5 stars Deli Tacos is a solid spot if you're looking for quick, good Mexican food. The customer service was really friendly, and my food came out fast, which I always appreciate. I tried the cowboy taco and a simple bean and cheese taco--both were really good. The flavors were solid across the board, and for a fast food-style place, the quality was definitely above average. One thing that stood out was the black beans--they're a subtle change from what you usually get, but surprisingly really good. I also got chips and queso to start, which were pretty basic but still hit the spot. You really can't go wrong with that combo. Total came out to $15.70, which felt fair for the quality and portion size. It's a very chill, no-frills kind of restaurant--nothing flashy, just a reliable place to grab a good meal. Overall, I'd rate it 5 stars for service and you get exactly what you would expect from a restaurant like this! I'd definitely come back. read more

I ordered two tacos that were both supposed to have a jack cheese glaze. The glaze was non existent. The chicken one ate very dry. I've had these both before and they've been gooey/creamy and delicious. Today's order was a let down. For the price point I would expect to receive what is described. Akaushi Picadillo On Flour, Dona (Hot) $5.75 Frontera Fundido Chicken On Flour, Dona (Hot) $5.25 read more

No complaints about this place other than the price like many others. I drive by this a couple times a week and first time going only because I had a coupon. I must say they are excellent in customer satisfaction. I asked for bean and cheese taco but wanted extra cheese and one extra crispy. Came out just how i like it. Gonna throw my own avocado and home made salsa at home and enjoy a tasty BF treat. read more

Tacodeli - Bean and cheese taco with extra cheese. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Tacodeli is a good place to go for tacos. Great breakfast tacos. Like that Tacodeli has a breakfast tacos station for grab and go. Especially when you are heading to your next destination. Prices are reasonable. Menu has something for everyone. The staff is friendly. Parking is not bad. Seating inside or outside. Depending on the weather or where you want to sit. read more

My sister and I ordered breakfast tacos. Steak l, egg, and cheese and the other bacon, egg, and cheese. The taste was as good as we remembered it! She was hospitalized but was granted permission to eat outside. This was her first choice! Thank you for fast, great food and service read more

This place always hits. I got a papadulce (my fav) and a pollo fantástico, both were great! I also got a mix of the lemonade and sandia Fresca, it was delicious! Service was great as always, and I enjoyed sitting on their outdoor patio at sunset. A classic and reliable place! read more

Tacodeli - Papadulce Pollo Fantastico - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came in at 6:45 on a Wednesday morning. Ordered 6 breakfast tacos. Employees were nice, but nobody apologized, gave me a heads up, or even acknowledged that I waited 20 min for 6 tacos with nobody else in the store. They were more worried about making their to go tacos then making my order. Why spend :20 min when I can drive 5 min in every direction and get same or better. Will not be back. read more

I've probably been here 1000 times and it's always great. Food is the main reason I say so--high quality ingredients, large menu, tons of healthy options--but the staff is very nice and friendly as well. read more

It has been a while since I've been to Tacodeli. Today, I decided to give it a whirl. You have a choice between premade tacos and ones custom ordered. Of course, I thought I would try a custom taco of potato, avocado and sausage. The taco was was made with a running mashed potato mixture which made all the ingredients fall out of the taco shell. It had to be worst taco I've eaten in a very long time. Growing up in San Antonio where tacos are supreme, this was a very disappointing taco experience. Likely will not be returning to Tacodeli any time soon... read more

Ordered To-go and had everything except my iced coffee ready to go. Sometimes I prefer to have my drinks prepared before I arrive due to having issues with not receiving the drinks, but they remembered thankfully! I feel the prices are a little steep.. a bean and cheese taco is $4.20! I added a medium side of beans ($3.55) and a side of cheese ($1.80) for about the same cost of one taco so I can make more at home instead of paying $4.20 for each individual taco. I mean come on.. $1.80 for a small container of cheese?! The beans and cheese taco was great - love black refried beans The Mexico City chicken taco was ok - the chicken was rubbery (the way it gets when you freeze it and thaw it sometimes) The queso is amazing! - not like the fake cheesy stuff you get at taco cabana The chips were pre-bagged and I actually love that because it ensures freshness and allows us to enjoy them longer. No more stale chips! Id say 4/5 but most likely will not be ordering so much again due to the price and quality of food. read more

