Great hidden truck! Came here craving tacos after hiking Inga's trail. Tucked in a gas station lot this truck felt authentic like I had back in California. Was served immediately and ordered some asada tacos and pastor tacos. Was interested in a gorda so I ordered that and asked if they had a quesadilla which wasn't on the menu and they did! They had green and red sauce both very delicious and the red was spicy! Tacos were awesomely portioned with plenty of meat and onions and cilantro and they gave lines too. The quesadilla came with some avocado and sour cream too. There were some benches in the shade if you wanted to eat there and you know it's good if the manual labor guys get their lunch here! Would totally come back for more! read more

SO SAD. I was incredibly hopeful this was going to be AH-MAZING, but instead, it fell a bit flat. I'm a huge fan of the sauce. I believe the sauce is what ties everything together when it comes to breakfast tacos. However... the sauce was so mediocre, I actually THREW IT AWAY *GASP*. I'm torn. I ordered the Migas and the Potato and Egg Breakfast Tacos. If you are a migas enthusiast, you know migas is a compilation of crushed tostadas, eggs, tomatoes, chiles, and onions mixed with cheese. For some strange reason... La Traila adds refried beans to their mix... which completely takes away from the classics of a migas. read more

Honestly, I'm from the valley near the border of Mexico so finding semi decent Mexican tacos around Austin is impossible. La traila on the other hand really impressed me, their tortillas are super fresh and just how homemade Mexican tortillas should taste like. The inside was a omelette of goodness. I got el flako which is eggs, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, onion, and cheese served with real salsa verde. If you go YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT! read more

Do you like breakfast tacos? You live in Austin, of course you like Breakfast Tacos. Well then taco lover, you already know there are about a million choices in Austin when it comes to eggs wrapped in a tortilla. You can go ahead and add one more option to that already expansive list. La Trailá may not be the most exciting place, and it might not do anything really new or different, but damn it is pretty good. They have all the standard egg + meat (or potato, if you're into that) tacos as well as a few big specialty tacos. They also have this great spicy green salsa that is quite delicious. The tortillas are apparently all handmade as well, and that's pretty rad. The cost is pretty good as well. I pay roughly $1.50 for a eggs/meat taco, and roughly $2.75 for a eggs/meat/taters/avocado taco. So, La Trailá is pretty great even if it's pretty unexciting. If you happen to be driving down Mesa you should stop by and give it a shot. Oh yeah, and they are cash only... so make sure you bring some green paper. read more

Stumbled upon this place in the corner of a gas station parking lot across Anderson High School. It turned out to be a pretty great experience. When it comes to tacos, I have a few go-to's and favorites that I use to judge a place. I went with migas, tripas, and carne asada. All three were well done with the tripas being the best of the group. I know some people may not be a huge fan of tripe, but as someone who grew up in South Texas, good tripe on a homemade corn tortilla, topped with onion and cilantro is as good as it gets. This place definitely passed the test! The migas was pretty good as well (a notch or two below Veracruz), while the carne asada was above average. The tacos came with a mild red/orange salsa and a fiery hot green salsa, so be careful if you're sensitive to spice. Overall, this is a great spot to pick up a quick and cheap lunch. Everything came out to about $8 and the tacos came out hot and fresh in less than 5 minutes. read more

I found this place about a week ago on my way to work, and have been back twice for the lengua and barbacoa. While some have pointed out that Austin has a lot of good authentic breakfast tacos (completely true), that is absolutely not true of this part of Austin. So I am very appreciative of what these guys are doing: homemade corn tortillas and rich, intense salsa, without having to travel to Burnet or north Lamar. I also enjoyed the egg white, jalapeño, and avocado taco, pretty sweet. read more

This is my regular morning taco stop. All the guys who do construction in the area stop by here, so that's a good sign. Everything fresh, tortillas made by hand, they crack the eggs right as they put them on the stove. My wife is a big fan of the veggie El Flako (but she adds bacon, go figure). That's quite filling, as are the migas (which has refried beans) and the Anderson. I have gone minimalistic these days and just get the bacon and eggs. Cooked to perfection (not burned) and perfectly seasoned. They are $1.75 apiece (and they now take credit cards) and two are just right for me. I'm not a huge fan of the hot sauce but I'll take the green if I don't have any at home. You can get coffee and drinks at the Mini Mart, and there are a couple of tables outside. The tacos are so good that we ate thru 2 or 3 each a couple of weeks ago, and I was sent out to get some more. Now that's a mission I'll always accept! 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

Flat out. The food is unreal. The hamachi crudo is the best raw seafood dish I've had in any kind of short-term or long-term memory. The carne asada has a masterful balance of just enough smoky flavor and spice. As someone who's been cooking Mexican cuisine for decades, it's very difficult to properly assess how balanced those chiles will turn out. The pork chop was also unreal. We ate every bit off the bone. We live in NYC and eat nothing but great meals. This place is a standout for us in ATX. Can't wait to come back here when we are back in Austin.

Pretty mixed. The enfrijolada I wouldn't get again. It had a strong lemony flavor, especially from…read morethe veggies, and it took over everything. I wanted to taste the poblano, ricotta, and mole, but the acidity was too much. Guac was really good. The small slices of jalapeño gave it a nice kick. Chips were way too salty though. Esquites were just okay. I usually like a little sweetness, but these leaned more savory, not really my thing. Queso fundido wasn't for me either. The pickled chiles didn't work, I think onions and tomatoes would've been better. Machete was the best part. Huge portion, really good, and I added corn which made it even better.

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!

Thank god for valet, cuz that location is wretched…read more They run a tight ship - speedy and attentive - though some of the prices are whack. The bar staff seems a bit of a mixed bag but it's all good if you're just getting shots and beers. Margs seemed fine. Ambiance is the real winner here, but I clocked some table locations that seemed like real losers in that regard.
