After a few drinks at Cockfight Bar around the corner, we stopped by for a late-night bite before calling it a night--and I'm so glad we did. These are honestly some of the best tacos I've had in Austin! The pastor was cooked perfectly: flavorful, slightly crispy around the edges, and packed with plenty of meat, all wrapped in a delicious handmade tortilla. Every bite was so good that I immediately wanted more. I also ordered a quesadilla, which was perfectly cheesy and just the right size to satisfy without feeling too heavy. Honestly, if I had more room, I would have ordered enough tacos to last me the whole next day! I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Austin. This spot is a must-try for anyone craving amazing tacos. read more

OneTaco - Taco Al Pastor, cheese quesadilla - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

The branding in here is almost enough to make it worth the trip. I loved the mask stenciled into the double doors, the playful color palette, and the Coke bottle cap stools they're hiding by one of the counters. I dropped in at 7:30a on a Friday, and watched a steady stream of people come in for takeout. All our food came quickly. Apparent regulars got a friendly recognition by the front of house when they got to the front of the line. I had a Migas and a Taco Jefe. The fill ratio was correct: I was able to hold it closed without really squeezing, and better, nothing was soggy to weaken the very lightly warmed tortilla. But I wanted a higher salt level in the eggs and steak, and some crisp on both proteins would've improved texture balance. It's pretty solid. I think my mom would give it a 5. But for me, it's a solid 4. read more

The tacos are delicious here. Idk why they named it OneTaco, because I could have had a few more, if I wasn't on an actual food tour! Our walking food tour took us here as one of the many stops. We had the, "Gringa", which hilariously was named after a couple white girls who asked for flour tortillas for their tacos. At least that was the story I was told. They had a self serve sauce/salsa bar marked with different spice levels but honestly nothing was actually too spicy lol. Then again I'm one that can handle actual spicy Asian food iykyk read more

Hit the itch for breakfast tacos but weren't the most flavorful. Star of the show is the avocado and Serrano pepper salsa! I will return to try the lunch tacos. Service was great! And price was right! read more

3.5 stars rounded up. Staff is amazing & welcoming & the prices were right for street tacos however the flavors were lacking for me a bit with the chicken and asado tacos. You shouldn't have to dress them in lime and salsa for good flavors. Good bit of indoor seating and seems like a popping spot for lunch! read more

I did a to go online order for breakfast tacos on a Saturday morning. They had my order ready to go when I arrived, and the staff was friendly. The tacos were pretty small for the price, but they tasted great. We got the el Classico and the I love bacon tacos, but we ate them so fast I didn't get to take any pictures. A nice little taco spot in Austin! read more

It took me two years of being in Austin to find an amazing carne asada taco. The best taco here by far!!

Staff and service was great. Ordered 3 breakfast tacos--el Clásico , taco jefe, and buenos días. Clásico was basic and kind of bland, but the other two were fantastic! They also had a tasty salsa verde. read more

30 minute wait to get some tacos. Short staffed. Dude in the back cleaning grill and continuing to cook various meats with same spatula...hits garbage can, goes back to cooking. Not good. No standards when cooking on the grill. read more

Walked here after getting a local recommendation. My taco was fabulous, I made it a combo and added queso and was very happy. And every day is a good day with horchata! Easy street access, limited indoor seating, fast, fresh and hot food. Will go again if in the area! read more

Somewhere in the chaos of downtown Austin you can find OneTaco - Frost Tower. One of many locations, this spot is conveniently located on the ground floor right next to a parking garage. The atmosphere was decent, a taco joint with self serve salsa and a few seats towards the back. Service was friendly and the food came out quick too. We tried a few tacos and cheese quesadillas so we had a diverse spread. As far as tacos go, it's hard to make bad tacos and these were about as middle of the road as they come. We were very excited for the birria taco and it fell very flat, the corn tortillas don't taste too fresh and the consome was pretty bland. The al pastor taco was okay, not a huge fan of pineapple on it but we can't dock points for something we could easily choose to remove. The best taco by far was the carne asada, it was juicy and full of flavor, all around delicious. They offer two vegetarian taco options which was helpful since on of our friends is vegetarian and they really liked them curing their flavorfulness. Our cheese quesadillas were okay, again hard to mess up cheese and bread. The flour tortillas definitely taste better than the corn here, which is something we don't come across often. The final verdict is that OneTaco is a middle of the road taco joint that is a great option for anyone finishing off a night on 6th to head on over to. read more

Came here as I needed something quick and cheap which was walkable from my hotel. Ordered the carne asada, al pastor, and birria. It was solid, really good portion size. Obviously can't compare to L.A. street tacos because that's what I'm used to, but it got the job done. Staff was really friendly here. They had a smile on their face at all times. Even gave me some extra consome when I accidentally spilled some. Good meal, but nothing that makes me need to absolutely come back. read more

The lack of flavor in the al pastor is what makes it just a 3. Fast friendly service but the meat feels a little over-cooked/crisped. Got the Carne asada, barbacoa and al pastor. Barbacoa was prob the best, very flavorful and juicy. Carne aside was good but drowned in sauce. And the al pastor had zero noticeable pineapple or citrus flavor - which should be the hallmark. Was just sort of red, over cooked pork. Not bad if you're in a rush and want to throw down some tacos but I felt slightly disappointed based on other reviews. read more

Al pastor is solid and carne asada is juicy. Chicken can be dry and portions are small. Decent for a quick taco fix.

