1st of all, I love the El senor crocket, the 1st one on the menu. I think it is tasted better than the popular street taco which is little bit dry to me. The waiter is very nice and patient to answer questions and introduce options even though we went during lunch time and there was a long line. The vegetarian options we bought were ok. My friend wasn't enjoying much. read more

Hands down the best tacos ever. Inviting exterior and hole in the wall interior. Who knew such a place can provide some of the tastiest tacos ever? Had tried four, each was bursting with flavour in its own way. Delicious and healthy tasting. No wonder, this place is so popular. I can probably eat this every day. read more

Best Mexican food ever. Excellent 85 times since yelp wants me to work for free for them....but the restaurant deserves all the credit...,

Literally stumbled upon this place as we were trying to make a u-turn to go to another Tacos place and boy oh boy they had the best tacos we've had in a very long time. Appetizer: chips with salsa - delicious! We couldn't stop eating them. They are hand made so are very crunchy with great flavor. Can have with or without salsa. The salsa was delicious too. A bit spicy for me (I normally don't like spice) but I couldn't stop eating it either. My BFF ordered: (1) Seared Fish Tacos - Seared. Seared fish fillet topped with honey lime cabbage slaw & topped with cilantro & cotija cheese - (2) Chicken Fajita Taco - Marinated chicken seared with onions & peppers. I ordered the: (1) Street Tacos - Grilled sirloin, caramelized onion, avo, cilantro, queso fresco - (2) Wholly Mole Chicken - ***CAUTION*** CONTAINS PEANUTS. Pulled chicken stewed in homemade mole sauce topped with shredded cabbage & queso fresco. Sides: Red Salsa (that's the actual name) and Chipotle Salsa which were delicious and fresh as well. (I'm eating the chips as I write this and can't stop eating them two hours later LOL). All are good sized portions so suggest you start with two tacos unless you're really hungry. In my opinion two tacos are enough. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We look forward to our next visit. This location is at Riverside Drive and are only open from 7am - 4pm and closed on Mondays. Enjoy! read more

If I were still a college kid on a budget, I'd be hitting up this taco joint all the time. The tacos are massive in size and they along with everything else on the menu is cheap. I had the migas and fish tacos. They were good, but I prefer street tacos than these Texas styled tacos. Their fish taco was pretty disappointing if you've ever had fish tacos from California. We also ordered the fajita salad that came with a choice of chicken, and we may get it with another protein next time since the chicken was really dry. The chicken tortilla soup we had was pretty good. It came in a really pretty bowl too. Still something to check out if you're in the area. Come for the huge tacos and cheap eats! read more

I got the chorizo and egg taco, but it was mostly just egg and literally the tiniest amount of chorizo. I couldn't even taste any chorizo. At least the torta ahogada was amazing! read more

Taco Joint - Chorizo and egg taco - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

every taco I ate here was phenomenal and I had about 9 different variations over 3 days. The place isn't particularly big but it has a nice outdoor space and the most important part they offer tacos that will cover all the bases even have flour and corn tortilla options. The secret menu is heavenly, I had a steak taco that tastes like what Chipotle only wishes it could be. Pair the tacos with one of the fruit margarita options and that a good breakfast, lunch or dinner option. Definitely get here if you are in Austin read more

Excellent little dive with yummy tacos! Short walk from all the shopping on Congress..

These tacos are very very solid in a town that's got lots of options. Quick and good!

That's what I'm talking about! After a disappointing experience at another nearby taco place, I figured I'd give Austin tacos another shot. Got a steak benedicto and a potato egg and cheese. Wow. So incredibly good. Nice service, didn't take too long (helped to come in at 9am). Great salsas too. The pico style salsa is good and not too spicy. The green avocado crema salsa was mouth burning. And they gave extra hollandaise with the benedicto. Anyway, 5 stars. I can see why this gets a line later in the morning. Worth it. Easy 5 stars, some of the best tacos I've ever had. read more

