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

It was the first day of TASSP conference and it was lunch time in Austin, Texas. Having attended this conference for years, you learn about the places around the convention center and One Taco is a must attend. I walked from the convention center yet if your driving, parking is an issue. As you enter, you place your order and the tacos are sold individually. The restaurant has a Mexican Luchador theme so my inner child who attended Mexican wrestling likes this place. It was Tuesday so TACO TUESDAY brought me a discount so I felt my Rick Flair come out woooooooo! Sitting is limited and you wait for your number to be called. The trompo or seasoned meat tacos were good and big. The Gowalla is a good blend of meats and recommended yet a bit expensive for one taco. If you are in downtown Austin, and feel like getting your luchador on, this is the place for you. read more

Was looking for a taco place during a conference and so glad I found them! Queso was white cheese instead of yellow I like that the chips came in a personal bag. The chicken tacos were good enough to satisfy my wanted taco craving Lemonade was good. They also had a sign near the cashier that would speak to gluten free requests. Not a lot of space inside and only two tables outside read more

Very friendly staff as soon as we walked in the door! It's a cute little place, not too big, very quick service. Tacos were great! Very fresh! read more

My family and I love OneTaco! First, the place is very clean; you can see behind the counter to the cooking area and it is consistently spotless back there. Second, the tacos are so good. For lunch we love the Gowalla and the Carne Asada. For breakfast the I Love Bacon and the Norte. The people here are also very friendly! read more

this place takes me back to those fire late night taco stalls on the side of the street in socal!!! I ordered them for delivery but def need to visit in person soon. we got the pastor, carne asada, campechana, and gowalla. the pastor was my favorite! super flavorful and the pineapple balanced everything out. my least favorite was probably the gowalla (bistec, bacon, queso fresco, avocado). it was a bit dry and the bacon was overpowering. still crushed it though! they do NOT skimp on meat y'all, the tacos were huge. their salsas were also fire (although I wish they gave more) read more

Man, best chips and guacamole I ever had, and oh the best tacos I ever had I'm from Chicago I thought we had the best Mexican food.

Visiting from out of town and grabbed some breakfast tacos before standing in line at Franklin Barbecue. I got the Buenos Dias - scrambled eggs, chorizo, refried black beans and cheese. Migas - scrambled eggs, tortilla chips, avocado, cheese and pico de gallo. Also got a horchata to wash things down. Nice cheap tacos that were filling and I like the salas available. Service was friendly it is bright and fun inside. read more

OneTaco - Taco Al Pastor, Chips And Queso Personal 4 Oz, Chicken Taco (Pollo Asado) - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Service is really quick and you can be in and out in 20 minutes for a lunch break if you work downtown. The staff is very friendly as well. The food here is amazing and tastes authentic and fresh, the lemonade tastes exactly how lemonade should be which is 100% fresh lemonade. And a lunch for two people is less than 20$, so in all fairness in price and quality this is one of the better places to grab a quick meal or a big meal and not leave a hole in your wallet. read more

Wife had the Migas and El Classico. Both were delicious and she would order them again. I had the El Jefe and Barbacoa. The Boss had an over-medium fried egg with runny yolk--delicious! The Barbacoa was well-seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. We don't make it down to Austin, but when we do, we try to check out the Tex Mex scene. You can't go wrong. read more

FINALLY, a chicken street taco in ATX! I have been back for almost 5 years and I can't believe it took me this long to find a decent place for a taco! I have no idea why it has been difficult to find chicken street tacos in Austin, but it has been a journey as most places only have pork street tacos. I am thrilled to have discovered One Taco. I tried two pollo asado and a liflower taco, a side of the chips and queso and not one, but two grilled peppers. Everything was on point and clearly, I am glutton for punishment as the peppers kicked my butt and although I was sweating from every crevice, I still ate them....well, at least 1 & 1/2. The only thing that would make me happier is to find a truck, stand, whatever, that has chicken street tacos but with braised shredded chicken. If you are reading this and you have recommendations, please message me! In the meantime, One Taco will be my One and only spot for street tacos. read more

The tacos are delicious here. Was walking past with a group and we decided to stop in. A good idea! The inside is not very big but has seating for small groups. The staff was also friendly. Another taco pace to consider if you are in downtown Austin. read more

