This restaurant was right around the corner from my hotel and I was able to scooter to it with no issues. The atmosphere was amazing, although it was busy it was very speedy with ordering and getting your food. The service was amazing and once we sat down and ate we devoured our food. I will definitely come back to this place. Don't miss out on the hidden menu which was on the wall right by the register. I ordered the shrimp tacos and a side of fries. The special sauces at the bar was also an added incentive that made the tacos taste really good as well. You must visit this place if you are near. read more

Taco joint is the closest restaurant to my work, which is a great relief. We used to cater from here pretty frequently for breakfast, which is perfect since their breakfast tacos are amongst the best in Austin. Chorizo/sausage/bacon and egg are all great, especially slathered with their avocado salsa. Lunch tacos are good too, and they're pretty quick about it despite seemingly longer lines. My personal favorites are the street taco or either the grilled/fried fish ones with the slightly sweet slaw. Two will fill you up alright. Or mix match a breakfast with a lunch taco for lunch on the cheap. read more

During the time I visit this location a young lady helped us. I ordered the tacos and the tortas tacos where great but when I asked to switch my tortas cause of how sweet it was she looked at me with disgrace after the one bite I took she said she wasn't able to refund or switch it out. Very disappointing. read more

if there is guy running the place today it would explain why no on answers the phone! i can't place an order; your online site is just spinning! last time i had to drive all the way up there to find this punk with the phone off the hook because he was talking on his personal phone! someone needs to find a new employee! read more

Hubby and I ended up binge watching the Food Network one random night and we landed on "Tacos in Texas" good idea and bad idea. Bad idea because we needed tacos immediately, GOOD idea because Taco Joint is in our back yard!!! The location is weird ... ill admit, but its SO GOOD. I am picky with my tacos and want them to be home made, and fresh. This had all the check marks. Hubby and I got 4 different tacos and ate them all. They also have Mexican Cola which was perfect to wash these down with. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Love breakfast tacos. Came here Sat AM with some friends while we were in town for the weekend. The line was not too long and it moved pretty quickly. It's a cute little place with a good amount of parking. The menu has a wide variety of options - I went with spinach and egg white (my vain attempt to be healthy) and steak/gouda/eggs. The tacos came out pretty quickly - we were able to find a seat for 4 by the time we had ordered and gotten our drinks. I also got a few of their dipping sauces - green chile, habanero, and avocado. All of them were really good and went with both tacos well (note - they call the numbers up front so if you're sitting in the back, you probably won't hear them). Overall a pretty good, cheap place. Worth stopping by if you're looking for some tasty breakfast tacos. read more

I loved el señor crockett. I think if you are really hungry, you should buy two. I got the corn tortillas, as they are healthy. They give you a variety of sauces! I don't like spicy, and of course, I poured the cloudy green sauce, which was spicy; my own fault. Inside it's air conditioned, but chilly! Outside is too hot. The food and service was great! read more

This place knows what they're doing. They're house-made tortillas are light but hold together, the way they grill them up works too. Service is quick in my experience (waited less than 5 min for my food). All together just worth checking out. The chipotle salsa stood out to me. Migas taco was huge and good. Gouda for the cheese was delicious with my steak taco. read more

Being only 5 mins away, I go here at least twice a week. Though service has gotten extremely slow in the past few months, everything else has been good. However, yesterday, I received the worst service ever. I ordered pickup and when I went to the restaurant and my name was called, I just grabbed the bag of food and left as I've always done. Once I got home, I realized they gave me someone else's order. I called in to let them know the situation and the phone call was kind of weird, the person on the phone kept reiterating my order for some reason instead of letting me know how they'd rectify the issue. I was finally told to come back and get my actual order. Once I got to the restaurant, the guy at the counter (his name was Genaro) literally threw the bag of food on the counter and waved me away. No apology, no thanks for coming back, nothing. Not sure how them giving me the wrong order was my fault, but that made me feel incredibly bad and annoyed. And the icing on the cake: I got sick after eating the food that was my actual order! I order the same stuff all the time so that was strange. I will NEVER ever eat from this place again. Maybe they should hire people who actually care about customers and not rude family members. read more