Small taco joint. Not a lot of seating. Good street tacos. Very flavorful. Staff was welcoming/friendly. Tacos were ready pretty quickly. I'd go back for a quick inexpensive meal. We spent just under $35 for 6 tacos and two sodas. read more

OneTaco - Street Tacos Barbacoa and Steak taco (Carne Asada) - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had the pleasure of learning about this place catering style in a parking lot at a Howler Brothers FC Party. The Barbacoa is BOMB. I think I had like 3 of them. Ok ok maybe 4.... I even wanted to ask them when the party was wrapping up if they had extra barbacoa that needed a home to go to. But...I didn't. Still kicking myself for not even trying lol. Juicy but not greasy. Corn tortilla was sturdy but not too thick. Veggie topping options were fresh. The flavor on point - I didn't even need to add their house sauce. And to speak for the catering - the setup was a great idea. They had heated servers of each of the meats and made your taco fresh to order. Each person could add their own veggies of their liking and sauce at the other end of the table. I love this concept way better than pre-made tacos. Huge plus, the guys working the stand were so friendly. Serving size did not disappoint AND they never judged me for how many times I kept going back. read more

I'm glad I stopped in. It's about a six minute walk from the Hilton hotel downtown. The lady answered. The phone was very friendly and took care of me. Food : the carne Asada taco was actually really good. It's top notch. Easy five stars for that taco. I like how they put the melted white cheese it's cool to perfection! Absolutely my favorite taco I had. Now the pastor taco wasn't that good. It was like 2 out of 5 stars. It was okay. The pineapple cuts were too big. Like I said the carne asada is the way to go! Easy five stars for that one. read more

Visited Austin and had to try One Taco for breakfast--and I'm so glad I did! The tacos were absolutely delicious. My favorite was the Barbacoa taco--tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of spice. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Great food and great service--can't ask for more. Definitely a must-visit spot for breakfast tacos in Austin! read more

This place is authentic to say the least! It has everything you could imagine from a Latino taco stand, the drinks, sides, and tacos. However, I have had many authentic tacos in Texas and around the country and it just didn't have that burst of flavor that I was expecting. Overall it is a good quick lunch spot read more

I finally got a chance to experience One Taco and I was astonished. It was all new to me and walked up to order a Pollo Asado where the menu said was Grilled Chicken, Cheese Black Beans, Avocado & Chipotle Sauce along with a Topo Chico. The taco was just delicious with that Mexican flavor to it. The chicken was cooked perfectly, tasty spices, and soft touch to my mouth. I was amazed and definitely place One Taco in my Austin top 3. Two days later I returned to enjoy the Bandera where the menu said was Grilled Chicken, Avocado Grilled Cauliflower, Crispy & Pico de Gallo. This taco was also super delicious. The staff is nice and there is some seating inside, but the place is small. I recommend walking here but if you need to park then suggest in the Frost Bank Building which is appended to this place. This place will give you feeling of a Mexican taco place from across the border. read more

Two words. Breakfast tacos. I was staying downtown in Austin and needed some breakfast tacos before heading out of town. This place served them all day so I walked 4 blocks to get there. The menu has regular lunch and dinner options as well as all day breakfast tacos. I went with the Migas, I love Bacon, Jefe, and Barbacoa. Each came with eggs and a meat along with salsa. The one without meat was the Migas which was actually vegetarian. That one came with avocado and tortillas chips. An interesting combo but super delicious. It was also a bit lighter to the stomach. I also got queso and chips which was unspectacular. The service was quick and friendly while there are plenty of places to sit and stand. I would love to be back in the future. read more

Humble location with nice people and cheap tacos. Enjoyed the Mexican music they played and that there is nothing pretentious about this place. All of that being said, would probs not come back because the tacos were just average. I appreciated that the cashier wasn't trying to upsell me on anything. He was honest about which sides were just okay and which were his favorite. He admitted the agua fresca is very sweet, even though it was obvious I would be deterred by that. I got chips and queso, a carne asada taco, a barbacoa breakfast taco, and an al pastor taco. The chips came in a bag so it's clear they're purchasing rather than making these. Which is fine, but I don't love that they were individually packaged because it's more plastic. The queso was the kind that keeps immediately developing a skin on top, and it wasn't very smooth. Flavor could be better too. The barbacoa taco was my favorite, but I am not sure why this is considered a "breakfast taco" when it doesn't have eggs on it. The barbacoa was tender, fatty, and flavorful as expected. The carne asada was tender, but the flavor of the meat felt drowned out by the sauce. Don't get me wrong, I loved the sauce. But the flavor of the meat itself was just average. Same sorts of feelings about the al pastor. The meat was tender, but the flavor needed improvement. I've also never had such big pieces of pineapple included on my tacos either. Call me picky, but I just wasn't impressed with the tacos and that's really the reason for a lower rating. I grew up in Texas and have eaten a lot of tacos. I get carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas tacos as a sort of litmus test and I wouldn't say they passed. These tacos were not great, not bad. Just alright. read more

