I usually have a great experience here and wanted to share both the good and the not-so-good. I absolutely love the TacoDeli Bowl--I always get it with mushrooms, whole black beans, and white veggie rice. The jalapeño ranch dressing is fantastic and really brings everything together. I'm also a big fan of "The Heather" taco on corn. The bowl is something I order often, and it's consistently been a favorite. However, today was really disappointing. I ordered my usual bowl to go, and when I got home, I found several pieces of steak mixed in with the mushrooms. As a vegetarian, finding large pieces of meat in my meal was very off-putting. This experience won't stop me from coming back, but I do want to urge the team to be more careful when preparing and packaging orders--especially when it comes to dietary preferences. Please double- or triple-check orders to make sure they're accurate. I'm hoping this was just a one-time mistake, because I really do enjoy the food here. read more

We stopped by taco deli a few weekends ago when we were out at a neighborhood garage sale. It was exactly what we needed - a quick break with good food and drinks - to revive us for more shopping! We had a variety of breakfast tacos and they were all good and I tried the new melon drink and I thought it was excellent. They were pretty crowded but the line moved fast and our food was ready in no time. I haven't been to a taco deli that I didn't like! This one is plenty big and there's plenty of parking. read more

Tacodeli - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

I always love Taco Deli! The staff are always so nice. The service is always so fast. I always get breakfast tacos. Our favorites are the bacon/egg/cheese and steak/egg/cheese. They also have really good queso. We split a small between the two of us. My husband also likes their salads. They serve Cuvee coffee (they even have a Tacodeli Blend!) which is one of my favorites! Tacodeli is always a great place no matter what time of day it is! read more

Wheelchair accessible automatic sliding doors!! Sorry had to get that out there as it's a rare find. You enter into a hipster pop art world once you come inside Tacodeli. Came in on my lunch break to get away from the work day. Not ideal for those that are limited to 30 minute lunch breaks, but well worth the while for an hour long venture. Onto the food! For those that like heat and flavor-the Dona is a spicy creamy salsa, my personal favorite. No picture of the Burracho Carnitas taco. As it was so delicious that I couldn't resist. I had to wait a bit for my order so I was hungry. The cowboy is was my second favorite, a beefy avocadoy goodness. Frontega Chicken was good, but not a rave worthy as the first two. I'd definitely comeback for the beef and pork tacos! read more

Always a good time here!! Food: Yum! Made in under 5 minutes! Service: Quick! Friendly! The staff was very nice. Even with a scary dog outside, they did not drop the food. Whew! Ambiance: South Austin chill vibes with lots of families in the morning and several people sitting by themselves! read more

Tacodeli - Jess Special - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

The special of the moment taco was the Mojo Risin' Chicken Taco and decided to order it. The chicken was so tasty with strong Mexican flavor that was very tasty. The flour taco was made with avocado oil and it self had a nice unique taste. This was a limited menu option but will truly miss it when it goes away. read more

Something changed recently at this location. 20-25+ minute wait has become standard order, even when the restaurant seems relatively slow. The tacos are good, but not worth the incredible wait. They are also quite pricey for what they are. Last 3 visits we've waited almost half an hour for a couple of tacos. read more

I love this place and there warms my heart yummy tacos! They make the best tacos in Texas! Try this place! Let me know you stopped by! There sauces are tangy and nice! read more

Tacodeli - This is there potato egg and cheese - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Never again there. Wanted to have my kids try a new type of restaurant/food... Service was long, seen other customers arrived later and served earlier... $5.8 taco price was increased by $1.75 because of guacamole, while menu says it has it included. Then meat was awful, full of nerves for all of us, the type that makes you throw up! Not good... read more

I've given this Tacodeli so many chances. The food is always what you'd expect from Tacodeli--solid, reliable--but the service is consistently slow, no matter the time of day. I don't have complicated orders. I order right off the menu and always allow plenty of time. Sometimes it's busy, sometimes it's quiet. Doesn't matter--I end up waiting way longer than I should. Today, for example, we ordered a single taco and two fountain drinks. My kid grabbed two of the premade tacos from the window (those were ready immediately). In the time it took him to spill his drink, have me clean it up, refill it, and finish both of his tacos, I was still waiting on my one taco. I went up after about 10 minutes--they said it would be brought out. Waited again. After another 10 minutes, I checked again and magically, it was suddenly ready. They handed me another free taco card, which honestly happens almost every time I come here. At this point, it feels like a "sorry" on repeat--like they know the experience isn't great, but hope a free taco makes up for it. It doesn't anymore. I live nearby, and I want to like this place. But the delays are constant, and it's frustrating to feel like the default experience is being forgotten unless you ask twice. read more

