Consomé: Had to go back and buy it because my birria taco didn't come with any and they didn't ask if I wanted any the first time.
Kelly N.

I was looking for something in the area and got intrigued by the buche tacos because I've never seen them anywhere. All the tacos I got lacked flavor and were extremely underwhelming. It felt like a waste of a meal. I thought I was losing my sense of taste or something when I tried all of the tacos, because I could barely taste anything. It wasn't me though, it was the tacos. The horchata was bursting with flavor. One of the most flavorful horchatas I've had, ironically. Something else, they put salsa on your tacos without asking. I personally don't like that, because I'm particular about my tacos, but I know some people appreciate it. Also, they gave me tiny, dry limes that wouldn't even be enough for one taco, let alone three. I was the only customer too, so it wouldn't have killed them to give me better/more limes. BUCHE TACO: It was in chopped pieces. I thought it'd be more chewy, but it was just barely chewy. A little fatty. Pretty mild flavor. It was alright. You're not missing out on anything if you skip this. SUADERO TACO: Not very moist. Honestly, a bit dry. Mild flavor too. Some fatty bits. There's nothing worse than a dry taco lacking flavor, with no lime to help. BIRRIA TACO: I thought this would be the only safe option I chose. Nope. Mild flavor and underwhelming too. Even when dipped in the consomé, which cost an extra $3.50 because I didn't get a combo. They also didn't even ask if I wanted to get any consomé. I had to go back and buy it when I saw the taco didn't come with any. HORCHATA: Best thing I had here. Super flavorful. It tasted like there was a lot of vanilla in it though, which I thought was weird. I've never had horchata with vanilla and it didn't mention it on the menu. But at least it was good and had flavor.

Highly recommend this taco truck. I tried the barbacoa, birria, bistec (steak) , and al pastor. The tacos were delicious and bursting with flavor. The bistec was by far my favorite taco. Each taco was $3.50 (excluding birria). The cashier was friendly and patient. There are a couple of tables for anyone wanting to eat there. I opted to take my food with me. My food was delicious and I'll definitely be back.

Overcooked, and greasy meat with cold tortillas ! Horrible

Overcooked meat full of grease cold tortillas no care for presentation just horrible Also, as for extra green salsa and no cilantro or onions, and they put both

Not much to say other than these mini tacos were soooo good! The best part is, it's only one block away from my apartment. Can't wait to try their birria!

Al Pastor Mini Tacos - ehhhh
Alex L.

Been here a couple times now and apparently I wasn't a fan of the birria tacos when I first came here but I don't have a picture of them. This time, I got the Al Pastor Mini Tacos for $12. The mini tacos didn't look particularly filling, but they ended up filling me up by the end of the meal. It's a $12 meal though, so I guess that makes sense. The al pastor itself tasted okay but it was dry and overcooked by my standards. The tortillas didn't really come across as being heated up to me, which is another knock against my personal tastes. I really loved that there was a creamy salsa on the tacos already - right up my alley there! You do get a jalapeno, a juicy lime slice, and two salsa containers. Looks like I got a green salsa and an orange or orange-red style of salsa. I normally don't like orange salsas but this one both had spice AND tasted good enough for me to actually use it on my tacos. Overall, ok just about sums this place up. I can't say it's good, but I can't say it's bad. Staff here was lovely, btw. As an aside, Sabor Tapatio recently moved locations slightly and the seating area + parking are notably a bit worse overall - no more covered seating, but at least you get pavement I suppose.

there was here in my food. They already put the sauce on my tacos. They gave me one and a half lime and I asked for cheese when it said you could and she said they had no cheese. I've eaten here before and they have I had cheese.

Al pastor, birria

Spent way too much time looking up a new taco truck to try. Found this lil gem on south Congress. They have a couple tables outside to sit and eat at. Tacos were amazing. I love that they include cebolla asada on the side. My favorite were the al pastor tacos - soooo juicy and flavorful. Partner loved the birria. Tacos were STUFFED so you really feel like you're getting your money's worth. Service was fast and food came out hot and fresh. We will def be back!

First time. Liked it a lot and will be back. Good two breakfast tacos at $3 each. Two is a full meal. Chorizo and egg and migas. Both very good fillings. Tortillas are a little thick (flour), but cooked well. Red salsa has a nice kick. It's good. Will come back for lunch tacos.

The best Birria tacos in Austin, HANDS down!!! A combination of crispy, spicy, melted cheese and fast customer service. They have reasonable prices as well, and tons of space for parking and eating there.

Savor Tapatio is hands down one of my favorite spots! Their birria tacos are absolutely unbeatable--tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The meat is always juicy, and the consomé is rich and full of flavor. I love how the tacos are served hot and fresh, and every bite is just as good as the last. Honestly, I'll drive all the way from the other side of town just to get my hands on these tacos. If you're craving some seriously delicious birria, Savor Tapatio is the place to go!

As I was leaving my hotel I bumped into some coworkers outside and mentioned I was heading here for dinner. A person passing by overheard me and stopped to rave about how they're the best tacos you can get in Texas. The speakeasy feel was awesome and relatively easy to find despite this being my first visit to Austin. I had the carne asada tacos and they were delicious. I also ordered a side of chips and salsa but my weak tastebuds embarassingly couldn't handle the spice. Seating was limited but I was carrying out anyways. Will definitely return when I'm back in Austin!

Go through another door, and you'll find a small dining area and a hallway with a sign showing you where to order. After you place your order, they'll give you a ticket. Be sure to hand the ticket to one of the cooks; otherwise you won't get your food. We got the carne asada tacos, adobada (pastor) taco, and carne asada volcan. Everything was seriously delicious, rich, and flavorful. The meat was juicy and tender, and they were very generous with the portions. If all the seats inside are taken inside the restaurant, you can dine in the bar area or outside in the alley. This taco speakeasy spot is so good, we came back the next day with our friends. We will definitely be back in the future!

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.