OneTaco - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

The low star is not about food but service. I ordered 6 street tacos to go (I bought food for my older brother and I), 5 al pastor and one Birria, as you all know al pastor is pork and pineapples. Mind you my younger brother had got 3 street tacos 2 of them was al pastor the biggest difference was he ordered to eat for here. So his tacos are displayed with pineapples but mines are wrapped because I wanted mines to go. We ended up eating outside and I opened my tacos and realized none of my tacos had pineapples (they don't sell trompo which is just pork), I go inside to tell them about their mistake and the guy that makes the tortillas gave me a personal cup full of pineapples. I thought ok everything is good.... NOPE. When I went to put the pineapples on my tacos I realized that they were all frozen. Dude gave me frozen pineapples like I ordered dessert in a Hawaiian joint. I know it's SXSW week and you might not care too much about first time customers "to go" but this is ridiculous. The only reason why you have two stars is because the tacos were good. But never again I'll just go to a taco truck next time. read more

OneTaco kept popping up on my Yelp but I pushed it aside because it was a chain. Big mistake. I was surprisingly struggling to find a normal, not all boujee, breakfast taco. I decided since I kept seeing this place, fine, I'll try it. It was so good! And such a good deal! We order a variety of tacos and all were delicious. Tne queso was Tex mex style and had a kick. The homemade lemonade was a needed post meal sweet. My regret is not coming here sooner so I could come again. Next time in Austin, I'll back. For now, I'm jealous of you Texans. read more

Definitely doesn't look like anything if you walk past it in the day time but I'm sure this place gets packed during the evenings and weekends. Decided to come for breakfast and let's just say one taco isn't enough! These tacos definitely brought the flavor and I wished I could have ordered one more but I was full off the two I got. (I love Bacon & The Migas). There was no wait for me to place my order and it took about 8 mins to receive, in addition to the tacos you will receive complimentary salsa which dope. My order was only about 8 bucks which in this day and age seems unheard of. I would definitely come back and try other things. read more

Overall = 2.5 Food = 3.5 average at best tacos. Meat was not the greatest. I had Al Pastor, Birria, and Steak(Carne Asada) Service = 2.5 I am the only customer in the restaurant at 4:45 pm on a Thursday afternoon ordering 6 tacos, chips and salsa for the misses and I. They forgot one of their $5 tacos. I even pre-tipped them 18%. Unacceptable to leave a taco out of the order. It wasn't busy.

i can confidently say that OneTaco has completely changed the way I think about tacos. Austin has no shortage of great taco spots, but there's something special about this place that keeps me coming back. From the moment you step up to the counter, you can tell that these folks care deeply about the quality of their food, and it shows in every bite. First off, the flavors here are unreal. I ordered the El Pastor and La Pirata, and both were absolutely packed with flavor. The El Pastor had the perfect balance of smoky, slightly sweet marinated pork, complemented by fresh pineapple that added just the right amount of acidity. The meat was incredibly tender, with a subtle crispiness around the edges--exactly how pastor should be. The La Pirata, on the other hand, was a beautiful mix of beef fajita and gooey melted cheese, wrapped in a flour tortilla that was perfectly toasted to a slight crisp. Every bite had that rich, buttery, beefy goodness that made it impossible to put down. Beyond the food, the atmosphere at OneTaco is exactly what you want from a taco joint. It's laid-back, welcoming, and has that no-frills Austin charm that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch, grabbing a late-night bite, or just in the mood for some amazing tacos and a cold beer, this place delivers every time. The service was also worth mentioning. Even though they were busy, the staff was friendly, efficient, and clearly knew their stuff. They made great recommendations, and you could tell they actually cared about making sure you had a great experience. Another thing I loved? The salsa bar. So many places skimp on this, but not OneTaco. They had a great selection of salsas ranging from mild and tangy to full-on spicy. I tried the green tomatillo salsa, which had a fresh, zesty kick, and the smoky red salsa, which had just the right amount of heat to complement the tacos without overpowering them. Overall, this is the kind of place that reminds you why Austin's taco scene is so legendary. It's not just about great food (though they definitely have that covered)--it's about the experience, the vibe, and the way every detail comes together to make you want to come back again and again. If you're a taco lover, you owe it to yourself to check this place out. read more