Food was great. My son who is currently in hospital around the corner asked for bean and cheese tacos so I had to oblige. It's the only thing he's wanted to eat in 4 days. I ordered online for store pickup and it was smooth. Got to the Rosedale location and the person handling the food was very personable and engaging! Thanks for making an anxious time a little less overwhelming. read more

Came here the day after X-Mas. Last visited: Dec' 23. Ordered: - CHILE EN NOGADA -- Special for X-mas. Pork with pomegranate seeds. Choice with whole wheat taco (healthy option). - COWBOY -- Beef. Choice on corn tortilla (healthy option, gluten free) And a cup for water. Enjoyed the CHILE EN NOGADA taco more. Pomegranate is one of my favorites. Ground pork went will with it too. COWBOY was ok, but steak pieces not to my liking. It was passable. Overall, decent food here especially when running on empty stomach after a short hike. Will rate 3.5/5 stars, and further it was great they are open on the 26th which is holiday for most spots. read more

Stopped by the Tacodeli location on Lamar when the area recently at dinner time. We've moved out of the city, so it's a treat we don't enjoy often. We've been huge fans of Tacodeli for years. The tacos and queso are OUTSTANDING! IMHO... LOL The ingredients are always fresh, the salsas are very good as well. The Lamar location has plenty of outdoor seating too, to be enjoyed almost year-round here. So glad they've expanded their hours to cover dinner as well! Highly recommend Tacodeli any time of day! read more

Tacodeli!!! $10 for a jelly fish in a can??!! Have y'all lost your minds? Even if you paid the $18 bucks / 4 pack retail that's over markup. At a taco joint!! read more

Tacodeli is our go-to lunch spot on weekends! The food is fabulous and the service is friendly.

Solid place for your tacos fix. I am not Hispanic nor did I grow up eating tacos or Mexican food. I have little knowledge of what authentic tacos are like but I got a feeling its not what this place serves. It doesnt mean the tacos are bad though. I tried the shrimp and pork shoulder tacos - both are decent sized, very saucy and well seasoned. The pork one has a good amount of grease to it. My bf got the beef, pork belly and salmon and he didnt love his salmon. the fish pieces were falling apart and not firm enough. The salmon taco was also super greasy. Horchata is tasty and not overly sweet. They have outdoor seating too which is nice on a cool day/night. The woman who served us was super nice and friendly, the other staffs were very kind too. Overall nice experience read more

Great salmon tacos and extra nice people who work there!!! Vegetarian tacos are good too.

Love it!! It's my 4th time in this location and it's so cozy and welcoming even with some limited spacing, but enough for a small party size! Staff was great and efficient! read more

Workers are always immature teenage boys and the wait time is always a chore but the food is decent.

This location has the best customer service. No matter how busy it is, everyone always seems eager to help customers have the best experience. That's hard to find these days! Even the little things like bagging up your "grab and go" tacos along with adding salsa to the bag for you. Not every location does this and I really appreciated it this morning! read more

My team eats here a lot. I order on the way into work somedays. The app is easy to use and the orders are done right. Fast and friendly is easy to say but it seems to be less common other places. Tacodeli get it right. read more

I'm a little disappointed by the general quality of these tacos. I ordered the drunken pork taco (non-breakfast style) and the pork belly tacos. They seemed a little sloppily made, as the pork belly was not even centered in my tortilla - it was completely flopping to one side. The pork belly was well cooked but did not have any additional flavors. I felt like the tortilla added a lot of blandness and detracted from the pork belly. As for the pork taco, again not much flavor and had an unbalanced amount of raw onions. My whole tray in general had a layer of raw onions just sitting around the tacos. Pretty disappointing, even though I like the interior and patio area around this location. The tacos were just not filling and tasty at all. Just a couple other small things: The parking lots are a little tough to navigate as you cannot drive between the different lots. The lot right in front was surprisingly full even though there was no other customers inside the restaurant. They also did not accept apply pay/ card tap to pay, which I feel like most restaurants should do nowadays. Slight inconvenience if you are a frequent apply pay user. read more

