    Breakfast tacos to go.
    Heidi F.

    Incredible! Delicious breakfast and brunch taco beautifully delivered and made with care and love. You will probably wait in a line; wait. Being outside and enjoying nature is part of the experience.

    La Santa Barbacoa is a solid taco stop in Austin, especially if you're a barbacoa fan. The barbacoa taco was fresh and super juicy, with great flavor throughout. I also really liked how big the tortillas were -- they held everything together well and made the taco feel extra satisfying. Simple, well-executed, and definitely worth a stop when you're craving good barbacoa tacos.

    Strawberry Horchata (WITH REAL BERRIES)
    Ang F.

    Pro-tip: Just do yourselves a favor and go. SO good. Don't miss out on the Strawberry Horchata, either. Watch out Austin, this may be the best (okay, my favorite) taco spot in town. I didn't really look into the menu or details ahead of time, and I'm almost glad I didn't. I learned that they are Michelin recognized, and they deserve it. You know the meat/food is good when you don't need added sauces -- and that's saying a lot because the sauce is also really good. To drink: Strawberry Horchata or Amy of their freshly house made agua frescas (real ingredients, y'all). I'd you're not into that, you have Fleet Coffee right next door (their Horchata is tasty as well). To eat: Quesabarbacha (quesadilla filled with barbacoa, cheese, onions, cilantro) and the classic barbacoa tacos. Extra fun detail -- they serve their tacos on your choice of pressed to order corn tortillas (original, spinach, and beet). How neat is that?! With another location new to the W6th Clark's area, I know I'll be a frequent visitor.

    Migas taco burnt eggs
    Jennifer G.

    I have to say this review is for the secondary location by the west side shopping center. I generally go there as the location is on my way to work. I am not sure if there was a change in staff but my order was terrible. I got the migas taco and quesadilla barbacha. The tortillas was nothing like I have gotten before and the eggs burnt and not the fluffiness I am use to. The first location holds to standard but the second has not. I got the food to go for lunch and didn't even eat any of it sadly. I will try again but definatly need to check my order before I go.

    These tacos are among the best in Austin. The chefs invest a lot of time and effort into creating delicious, authentic barbacoa, which is then elevated with a unique Austin twist. While they may not be the traditional street tacos from Mexico, they are packed with flavors that will make your taste buds dance with joy. The homemade corn tortillas are made to order, and the barbacoa is both moist and delicious. I highly recommend trying the breakfast tacos. The atmosphere is beautiful and peaceful--definitely worth a visit! If you're looking for recommendations, I suggest trying the Tacos, Tortillas, Barbacoa Chilaquiles Bowl, Breakfast Tacos, Salsa, Sopes, Migas Barbacoa Breakfast Taco, and Chilaquiles Con Barbacoa.

    Breakfast barbacoa taco and potatoes barbacoa taco
    Carrie M.

    This is one of those taco spots where they take Mexican food, make it hipster, and put a big price tag on it. I didn't realize this beforehand, however, and just saw on my maps app that there was a taco truck that I hadn't been to on Manor. I've been to El Chilito, which is very close by, and has fabulous tacos for great prices. I had the potatoes barbacoa taco and breakfast barbacoa taco. They tasted great, but I was done with them in a few bites. They were so small, and it was $11 for the two of them. They don't post the prices on their menu, which I realized was a big red flag. The tacos are of high quality, but their small size and high price for a taco truck made this experience disappointing.

    Finally got to try the acclaimed La Santa and it did not let down! Fresh Barbacoa and ingredients, hand pressed corn tortillas fantastic portions and quality can't ask for much more. Can't wait to try more!

    I tried La Santa Barbacha at ACL and it was some of the best festival food I've ever had!! As I was walking around, people were asking where I got my tacos. The meat was tender and had so much flavor, loved the salsa verde too.

    migas taco and Benito
    Christopher P.

