Joelle C.

I was in town visiting family and they took me to eat here. I had the Birria tacos and they were BOMB! My favorite is always the consome, and for me, it can make or break the experience but this absolutely delivered and was delicious! The service was good. The young woman at the counter was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was very well lit, clean and inviting.

The barbacoa taco on corn tortilla is PHENOMENAL. Juicy flavorful meat and SO tender, it almost melts in your mouth. It's kinda oily and fatty...sometimes too fatty...but the flavor is insane. My favorite taco from here, hands down. The Al pastor taco has good flavor, too. It's marinated well and it has chunks of pineapple (very important)...BUT...it can be too dry at times. They should pull back on whatever it is making the pork dry and tough half of the visits. Keep it tender. And the pineapple should be cooked with the meat, not just laid on top as an afterthought. But from what I've tasted in Austin thus far, this al pastor taco is still better than many in this town. I love this place. I just wish they had radishes. 4 stars.

This place is an absolute gem! I can't believe I just found it! Taco was amazing and had the best thick corn tortilla, ambiance was great, and everyone was SO friendly! Will definitely be taking my whole family here when they visit!

Chips/salsa margarita

When you first arrive here you'll notice the front door is pretty beat up, the plain concrete restaurant floor is pretty grungy and everything looks a little run down. It was also obvious the place has no AC or ceiling fans. A lot of Yelpers point out the inconsistency of the quality of the food served here. They do some things well here, but there were some things that could've been better. They make a really great salsa, but the chips are on the level with tostitos. I enjoyed my sirloin quesadilla, but I was surprised how small it was. The Al pastor meat was fairly dry, but edible, especially when accompanied with their salsa (I noticed that they did not cut it off fresh from the spit). We partnered our quick meal up with a bottle of Modelo and a $7 cup of frozen margarita. The Margarita was surprisingly decent, but they don't offer much in the way of beer. Overall, things were just good, but I don't think they have the formula working perfectly for them here and no drive up window. Nonetheless, I'd be willing to check them out again. 10 informative photos for added details. 31/2*

Came across this spot randomly while on this side of town...was starving and craving breakfast tacos! Very cute decor on the walls and I loved the open kitchen aspect so you can watch the chef make your food. I ordered 2 I bacon tacos, one pollo asada (chicken) taco, and nachos with chicken added. If you're really hungry then two regular tacos is perfect. My friend ate the chicken taco and tried a piece of the chicken; seasoned well. She also ordered the nachos and jumped into them before I could take a picture; what I did like was since we ordered to go they come deconstructed...queso, guacamole, and sour cream on the side and chicken on top of the chips so by the time you get home the chips aren't soggy. There is seating inside and a few tables outside. This place is a definite must go to in Austin! If you try the margarita PLEASE let me know what you think of Austin's Tequila 512 brand!

I was very disappointed by this restaurant! My friend raves about it and brought me here.  There was loud music playing, which interfered with our conversation. When ordering I asked about the drink by the lemonade labeled "jamaica", and was told it was "jamaica." Not useful. I ordered it though. Our meals came to us, but no jamaica. We checked the ticket, it wasn't added. *heavy sigh* Now to the taco disappointment.  My pollo asado had the driest chicken I've ever been served. The cheese on top was melted on top, stringy on the bottom, and hard. This taco was disgusting.  Was it made with leftover meat? Did it sit under a heat lamp? It doesn't matter. I'm not going back.

Was excited to try this place as it was featured on drivers, dine in and dives! Got Norte taco, cauliflower taco, and horchata. Loved the Norte taco, especially the chorizo and the cheese in it. The cauliflower taco was okay. Horchata was good as well! The portions were pretty good too.

Open Kitchen
Alex V.

The open kitchen design is nice to see food being prepared while you're in line to make an order, and the dining room is brightly colored and cheery with not too many tables, but enough to handle most of the customers and a few tables outside under an awning as well. I ordered the Gowalla taco which tasted nice, but since it's diced steak it's not as tender as I'd like and unfortunately had a lot of fat/gristle. The bacon is diced too and was a mix of too hard since it's the thick kind, or too gummy, probably because it wasn't cooked evenly on a flattop. Of course the avocado was nice and fresh and you can't go wrong there. While I enjoyed the taste I would definitely choose chicken next time instead.

Menu is short and sweet

I had El Clásico, a potato, egg and cheese taco. Great flour tortilla, but I prefer cheese that's more melted into the eggs. Kind of messy around the self serve area. Delicious salsa.

