Absolutely coming back to this joint beside an old car wash! It's literally in a neighborhood and man, am I jealous of those residents! I wish I had this place just down the street! My colleague and I tried their California Burrito and those suckers were massive! They had lots of carbs so you've been warned. Tortilla, rice, fries, and some avocado, with just a little meat. It was good but to be honest, I felt a bit shorted on the meat. Despite that, I'm coming back soon to try their slew of other dishes from their menu. Service was friendly and they always made sure to promptly bus their tables. Pretty clean for an outdoor-ish, partially enclosed dining spot. By the way, their sauces were oh so good. read more

Have a Spec-Taco-lar Day Highlights: *Aguas Frescas *Salsas *Street Mini Tacos Review: These street tacos might be mini but they're flavorful, filling and probably best two bites you'll ever have. I got the tacos campechanos which comes with chorizo, al pastor and grilled chicken. The flavor profile is crazy, you get the smokiness from the al pastor, the savory fattiness from the chorizo and the charred saltiness from the grilled chicken. Add some drops of lime and any of their 3 salsas for a fully satisfying bite. Can't wait to go back to try their tortas, quesadillas and gorditas. Rating: 10/10 Mini Tacos (7) Campechanos- Chorizo, Al pastor and grilled chicken. https://www.facebook.com/OnceUponATac0/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CNjBltBns7M/?igshid=z8g6r5vzkd11 read more

Quick lunch access location. I did not find a parking lot, so I ended up park around the neighborhood and walked to the food truck. There are about 2-3 people in front of me, and they are really fast with cooking! I only had to wait about 10 mins before I can order and then get my food in about 2-3 minutes. I ordered the mini taco plate, and it's a huge portion of 7 mini tacos. You can choose two different meat, and I chose pastor and andada. You cannot choose barbacoa since it's a mini taco plate. The only drawback is I think it can be a bit more salty, so I added additional salt to my taco. The green sauce is delicious and the red sauce is Smokey and spicy. Overall, good place for a quick lunch. Good amount of food! read more

Decent food truck located on 53rd street. This place has decent parking and food comes out pretty quick. If you work or live around here you probably frequent it often. Side note, this part of Austin feels like it's stuck in time and development hasn't really touched this street yet. Definitely an old Austin feel on 53rd. I got the carne asada plate which was tasty but I wish they would've used a different cut of beef it was really thin and made me wishing there was more to it. My brother got the gringa, which was tasty, but pretty pricey (I don't think it's worth the price). The best thing was the Torta. If I lived here I'd probably go more often and try to find the best thing on their menu. This place is ok. read more

Listen, the folks working there are SUPER nice. The little seating is festive & inviting. But all the hospitality and smiles in this world cannot mask that these are average, at best, tacos. We've stopped by a few times both for breakfast as well as lunch tacos so don't think this is a "bad day" situation. The bacon egg & cheese taco was tiny with very little eggs & bacon but a ton of cheese. The chicken fajita taco was extremely greasy and lacked any coherent seasoning or flavor. Overall, it's an adorable food truck that's super convenient (at least for me) but there's at least 5 other taco joints near by that I'm willing to get into my car and drive further for. Disappointing about sums it up. read more

We were just driving by really hungry and found this highly rated taco food truck, but were soooo disappointed! The seating area is actually really nice & cute for food truck seating, but the food was reaaaaally lacking flavor and a little over priced for food truck food! What we ordered and don't recommend: - Barbacoa Tacos: everyone in the reviews raved about this and honestly it was the WORST one we got! There was really NOOOO taste ... unless I got the wrong memo and should be adding my own salt and sauces, this really was not enjoyable! - Asada Tacos & Pastor Tacos were a bit more flavored than the barbacoa, but were still far from any decent taco I've had before. - Torta de la casa: again the flavor was not there, and it was a tad dry. We got the green and red salsa but it really didn't do the tacos not torta much justice. All I can say is eat at your own risk... read more

I would honestly consider moving to Austin just to be closer to Tacos Yo Soy. Wow, just wow! I think the best thing I ate my entire trip was the barbacoa taco from this modest taco truck. The chicken tinga was also so delicious, but it's a week later and I'm still thinking about the dang barbacoa. Tacos Yo So serves their tacos with a couple options of salsa, one green, one red. Both delicious. I ordered my tacos on flour tortillas, and I savored every single bite for so long the tortillas got super soggy, but who cares. Still delicious. I topped it all off with a Mexican Coke (1L). Ugh what a meal! read more

I went here probably a few weeks ago and had some really amazing breakfast tacos from them. They were really cheap and done really fast which mattered to me because I was in a rush to go to work when I visited them. They have a huge menu. For now it's a 5 star :). Also they have Chinese food there too but for some reason they call the Chinese food there by the name of another restaurant "dragon shack". I think maybe it's because 2 people were there running the truck but each their own food separately maybe? Edit: I had the torta there too and I absolutely loved it too. So cheap and I'm happy to have them close to my home read more

Delicious tacos only $2.50 each, tasty tamales, excellent service. I recommend the barbacoa: tender, slow cooked beef that will melt in your mouth, topped with fresh cilantro. read more

Tacos Yo Soy - Combination of pastor and barbacoa tacos - Mexican Near Me - Smithville, Texas

