Macho's Taco just set the bar for Migas. Eleven bucks for a plate that is unreal. I thought the potatoes looked a little underdone at first, but they turned out insanely crispy and packed with flavor. The woman behind the counter is the heart of the place. She knows everyone by name, remembers birthdays, and even knows people's usual orders before they say a word. It gives the whole spot a true neighborhood feel. The sauces are spectacular. The orange and the green both bring real heat and make every bite better. If you want amazing Migas with service that feels personal, this is the place. This was my first time visiting for an appointment far south, gladly return if in the area again! read more

Great little dirty spoon taco place. Ambiance: Doesn't really have any to speak of simply a few tables and counter service. But, you don't come here for the ambiance. Service: You place your order at the counter and they deliver it to your table. Nothing special but, the service is always with a smile and the girls are always special to talk to. Food: If you're looking for the best tacos in Austin, this is the place to go. The Barbacoa (Mexican brisket) is a rich, shredded beef dish made by slow-cooking brisket with chipotle peppers, lime, cumin, and garlic until fall-apart tender. It is simply fantastic. Finally, their American breakfast pancakes are scrumptious. If you're in South Austin make this a must stop place. read more

I went back today and again was sufficiently satisfied with my meal. I generally go once or twice a month and almost without fail, they are very good. Mari and her staff are amazing and always in a good frame of mind. I'm glad I have found this place. Keep up the great work! read more

Always friendly service here. The lady who takes the orders is so nice and uplifts a room and a mood. Place is clean and has seating and parking. Can fill up fast so be prepared. Had the puffy tacos and I was in Love. I have also had the egg and chorizo breakfast tacos. I had two and I could not finish my second one because they were so big. MY's my go to when I am in south Austin. read more

Wow! I stopped by Macho Taco this morning for the first time and it definitely won't be my last! I loved everything about my visit, the restaurant is super clean and very cute. The staff was very nice as well and the food was beyond my expectations! I got a breakfast burrito and it's the best breakfast burrito I have had thus far! Super yummy read more

The food is really good here! The service is great. They get to know their customers and remember them when they return. One of the only good lunch spots in the area. Feel like home read more

Macho Taco; you blink and you drive right by. But if you stop, you will enjoy a good taco. Breakfast tacos are huge and filling. Tasty ingredients. Lots and lots of stuff. Over packed. Two-hand taco. Y'all know the deal. Tacos here are very standard. Tasty. Hot. Good. Lots of choices and ingredients. You won't go wrong. CC friendly. Plenty of parking. Very nice service. Overall, I would come back. I did. Came for lunch with the wife. Ordered something from the lunch menu. Again very standard. Rice, beans, etc. Sometimes you just want a hot meal that is filling and Macho Taco does a good job. read more

Macho Taco - Phone n address - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have always enjoyed the food here, though it isn't the best in the area, because the staff are incredibly friendly. I have probably dined her 20 or so times in the last few years. Today, I went in to pick up an order I called in and had a cup of coffee from home in a to go cup that I was finishing up. The owner told me that I can't pick up my food if I have outside beverages. I tried to explain to her I was just grabbing my order and she was firm that I needed to leave. First time being asked to leave a restaurant! I hadn't paid for my order yet so not an issue of being out money but I won't be returning again and wanted to let anyone else know - leave your coffee home even if you might just be picking up your food. read more

Tasty food but, with a little effort, this could be a better restaurant. 1. Cold ceramic plates insure that the beans are cold before the plate hits the table. Eggs are pretty cool not long after that. 2. The six-foot table RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CASH REGISTER has to go. I've never seen an arrangement like that at any other restaurant -- ever. read more

If you're in South Austin this place is definitely worth a try. Prices seemed to have increased a bit but the food is still plentiful and filling. If you want to avoid the long lines at peak times, try to call in an order. Old school type tex-mex restaurant. Small, cozy with no frills. read more

As a native of San Antonio this place was just okay. The tacos were a good size but the tortillas did not taste homemade.

