Tacos de Diaz serves the best-tasting al pastor I've had, just like the street vendors in Mexico, but in a storefront! You can watch the pork roasting on a real trompo topped with pineapple right in the kitchen. The meat comes off crispy and caramelized at the edges, and it's topped with melted cheese, fresh cilantro, onions, and red salsa. For even more authenticity, get them on corn tortillas. They're messy in the best way, so grab extra napkins. If you've been missing real Mexican street-style al pastor, this is a must-try.

Came here last night after our flight after getting a recommendation from a local. Definitely a solid spot for tacos. SERVICE - This is an order-at-the-counter type of place where you order and wait for your food. The staff was friendly and everything was pretty straightforward. FOOD Carne Asada Tacos - The meat was tender, well seasoned, and had a ton of flavor. Really solid tacos. Pork Tacos - Just as good. The pork was tender and flavorful with plenty of seasoning throughout. Overall, a great casual spot for tacos. Simple, flavorful food and exactly what we were looking for after a flight. Glad we took the local recommendation!

Adobada (Pastor) Taco
Marissa C.

Definitely one of my favorite pastor in town :) Every time I come, I love how consistent the food quality is. Ordering a simple enough, and I love the chill atmosphere at this specific location. I've explored the menu and I've loved everything. I've tried but keep coming back for the pastor. Parking lot is a little small but I usually don't wait long at all for someone to leave.

I am going 5 stars to this one. The tacos were fantastic. I'd say somewhere between Sonora and Mexico City style. The Volcan crispy taco was special; I wish I had gotten 2. The al pastor on mark, Asada was fine. Best for lunch. Parking, yelp south Lamar you know the drill. Must stop in.

Carne Asada Taco
Cam H.

My friend got the carne asada volcan and I got the normal flour carne asada taco. I liked hers way more than mine. The taco shell was crispy on the outside and cheesy inside. Mine was just a generic taco, although I liked the smoky flavor of the meat. Good service, line moved fairly quick. Limited seating inside. They have outdoor tables.

This morning I did an hour long fitness class. One of my friends from the class and I met at Taqueria De Diez for some mid-day replenishment. We shared guacamole and chips along with a chicken quesadilla. This was my first time back since their opening and my friend's first time. This guacamole was creamy but still chunky and perfectly seasoned. The chips were crispy, crunchy, warm and lightly salted. The one two punch...in a good way. Now let's talk about the quesadilla...not your typical flat smothered in cheese quesadilla cut into triangles. This chicken quesadilla took the shape of an extra-large taco. First, the corn tortilla was homemade and a bit thick...like I like homemade tortillas. The tortilla could have been a meal in and of itself. It appeared a thin layer of cheese was seared on the tortilla and was exploding with flavor. Inside the quesadilla was chicken, guacamole and freshly diced onions. The chicken was so moist, you could cut it with a fork and was uniquely seasoned. The layering of the quesadillas was key to its incredible taste. Between my friend and me, we barely ate the entire quesadilla, but had chips and guacamole leftover. A line started to form at the door when we arrived and folks were continuing to line up. However, it was a pretty laid-back atmosphere. Also, there is limited parking spaces near the restaurant and street parking only.

Love their delicious Tijuana-style street tacos! We tried them for the first time at their other speak easy location during our recent visit in Austin. Loved it so much that we came to this location to have them again before we head home. We ordered a bunch and tried different meats this time. Everything was good and I am still big fan on the Grilled Sirlion Beef Volcan! This location has outside tables, which is good on a nice mild day.

Regular Taco (right) and Vulcan Taco (left)

Nut allergy friendly: I tried to mention it, the chefs didn't really get it, we Google translated it and they laughed and said I was fine. Parking has an overflow lot across the street that is much less competitive, would recommend that (2120 S Lamar, yes it's where the strange crystal shop is). Popped in at 7:10, 5 people in front of us, we still got our full order by 7:15. They're crazy fast and know their stuff here! For three people, we ordered two tacos, a quesadilla, and two Vulcan tacos. For tacos we got one each of the carne asada and one adobada, and I got a campechana quesadilla. My group are usually Pastor fans, and they indeed have an amazing spinning setup with the pork and pineapple drippings. But I have to say, their carne asada is a real standout. Well seasoned and incredibly tender. I loved the mix in the campechana and the quesadilla cheese brought it all together. If I were to go back I'd definitely get a quesadilla or the unique Vulcan tacos which serve as an excellent crispy alternative, would definitely recommend. They don't even really need sauces. Definitely bats up there with Cuantos for my top tacos in Austin.

