    Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos + Al Pastor Tacos
    Sydney H.

    Great tacos at a pickup kiosk! Located downstairs in the food hall. The carne asada was flavorful and I thought it was interesting that it came with cooked onions rather than raw. The al pastor was really flavorful and paired nicely with the pineapple chunks on top. The mahi mahi was delicious, flaky, and well cooked. Some corn tortillas were mixed up with flour and vice versa, but it wasn't a huge deal :)

    This place finally hit all of my cravings! It was so good. It took awhile to receive my order but it was well worth the wait. They are located inside of the Fairground Food Hall.

    This is one of the basement food stalls located in the Fareground Food Hall in Downtown. We were craving breakfast tacos, so here we found ourselves. There was no line & you order through a self-service kiosk. I got the birria & pork burnt ends tacos. Both were surprisingly delicious, not too soggy or dry! My date got the carne asada tacos, I didn't taste any. Food came out within 10-15 minutes. No comments other than I always feel bad not finishing the rest of the consomme tub Overall, having come from Atlanta - which arguably now is a "city of food halls" with new ones opening every couple of months, I believe Austin has more growing to do in this space. Fareground seemed kind of dead despite the fancy seating. It could also be more busy on weekdays when people are in offices for work, though. One stall neighboring Taco Pegaso actually closed (according to my date). I think Taco Pegaso's staff is quite entrepreneurial, having set up a tent upstairs next to the regular long lines of Desnudo Coffee.

    I usually go to Yoga at the Faregrounds on Sunday and always pass by the Taco Pegaso outdoor taco stand where I see them preparing fresh breakfast tacos from scratch on the outdoor flattop. I have always wanted to stop and try one and so glad that I did. The price point for their tacos are a bit high, but you can watch the employees make the tacos right in front of you. You wait in line to place your order. They have a selection of breakfast taco options to choose from. I ordered the egg, bacon and cheese breakfast taco on a flour tortilla. You have an option to choose from corn or flour tortillas. The tacos are prepared to order and then they call your name when ready to pick up. They have a verde and red salsa. There is outdoor seating in the plaza where you can enjoy eating your tacos. They have a generous portion of ingredients in the taco and one was very filling. I hope to come back next Sunday and try other tacos!

    Yummy tacos inside Fareground! Keep your receipt, you can use it to validate parking in the garage. Birria taco is nice. Love the sauce that comes with it. There's a good cheese pull too! Can't remember the other taco I got...it might be al pastor. Also yummy! It has pineapple on top

    Nice little spot at the Fareground food court. You order at an iPad & get a text when your order is ready--totally contact-free. There's plenty of seating inside & out & they had an inflatable screen outside playing football on a Sunday. Seemed like a great place to eat & hang out. The birria tacos were pretty good but the chips were delicious--thick & bubbly. The queso was nothing special, I want to try the salsa next time.

    Started eating before I even thought about a picture because it looked so good! I got the mani mahi bowl and my boyfriend got the beef and chorizo burger! We saw it being made fresh after ordering on the tablet and it was so good! Definitely exceeded our expectations! It definitely stood out to us in the food hall and I'm glad we picked to grab food there! I loved being able to watch the cook in the open kitchen too!

    Ordered the Carne Asada torta from Taco Pegaso for lunch at work--came loaded with refried beans, melted Oaxaca cheese, guac, onion, tomato, shredded lettuce, chipotle mayo, all on a bolillo roll. Look, I respect the ambition... but it was doing way too much. The carne asada got buried under all that extra. Gave it a 4 out of 10. Not mad, just not my vibe. I wouldn't order this version again, but I'm not writing the place off--I'd still give Taco Pegaso another shot with something a little more straightforward. Delivery was smooth though, no issues there.

    Overall: 3.9/5 [take out] We came across this stand right next to the Desnudo Cafe truck while waiting for our coffee and decided to try a breakfast taco. We ordered the New York Texan without cheese on a flour tortilla ($4.50). It was freshly made, packed with protein, and you could tell the cook was passionate about his craft by the way he tapped the food. They provided two spicy sauces (red and green) with our order, which added great flavor, especially since we skipped the cheese. Overall, it was good--something I'd happily get again if I'm in the area, though not extraordinary enough to go out of my way for.

    Carne Asada Quesadilla
    Soseh P.

    Went for a quick lunch. Was our first time at fairground and they have few food options. Spotted Taco Pegaso and so we ordered carne asada quesadilla. The flavors were on point, the meat was tender. Next time will ask them to add everything inside since they do put it in small containers like the sour cream and guac. For a quick lunch spot, recommend this spot.

    It's pretty fast. I was there in a large group so it made sense that it took a little. You order on the iPads and don't have to interact with the staff. I will say it was a little complicated to order on the iPads and there were a lot of options. There is not a ton of seating inside especially around lunch time. I got a quesadilla it was great. Nice place highly recommend.

    Not your average food court!

    I had some questions about the menu but couldn't get anyone's attention so we just ordered at the iPad. The food was muh, the TacoDeli down the street is better and it was so over priced!! If we ever come back I'll grab something from the Venezuelan place!

    2 Smoked Brisket - Birria Tacos
    Ronald M.

    Was located inside of a building with a few other food options and a bar. Kind of like a mini food court. You order on a tablet which was kind of cool because you can see the food that you are ordering and see all of the extra items that you can add on. The customer service was good, they send you a text when your order is ready. The steak taco was amazing, the steak was fresh and juicy, they cook the food right in-front of you so you know that it's fresh. The Birria tacos were amazing as well, some of the best that I have had in central Texas, I just wish that it came with 3 instead of 2.

