Beef tacos. Great taste. Get it while you get your car inspected. Flour tortillas taste homemade.

On the way to Lake Travis, we needed some food and Birrierias seemed like a good spot to get some…read morelunch. It is a little food truck area by a bodega gas station. Got some tacos, esquites (corn in a cup), and a birrierias torta. The service was quick and all the food was delicious, but esquites was a little pricey. I would recommend stopping here for some authentic street food that hit the spot.

Wow! If you like BIRRIA, this is your spot! So many offerings. Birria Ramen, party platters,…read moreindividual tacos (4$ each, served with onion, cilantro, salsa verde, & red sauce), and even BirriaPizza that I have to go back and try (built on a 12" flour tortilla). I'm intrigued! Stopped by on a whym for lunch. Enjoyed 2 Birria tacos & a Mexican Coke on their picnic table (beautiful day!). Individual tacos (in lieu of "plates") don't come with consommé; however, the wonderfully friendly staff eagerly offered me a small cup. Hot and yum! Happy girl! :D Also purchased two Carne Asada Tacos to-go for dinner. Sadly, the beef was riddled with inedible fat and gristle (see pics). :( Cry. Short: Go for the Birria, skip the other traditional Mexican offerings (e.g., tripa, al pastor, etc.). Oh, be sure to ask them to crisp the corn tortillas with the birria tacos, otherwise oddly they won't. Merp. They accept credit cards and cash. Gratuity is greatly appreciated, but not expected of course.

I went with the mall location and I liked it. The idea is cool: it's a waffle shell with ice cream…read moreand extras - looks like a taco, tastes like Bluebell. Hey, people love their bluebell ice cream in Texas! There are plenty of options for tacos, I liked the peanut butter one, it was good. You can also order a custom made sweet taco, kinda feels almost like one of the frozen yogurt places. The only downside of this place for me is the hours, it's closed on some days, and the rest of the week - it works some hours. You really gotta check out the schedule before heading out there!

I came to this location with Thing One last Friday for his 15th birthday surprise…read more We ordered two tacos; a small and large size. Thing one ordered the cookie monster taco ice-cream taco. This taco was the right mix of sweet and cookie. He enjoyed this treat but he was expecting something more than Blue Bell ice-cream in a waffle cone shell shaped like a taco. I ordered the Doughn't be Salty small taco. I enjoyed my taco and as it was nice and sweet without being overly sweet. Would I order this again, I'm not sure....here's why, I am not to keen on the idea of spending $14.00 on two treats that I could have made at home for a fraction of the price. For me, this is the type of place that I may come to once a year when I am in the mood to splurge. #supportlocal

I'm a taco junkie and this is one of, if not the best breakfast taco I've ever had…read more Order the Ortega special breakfast taco. So dang good. And there's super nice on top of it

My first time here but I will definitely be back. I have lived in this area for a few years and…read morekeep passing by saying "one day I'll try their tacos". Finally, today was the day and I sure wish I would have tried this place sooner. Since moving to Texas from Southern Cal, I haven't found many places that have what I would call authentic tacos. I keep trying hoping to find that place and I just might have. They are located in a small food truck court off 71. Easy parking and they have plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your tacos fresh. I only ordered "street tacos" with Adobada; I didn't have to wait long and I did take them to-go since I don't live very far. When I got home, they were still fresh and warm. They were prepared in fresh corn tortillas (they do also offer flour) and there is quite a bit of meat. They came with lime wedges and some red & green sauce. Given my experience with other taco locations, I wasn't expecting much. But my first bite... I was surprised at how delicious they are. Most places I have been to, the meat tastes as though it has been warming in a metal bin for awhile and lacks freshness. But this meat was very fresh and delicious. Squeeze a little lime and add some of the green sauce and these tacos are epic! I ordered three and thought for sure I would end up throwing one or two of them out. But after eating two of them, I saved the third for my daughter but was tempted to eat it too. If the tacos are this good... I am sure the rest of the food must be great. I have had tacos from a few places in downtown Austin that are good, but it's a far drive to get them regularly. It's nice to know the best tacos I have tried since coming to Texas is quite close to me. And between the tacos I have had in Austin and Ortega's, I would choose Ortega's any day. Although they provided red sauce, if you like really spicy... use the green sauce. Like finding good tacos, it has been difficult to find good spicy taco sauce but their green sauce is going to make you sweat a little. Although I waited years to try, I'm glad I finally tried Ortega's and I will be back soon.