This is one of those all in the wall sleepers that people miss this place is amazing. I've eaten during the day and had regular tacos here and I've eaten here for breakfast a few times which is for me more delicious enchiladas with some over easy eggs, rice, and beans. They have a great menu. They do a country breakfast and every kind of usual Mexican food that you would want super good super flavorful and great customer service. read more

Staff was SUPER sweet! I loved all the signs around - it made the vibe home-y. I thought it would taste a bit more authentic, but I think it was just regular schmegular americanized mexican food. Or- it could be what I ordered! (crispy tacos with ground meat - I didn't get any other meat options besides chicken and by crispy I thought they meant on the grill with cheese & oil - you may know what I'm talking about.) Good experience overall and maybe would order something else next time. :)) Also, their beans were super good!! read more

Love this place. Been going here for countless years. The staff is extra friendly and they have a solid clientele and the food is really good. read more

The first bite of the Migas Taco had a delightful burst of fresh cilantro -- very excited about that. Ultimately though, the eggs needed to be more thoroughly salted. The cheese helped a bit with this but it wasn't dispersed evenly enough for full-coverage. The Roasted Jalapeño Salsa and the Guacamole helped as well but those were also lacking some kick. There's salt at the table but, come on ... don't make me do that. The staff was exceedingly friendly and the service was fast. The portions were large (which seems to be a sentiment in many of the reviews posted here on Yelp) but that doesn't warrant any additional points with me unless the large portions also happen to be *delicious*!

Love the food and service. I'm proud to say we are regular visitors of Macho Tacos ! You won't regret the visit .

Oh man, what can I say about this place?! The enchilada sauce is so good. I just love this place. Everything I have had here is amazing! I get the enchiladas and eggs for breakfast, usually. My bf and I frequent this place regularly. They have home-made hot sauces that my bf loves. I like things mild but he likes his as spicy as it can get. This place does not disappoint. Also, they have trash magazines for women AND men. I think this place is just perfect!! read more

Wife ordered the Al pastor Gordita and said the meat tasted old she has been in the restaurant business for over 15 years in Austin, called them to let them know and they said "we sold the Al pastor to Other customers and asked them if it tasted good and they all said it did" horrible customer service and have the same problem as the other people with the 1* reviews, $70 spent at this restaurant and was told to pretty much go f*** off that it was cooked fine. WILL NEVER BE BACK OR RECOMMEND THIS PLACE STEER WAYYYYY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE read more

This place is great. They have excellent breakfast plates and tacos that are an amazing value. We normally order the breakfast taco with egg, sausage and potatoes- super bomb. I recently tried the Americano breakfast plate and it was insanely good. The pancake is HUGE! the staff are super friendly and remember everyone. It's always a good day when we visit there. read more

Machos is a great hole in the wall place. Very, very clean, friendly service and great food. The breakfast tacos are larger than most places and the side order of potato's are seasoned well and tasty. My favorite lunch order is the carne guisada and the charro beans are unique and very tasty as well. You can't go wrong here. read more

Very good, very filling breakfast tacos! We stopped here on a whim after deciding we were not brave enough to endure the line at Valentina's with a toddler and a hangry 4 year old. I'm glad we did. We tried all the classics: bean and cheese, potato egg and cheese, bacon egg and cheese, chorizo and egg, and sausage egg and cheese (all on flour bc we are basic betches set in our ways). Everything was great, and the tacos are huge! Filled to the brim with all the goodness, these are definitely tacos you'll want to eat with a fork to get the spillover filling. The salsas are awesome! If you're a spicy boi or girl, you may need to find a way to add more heat, but the flavor is very good on both the red and green. The green reminds me of a very mild doña sauce from Tacodeli, the red is fresh, sour and peppery. I eat my tacos smothered in both red and green, bc life's too short to only use one flavor of salsa! If you're a salsa person, use your words and ask for extra salsa when you order. The tortillas tasted like they were homemade. I can't confirm if that's the case, but no complaints here! Solid breakfast tacos. We ordered to-go this time, so I would love to come back to dine-in and order one of the breakfast plates! read more

