book mark for this place.

    Pastor, pastor, carnitas, tinga
    Patrick C.

    I did it. I came back when I visited Austin again. Damn was it worth it! The tacos were just as good as I remember, though the prices have (reasonably) increased a bit. Still very affordable though, especially when compared to larger, less-delicious, gentrified tacos you can find at places that rhyme with "Porchy's Pacos." The pastor tacos remain the undefeated champ, but the carnitas and tinga tacos also earned their spots in the winners' circle.

    Best to go in the morning or lunchtime. The meat seems to be fresher then. If you go near closing time you're taking your chances

    Food and service was amazing. I'd recommend buying food for the table and sharing with everyoneread more

    Best meal of the Austin trip: upscale tacos and housemade masa in a welcoming space…read more Food: 5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Waitress Kelly was wonderful and so professional. She noticed I was ordering dairy items on side and asked about if pesto in guacamole was ok. So astute and kind of her. Also on my friends second drink remembered she didn't want salt or her rim without even asking - Everything tasted so fresh and high quality - Brisket tacos: packed with flavor--maybe it was the wagyu meat or the black magic oil. Freshly made corn tortillas were awesome. Usually corn ones and pretty throwaway meh, but these added to the greatness of the tacos. 5 stars - Duck flautas: crispy covered in mild mole. Loved the mashed potato addition inside for some mellowness and texture. 5 stars - Guacamole: so fresh and that dollop of pesto on top was lovely. Served with crispy masa dippers were impressive almost a 8x11 page size. It was fun to crack off into pieces, but hard to stop eating it. 5 stars - Sweet potato: friend loved these long charred wedges. 4.5 stars - Cocktails were stellar. I got the Don Dario which was a play on a marg and delightful - $12 of a few drinks during lucky hour (Mon-Fri 5-6pm, Sat-Sun 3-5pm) - High energy vibes in a clean, open, tan colored space - Had their bottle water on the table in a champagne bottle which speaks to my heart Midlights: - In East Austin so have to Uber if you are staying more central - Tacos come in orders of 4. Wish it was less so we could've tried more variety. Lowlights - No food discounts for lucky hour - Didn't have time to try the choco taco which looked amaze - Large gap of time between items first few items coming out and the rest

Arriba Abajo as you walked in just gave me all the vibes of a happening place when you want to hang out with friends and have a great time. We ordered the braised ribs rolled tacos for appetizers.

For lunch I ordered the Carneasada Fajitas with chimichurri and my husband ordered the Carneasada Taqueria. With my fajitas came a side of frijoles, green rice & flour tortillas. Corn flour was the other option. Both meals came in pipin' hot & the smell coming from both was very aromatic, zesty & spice. Amazing taste, flavors, just the right amount of marinade on the Carneasada with a hint of lime. It was so delicious while enjoying the ambiance. Our server was a delight and took very good care of us. We didn't order any of their alcoholic beverages since we were both working, but definitely we will be back to enjoy more food and try out their beverages.

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

    As a Texas native & Austinite, my boyfriend has been going to Fonda for years (they've been around…read moresince 1975 after all). I've only been once and it's definitely not gonna be the last time. In fact, we've got an upcoming reservation that's been on the books for quite sometime. They've managed to remain delicious, relevant and in demand 50 years! That's saying something. I'll tell you what that says...it says they rule! Reservations can be tricky to get but oh so worth it. The bar & atrium are fantastic and they boast a generous happy hour. The restaurant area and entire space are decorated wonderfully. Amazing artwork adorns the walls, they've got extensive art all about, vaulted ceilings and more. It's kind of like being in a hacienda. It feels like you're in Mexico. Truly. The restaurant and food are upscale without being pretentious. How refreshing! Speaking of refreshing...they've got cocktails and mocktails that will knock your socks off. I'm a big fan of the Nojito. My boyfriend loves the Mexican martini (it's primo). Let's talk about food. Wow-wee is it everything and then some. This is the kind of Tex-Mex flavor that sends your tastebuds into a tailspin of goodness! On our visit we did a salsa flight (we did 3 salsas), the queso (melted muenster and Oaxacan), Wagyu beef tacos, and chicken verde enchiladas. We did a spread like that in order to share everything. Food so good I'd give ten stars if I could. I can't put my finger on it but there's just something so special about the food, the taste of it, and the quality. It's just incredible flavor explosion bite after bite. If I had to guess, I'd say the food has been made with love, skill, and attention to detail all these years. Hence, their amazing reputation. Service is beyond compare. Hands down some of the best I've experienced in all of my worldly travels. Fonda San Miguel (Tzintzuntzan) is a dream come true!