    TLDR: Trendy barbacoa-focused taco spot with a nice patio, but high prices and hype outpace the flavor; good overall, just not essential. La Santa Barbacha is a much-hyped East Austin spot operating out of the patio of The Long Goodbye, serving tacos, frescas, and a few specials with a heavy focus on barbacoa. They've been recognized as Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide and show up often on "best tacos in Austin" lists. Parking can be a little tricky because of the small gravel lot, but during the day, I didn't have any real issues. The outdoor seating area is charming: a covered, gravelly patio with white picnic tables and lots of greenery. On my visit, I tried three items: the migas taco, the Benito, and the quesabarbacha. The migas taco was a satisfying breakfast bite: definitely not bland, with a salty pop in every bite. The Benito leaned slightly sweet but still worked, thanks to the contrast between creamy refried beans, crunchy chicharrones, and rich barbacoa. The quesabarbacha was solid comfort food: melty, toasty cheese wrapped around tender, flavorful barbacoa. The tortillas were great across the board: warm, soft, and pleasantly flavorful, not the generic, stale-feeling kind some taco spots use. My main complaint is value. At around $6 per taco, the bill climbs quickly, and while everything was good, it didn't quite reach the level I expected at that price point. Overall, it's a fringe recommendation: tasty and very cute, but more about aesthetics than flavor.

    Barbacoa
    Stephanie K.

    DIOS MIO if you haven't had your taco today, RUN do not walk to La Santa Barbacha. Their Barbacoa (an inconceivably melt-in-your-mouth braised beef) in a simple beautiful handmade tortilla layered with fresh cotija, cilantro, and avocado IS EXCEPTIONAL. Elegant, simple, a perfect meal at the sweet tree-covered patio by the newly installed Westside Market (or to-go, but come, stay awhile). We're so lucky you're here.

    Chilaquiles

    I really want to like the chilaquiles here but each time they've been really soggy. Good flavorish as I still need to drown them in their salsas which are actually really good but the chips are just too soggy. If they were crispy this place would be a 4.3 out 5 but each time the chilaquiles are a big bowl of mush unfortunately. Also got their quesabarbacha which is just a big quesadilla with birra in it. With the salsa on it it's actually really solid. Ended up paying almost $40 with tip for the food so pretty steep especially for mid chilaquiles. If you're looking for some good ones maybe go to chilakillers or arandinas but definitely skip them here. I will say their little set up is really nice and love the greenery and ambiance of the place. Plus there's a little coffee shop here too which is nice. Overall if you skip the chilaquiles and get something else you'll probably love it here.

    Aguas frescas and migas tacos (no meat)
    Barbara S.

    My band mates and I visit Austin more or less every year for the Honk!TX festival, and we always hit this food truck at least once for breakfast tacos. Everything is fresh and delicious! The cantaloupe agua fresca is simply amazing. I've never tried the barbacoa - they're always happy to make a vegetarian version of their delicious food. ¡Muy sabroso!

    I ordered the potato and the migas. The food was so full of flavour and was so so tasty.

I should have gotten regular home fries, because the hashbrown casserole was cheesy and I wanted something to soak up the hollandaise and egg.

Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. While they validate parking for two hours, the information on their website about parking being $4 per hour after that for restaurant patrons is inaccurate. When we were driving out of the garage we were shocked to see a $48 bill at the machine. An attendant explained we have to tap the validated ticket twice to see the correct price, which was still $25 (the standard $12/hour charge). This parking situation was frustrating and unclear.

