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

A friend and I came here to try out the new location of our favorite taco place in Austin. One immediate pro about the new location is that parking is much easier to find and there is a lot more seating with an outdoor patio. I got a guava frozen margarita and my classic steak burrito. Another point this location has over the flagship location is the frozen margarita. It was so sweet and had a perfect texture and got me blasted. A perfect pairing to the burrito. Even though the food was still good, the meat wasn't as tender and seasoned as the other location. You also miss out on the hole-in-the-wall vibe and charm that the other location has. Overall, a still really good experience but if I could help, I will always go to the downtown location.

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

The food is great here. Cooked right behind the counter, openly straight from the spit, so it's fresh to order! Sometimes parking is difficult because it's a busy area. The horchata is a must here- the cinnamon and milk ratio out perfect, so refreshing! I prefer this over the Jarritos in the glass bottles. Salsa bar is also on point! One thing I wish they would offer on the menu is campechana/campechano fries. I know it would do so well here!! To feed our family we spent about $140.00, yes it's expensive, but also worth the freshness and flavors- the closest thing we have found to San Diego/ Tijuana Tacos :)

Had lunch yesterday with my youngest daughter at Tacos De Diez on South Lamar, and it was such a good experience. The place has that old-school taquería feel that instantly reminded me of being back home in Mexico. The food tasted very authentic, and I loved that all of the staff spoke Spanish--I took the opportunity to chat with them in Spanish, which made the visit feel even more welcoming and genuine. My daughter ordered the steak tacos and said they were absolutely delicious. I tried the nopal (cactus) burrito, it was huge and I really enjoyed. I do wish they offered a few more vegetarian options since there was only one available, but the flavor and authenticity definitely made up for it. The taquería is located on a busy stretch of South Lamar, and parking is a bit challenging but worth the stop if you're craving real Mexican flavors. Despite the limited vegetarian options, I'll definitely be back.

Ok, I'm back to try the "Adobada (Pastor). It look so good last time and I was able to snag a few samples. It was sooooo gooood! Brought two friends who also love authentic Latin foods. They were not disappointed. We ordered a Adobada Burrito and Campechania Burrito (two meat burrito, added guacamole and cheese). It's was so good. All we heard was "this a so good"!!! All in all, best decision of the day. Park where you can and come on in. Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx.

Taqueria De Diaz on South Lamar is the second location here in Austin! This location is located directly off Lamar, centralized with a few other businesses. This location allows customers more parking autonomy than the downtown location. Parking here is a bit limited, depending on when you come but it is free! The food is just as amazing as the original location. Love how you order and are able to see an "Open Bay" view of them making your food. Highly recommend the Campechano Tacos (with Arne Asada and Al Pastor). Absolutely delicious! If you're wanting the best bang for your buck and to get full, the burrito is absolutely worth every penny. Huge filler and will leave you full! Service is always expedient and friendly. Seating is available for both inside and outside the establishment. Highly recommend for all my authentic taco/burrito/quesadilla lovers!

Volcan Tacos:  Pastor and Carne Asada and a side of Onions and Jalapeño.

This place is FIRE!!! The Volcan Tacos, oh man... if you're looking at this review, come down and try it if you never have. I've had all the protein under the Volcan Taco and it is mouthwatering. All the other items I have tried on their menu is phenomenal. Gonna come back for more again and again this week! Hehehee.

Driving down South Lamar is a very busy street. At the intersection of W Oltorf @ Lamar sits a series of several restaurants, shops and bars in the extremely bougie high real estate 78704. It is certainly a busy area scene during the afternoon and evening hours. Taqueria De Dez is the 2nd location of this brand new late night taco spot. The original location is over in downtown near the convention center which has been a popular success. This 2nd store is slightly bigger, serving a variety of tacos, burritos, volcan and quesadillas. This store runs late night hours till 10pm Sun-Wed and till 1am Thu-Sat. It is a streamlined taco shop where you wait in line, order at the register, walk down the isle with your ticker as your tacos are freshly made in front of you. You will hand over your ticket order and the cook will ask what items you want your meal prep with such as cilantro or onions. Tortillas are freshly made in the same kitchen. This is authentic mexican style cooking. The kitchen is right in front of you where a row of cooks are grilling meats, making fresh tortillas, and prepping tacos. Menu has several different meats of choice. They serve Mexican bottle coke, Jarritos, Topo Chico and a few other drinks. You have seating covered outside right on the sidewalk of south lamar with a few tables or the open barstool seating along the row inside. Parking will be an issue since the adjacent lot has very few spaces. You will likely have to park down Oxford Ave or Kinney Ave to find street parking and beware of all the No parking signs. Prices are just ok for the size of these tacos. Taqueria de Dez a simple low key spot serving freshly made tacos and keeping busy by stating open late night hours. This is a worthy taco spot for Austin.