I came to Austin for the sole purpose of eating at as many different barbecue spots as was physically possible over the course of three days, and you know what I ended up doing? I ended up eating at Taco Joint THREE times in three days. Even from a harsh, Los Angeles-based taco critic like myself, Taco Joint really is that good. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Taco Joint is authentic, local, and boy oh boy are they the real deal. Quality ingredients reign supreme, but even so they're speedy and while having adapted to covid they still maintain a comfortable eating atmosphere outside. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Taco Joint's street tacos are... not at all street tacos nor are they priced as such. Move over little $1.25 single bit street tacos, because these are beastly flour wrapped tacs that are very much worth their $3.95 price tag. Breakfast tacos were cheaper, rightfully so, but all in all the same size. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? It is tough these days to find a taco spot that well executes traditional, contemporary, and breakfast tacos, but Taco Joint does exactly that. Their breakfast tacos? Spot on, with great meats that pair with their habanero salsa in particular. Their street tacos? Stellar, and bursting with flavor from their high quality meats. Finally, their grilled fish taco was the surprise of the evening, and was without a doubt one of the best grilled fish tacos I've had in some time. Two Stars. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Absolutely. Star. read more

Taco Joint is awesome. Tacos, beer and more tacos. Life is good. What more can I add to 298 reviews and 4.5 stars. Huge tacos with lots of protein. Lots of flavor. Options of sauces. More options of tacos and all good. Fresh tortillas. No Burritos. This place rocks with delicious tacos. Steak, chicken, pork, breakfast, veggie tacos. Lots of options. Staff is friendly. Everything is fresh. Indoor seating as well as outside seating. Seems always busy. Check hours of operations. It varies. Many times I have walk over and forget they close early on certain days. Tortas also huge and very tasty. Lots of flavor. Some are messy because it is stuff with stuff. Variety. All good. Overall, Taco Joint is a very solid place for tacos and tortas. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Hole in the wall place, but it works. Cheap and tasty. CC friendly. Private parking lot. read more

During a work trip to Austin, I stumbled upon Taco Joint because I didn't have a car and it was within walking distance from my hotel. I could not have made a better (albeit impromptu) choice! I ordered three tacos just to have enough food because I assumed they would be smaller, like at many taco places I have been to in the past. It was a pleasant surprise, however, because Taco Joint's tacos are HUGE. They absolutely do not skimp on the fillings. Everything is tasty and made to order as well. When I couldn't decide which salsa I wanted, the cashier was very nice and gave me one of each to try. This was a wonderful last meal to have before heading to the airport, and I am so happy that I got to try delicious breakfast tacos while in Austin. read more

Great tacos, great salsa! Dog friendly, serves chicken and rice doggie special! Odd hours on the weekends. Love this spot!!!

Great place, great staff, always great ambiance and service. Would suggest this to anyone in the area.

Came here for breakfast and of course got a migas open face taco which was loaded with onions, tomato, and jalapenos with cheese. That was practically a meal on its own since the portion was so big! Everything was really fresh and the bites were really flavorful. I also got the steak, egg and gouda taco because I didn't think one would be enough and that one was decent but not as good as the migas. The steak was a bit tough and chewy and I wish the cheese was melted more. Make sure to eat the tacos with their hot sauces!! read more

Taco joint is probably my favorite tacos in Austin. The tortillas may be the best I've ever had! Breakfast tacos are really good but i personably think taco joint shines at lunch time. The El Senor Crocket is my go to, but the El Porko is also great. You really can't go wrong here. The salsas are also amazing, definitely try a few options! read more

First taco stop in Austin! Tacos were fire, sauces were great too but one star deducted because they took forever to come out, with not that many people you'd expect it to come out within 10 minutes, it was more 25-30. Hopefully next return the service will be faster, but it was still a soild taco spot! Migas taco was my fav! read more

We got there fairly early on a Saturday so the line was short and the food came out quickly loved sitting out doors with our current weather. Barbacoa tacos with the chipotle sauce makes for a really great taco and they don't scrimp o. The amount of meat. Tortillas were good and not too thick so you aren't eating a lot of tortilla to meat combo. The open face migas taco I was told was one of the best around. Large enough to make a meal. Get there early, sit outside and enjoy some excellent tacos. read more