Exterior of OneTaco

Dinner at OneTaco was very good. OneTaco sits somewhere between fast food and a reseraunt (closer to upscale fast food). The menu is primarily soft tacos and quesadillas. The tortillas surprisingly taste almost homemade. The grilled meat and veggies were fresh and seasoned perfectly. There were three different sauces/salsa you can add to taste. We also had the large chips and queso. The queso was super thick which let us load it up the chips (a good thing). Don't expect fine dining but you'll likely get some delicious tacos.

Last time I ate here it was just okay. Meat didn't taste fresh though and chips would be better if made in house. They come in a personal size pre-packaged bag. Taco concepts are good, just need to be executed better.

This place is a staple in Austin. It's really cute and it's pretty authentic to me. The staff there…read moreis so nice and very attentive. They have a cute indoor seating area along with a rooftop patio, which is really cute especially when the weather gets great. I got a corn poblano soup and I have to say that was delicious. I got the small cup and next time I go back I will definitely get the whole bowl cause that was amazing. I did go during brunch hours so I got two tacos. One of them was the Migos taco, which was delicious. I love that the tortilla chips and they were nice and crunchy still and not soggy. I also got a taco called the Cherrywood, which had bacon cheese, egg, potato, and avocado, and it was delicious. I love that their tortillas are homemade and they're not the cheap American puffy ones. They also give you complementary chips and salsa and both salsa were delicious. I literally combine both of them in my tacos. They do have some great drinks. One of them is the Highlander margarita which is really nice and smooth and they use patron silver. They also had another margarita that I saw a lot of people ordering and it was an avocado one, and everybody kept raving about it. They definitely have a good mix of cocktails and then anything in general that you would want.

We stopped by at 11:45 am and surprisingly there were plenty of parking spots around the restaurant. We had a great waiter who was attentive and patient with us. We ordered a mimosa carafe for the group. Unfortunately, I think they need a better way of serving these mimosas because the sparkling wine in the carafe gets immediately warm due to not being placed on ice. We were drinking lukewarm mimosas. Please rethink this El Alma, you need buckets to keep the wine and juice cold! Anyways, we received complimentary chips and salsa while we waited for our food. I ordered the breakfast enchiladas which were delicious. They had egg in them, and honestly never thought this existed but happy I found it! Wish the side of beans it came with was bigger. The rest of our group enjoyed their foods as well. There's rooftop seating which was lovely BUT there's a huge oak tree above that continuously drops leaves and debris constantly. Our drinks had floating bits and it just kept falling. I recommend some umbrellas. Our waiter was kind enough to let us move when a table opened up under the canopy. Great food, super cool restaurant but some operational issues that keep it to a 4 and not a 5.

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. It was so fresh and kicking' with all kinds of flavors. I wish I had ordered another one. The avocado sauce layered on the bottom was just enough to keep wanting more. 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.

We made a reservation for inside, and upon arrival, the staff mentioned that'd we'd have to wait quite some time for our table. Instead, they suggested an outside table wouldn't be too bad. We were happy to accommodate, but then the service was noticeably slow (both for drinks and for food). Price points were high (but, I suppose not unexpected for a hotel restaurant). The spot we were in just felt like limbo between guests enjoying the pool and people inside enjoying A/C and good music. May give it another shot down the road.

ATX Cocina is a whole vibe! It's modern, minimalistic in design and sleek in styling. Also, they have dining on the patio, where you have a nice view of Lady Bird Lake. Bad Bunny was playing the background, which created a lovely ambiance. We ordered drinks, an appetizer, entrees and a side. We first ordered the guacamole and tortilla chips. The tortilla chips tasted homemade and guac was quite tasty with jalapeno slices as a garnish. My friend ordered the Sandia cocktail comprised of Lalo, Ancho Reyes, watermelon, lime, and chamoy. I ordered the Frida Kahlo including Don Fulano Blanco, Jalisco 1562, guava, blood orange, lime, black lava Ssalt. Note to self: Don't touch the black lava salt because it rubs off on your hands. She ordered the filete de lomo black angus tenderloin for her entree with blistered shishitos, pipian verde, cebollas, and salsa seca. I ordered the crab relleno which was stuffed with smoked honey cornbread anaheim, jumbo lump blue crab, charred tomatillo sugo, and tamarind. The brussels sprouts side was quite different with crumbled cheese and sliced peppers...I suppose that's where the modern part kicked in. In addition, Armando, our server, was attentive and frequently came to our table to check on us. He also gave an overview of the menu before we made our selections.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