Some of the best tacos I've had in Austin! Yes, they're $4-$5 each but they are packed and 2 is a meal, to me at least. The meat is cooked perfectly and the other ingredients added in are fresh and complement the meat perfectly. The salsas that are available are all great too! I tried the two less spicy versions and thought they weren't too spicy and had great flavors. Hiiiighly recommend the pastor but you can't go wrong with anything. The interior has some seating along the walls. And there's patio table seating in the front. Service is friendly and quick. You give your receipt to the people at the counter and they make the food freshly for you. Parking is a little challenging but there are two small lots and we eventually got a spot. Worth traveling to for some good tacos!

I yearn for a good street taco. Let me rephrase. Biblically, I need street tacos. There is nothing I crave more than some al pastor and carne asada tacos at any given point. I was telling my co-worker about how there are not any good street tacos near us and how I hated that I truly needed to drive deeper into Austin to unlock some banging tacos. Slinging tacos on a corn tortilla and throwing some cilantro and onions on there has me ready to take over the world, so last night after seeing an Austin premiere of a movie at Alamo off Lamar and my buddy asked me if I wanted to check out Taqueria De Diez after. I knew I couldn't say no. Taqueria De Diez's second location sits right off South Lamar near Black Sheep Lodge and across the street from Loro. It is new, it is fresh, and it has a parking lot that cannot fit all the taco yearners like myself in it. Luckily, as I was arriving, someone was leaving and I was able to nab the last parking spot available. This was almost 10:00 pm at night, but I always know food hits better through the late night. Upon arrival was a guy standing outside ready to hand us a menu to help us decide what we wanted. I was immediately taken aback by the price of their street tacos. Four dollars and fifty cents was the minimum buy-in for one taco. Some taco joints I have been to especially in the San Antonio area can stretch a ten dollar bill like an NBA player using a resistance band. Ultimately, three tacos and one guava Jarritos cost me just over twenty-one dollars plus an optional tip and a mandatory in-person service charge. Inside the place is cool. It is very white on the tables and the walls with splashes of red from their decor and messaging and an LED logo sign. Outside has covered seating which was nice after the rain that blew through Austin early in the evening. On a cool fall Austin night, it just feels great sitting outside slamming some tacos. It has a very similar energy to the beloved Los Tacos No. 1 in New York in terms of how they wrap the tacos and their overall aesthetic, but I am not going to New York any time soon, so who cares. Once you pay for your tacos, you are handed a ticket that you give to one of the guys manning the station and they get to work. You choose if you want cilantro, onions, guacamole, and salsa. I opted for just cilantro and onions and poured myself a cup of their salsa on the side along with a couple limes. It felt like mere seconds before my food was ready. I ordered three tacos for myself: one adobada, one carne asada, and one nopal. I enjoy nopales and I thought it was a very solid veggie taco. The carne asada was very meaty and I thought it was excellent, but the true winner was their pastor which had an amazing flavor thanks to the adobada and you can tell it was slow cooked and perfected on the trompo. I feel like I could have eaten six of those and been satisfied. They also offer a campechano taco that has both carne asada and pastor in one if you are greedy like that. I love how authentic and flavorful the tacos are, but I cannot fully get past their price tag just yet. I get that it is a newly opened second location of a taco shop in prime real estate on South Lamar, and they have to make money to stay alive, but it still hurts knowing that you cannot say the phrase dollar tacos anymore. With all that being said, I still plan to go back because I know after a few drinks, those tacos hit like George Foreman punching the snot out of you and I would say it is almost worth it any time of the day. I think it will feel lighter on the pockets after the paycheck hits versus two weeks into it. I'll cut them some slack because they were excellent and I'm willing to pay the price for good food even if I recoil at the Toast tablet. RIYL: Insane taco game but have the ability to close your eyes as your Chase Sapphire hits the tap to pay.