Got to go order for carne asada volcán Food was ready on time and easy pickup Delicious!! Cheesy crispy corn tostada with carne asada and all the toppings Togo order off uber eats - super easy and best price There is indoor and some outdoor seating Parking lot available but kinda small for the shopping center Open style kitchen

Pollo Asado quesadilla
Rebecca P.

This is my favorite taqueria in Austin. The service is so quick, usually there's a line up they end up filtering through everyone quickly. I love the little salsa bar so you can pick what you want or try everything! The food is always so fresh, and I enjoy getting to watch them make it.

Chicken Pollo Asado Burrito
Michael C.

We got a couple burritos and were disappointed that the extra guacamole we paid for wasn't actually added to either. My chicken has a nice char flavor and the tortilla was good, but the burrito itself was pretty dry and was half tortilla. Needed more filling. Also added extra meat and it wasn't obvious. Gf had asada and was chewy. Nice clean place, efficient, just could improve on the portion and accuracy. Bill was $44 for the two burritos, a sparkling water and baby coke.

Barbara A.

The tacos are incredible. Flavor profile is excellent and they were worth the wait. I dream of the adobado tacos all the time. Just priced a little high IMO

"con todo" (with everything), which includes cilantro, onions, salsa, and guacamole
Samantha L.

Authentic and fresh tacos that are super loaded with yummy toppings! Lively and energetic vibes here with upbeat music. There was a constant flow of customers, but they have quick and efficient service. Entering from the main street entrance will get you to the taco order counter directly (follow the rainbow road). After you order at the front, they will give you a ticket. Make sure not to lose your ticket. No ticket, no taco! (According to the sign.) Next, you scoot down and hand over your ticket at the side counter. They will get started on preparing your order fresh. You let them know if it's for here or to go and definitely get it "con todo" (with everything), which includes cilantro, onions, salsa, and guacamole. Adobada (Pastor) Roasted Pork Taco - your choice of 5in corn or flour handmade tortilla. We chose flour tortilla and they grilled them on the griddle to create a lightly crunchy exterior. The Pastor meat was very flavorful and tender, with some crispy parts on the edges. You can see it being roasted on a rotating spit and they carve the meat fresh to order. Fresh pineapple on top was sweet and juicy. Good balanced flavor along with the salsa and meat juices. I also liked that it was wrapped in parchment paper to hold easier and not drip everywhere. Adobada (Pastor) Roasted Pork Volcan - this was described as a crunchy 5in corn tortilla with cheese and it was exactly that. Super crunchy tortilla on the bottom and melty cheese on top. Like a crunchy taco shell bowl. The middle was basically the same as the Pastor Taco. Both the Taco and Volcan were about $5-6 each, which can sound pricey, but it is totally value. Two were enough to fill a person up. They loaded it up fully with extra meat and toppings, really filling and overflowing. Even with everything on it, the tortillas didn't fall apart. For indoor seating, there are counters and high stools along the right wall. Outdoor seating on the front patio also has counters and high stools as well as tables and chairs. Small parking lot on the side that gets full pretty quickly. Self serve water jug on the back counter. Overall, great tasty tacos made with handmade tortillas, fresh ingredients, and generous portions!

Horchata 10/10 the best around!!  & guava margarita!!

They have a cute indoor seating area along with a rooftop patio, which is really cute especially when the weather gets great. I got a corn poblano soup and I have to say that was delicious. I got the small cup and next time I go back I will definitely get the whole bowl cause that was amazing. I did go during brunch hours so I got two tacos. One of them was the Migos taco, which was delicious. I love that the tortilla chips and they were nice and crunchy still and not soggy. I also got a taco called the Cherrywood, which had bacon cheese, egg, potato, and avocado, and it was delicious. I love that their tortillas are homemade and they're not the cheap American puffy ones. They also give you complementary chips and salsa and both salsa were delicious. I literally combine both of them in my tacos. They do have some great drinks. One of them is the Highlander margarita which is really nice and smooth and they use patron silver. They also had another margarita that I saw a lot of people ordering and it was an avocado one, and everybody kept raving about it. They definitely have a good mix of cocktails and then anything in general that you would want.