Taco Joint - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Have you ever thought Taco Joint could get any better? FOOD// I get El Senor Crockett and Fried Fish - these are my go-to tacos at Taco Joint. I always knew this place had really good tacos as I go to UT Austin one often; so, I wasn't expecting anything, but just enjoying as usual. I was shook. I do believe the portion seems little larger than the one near UT Austin and tastes even greater. I'm just too shook for that. SERVICE// Nothing much for positivity. My order came out very fast and the sauce/water has a self-bar. ATMOSPHERE// I think it's pretty cool to be stand alone restaurant. SURROUNDING// read more

This was the first stop after arriving in Austin. I was famished since I had a morning flight and landed in the late afternoon. My stomach had eyes only for tacos at this point. I ordered El 4/20 and a Street Taco. El 4/20 - Carnitas tacos sprinkled with thin shoestring french fries. The meat was flavorful but this taco as a whole didn't "wow" me. Not bad, though. To be honest, this review is mainly for the Street Taco because I ordered one and got a second one after finishing the first. This grilled sirloin taco includes grilled onions, avocados, and queso fresco. Every bite was a beautiful, juicy explosion of flavor. I couldn't recommend this one enough. Don't forget to grab some of the salsas for your tacos. Their avocado and their chipotle salsas were my favorite. read more

Taco Joint - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Covid review: Taco joint is a long time favorite spot of mine - and covid is no different. Their quality and attention to taco-detail hasn't changed one bit! My favorites are the classic street taco and the 4/20 !! But here is what changed: (1) line: the line typically was inside along the center wall. Now the line goes straight out the front door, and you exit to the right as you wait for your tacos (2) masks: required while ordering and inside (3) curbside pickup: pull up to the front left of the building, and you pull up to the railing. Sometimes there are so many cars you need to park, but not to worry ! Just pull into a parking space and call in your car model and they will bring it right out. read more

Good but did not blow me away like I was expecting from the high reviews. I had two street tacos, they were good sized and it's nice they have avocado in them. Not the best taco I've ever had but satisfactory. The margaritas sounded good but it's a pre-made slushy mix and they just add some juice or syrup if you order a flavored one, a bit too sweet but I'm not really a margarita fan anyway. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back but if you're in the area and need a quick and relatively affordable lunch, you could do worse. read more

A disappointing drive to a permanently closed Kesos Taco House on S. Congress lead us to this place. Trying for the first time, I had the Portobello Tacos and Migas. My favorite part being able to have a beer and/or magarita with you work meal. The Magarita was nicely sweet, not sour. The amount was perfect for a work lunch. The flour tortilla was thick and homemade and I love a taco joint that serves the habenero and jalapenso creme sauce. The Migas was large, cheesy, hot and fresh. The Portbobello Taco with grilled onions was saucy in a sweet salty sauce but lacked another ingredient. Although saucy and cheesy, both needed their sauces to bring it together. With a couple of taco places closing down, it sure is a good time for Taco Joint to have their grand opening. So far so good as to having it by our new go-to "Taco Joint". Will definitely be back to confirm it. I was told their Street Taco gets a lot of praise. Tip to Taco Joint: Can you panko fry the Portobello Tacos?! I think that would be a great added dimension. Shake Shake has an addicting Portobello Burger using this technique. read more

Taco Joint - Portobello and Migas Tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

It's a pretty unassuming looking place on Riverside - I cant imagine I would have ventured in, but a friend wanted breakfast here so I obliged - and I am SO grateful that I did. Fresh and flaky house made tacos make even the most basic tacos DELICIOUS, and the migas - on the hard shell was glorious. Fresh flavours, good range of salsa options, plenty of easily distance-a-ble outside seating space. Win win win. My only slight minus was the number of grackles - but it's Austin + my toddler LOVES them so they can stay! read more