No outside drink policy put me off. I came in with a coffee from somewhere else and they wouldn't serve me because of that. I'd never been before, so wasn't aware of the policy. Look, you can run your business however you want, but just because I have a coffee, doesn't mean I wouldn't order a drink at your establishment. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to be confrontational and because I was so put off. I just went to Taco Aranda across the street instead. I think the policy is stupid. I bought a coffee across the street. Just want to make you aware because your policy is probably hurting your business. read more

Order everything! Just kidding, the portions are so huge you will never eat it all!! What a hidden gem in south Austin! Just off Manchaca in south Austin, Macho Taco is a cute little family owned taco shop that serves up an incredible breakfast and lunch menu with the friendliest service. Order at the counter, head to the salsa bar and pick your poison and have a seat. Hot food comes out pretty quickly and with a huge smile ! Menu prices are totally affordable and the portions are way more than you pay for! Salsa is fresh and delicious and there is usually a line on any giving morning... totally worth the wait! Great family owned feel and the food is incredible and authentic. I ordered 2 breakfast tacos , chorizo and egg and bacon and egg but only made it through the first one! Did I mention how huge the portions are?!! Seriously ! Loved this place and will go back next time I'm in town! read more

Their breakfast tacos are large and delicious. I am glad I found this place. I will forever be a custom

I have been here twice nice now, was great both times! Their pancakes are crazy good and HUGE! I love their aguas frescas and the lady working front register is always so nice and patient. Only reason for no five star is I wish their queso was a bit thicker, it was a little thin for my liking. Highly recommend the migas plate! read more

Best tacos in South Austin... maybe all of Austin. They're low-key, dependable, and super flavorful. The tortillas are great, the proportions of ingredients used are on-point, and the options seem endless. Oh, and they have horchata! It's these little things (and attention to detail) that make this place so awesome. read more

Grwat food amd great service. Good food at a good price. Very friendly. I recommend

Great counter-serve Mexican restaurant open for breakfast and lunch. I can't say much about this place because there's only one dish that I get (bacon, egg, and cheese tacos), but the tacos here are fairly priced and big! Definitely a nice somewhat hidden treat for breakfast taco purveyors in South Austin. read more

Wowowow!! Amazing tacos!! I'm from San Antonio and it's been hard to find tacos that measure up in austin, but this is the place! Amazingly fast service and the portions are HUGE. My boyfriend and I got 3 tacos each but couldn't finish bc they were so filled, literally spilling out of the tortilla. The corn tortilla is amazing and homemade. Definitely will be returning!

Macho Taco - Bacon and egg taco w mushrooms - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

My best friend took me here the morning after after a long New Year's party, and wow! It was funny because I got to practice my Spanish with bilingual, hilarious women as I placed my order. I ordered a migas taco and two chorizo and potato tacos with salsa verde. I had no idea that these tacos would be so big but somehow I was able to eat them all lol. To be frank, I think this was the best taco experience I have had an a long time! I would seriously drive 25 minutes South to visit again. The tacos are incredible and they have great staff. read more

The food and service here are amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, I got the chilaquiles with verde sauce. The orange salsa is so good as well if you like spicy hot sauce. read more

Love it for what it is, a great breakfast taco place. Younger me would've loved the two pounds of meat on one taco but I'm getting old and fat so... The carne guisada taco is great but they should give you a couple more tortillas with it if they're going to pack it with that much meat...that is great! read more

Went by this morning and there is a sign on the door saying "we are closed" Sorry The power was on in adjoining areas not sure what's going on read more

I visit this restaurant regularly. I'm a creature of habit, so I generally get the same things. The breakfast tacos are delicious. They can be a bit greasy. If that is a problem for you, you may want to get something other then chorizo or bacon in your taco. For myself, I think it is a sign of a good taco. I recommend the green sauce. Their queso is good. I also like their beans and rice, although It can be a bit hard ordering beans and rice a la carte. The charro beans are served with too much liquid so you don't get enough beans in the to go order. They taste good though! :) read more