    Perfect spot for late-night tacos!…read more The best part is that they have great vegetarian options, including both paneer and tofu tacos, and both are absolutely delicious. It's not always easy to find flavorful vegetarian tacos, so this place was a pleasant surprise. I loved it so much that I ended up visiting twice during my two-day trip to Austin. If you're in the city, this place is definitely worth checking out!

Sixth Street's neon and noise are basically next door, the Capitol sits up the hill, and the whole area is packed with people, bars, and that classic Austin mix of polished downtown hustle and late-night chaos. Velvet Taco is pure counter-service: you walk right up, order at the register, and then grab a seat. There's plenty of seating, so even with a couple of kids in tow it was no problem finding a spot. The place leans hard into what can only be called white-people tacos--soft, sad flour tortillas that taste like they came straight out of a grocery-store package, loaded with every wild creation the kitchen can invent. Global mashups, brunch hybrids, burger impostors, the works. No one is pretending these are the real deal. I went for the chicken-and-waffles taco, which was actually built on a thin, real waffle instead of a tortilla. Surprisingly good--crispy, a little sweet, chicken holding its own. The burger taco tasted exactly like a cheeseburger that had wandered into a tortilla and decided to stay. We also tried the shrimp taco (fine), one daughter got the kids' chicken taco (perfectly kid-level), and the other ordered the chicken tikka (spicy, saucy, and very much in the "why is this on a tortilla?" category). Everything was okay. Comparable to Torchy's in that same creative-American-taco lane. If you're looking for a true Mexican taco, stay far away. But if you just want to play around with some decent flavors on a cheap flour store-bought tortilla while sitting in the middle of downtown Austin, this is your spot. Not my favorite. Glad I tried it. Won't be back.

These are honestly some of the best tacos I've had in Austin! The pastor was cooked perfectly: flavorful, slightly crispy around the edges, and packed with plenty of meat, all wrapped in a delicious handmade tortilla. Every bite was so good that I immediately wanted more. I also ordered a quesadilla, which was perfectly cheesy and just the right size to satisfy without feeling too heavy. Honestly, if I had more room, I would have ordered enough tacos to last me the whole next day! I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Austin.

I dropped in at 7:30a on a Friday, and watched a steady stream of people come in for takeout. All our food came quickly. Apparent regulars got a friendly recognition by the front of house when they got to the front of the line. I had a Migas and a Taco Jefe. The fill ratio was correct: I was able to hold it closed without really squeezing, and better, nothing was soggy to weaken the very lightly warmed tortilla. But I wanted a higher salt level in the eggs and steak, and some crisp on both proteins would've improved texture balance. It's pretty solid. I think my mom would give it a 5. But for me, it's a solid 4.

    OMG where do I start? My plans started horribly today, and I didn't even plan on eating here today,…read morebut the food here at Veracruz All Natural completely turned my day around. I had only stopped by this Food Truck (area) to try Desnudo Coffee, and spotted this business. I had heard some good things about Veracruz, but I was planning lunch elsewhere. Well, that other spot was CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS! Seeing my situation, I saw it as opportunity to try the options at Veracruz --- including the famous from Food Network, migas taco. I ordered 4 tacos: the migas, migas poblano, shrimp macha (!!), and the Dona Reyna tacos. All of these specific tacos were priced between $6 and $6.75 per taco, not bad in Austin, and not bad considering the quality of said tacos. As you can see from my order, I opted on the more "novel" choices and they did not disappoint; that said, I do HIGHLY recommend the two variations of the migas taco and the shrimp macha taco. Oh, the shrimp macha was so FIRE, the flavors were bold and smoky with a kiss of heat. The migas tacos were FULLY LOADED, and the scramble with the tortilla chips were flavorul. TIP: They will ask corn or flour --- do flour. Everything is handmade, but those corn tortillas fall apart with all the sauce. Flour = durable and flavorful. I had plans, but the Universe had other plans for me that were superior. Try Veracruz All Natural --- and if your limited on $$$, you can snag 3 EXCEPTIONAL LOADED TACOS for about $20, that you will not find anywhere else!

I walked into this unassuming restaurant and perused the menu, which felt like Mexican tarot cards. Pictures. Titles. Small description. It all looked basic. But simple food made with fresh ingredients and seasoned well has won Michelin stars. Unfortunately, I don't foresee them receiving one. The al pastor taco was tasty. The steak taco had too much fat in it. If I was strictly bashing this review on the food. I'd give it a three. It's not worth the price. Now, the service seemed to be decent until I didn't put a tip on my takeout order. Things seemed to go south. When my name was called, I grabbed the small paper bag and paused. No guacamole. If I hadn't have looked, I could've walked a really long wasteful before noticing. Maybe long enough to not go back. The last behind the counter, said okay I'll get it. It felt like a chore. I said thank you and made the long walk fighting the heat of the dragon's breath once again. The story does not stop there, I thought 3 tacos, a drink, and guacamole couldn't honestly cost $43. The guilt of spending that kind of money on such little food that was also just average, screamed in my conscience. Well, that was because the woman also had not given me my tres leches, which was going to be for my wife. I took the long walk back, stood at the counter for what felt like 10 minutes,and again it felt like a chore to get me what I paid for. No sorry. I would suggest taking a little longer walk to Taqueria de Diez