Holy sh*t!! Who is reviewing this place? I suspect it's college kids who are still drunk from the night before from what I just saw. Chose this place from the good reviews on Yelp, pictures of the tacos looked great too. Welp ‍ the eggs taste like they are liquid eggs with no flavor, chicken tortilla soup was even weirder. I really can't even put my finger on what the flavor was. The barbacoa was cold and tough. It may have even been carnitas. I couldn't tell either because it didn't taste or look like barbacoa. Never got to taste the chorizo since our order was wrong. I could've complained but after tasting everything I took my L and ordered Con Madre from their patio so I could eat real tacos. Giving them one star because I have to and because salsa was good. read more

We tried this out today after many recommendations. It did not disappoint! Service was amazing. Both cashiers were nice and helped our group with great suggestions . The food was espetacular! I had the fried fish, the street taco and el pastor, with chipotle, avocado and green salsas and it was like I was in heaven. My friends ordered the shrimp and migas and they love it. Only problem was it is hot outside - Texas summer- we sat inside and the music was way too loud. We couldn't enjoy a conversation. Besides that, way to go Taco Joint!!! read more

The best migas breakfast taco ever!!! The bad thing about this place is that they take a while to make your order in the morning since so many people come for breakfast but I think it's worth the wait. Again, best migas ever. Their lunch tacos are good but breakfast ones are better. I did try the shrimp tacos and their shrimp isn't fresh. Go for beef or chicken tacos for lunch instead. read more

If there was a salsa option God of Austin -- it'd be the joint. I remember my first el 4/20 taco ... It was followed by two more in one sitting with some red and aguacate SAUHSS.... I MAY or MAY NOT have been the guy on the deck at lunchtime on a beautiful spring day using hand packets of salt and getting it everywhere so I could salt my Pacifico bottle.... I may or may not have had a couple more after that first one. They'll give you your lime in a plastic sandwich baggie. Look bro, there is a culture requirement that you need to uphold when entering the joint, and that just means that every now and then (about twice a year) you gotta get schwifty in there. I've eaten a ton of their tacos, but the el 4/20 will forever be my favorite at the joint... read more

Absolutely love this place. Only had the breakfast options but was never disappointed. Sausage, egg and cheese was my favorite. Bacon, egg and cheese solid. Potato, egg and cheese was a close second. The sauce selections were amazing as well. Each one adds a unique flavor to the burrito. read more

Food was good. I was impressed with the taco fillings for El 420, Wholly Mole and chorizo and egg. The place is packed so it's an indication of the food, but with limited seating inside. I sat outside and it was hard to eat with all the flies in the patio. They didn't empty the trash, and the dirty dishes and trays were attracting the flies. That really made for a disappointing dining experience. They do have a great selection of tacos with numerous filling combinations, and they also serve beer. I'll be back to try out the rest of the menu but if seating isn't available inside then it'll be a to-go order. read more

Taco Joint - El 420 (top), chorizo/egg and Wholly Mole - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Overall not bad, but not anything special. Pickup order was wrong but honestly that's all good, I like all tacos. Migas was very good, shimp was too watery on a taco and fell apart with the veggies that weren't quite cooked long enough which made everything more slimy. Tamale was good and HUGE! Overall middle of the pack, nothing set this place ahead of others. read more

First time I came I wasn't a huge fan, and then I discovered the meatless breakfast tacos. You seriously can't go wrong, and a perfect option for vegetarians if you like eggs. The sauces are amazing too. All I need is one taco because it's huge! Also got the margs once and they're really fun, love the cool flavors. Also, we got takeout that time and turns out they had made too many margs so they just handed those extra ones to us -- talk about a fun time! read more

Taco Joint - Fish taco and chicken fajita - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Really solid tacos - loved the Crockett and Street tacos while the seared fish was a bit of a miss (strong fish smell which didn't give me confidence :) The reason I give it four stars is because I kept comparing it to Taco Deli - which it seems very similar to in terms of the menu and line! - but I think it comes up just short The king has yet to be dethroned read more

Awesome breakfast taco spot. Come here hungry and you won't be disappointed! Everything I've had on the menu has been great.