I love this spot. I started going here when I was in law school back in 2014, and recently went back. It has changed a little but the quality is still excellent. Big tacos, home made tortillas, great sauces. Definitely a top spot for anyone visiting Austin on their breakfast taco journey. read more

One of the cleanest taco restaurants I've visited in Austin this far. Staff is extremely nice and attentive. I came here on a Tuesday of course ready to celebrate taco Tuesday after a long week and was blown away by the taste of their tacos. I had the chicken fajita taco with cilantro and pico added to it. Street taco style and my taste buds are screaming thank you! I'd make this my favorite taco shop in Austin. Margaritas were nicely priced! And worth it read more

When my boyfriend asked me what I wanted to eat on a Monday morning, I told him we could get whatever he wanted. In reality, I knew he'd let me choose and that I'd get to say Taco Joint because I've been looking it up the whole night before. Now that I got to try it, I've been dreaming about their tacos ever since. We got the El Senor Crockett, El 420, Street Taco, El Porko, and the Migas Open Face Taco. My goodness.. they were all specTACOlar! There is a reason why El Senor Crockett's first on the menu. It's perfectly seasoned and we couldn't get enough of it. El 420 has an interesting twist with fries in it. Street Taco (with sirloin) and El Porko (with.. well, pork) were both great as well. The Migas Taco is also amazing, with fluffy eggs, peppers, jalapeños, tomatoes, and cheese. All of the tacos were HUGE too! They also have a sauce bar and a wide variety of hot sauces for you to choose from. We went in around 10:45 so there weren't many people there. The place is small and cutely decorated with Loteria pieces as their wall decor. The service was quick and friendly too! We made a great decision coming to Taco Joint for our last day in Austin and we can't wait to be back soon! read more

Excellent tacos, great prices, friendly service. They use double corn tortillas as a rule. And a resident cat.

The soyrizo, some of the best I've ever had. Smoky-a** flavor just settles into your tastebuds effortlessly. Ask for avocado on that thang, er, taco, I mean ... and celebrate it. Oh yeah, douse it in avocado salsa for extra spice factor. And rejoice. You're welcome. If you drop by for lunch, do yourself a favor and order the chicken fajita salad. It is all sorts of epic, and massive. Pro tip: don't use the dressing it comes with it. Instead, baptize it in avocado salsa, like a mutha. It complements the chicken and crunchy tortilla strips perfectly. Wow, what an epic surprise. Seriously, one of the best salads I've ever had. See pic. I ain't lyin'. I'm going back for another one. read more

I was coming to Austin for one night so I asked my friend who lives in the area where a good place to get tacos is. She suggested Taco Joint and I'm so happy she did!! First of all, the tacos are so big. Completely worth the $4 average for their tacos. Everything was very flavorful and fresh. The tortillas tasted homemade and were honestly probably my favorite part of the tacos. I had both the street taco and a grilled shrimp taco. While both were outstanding, my favorite had to be the street taco! The street taco consisted of steak, caramelized onion, avocado, cilantro, & quest fresco. The grilled shrimp taco had a bunchhhhh of mini shrimp along with onions & bell peppers. They had five different salsas to choose from as well as some bottled hot sauces. I also had a pineapple jarrito to drink. About $21 for two people if you have 2 tacos and a drink. I really like the lotería inspired paintings on the wall too. The pictures of various animals wearing sombreros was pretty cute too! I definitely plan on coming back here when I'm in Austin again! read more

This is actually my favorite low-key local taco joint in the city. I have had a hard time finding even a food truck that produces better tacos than here. There are dressier chains like Velvet Taco that do a good job with high end offerings. There's bar restaurants like Turf N' Surf Po Boy at Lavaca St Bar that makes amazing fish tacos. There's restaurants like El Alma that makes amazing al pastor tacos. But this place does everything well, if not the best - and the offerings are far plenty. And affordable. With a chill vibe indoors and a large patio outside to eat in sandals and even in pajamas, this place can easily do the trick for many without judgment. And healthy substitutions such as wheat tortillas can be had although they do have some already-healthy offerings in the menu as well. Oh, and yes - my favorite migas tacos in town is here also - ask for it without the jalapeño if you don't want it spicy. read more