My first visit back in a month...How is this possible.... Both coffees out again. And the cream. And then they get my order wrong. Food and trash and spills on the floor. Trash can overflowing. And flies everywhere. What's going on??? On a positive note, the food came out fast, hot and great. But management needs to dial in some things fast before you lose customers. And there's only 4 tables full here. And it's not even 1030 on a Sunday morning. You may wanna hurry. read more

First time at this location but always stop at a taco deli when time for breakfast short, generally they are pretty quick What I liked: Always get the Jess breakfast tacos which always has generous amount off scrambled egg and avocado. Today I tried the Ginger soda which was excellent. For sure will be getting it again as it's super loaded with Ginger and has a good bite to it and stayed bubbly even over ice Also nice they offer several types of tortillas as I'm GF so go with corn What I wished they did: The cheese is always hard and cold on top of tacos. So if they put it on tortilla first it would be better and not fall and crumble out. I feel like quality of cheese particularly the texture has gone down hill. What I disliked at this location: A staff member (on break or before their shift) was loudly playing videos so we moved to other side of restaurant and he could see people were irritated and cared not. In addition customers are expected to bus their tables which we always do without issue and it's nice they have bins for trash recycled items . The employee who was playing loud videos just left garbage all over his table... WTH ‍ read more

Worth the wait. Best ambiance of any TacoDeli location in Austin and I absolutely love the Saturday brunch family vibe. I also like not rushing and relaxing during the wait. Pro-tip for those who think portions are too small: add mashed potatoes to the frontera fundido chicken. They just make everything better. Pro-tip for those who are hungry and hate waiting: load up on the appetizers. Their queso and guac game is strong. There's nothing I don't love here, but I usually prefer frontera chicken on corn with sopa de pollo. Restaurant is a heck of a lot cleaner than Veracruz and hasn't sold out like Torchy's overly corporate. read more

Tacodeli - Frontera Fundido Chicken and Sopa De Pollo - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Did the queso get runnier? How is this possible? Has the guacamole always been this spicy? Ordered for a small gathering and shoot the backlash was hilarious. I've never really noticed the spice but the kiddos and their parents sure did. The queso was for the most part closer to room temp at this point than hot but still an absolute nightmare to enjoy for how runny it was. Yea it's always been this way, I know, but holy guacamole is this a cost cutting measure at this point? Absolutely insulting to serve such queso in Austin, Texas with all of the other great options! Wow has taco deli gone down hill and it's not just my opinion--everybody, and especially this location, has had similar experiences based on what they once ordered regularly without thinking twice. Migas taste like the oil/griddle. Is the bacon raw? Why not always peel the shrimp besides just gipping one on the quantity served? The feedback from friends confirmed it just wasn't our bad luck. Sad what has come of taco deli, and with this nice and on the larger size location. Something gotta change! read more

Waited 30 minutes for 3 tacos... fucking seriously? (And there was almost no other customers). They had at least 6 teenagers as staff standing by the register talking it up, dirty tables everywhere and flies all around the restaurant. All the tables were dirty and we had to clean one off to find a place to sit. Once we got our food we got like 4 small shrimp in the tacos, despite the heavy price tag ... horrible experience never coming back. Do yourself a favor and don't come to this location, I am surprised they are not closed down already... The one thing I regret the most other than making a decision to come here, is tipping them 20% for doing absolutely nothing. Waste of money and time I will never get back. read more

Tacodeli - El Shrimposito - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

The whole crew at Shodymedia.com loves Taco Deli! We especially appreciate Brian Bush at Rosedale Location!

I love that taco deli is in my neighborhood. I am writing mainly to give a shout out to Hayden who took my order. I ordered a taco for myself and then told him that it was my dog's bday He said he could order me up the sirloin taco without the tortilla etc. She loved every bite! Thanks for great customer service Hayden! read more

This is now my go-to breakfast taco place in Austin. They have a vegan taco (the freakin' vegan) that is hard to beat. It is so tasty and so delicious. The tortilla is what makes it better than other places. They also have good coffee and really nice salsa options. My only complaint is the wait for food as it can be a while or something even as simple as two or three tacos be prepared to wait patiently for food whether you ordered online or even in person. The restaurant itself is nice with lots of great outdoor seating. read more

Behold... the sirloin taco. I cried (and died) a little. I shall rename him, "sir egg taco, weak in the loins." I normally dig taco deli, but this location is a prime case study in quality control gone wrong. read more