Tacodeli - The sizes of the tacos! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Visiting Austin, TX for the first time, I learned that breakfast tacos (corn or flour tortillas stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese, meat, sautéed veggies) are iconic to Texas as Mickey Mouse is to Disneyland. In fact, its 85th Legislature designated the breakfast taco as its official state breakfast item of TX. It is of no wonder that the birthplace of breakfast tacos is Austin. Opened on 11/8/99 in Austin, TX, Tacodeli serves creative, handcrafted tacos that are made fresh daily from locally sourced ingredients from local farmers, ranchers, and fishermen. Co-owners Roberto Espinsosa and Eric Wilkerson were college buddies at the University of TX, with Roberto being born and growing up in Mexico City and bringing his Mexican taco heritage to TX, and Eric having some restaurant consulting experience. Tacodeli is unique to Texas and has 12 locations: Austin (7), Dallas (2), Plano (2), Houston (1). They also participate in local farmers' markets. Tacodeli has an extensive menu of tacos that you can mix and match with any meat, veggies, eggs, cheeses, etc. They use high quality ingredients sourced from local growers. Their sauces are all housemade. Daily specials are offered, and the menu changes periodically with new items added and existing items deleted. We came for a take-out order for breakfast and were amazed at the huge variety of menu items. Breakfast includes and are not limited to: * The Otto: refried black beans, double bacon, avocado, jack cheese. * Barbacoa Madruguera: braised beef cheek, eggs, salsa, green onion. * Akaushi Picadillo & eggs: ground beef, eggs, jack cheese, salsa, cilantro. * Sirloin, eggs & cheese. * Migas taco: scrambled eggs, tomato, onion, jalapeno, tortilla chips, jack cheese. * Jess Special: migas, jack cheese, avocado. * Fundido: chicken or sirloin, jack cheese, peppers, onions. * Vaquero: scrambled eggs, grilled corn, roasted peppers, jack cheese. * Bacon, egg, & cheese. * Chorizo, egg & cheese. * Sausage, egg & cheese * Bean & cheese. * Vegan: refried black beans, avocado, pico de gallo. * Build your own: mix and match ingredients. The lunch and dinner menu is no slouch either, as it includes: * Chicken tacos: mix & match w/ roasted green chile sauce, green onion, cheese glazes, cilantro, mushrooms, housemade mole, queso fresco. * Beef tacos: mix & match w/ grilled corn, onions, peppers, guacamole, cheese glazes, avocado, cilantro, salsa. * Pork tacos: mix & match w/ salsa, cilantro, onions, avocado. * Vegetarian tacos: mix & match w/ queso fresco, refried black beans, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, portobella mushrooms, cheese glazes, cauliflower, grilled corn, onion, roasted peppers, sweet potato. * Seafood tacos: salmon, shrimp w/ various sauces, guacamole, pico, avocado, cheese glaze. * Various salads: mix & match with romaine, guacamole, avocado, sour cream, pico, jack cheese, onion, tomato, queso fresco, bell pepper, rice & beans, chicken, sirloin, salmon, picadillo, Puerco verde. * Soup: housemade chicken broth, chicken, tomato, jalapeno, tortilla chips, avocado, cilantro, onion. * Appetizers: street corn w/ diced red onion, queso fresco, cilantro, bacon bits; tortilla chips w/ queso, guacamole, pico, ground beef, salsa. For breakfast, Hubby and I ordered the Migas and the Jess Special with the soft corn tortilla. The fillings in the tacos were very generous, with lots of fluffy scrambled eggs, tomato, onion, jalapeno, bits of tortilla chips, jack cheese, and avocado. The tacos were freshly made, warm, and tasty. These breakfast tacos are fresh, delicious, creative, and healthy and are not the typical Tex-Mex tacos at Taco Bell, which we have in HI. While waiting for our order, we were impressed with the self-service station of Tacodeli's four housemade sauces: * Salsa verde: green and mild * Roja: red, smoky flavor, medium heat * Dona: the hottest, award winning with jalapeno and garlic, green in color. * Habanero: the hottest You can take all four sauces if you want to match your preference of heat and flavor. Also impressed with the variety of drinks: tequila, beer, Kombucha tea, soft drinks. Staff are friendly, patient, smiling and welcoming. We were overwhelmed with the number of choices, and staff answered all our questions. It was fairly busy on a weekday morning, but heard that long lines form on the weekends and is a popular dining spot. Order online to avoid the lines. Hours are weekdays 7a to 9p, breakfast 7a to 11a; Sat/Sun 8a to 9p, breakfast 8a to 3p. Sign up for their loyalty program to earn free tacos. The spacious restaurant has tables/chairs inside and outside if you want to dine in. I loved the wooden laminated tables of colorful Mexican artwork. Free parking in their private lot. I'm glad that we got to experience this Austin staple! We enjoyed Tacodeli for its high quality of food, local sourcing, attention to detail, freshness, and the many creative menu choices! A great place for locals and visitors! read more

