Finally had a chance to try this place with my family today and we really enjoyed our meal! We tried an insane amount of tacos, so here goes: 1. Taco Bueno - this was bomb. So good!! 2. Taco Azteca - this was also so tasty. 3. Migas Tacos - this was disappointing honestly so wouldn't order this again. 4. Al Pastor Tacos - there were delicious and flavorful 5. Pueblo Viejo Taco - so good! 6. Lamb Barbacoa - the meat itself was plentiful and very tender but the taco as a whole not as flavorful as I'd expect. 7. Taco Nes - the most disappointing of all of them even tho I was most excited about this reading the ingredients. The steak was so hard and chewy. :( Lastly, the salsas are all delicious. We did have to go up and ask for silverware & plates a couple times, along with more salsa. Not sure why they don't keep it out for people to grab themselves. Either way, can't wait to be back!
Riverside is home to multiple taquerias and restaurants that offer breakfast tacos. These are slightly above average taste and quality breakfast tacos when it comes to eating out. However, it must be inflation holding me back from rating higher...those eggs are definitely reflected in the price of $2.75 per taco. 5 breakfast tacos, 2 bottles waters and a 18% tip....came in around $28 . The attitude was also lacking and should've not left a tip. $14 for two people to dine in is a little steep. I'll stick with the taco trucks when I'm not cooking at home, and in the Austin area.
This hidden spot is a gem for great Mexican food. I will say this is the first Mexican restaurant I been to where I had to pay for chips and salsa. They open for dine in during this pandemic. They have only been around five months they said when I asked them, because I don't recall them being there before the pandemic. The food is made fresh and this is not a Tex-Mex restaurant either. They do have a mini bar and they have plenty of seating for everyone. Their lemonada was very fresh and delicious! Parking was a breeze and in the shopping center.
We came during Covid times. We were the only people on a Tuesday night at 8pm. The server / cashier was super friendly and helpful! We ordered 1 taco each and shared a guacamole side! The guacamole side comes with salsa and chips :) I asked for the creamy jalepeno salsa for my taco! IT'S A MUST HAVE!! Not too spicy and super creamy!! Giving this place a 5/5 because the place is extremely clean and the taco and guac was super tasty and flavorful! FRESH veggies and chips! Our tacos came out steaming hot! Will definitely come back!
My brother and I decided to get some lunch downtown on Easter Sunday and saw that this place was open! The interior is pretty cool with all the artwork on the ceiling. We both got the taco plates with al pastor and steak tacos. I would say it was pretty worth it for 2 tacos, chips, guac, rice, and beans for $12! My brother and I's favorites was the Al Pastor, so good and tasty. The flavor was lighter than other taco spots I've been to, but still pretty good! Also parking is super easy and plentiful with a big lot!
A very good and quick Mexican food spot. They serve all sorts of margaritas, beers, and Mexican specialty drinks. Next time I come I'm ordering the hortchata and limeade for sure. I'm from San Antonio and trying to find a good taco spot in austin can be hard. This time my husband came in and ordered the beef taco plate, enchilada plate, a side of queso, and a Mexican coke. The queso and guacamole is very good!!The manager also brought out some chips and a side of creamy jalapeño salsa, which was amazing!! Everything was really good and we would come back again. Only complaint is that it's a little pricey but definitely worth it. Laid back and casual vibe which makes this an easy spot to come to anytime.
Amazing tacos and drinks! Highly recommend!! Portions are good in size and hot sauces are on par. The lemonade margarita is out of this world. Definitely a must!!!
I was looking forward to eating here because of the reviews but I was sadly disappointed. They had a special that day where you can get 5 of their selected tacos for around $15. Based on the photo of the special, it looked like a big portion so I ordered the Al Pastor tacos. When the food came out, the tacos were as small as the pepper! The al pastor flavor was minimal and there was barely any toppings. When I eat my tacos, especially al pastor, I want it smothered in onions and cilantro (but that's just me)! Salsas were not provided or offered for the tacos. They also charge you for water which is ridiculous. Service was very lacking and the cashier was not so nice... Maybe I'll give this place another chance and try other dishes, but considering there are other cheaper and better quality tacos in Austin... it might be a hard pass.
Excellent tacos and great serving size, it's so nice to see street tacos in a decent size. I had the asada and the al pastor and to my surprise the asada was my favorite it was super tasty.
This was a very disappointing meal. The high stars gave me false hope while we were hanging out on Riverside. I'm not sure what Viejo style tacos means, but I guess it means texmex with no seasoning? There was an assortment of salsas, but none of them were good except the habanero one. The tomatillo was bloated which was a bad sign, and sure enough it tasted rotten when we tried it. There is no sign of limes in this restaurant. Neither the salsas nor tacos have lime. The tacos are that inflated hipster price of about $5 a taco, so I went with the taco plate with rice and beans. Both the rice and beans are very bland and could benefit from some salt. I chose the barbacoa tacos and while it was happily made with goat, it also had no flavor. The strange part about the tacos was mine came with cilantro and onion, but my friend's came with lettuce and tomato?? Service was friendly, but very very slow for only having 2 other tables. I also had to go back and ask for my horchata after my food had already arrived. I would not recommend this place unless you're just looking for some drinks in the area.
From Food Truck to Resturant! Pueblo Viejo did it again. This location opened up perfectly. The food still tastes great. It was nice to enjoy these tacos indoors. The decor is exactly what I would imagine a Pueblo Viejo dedicated Resturant would look like. Overall, excellent. Still my favorite tacos in Austin. Nice job. Recommendations: - Don Chago - Chips and Salsa - Guac - Taco Nes - Quesadilla Taco