Decided to try Tacos Yo Soy Saturday morning and it did not disappoint. I ordered 2 barbacoa tacos and an egg and potato breakfast taco. The barbacoa came with a corn tortilla and the breakfast taco came with a flour tortilla. They both really impressed me! I'll definitely be back to try more tacos! read more

What a great surprise, can't believe I've been sleeping on this place for so long! Tacos Yo Soy feels like more than a food truck. They've created a really charming little patio that is welcoming and comfortable. Service was fast and friendly. Food was delicious! Great value for the price. We tried the al pastor, chicken tinga, and barbacoa tacos, along with a quesadilla and mango aqua fresca. All very yum! This is my new favorite taco spot in the area. Definitely give it a try! read more

Got a quesadilla, which was just sadly made. Barely any cheese and meat, and way too pricey. Service was great and fast, but the food just didn't do it for me. And to do a quesadilla with cheddar cheese is not legit, real Mexican quesadillas are made with either Oaxaca or even Mozzarella cheese read more

I got the mini tacos pastor plate. Pastor could use more flavoring but overall pretty good. Would recommended them! read more

First time trying this place and I was really good! I got the Migas and another breakfast taco. I love their corn tortillas and their salas. They had a red, green, and I believe a chipotle one? That one was my favorite. It's a little bit of a drive for me, but I'll for sure be back! Service was quick too. read more

I've eaten at the most famous taco places in Austin, and these are my favorite Home-made corn tortillas, excellent salsa -- toppings are great, and prices are reasonable. My wife and I love the Migas and the Chicken Tinga taco. The Chicken Quesadillas are great as well. My only suggestion is that I would love to see grilled onions on the side! Fantastic food here. read more

This place has recently moved to north loop next to Vans Bahn Mi. Thought I would give it a go. First thing noticed was it is a cash only truck. Without being aware before stopping I only had 4$ cash. $2.50 bistec taco it is. First note and what makes me absolutely gleaming is that the red spicy sauce.....is actually spicy! To many places the spicy sauce is tepid at best. This place, spicy means spicy and great flavor not heat alone. Overall, this is one of if not the best $2.50 taco in town. Look forward to going back with cash and checking out the rest of the menu. read more

I pop by this truck occasionally and try something new every time. The food is fantastic and the owner is genuinely passionate about the product he puts out and your enjoyment of it. I don't think I've ever reviewed anything but today I got the huarache with carnitas and a side of rice/beans and he was so excited about it he took a picture of the plate, as a cook that is the passion I want the person making my food to have. Also, being hungover and getting a topo and pancakes at the taco truck two blocks from my apt is pretty amazing. read more

Honestly these are the worst tacos I've had in Austin. Meat is flavorless, tortillas are not great and it's is expensive for what you get. Wish North Loop would get a new taco truck. read more

This place is wonderful! The food is made with love & care- my burrito was grilled to be toasty! And the atmosphere is beautiful. It is a lovely book with umbrellas and I felt at-home. It is a beautiful place to eat at sunset. The servers are very nice people. 5 stars! read more

Fresh and yummy Asada tacos (2) with rice and pinto beans! They came out quite quickly and came with a sauce (of your choice). The red sauce is REALLY spicy just warning ya. Green sauce was good and also had a kick. Will be a regular here. Located right across from Van's Banh Mi. (both trucks are great!!) Another time, I got the Mango with Chile. It was sooOOoo refreshing and sweet! read more

Tacos and Deli is one of those hidden gems that you find in your neighborhood and want the world to know. The food is always absolutely fabulous and the portions generous; the breakfast tacos are giant and oh so delicious. The hot sauces live up to their name --- flavorful and quite the punch. So stop on by and give Emilio a try. He'll greet you with a friendly smile and a satisfying meal. read more

It's not much to look at, but the food is pretty dang good. I had the chicken tacos, with lettuce instead of tortillas, and they had lots of flavor, and it was plenty of food. There's also a Vietnamese food truck at the same location. Picnic tables were pretty well shaded with umbrellas. read more

This place is amazing. The workers are all so friendly and they all have great customer service. The food is amazing and they have their own special salsa that absolutely SLAPS!! So good! 10/10 would come again. Also the setup has to be one of the most beautiful food truck setups I've ever seen. read more

Haven't tried the food yet, but the horchata is excellent. Definitely the best I've had in Austin by far.

If only this place was as accessible as McDonalds. In which I mean/ I wish they were on every corner. I have to admit, the 1st time I tried this place I had the potatoes an egg taco. I was a little disturbed that my "papas" were runny (not what I was expecting). But now each time I go there I order an extra side of papas!!... I love breakfast tacos. I love avocado. I didn't know these 2 things would go together until I had the jess tacos from here. It was like a harmonious marriage of excellence in my mouth. This is like the lobster of breakfast tacos. Another thing I love is the migas special. I love this plate so much, that I want to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant. ;) (That winks for you migas especial. I'm thinking of you.) This is a far superior place to eat and is a role model of a restaurant I would like to own one day. Great concepts and twist on food that you thought could only be prepared one way. To top this greatness off most of the food they serve here is good for you. Double sha-poopy for taco deli, great tasting food and it's healthy! read more

This is my go to taco truck. Super friendly family run. Huge array of options. Everything is solid. Red sauce and oro sauce are nice and spicy. The pork torta is excellent - good bun, veggies,avocado, and moist pork. Fast service. Breakfast tacos are great too - more egg filling than avg and the Migas are my fav. read more