Saw some good reviews for Taco Deli, so decided to give it a try. While, I do prefer finding small non chain taco places I am really glad we tried them. We all got different tacos and each one of us argued that ours were the best. My all time favorite is the papadulce - loaded with roasted sweet potato, grilled corn, roasted peppers, onion, pepitas, with a delicious sauce. Another vegetarian one I would recommend is the Heather - grilled queso fresco, beans, and guac! Perfect! Can't go wrong with pork belly or any of the sirloin tacos. The rice and beans weren't anything special. Rather have an extra taco instead! While the prices may be higher you are getting a seriously quality taco here! So much flavor and freshness. Service was also fast and professional. Can't wait to come back for more!! read more

Saw this place as I was headed to Central Market in Austin. Superior tacos! Hot, fresh & made to order! I had the migas taco, porkbelly deli, and the mexico city sirloin. All were amazing! Especially the delibelly. It had a honey tomatillo-serrano salsa, that gave a sweetness to each bite. Really tasty! Customer service was pretty good, and the food came fast & was hot. I'll be back to try some other tacos! read more

As a long time Tacodeli fan, the other day would be my last. I have been frequenting Tacodeli for over 10+ years now and I am so disheartened they would betray me. I go here at least a couple times a week, on my way to work to grab some tacos to-go. I saw a couple of days ago they had gotten some new wrappers on the to-go tacos, no biggie right. That's where I would be wrong. These are an absolute NIGHTMARE to try and pry open. I tried to give these new wrappers a chance, but they are essentially child locked. Further than child locked. It is impossible to NOT destroy the entire taco while trying to pry these horrible things open. My wife, who is good at everything, can't even open these. They have exploded in my car multiple times because of how downright AWFUL these wrappers are. The ONLY time that the taco has stayed intact in these, was CUTTING OPEN THE WRAPPER WITH SCISSORS............. Not to mention, they taste completely different. These are NOT the same as the original to-go tacos. I usually get a BEC and PEC, the eggs taste like chlorine on both and the bacon is burnt so bad it's black. The tortillas are soggy, the potatoes are not up to their usual standard, and all around just gross. And the cherry on top- the taco simultaneously gets stuck to the wrapper so it's just falling apart in your hands. I could go on and on about how horrible these new wrappers are. I will unfortunately NEVER come back to Tacodeli after being a long time customer and will let my friends know to do the same. Please go back to the original delicious to-go tacos you've kept the same for years. ~Sincerely, Devastated Devin read more

Good breakfast tacos. Seriously, this used to be an Austin institution, and in many ways it still is. That said, nowadays one gets the sensation that they're kinda coasting. Oh yeah, the Dona sauce is still amazeballs, but the tacos, well, you can get better. Oh, it isn't *bad*, it's just that you can get better... read more

TACODELI always has the most delicious breakfast tacos!! I am a big fan of the mashed potatoes.

My go-to place for tacos. I get the blue plate special-- two tacos with the excellent black refried beans and rice. Plenty of Dona and habanero sauce. It's the right amount of food for me and not so heavy that I don't feel like getting back to work. Drawbacks are that it's a little pricier than I'd like, but they do use high quality, local ingredients. Wait times can be a little long. I eat there weekly and haven't had a bad experience. (Also, I like the mashed potatoes on the breakfast tacos.) read more

Eating tacodeli for a while now. I had previously complained about the pricing but now that prices everywhere has gone up, including wack joints... these prices do not feel like robbery anymore. The breakfast tacos are the best taste wise- can't go wrong with Jess special, vaquero or Migas taco. Dona sauce makes everything awesome. No other place so far beats this sauce. Their normal lunch tacos are okay and have dropped off from my top tier list. And I always leave hungry even after 2 tacos from here. Currently there's a limited time special of Short Rib Birria. It comes with consomme. It was so tasty, can't wait to try it again before it's taken out of rotation. Service is not good at all but take out orders have been fine, they have a separate door to quickly grab and go. Quickly...if you can find parking that is. read more