The Steak, Chicken, and Al Pastor Tacos were soooo good. They gave us a sample of the Trompo style tacos while we were waiting and just as good! Can't wait to come back to try the ceviche and fish tacos next! read more

The tacos are FUEGOOOO!!! The sides are meh (specifically the retried beans and rice) - I wouldn't bother getting them unless you just want to go for a plate meal. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and got the taco bueno, migas taco, rice, refried beans, and sandia agua frescas! The aguas fresca was super good and refreshing, so I would recommend it! The food came out hot, fresh, and quickly - and delicious!! My friend like their chicken and steak tacos. I love breakfast so I stuck to breakfast tacos which there were still serving on Sunday around 12:30pm. Atmosphere - very quaint with authentic Mexican decorations on the walls and ceilings. It was pretty quiet when we got there but it got a little busier after. You order at the counter then sit wherever and get a number so your food is brought to you. read more

Legit loaded tacos! Homemade corn tortillas, fresh ingredients, and deep rich flavors I'll definitely return for. Got the al pastor, steak and taco nes (steak and chorizo). All were tasty. The taco nes was the winner and packed with flavors that work well together. Somehow this place eluded me and I'm glad to have another top taco spot to visit! read more

Absolutely the *BEST* tacos in town. For about 9 years, Pueblo Viejo has held strong as one of my favorite places to eat in Austin and I've followed them wherever they go. I could not be more excited that they opened a Brick and Mortar on Riverside. The owners are kind, extremely hard working have a very high standard for the food they serve. All of their locations are spot on and Riverside does not disappoint. Mother's Day brunch at the new spot exceeded my high expectations. The breakfast tacos were absolutely perfect and as usual, the service was great. I can't wait to go back! read more

These tacos were stupid good. Quesadilla Taco with Pastor meat was incredibly flavorful and delicious. These are authentic, though I opted for flour tortillas. I went off hours and they were kind, food was quick and hot, Diet Coke was cold. It was incredible. read more

Super cute interior, lots of parking, and great outdoor seating. Everything is fresh and homemade, and the portions are big. LOVE the salsas. I got tacos al pastor, and they were super juicy and flavorful. My sister got a steak taco plate and even though the al pastor was some of the best I've had (and yes, I love Rosita's AND taco more), the steak might be even better I will definitely be back for margaritas and to try more tacos!!! Can't wait to report back on the breakfast tacos read more

I know what love is...and it's Pueblo Viejo's tacos. Luckily for me, many of the Austin-based taco chains opened up locations in Dallas...unluckily for me, Pueblo Viejo wasn't one of them. These tacos are f***ing fuego aye aye aye. It was pretty hard for me to choose from all their different tacos so I figured I would get the two that had their namesake in them: Taco Viejo & Pueblo Viejo Style specialty taco. One breakfast taco and one lunch taco essentially. The Taco Viejo was amazing! I loved everything about it - a massive amount of chorizo, potato and eggs scrambled together on top of a slab of beans. It was almost difficult to close up the taco to eat it because Pueblo Viejo does not skimp! Same with the Pueblo Viejo Style taco - soooo much goodness I was struggling to hold it all together. The steak in the Pueblo Viejo Style taco was cooked perfectly. Y'all...I'm originally from Dallas but I've been living in New England the past 2 years and we don't have any good, authentic tacos up there. When I hopped off the plane and the first thing I bit into were these tacos I almost teared up. read more

This place is for " Hipsters " food is good ,BUT HAS NO TASTE OR SEASONING... it bland , hipsters love tasteless food SMDH read more
I was so excited to see a brick and mortar of Pueblo Viejo on Riverside. I was kinda disappointed with the food though. I feel like its better from the truck. Something was missing from the tacos they just didn't have that umph they normally have. I know they are new so maybe they just need to work out some kinks? I'll give them some time and come back for a 2nd try. read more

Just delicious, tacos and gorditas. The Taco Nes is really good, a lot of grilled onions. Quesadilla taco de pastor just like a gringa is delicious. Ordered the Gordita plate, two gorditas, beans and guacamole, perfect combination. If you love tacos, this is your place. read more
New Mexican restaurant offering the Riverside area something new and delicious. I had 2 tacos lamb barbacoa and their Pueblo taco. It came with rice and beans. I also had a horchata and some chips and salsa. The tacos were STUFFED and delicious, the lamb barbacoa was lamby in every way. The Pueblo taco was steak, cheese, onions, peppers and mushrooms covered in avocado slices and a sprinkle of lettuce and tomato. Both tacos were wrapped in their homemade corn and flour tortillas. They have a 8 different hot sauces from mild to HOT to make sure everyone can get the right amount of heat on your tacos. After you're done burning your face off. You get to cool off your tongue with some of the best horchata I've had. Honestly this was a great first time for me and will definitely be back. read more