DELICIOUS!! We stopped here during our trip to Austin. We had three different tacos and they all were amazing!! The best part was the multitude of sauces available. If we go back to Austin, this place will definitely be on our list to go to again! Highly recommend! read more

i'm very picky about tacos and i'll say that this place has amazing breakfast tacos! the lunch tacos are also decent. I order from this place at least once a week, and my favorite is their migas. it's hard to find good migas, but theirs is soooooo good. I see the same people every time i'm there, so I think that's a good sign and I believe they're a family owned business but i'm not 100% sure. they've always been good to me. I will say this however, their portions seem just a bit larger when you eat in as opposed to takeout... maybe it's my imagination but I don't think so. that being said... if you're able to, eat in! read more

Delicious food, great vibe, awesome service. Everyone was super nice and food came out quick even when the place was packed!

Amazing!! We travel from Florida just for these tacos! (Sort of...) so so good. My husband and son love the street tacos. I love the shrimp. And the Wholly Mole. Don't give it a second thought. Get tacos here! read more

Fresh, tasty, fair price. Will come back. Used Yelp to find it. So happy. I'm 11 characters away

This place isn't messing around with breakfast tacos! The bacon egg and cheese on flour and the open face migas were my go to. The open face migas is something I've never had before def different (and good) than other original migas at other taco shops. They also kill the salsa /sauce game. The salsa bar is free and you can try all of them. I liked the avocado and the chipotle sauce on my breakfast tacos! Tortillas are fresh also. Line gets long on the weekends so go early! read more

Whether its brunch, a snack, or any other meal, you really can't go wrong with tacos! Taco Joint is a solid spot to grab flavorful and delicious tacos. There are plenty of choices here, whether its breakfast tacos or regular tacos. The fried fish one is a great choice! There's seating on both the inside and outside. There's some parking around but it usually fills up pretty fast so you see cars circling around to find someone who's leaving. The tacos are pricey but the amount of food inside is decent. They have multiple types of sauces near the front so take your pic! Overall its a solid taco place with good flavor. read more

Look Taco Joint never disappoints! You got to go around a good time if you don't want to wait in line and sit, unless you order to go (what I do all the time). I've eaten the street taco here as well and it's a blessing the grilled onion is the specialty it's very delicious better than some taco I've had and I eat them pretty frequently. Also the tortas are so magnificently tasty and well done, they really care for the food quick or not you're getting something worthy here 24/7 . read more

This place is SO GOOD. Breakfast tacos all day and the staff here clearly work their asses off. Don't forget to TIP YOUR WAITSTAFF whether you're dining out or eating in. They deserve it! read more

Love it. Go to place when in town. The chipotle salsa is greatness!! Many different good tacos. Bean and cheese is standout, pastor too! read more

We go here at least once a week for lunch or breakfast. The tacos are absolutely unbeatable, Austin has a lot of good taco spots but this has to be top 5. The chicken and wholly mole are some of our favorites. But the veggie and fish are also stellar. Expect to wait in line but it moves fast. Do not skip on the salsas, the chipotle, habanero and avocado are a must. read more

Writing this to lyk you ROCK && whoever made the salsa this morning was ON POINT W/ IT!! Hottest and best salsa I've had from here yet. Thanks for everything y'all do--AMAZING read more

I really like this place. The variety of tacos is good. The salsas are delicious and compliment the flavor of the tacos.

Stayed at a hotel nearby and found this little spot. Food was delicious and the margarita was small, cheap, and strong. Just perfect.

Great tacos and not super expensive! We got 5 tacos to try and it was only $18! We tried the open face migas, soyrizo and potato, fried fish, shrimp, and potato and avo! Loved the salsa bar; all the tacos were a great size. There is limited seating inside, but they do have a patio. read more