Tacodeli - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

When I moved here almost a year ago, I had a mental image of many things Texas. 10-gallon hats, the Texas 2step, BBQ, everything is bigger, Nolan Ryan, & of course, TexMex. That said, I'm a sucker for tacos & more specifically Mexican street tacos as my travels have influenced my taste buds to crave them above all else. So, when I saw on Instagram this joint called Tacodeli open up to good reviews, well it's time for me to step up to the plate. Now I'm not sure if Tacodeli on W. Slaughter is a new or old restaurant but there were a lot of people there on a Saturday at 11am! The line was stretched 10 deep, outside the door & the line was moving at the pace I-35 traffic out of Austin at 5pm. The interior is well kept, clean, tons of tables & inviting while the people are from all backgrounds. All were fairly enjoyable as I tried to carry a conversation w/ a select few except for the mute family as I don't know sign language other than when you cut me off in traffic, I know the one finger response for that. That said, does one consider Tacodeli a fast food establishment as there isn't a drive thru or a fine dining establishment as many of the amenities were missing? Perhaps they're trailblazing a new piece in the F&B hierarchy. Either way the service slower than a baseball game in the middle of the summer. Forewarning, have some tacos choices & backups in mind. After being in line from 11:15am until 12:25 (yes I timed it) I finally conquered the line & was ready to order. "I would like a Sarbosita Barbacoa please &..." when I was cut off saying they were out. Ok... give me a Frontera Fundido & a Cowboy. Next I'd like a "Happy Taco &" ... sorry we're out of that was mentioned again. Ok 2 out of my 5 tacos they were out of at 12:30. Sheesh. I'm not sure how they can be out of so many food options this early unless they didn't receive a shipment or didn't realize such a rush of people. Either way I'm just reporting it. First eating the appetizers was like watching a baseball player get to base on a bunt rather than a hit out of the infield. It classifies as a hit or in the case food, but does little than its most basic intent to feed or put a man on base. It starts w/ chips that come in their own sealed plastic bag. I rather enjoyed this but it also means the chips aren't made to order. The salsa verde was very good & slightly tangy w/ a hint of heat. Not bad & better than the queso. The queso was ok but it was void of much flavor rather something basic w/ nothing memorable as was the guac. In other words, the apps were better than fast food but not restaurant quality, much like attending a "AA" ballgame. Not the big leagues but not the single A leagues. Lets now focus on the tacos I ordered. The Shrimposito was decent but something I wouldn't order there again. The shrimp were cooked correctly but the spices overwhelmed (I couldn't taste the sesame) & no other flavors showed up to play in the game. Next the Puerco verde was good. I could taste the onion & cilantro even as the salsa was pretty bold as well. The pork was cooked to perfection on a corn tortilla. Next the pollo en mole which I must say was better than I expected. In case people don't know a good mole, & I don't dare say traditional as mole can have over 30 ingredients & many central American countries/regions make it wildly different, is labor intensive. The shredded chicken had a good mole bite but I would have preferred the mole take center stage as the queso muted the power hitter behind the plate. I would say it was a double to centerfield. The Cowboy was a solid hit in my mouth. Off the bat the grilled corn & roasted peppers offer a nice contrast & the caramelized onions offer a cooling affect w/ the cubes of tenderloin being the meat that tied it together. Finally, the Grontera Fundo was a good taco. The onions were the most pronounced as they were barely cooked so there were long strands of crunchy to stack up against a chewy beef experience on a flour taco. I hate to admit it but there was a lot of gristle so it wasn't my cup of gatoraide. All in all, I would say the experience was like going to a baseball game. At first, you're excited to try it all & the whole experience overwhelms you but... & this is a big but, at the end you just want it to end. You have had fun & realized it might not have been the investment in time, finances & effort put forth. While I would say the tacos weren't bad I could have gone somewhere else, had better Tacos for the same price in half the time. If the wait wasn't so long I would consider this before say.... some other "chains" but not a more reputable establishment. A solid double if it weren't for the lines. In summary, give it a whirl if you know there won't be lines but level set your expectations. read more

Food was delicious, service was fast, and atmosphere was chill. Overall 5 stars, would recommend.

I am a huge fan of Tacodeli and was super excited when this one opened. Yes, like many of the reviews I feel like they had a rough go at it for a while but do feel it's improved alot. Still has a way to go - I've had to wait a while and such. But I love tacodeli and I'm hoping this location continues to work on excellence. read more

Excellent tacos and amazing to-go margaritas! I loved the margaritas, incredible drinks. I tried the brisket taco, the chicken taco and the pork taco. All were yummy, even though I prefer no onions and they didn't have a way to customize them. We did take out and ate at home so the margaritas to-go was pretty perfect. read more