My biggest issue started before I even got seated. There is a QR code that you're required to use to join the waitlist/queue, but this is not clearly communicated on their website. You essentially have to arrive at the restaurant and figure it out once you're there. For a restaurant that is known for having long waits and high traffic, I feel like this information should be clearly stated online so people can plan accordingly. Once I joined the queue, I was number 43 and ended up waiting about an hour and a half before being seated. I understand that popular restaurants can have long wait times, but the lack of transparency about how the process works made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Once inside, the ambiance was actually quite quaint and charming. That said, considering how much traffic this restaurant gets, I was surprised by how limited the space is. I honestly think expanding the property would make a huge difference, although I understand that may not be entirely within their control. One thing I will give them major credit for is the menu. Online, the selection makes it look somewhat limited, but once you're there, they actually have 50+ food options, so there is plenty to choose from. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, my entrée was disappointing. I ordered a shredded beef taco with salsa and substituted a side salad. The beef was extremely tender, but unfortunately, it was also very dry. The salad was another disappointment because the vinaigrette was honestly not good. I don't think I've ever had a vinaigrette that I actively disliked until this meal. Thankfully, my fiancé had a much better experience. He ordered an enchilada and said it was one of the top five enchiladas he's ever had, so clearly there are some standout dishes on the menu. That definitely made me curious about trying something different if I ever return. I also really enjoyed that they offer hibiscus tea. I was very happy to see it on the menu, although I personally think it would be better served on its own rather than incorporated into one of their mixed drinks. The drink itself was just okay, but the hibiscus flavor was great. Overall, I can see why this place has become an Austin staple, but I think the experience could be improved significantly by making the waitlist process much clearer online and by improving the consistency of some of the food. The menu has a lot of potential, and clearly, some dishes are excellent! Unfortunately, mine just wasn't one of them.

Instead of bread, our server brought us a basket of seasoned popcorn. The popcorn had almost like a Cajun flair, but it wasn't spicy. It reminded me of the Ground Round chain from when I was a little girl. We decided to try the corndog shrimp appetizer. I couldn't decide on an entree because everything looked so good, so I did the Parmesan chicken and my coworker did the steak salad. The shrimp arrived so quickly with four large pieces of shrimp on a stick wrapped in corn dog batter and fried to a golden brown, with a blueberry mustard dipping sauce. The shrimp were delicious and while I didn't get much of the blueberry in the mustard, I enjoyed the sweetness it provided. My Parmesan chicken was a crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet with a lemon cream, artichoke hearts, and what appeared to be prosciutto on top. It was served with a side of pesto couscous with grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I wish I had ordered mashed potatoes on the side, because I wanted something to soak up the lemon cream sauce, which was the highlight of the chicken. We also were served 3 mini cornbread muffins with honey butter. My coworker said the salad was just okay, and was a little on the small side. The desserts were definitely a MUST and if you visit Moonshine and don't save room for the Espresso Brownie or the Peanut Butter Pie, you're going to regret it. The brownie was so fudgey and warm and served with ice cream. It was decadent. The peanut butter pie was the biggest slab of PB pie I've ever had with a thick Oreo crust. I wish I had someone with me to share it, it was huge. Overall, if I lived in the area I would definitely be back to try other things.

This was a beautiful and tasty sandwich! It was very filling, too. I highly recommend checking out this unique spot!

    The food is delicious, and the setting is unique, but the service is a bit slow…read more The restaurant is located in the lobby of the Scarbrough Building. It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method. I ordered the lox n found, a toasted croissant roll with smoked salmon, avocado, dill ricotta, arugula, onion, and capers. The menu says it also comes with a side of roasted potatoes, but mine didn't come with that. The sandwich was delicious and filling, so I definitely didn't need them, but I do feel like I didn't get what I paid for.

Mañana is located at the South Congress Hotel has coffee + tea, bakeshop and grab + go offerings (primarily water, kombucha, paletas and juices). Of course I was there for a latte spiked with black sesame vanilla (their most popular latte) according to my barista, which I paired with an almond bear claw. This was not your typical bear claw as it was not eye-squinting sweet but bursting with almond flavoring primarily in the center. It was almost like a crescendo in a symphony when you got to the center of the bear claw. My latte was flavorful in a subtle way with the sesame vanilla permeating throughout the latte. It is important to note that they make their own pastries and tacos each day. The pastries are a bit pricey costing more than my latte. The coffee shop has floor to ceiling windows on two sides with one of the windows opening into a courtyard with additional seating. The beautifully titled coffee bar immediately grabs your attention. In addition, service was quick and efficient. I was in and out the coffee shop within 10 minutes. I parked right in front of the coffee shop as it was early before the meters started to tick.