One taco was recommended to me by a staff member at the JW Marriott. I was glad that I went. After a very long day of travel I just wanted something easy and simple. The One Taco was very clean, the employees were super nice and the food was great and not too expensive. I had the steak street tacos, the meat was so tender and full of flavor. Thank you OneTaco for providing such a great experience. read more

This place is dope AF. I don't even know what I ordered; it was just a miscellaneous handful of tacos. Damn were they delicious. I'm still dreaming about them a month later. Stop by here. This is the real deal, closest to street tacos in a safe environment you'll find. read more

This was recommended by a Lyft driver and was just okay. I got the Al Pastor taco, horchata, and chips with salsa. My friend and I stopped in about 30 minutes before closing which may explain why the pastor was dried out. It was sad to look at and eat. However, the pineapple was fresh and not canned. Horchata tasted like a liquified churro to me and I enjoyed it. My friend found it too sweet for her taste. The chips came in a transparent plastic bag with a Best Buy date stamped on it. The salsa was flavorful and on the spicy side. read more

Delicious breakfast tacos! I would come back here again. The tacos were good and ther service was quick.

I've never gotten a street taco so fast after placing an order. Yes it's a building but the quality is on par with those street vendors we've come to love so much. Prices are dirt cheap and the meat was so juicy when it came out. We got it to go but after smelling it we just ate it right there. Ate too fast, forgot to take pictures of the food read more

OneTaco - Carne Asada - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Had the chicken taco with pico de gallo and avocado. It was delicious -- my favorite part was probably the tortilla. Seems fresh, homemade, and just delicious. I also had the Mexican corn, and as much as I love elote, it was a departure from what I am used to. I like it with lots of cheese, mayo, some spice, and butter. Their version had too much lime and not enough cheese and creaminess. Service was quick and easy, and we were probably in and out of there in 30 minutes. Really tasty and fulfilling. Interested in coming back for their breakfast options. read more

Alas, another taco joint in Austin, but ladies and gents, hear me when I say this one does not disappoint. It's walking distance from work, and I need to stop myself from visiting here every morning, otherwise I'll need a doctor and a personal trainer. I'm a self proclaimed breakfast taco (breakfast burrito to all you non-Texans) snob so when this place was recommended to me, I immediately had my doubts. My first question to every breakfast taco recommendation is, "do they mix the bacon with the eggs, or do they just add a slice over scrambled eggs?" Then I was hit with a response I've never heard in my 40yrs of breakfast taco tenure. "Both!" Wait.....what?! This can't be! I must witness this black magic at once. I had the "I Heart Bacon", and friends, they do in fact mix the bacon and add a slice of bacon for good measure. Take my money, OneTaco. Test my willpower, OneTaco. I heart you. Cheers. read more

I have to say..... the Carne Asada tacos was excellent!! The sauce so fresh!! Was down the street from the hotel I was staying at!! Definitely will Recommend One Taco!!! So yummy!! read more

Place is alright. Seems to more of a lunch place or a LATE NIGHT Dive. It is good. But there's better. It's a downtown place, no ambiance really. So it just all depends what you're looking for. read more

Came here because the famous guy said it was good and unique. The interior is very nice and simple and clean but the food just wasn't over the top like I expected. Price was high for something that just didn't taste over the top meat was a little dry. But all the taco competition in Austin this is definitely at the bottom. read more

Visiting Austin for the first time, hotel was near One Taco and this is our 3rd time coming here for lunch. Friendliest staff every time and remembered us plus our order. The staff would engage conversation to the point where they even gave us a discount because this was our first time in Austin. Cannot beat the price of food and drinks, also one of the best quality tacos in Austin. So many other places receive hype but this place is it, you simply cannot beat it. Casual, friendly, and consistently delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

One taco is a bright and vibrant spot to grab some delicious tacos. I stopped in for breakfast tacos and was thoroughly pleased with what was served up. It's a walk up and order style restaurant with tables and high-top counter seating. The staff were super friendly and the food came out quickly. I went with the Buenos Días and the Migas. Both were delicious! They also serve coffee and desserts but I passed on this occasion. These breakfast tacos are a fantastic way to start the day. Enjoy! read more