I did not take a picture before eating because I was too hungry lol. This place is the epitome of Austin. I'm glad I got to try it out. In a city where it's hard to find good tacos and nothing seems to match up to Rosita's, this place gives it competition! The carne asada tacos were SO GOOD. And omg their tortillas?? So soft and well crafted, the maiz does not break and they taste so good too. The aguacate is delicious. 10/10 the seating outside is minimal but then again it is a busy street in S Lamar and it's Austin. The only reason it's not 5 star is for the Al Pastor. It was alright in my opinion, not something I would order again but the quesadilla I would! Just probably with the carne asada.

This might be the closes Tijuana style taqueria in ATX! Here's what makes it special: they have a huge spit with "marinated pork and pineapple" as the main attraction in their open kitchen. Plus, they make their own corn tortillas (though flour tortillas are also an option). You can top them with things like onion, cilantro, and guacamole. They also have other meats like marinated beef "carne asada," chicken, and more. The smell when you walk in is amazing! There's a strong pork aroma from the spit that really gets your taste buds going. Ordering is a bit different. The cashier takes your order and prints out a ticket. Then, you hand it to someone else who makes your order. The inside is simple and clean. They set up to deliver tacos and burritos quickly while turning customers, since there are only bar seats and some standing spots. It's not really a place to hang out for a long time. When it's busy, just eat and make room for the next person or order to go. They have a small salsa bar with some lime and a few salsa options in bottles, but they seem to make them fresh. I really liked the red salsa--it had a good heat and lots of flavor. Their burritos are a must-try! They're so full of flavor and generous with the meat. Tacos are $5, and burritos are $13. Well worth the price since the quality and portions are so good. There's a small parking lot that shares with other shops, so parking can be tricky when it's busy. Street parking is available, but watch out for the permit-only signs.

Buying 2 tacos here will cost more than buying a giant burrito from Cabo bobs. I get that its Austin, but for street style tacos? c'mon.. I don't care how authentic of ingredients a taco has but if its quite literally $5.99 for a street sized taco, that's a no for me. Taqueria De Diaz is a cool spot tucked away in downtown that now has this second location. The line moves fairly quickly. The interior design even reminded my Mexican girlfriend of spots back home in Mexico. The biggest downside is the pricing, no street taco should cost me $5.99 (Campechano). Their carne asada was my favorite taco I've tried from their menu, but at $5.50, it still felt overpriced. Even the bottled sodas were surprisingly expensive. It's a fun vibe and a cool experience, but for the price, it's not somewhere I'd ever come back to, it's just not worth it for me.

I've driven by El Alma many times being in the Austin area, but I never went until last Thursday, and after surviving a brief monsoon, I was glad to get a few drinks and eat some good TexMex with my large party just before a wedding. The best way to describe El Alma is that it is TexMex that is Austinified. Everything feels a little more unique and special than your classic TexMex options. I started off with a Mezcal Margarita that put a little hair on my chest and got me going. My group ordered two of their Nachitos, which were these nice nachos. For my main entrée, I got 3 Al Pastor tacos on corn with a side of their rice and beans. Their pastor was served with pineapples, onions, and cilantro with limes on the side. They were great and I immediately crushed them all. I thought their rice and beans were pretty good as well and a step above the typical TexMex rice and beans. The server was pretty attentive throughout our whole visit, and I honestly have no complaints about what they had to offer. Pricing on the meal and drinks was pretty standard for Austin, and I didn't think anything really took me out of the experience. On top of that, for being in Barton Springs, there is quite a bit of parking. I would love to come back at some point in the future and hang out on their rooftop bar because that seems like a lot of fun. Shoutout to El Alma for being a TexMex oasis saving me from the MoPac traffic. RIYL: TexMex, but better than your average