Tacodeli - Pork Taco - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Tacodeli has great food. Tacodeli Circle C has problems getting the orders correct and this is a longstanding issue. And it does not matter if you order online or in person. When ordering through the app you are given times available for pickup. Tacodeli Circle C is rarely on time. I have spoken with other customers and we may wait up to 30 minutes. When I asked the staff what the problem was I was told it was their "new" ordering system. And they could not adjust it. Why?? You are a service company. If your new system does not work and causes issues for your paying customers why not get a better system. I went into the Circle C location and ordered a salad with chicken to go. I got home and no chicken that I had paid for. When I went back to get a refund the woman that helped me, I assume a manager, was ..... cranky and not pleasant to deal with. If you are in Circle C I suggest you go to Torchy's. It's not far away. The food is not as good but my order is almost always correct. And when we order through the app the order is on time or a bit early. While I like Tacodeli food I cannot continue to do with business with Tacodeli Circle C. We placed an order through the app for the Spyglass location. The order was correct and it was ready at the time we selected. We have ordered in person at this location and the order is correct. I have options on where to eat and how I spend my money. Sadly, Tacodeli in Circle C isn't a viable choice anymore. read more

I'm quite happy that we got a Tacodeli location in Circle C, and I do my part to keep them in business. My vegetarian favorites on their menu are the Papadulce and the Freakin Vegan; my wife likes the Heather as well. Their dona sauce and the roja are always a hit with me. Even the queso is good, and I'm not really a queso person. What's not to like? read more

Food is great. Exactly the quality you expect from a Tacodeli. Still one of my favorite taco spots. But maybe it's just sentimental at this point. Of all the locations in Austin I have had the worst experience with getting the correct order or general customer service. No idea what's up. read more

Food is real good. I love their tacos. The place is nice and clean. However they have made some annoying mistakes in 3 times out of 4 that I've been there. Today I provided some instructions of how I wanted to get my tacos in different bags to go. They served me the tacos to eat there. Then I told the waiter I wanted them to go so he gave me everything mixed up in one bag. One time before was the other way around, I ordered to eat there and they gave me my tacos to go. And one another time they missed one taco from my order. So, even when the food is good their service and ability to listen/understand what the customer is asking for is lackluster at best. Probably not coming back after so many fumbles. read more

The guacamole heee is what dreams are made of. I go here at least once a week to feed the addiction.

Friendly staff and yummy breakfast tacos! My favorite taco is the Vegan! Love the vibe too.

I agree with earlier comments that the tacos are small. But they are good! I had the pork belly and the chicken fundido. Both excellent. I love that you can request flour or corn tortillas. Overall a good experience. Loved sitting outside on a beautiful day! The servers were great and food came out fast. read more

The food is great and at a good price. The service is getting better and more friendly too.

My go-to spot during the week... heheh. Their chicken, beef, soup and bowls are to DIE FORRR!! You can stay and eat, or even bring your laptop if you WFH and stay just for a little while. Come for breakfast, lunch or dinner honestly. Or all three honestly? Love the staff for always being so kind and generous - Special shoutout to Lorenzo for always being very so kind and helpful! read more

I've loved Taco Deli since the early days at the Spyglass location and have had a great experience at the Circle C location. The manager, Tyler, goes above and beyond here and makes the customer experience amazing. Recently the corporate folks changed the recipe for my beloved salsa roja and after I expressed my concerns to Tyler, he was able to turn that feedback into changes to the roja that totally turned it around. Killer tacos, killer service. read more

I'm not sure what is with all the low reviews because I haven't had one bad experience here! Having a TD within 10 minutes of my house has been a dream come true--I go here at least once a week, if not more. I usually order takeout on their app and have never had an issue with anything. I super appreciate there is a place to mark for allergies as I have a gluten and dairy allergy, so I feel reassured I won't get sick here. Also the app collects rewards so I recommend it! I have also eaten inside and outside and it was still a great experience! Food is fresh and made with quality ingredients--I love the fact that I don't have to worry about where they get their ingredients from and what the quality is. Additionally the service has always been wonderful. Every person I've interacted with has always been super kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Something I notice is when I am waiting for a pickup order that isn't ready yet, they always go check on it and see if it's almost ready for you. Some of my favorites: the Otto (no cheese, on corn) and the Freakin Vegan on Corn. Their chorizo is also delicious. And I like to get the Blue Plate for lunch or dinner--pick two tacos and it comes with a side of rice and beans. I love the Pollo Fantastico (no crema) and Mexico city chicken with white rice and refried beans. It's all sooo good. All around, I absolutely love Tacodeli and this location is no exception. One of my favorite spots ever! read more

Not their best location by any means but any taco deli is good. The biggest miss from a food standpoint is that their tortillas don't feel like it's fully cooked and just doesn't taste the same. But the ingredients otherwise and flavors are spot on. They need to work out some kinks in ordering as the wait time can be absurd. Their online estimate can also be way off. It once said 40min until our to go order was ready but turned out to be closer to 20min read more