We stopped by at 11:45 am and surprisingly there were plenty of parking spots around the restaurant. We had a great waiter who was attentive and patient with us. We ordered a mimosa carafe for the group. Unfortunately, I think they need a better way of serving these mimosas because the sparkling wine in the carafe gets immediately warm due to not being placed on ice. We were drinking lukewarm mimosas. Please rethink this El Alma, you need buckets to keep the wine and juice cold! Anyways, we received complimentary chips and salsa while we waited for our food. I ordered the breakfast enchiladas which were delicious. They had egg in them, and honestly never thought this existed but happy I found it! Wish the side of beans it came with was bigger. The rest of our group enjoyed their foods as well. There's rooftop seating which was lovely BUT there's a huge oak tree above that continuously drops leaves and debris constantly. Our drinks had floating bits and it just kept falling. I recommend some umbrellas. Our waiter was kind enough to let us move when a table opened up under the canopy. Great food, super cool restaurant but some operational issues that keep it to a 4 and not a 5.

Honestly, some of the best, most authentic tacos you'll get here in Austin. Taqueria was actually…read morestarted by twin brothers from Mexico, and they wanted that same authentic feeling they had in their local taqueria here in Austin. The brothers traveled around different areas throughout the US trying different variations before deciding how they wanted to style the tacos. This place is in an alley, and it's very unassuming. It's actually considered a "reverse speakeasy" with a gorgous bar with a disco ball in the front, and mouthwatering food in the back. As everything in De Diez are made completely from scratch (including the tortillas), prices are very, very, fair. Service is fast and simple, your food is made in front of you by very friendly workers

We knew that Austin is a foodie city and it didn't disappoint in the slightest in hitting all those food types that we were wanting to try. We enthusiastically marked off "Mexican" by coming to Taqueria De Diez. It wasn't in our bookmarks to try. I believe we came across it in a Google search or a Yelp search and we're impressed with the review score and decided to go check it out. It didn't disappoint at all. The review score average definitely held up. We got tacos here. I got three Asada tacos and I have to say that these tacos are the best I have had in recent memory. And I am all about tacos. I mean I LOVE tacos so that is saying a lot as I am such a snob with Mexican food. I can say with quite a bit of confidence... and this is even a bigger statement... these tacos may very well be the best I have EVER had. Now, I know that's saying a lot but they were so, so good. Months later from our dining experience there I am still thinking about this place. So if I could give more than five stars I most certainly would. Sometimes the no frills restaurants are the best and that is kind of what's going on here. It somewhat arranged with placing your order a tad bit like a cafeteria (but not an actual cafeteria). You place your food order and then wait for it at the end. Lots of customers take their orders to go but there is spots where you can dine in also. Steve and I did just that and we sat and enjoyed our tacos. So what makes me praise these tacos so much? I don't know for sure but the roll out of flavor on your tongue was just magical. The steak I imagine was prepared with perfection and got all of the tender, loving care it needed to be as amazing as it was. The rest of the toppings were great too as well as the sauces and the taco sized tortillas were probably a likely suspect as well in their perfection. It was so perfect. Taco bliss indeed. I long for these tacos again and if we are even somewhat close to Austin seeking this place out will be a no brainer for us.

I'd also read reviews from a few Yelp Elite members who were slightly disappointed. I hope those didn't color my experience, but I came away feeling much the same. I arrived around 5 p.m., shortly after opening, and the place was already packed. Luckily, I snagged one of the only two seats available at the bar. The decor was fine, but nothing particularly special. The staff were super attentive and clearly very busy. Things moved a little more slowly than I would have liked, but it certainly wasn't for lack of effort. I was considering a happy hour taco when the bartender suggested a half order of the famous Suadero Tacos, made with Wagyu beef. I went with that, plus the Frijoles con Veneno, refried beans with seared panela cheese, and a Don Dario cocktail. I thought that would be the beginning of my meal. Turns out, that combination was filling enough to be the whole thing. The food was very, very good. Still, like some other reviewers, I didn't feel it quite lived up to the hype. Would I have felt differently if I hadn't read those reviews beforehand? Maybe. Attentive staff and very good food deserve credit. I just didn't leave quite as excited as I'd hoped.

Bad Bunny was playing the background, which created a lovely ambiance. We ordered drinks, an appetizer, entrees and a side. We first ordered the guacamole and tortilla chips. The tortilla chips tasted homemade and guac was quite tasty with jalapeno slices as a garnish. My friend ordered the Sandia cocktail comprised of Lalo, Ancho Reyes, watermelon, lime, and chamoy. I ordered the Frida Kahlo including Don Fulano Blanco, Jalisco 1562, guava, blood orange, lime, black lava Ssalt. Note to self: Don't touch the black lava salt because it rubs off on your hands.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
