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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Taqueria De Diez - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

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 :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Taqueria De Diez - Volcan Tacos: Pastor and Carne Asada and a side of Onions and Jalapeño. - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

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. read more

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! read more

Taqueria De Diez - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I placed an order online for pick up. The restaurant is located in a bar. I was told to go to the pick up area at the bar. I attempted to pick up the food in the pick up area but was instructed to wait in line. I got to the register and the cashier told me I had to go to the pick up area, which was odd but okay. The food definitely made up for the service though. I got the carne asada and pastor tacos. The pastor taco was definitely my favorite. The pineapple complimented the juicy pork. The carne asada taco was also delicious. There were more than enough toppings provided including guacamole, sauces, onions, lime, and cilantro. I would definitely return to try other items on the menu. read more

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. read more

So many times, when a new place has the magic, they expand and it somehow takes away from it. The original Taqueria 10/10 downtown was a sensation, and rightfully so. We felt like we were in MX, and the food is incredible. Best authentic tacos in ATX. Placed an order for pick up and thought it would still be really good because it's on that cool stretch of S Lamar. First, I'll say it smells amazing inside and I was very excited. However, three things I'd note: 1) ordered onions/cilantro/guac on side and they didn't provide them. It happens, but it's little things like that which make you think they're missing certain things that initially made everyone crazy about this place 2) ordered for pick-up on door dash instead of their site and it's significantly more expensive. Now I get mark-ups on the delivery items but I haven't really seen it on the pick up orders. Lame 3) the presentation of the tacos wasn't quite as good - this is one of those steps you see during expansion (case in point shake shack after original Madison Square Park location). Would I come back? Yes, I would give it another try but I'd probably rather just head to the original! read more

Hands down, the closest Mexican take-out most matching that of So. Cal Baja Mexican food I have had on this 7000 mile journey. A pass-through (walk-through) hole in the wall is most characteristic of a place I used to frequent in San Diego. Special paper fold under each taco plate was another characteristic I had seen from a catering in the same San Diego area. Very good presentation of my tacos . . . had to take a picture. The walkthrough feature allows you to momentarily interact with the chefs and staff. They also play the game well. A must do in the alleys of Austin. CritDicks read more

Been hearing and seeing this place on IG for awhile now. Finally made it down to try it out. Parking lot is very small and a bit tough to find parking. I had to circle the neighborhood a few times to find parking. I got a mixed burrito to eat immediately and some tacos to go. The burrito is a good sized burrito but does have a lot of rice. I felt like the burrito wasn't mixed that well meaning I had a lot of bites of basically rice and then other bites of just meat. The lady at the counter asked if I wanted guac and cheese which we said yes but i could only find a small sliver of avocado. Overall the burrito was decent but felt a little dry. I think the tacos will be much better, at least i hope. Inside is mainly standing counter eating and outside there are some tables to sit down and eat. read more

A taco speakeasy! How fun. When you walk in, it's a bar. You have to walk through a second door to the tacos. The tacos are delicious! They are almost $5 for each taco, but they're a pretty good size. The service was quick. You order at a counter and then give the ticket to a chef and they prepare the food. There is a sauce/ lime bar which I love. Excellent place! 5 star quality food, but value option was 3 stars. It was pretty spendy for street tacos, especially when there's so many options in Austin. They did mess up our order though. They gave us one less taco than we ordered, which for $5 a taco is disappointing. read more

The food is phenomenal out of this world. So is the price. They include tip and then ask for more so be wary when checking out.

I'd heard a lot about these tacos, so I decided to give them a try. I'd actually tried once before at their downtown location but left because I couldn't find parking. Unfortunately, this location isn't any better--there's no parking nearby, and after driving around three times, I still couldn't find a spot. You also can't park on the surrounding streets. Honestly, these tacos are overhyped and overrated. The carne asada tacos were decent, but the al pastor ones were disappointing. The meat lacked salt and tasted like plain grilled meat--there was none of that signature al pastor flavor. They offer three salsas: one with raw tomato, one grilled tomato/chiles, and one with jalapeño, but none of them had any real flavor. Customer service was also poor. There's even a man "guarding" the door because there's a line to order, which just adds to the chaos. They only accept card payments and charge a fee for using one. Each taco costs nearly $6, and drinks are $4. After ordering, you still have to take your ticket to the taquero and wait in another line to pick up your food. Overall, it definitely wasn't to my liking--and not worth the hype or the hassle. read more

We tried the chicken, pastor and nopal tacos as well as the ranchero beans, chips and guacamole and the frozen guava margarita. The nopal tacos were okay. Didn't know what to expect but I didn't care for the texture and wouldn't order that one again. The chicken taco was really good and had a strong charcoal taste. The real winner was the pastor. It's outstanding and that'll be my order next time. The handmade corn tortillas are incredible. As are the various salsas. I especially enjoyed the creamy jalapeño verde. The beans were basic af, but tasted better after I doctored them with the creamy jalapeño salsa. Finally, at $10, the margarita was a little overpriced for the size of the cup, but it was refreshing and tasted great. read more

I had two al pastor tacos (8.99) + chips and guac (4.99) . The chips and guac were unseasoned. The guac was old and brown and it was 50% tomatoes and tasted like nothing. It made me think that I had Covid. The tacos were dry. I got the al pastor tacos, whenever the server shaved the meat off she shaved off the burnt pieces so all the meat I got was burnt and dry. the red and green salsa were unseasoned. They also charge 3.49 for a water bottle and yes 4.50 and up per taco. Highly overpriced. The service was good and the place was clean so theres that! read more

Taqueria De Diez slaps. The diez stands for ten out of ten stars. No notes, just al pastor.

I've heard many good things about taqueria de diez and have been wanting to try them for some time now. I'm glad I finally did! Selena's "Amor Prohibido" was playing as we walked it and it perfect matched the vibe I anticipated. The ambiance, set up, and service were reminiscent of taquerías in central Mexico and Mexico City. We loved every part of this! We got in around 1:30 PM on a Saturday and had no line at all, so ordering and getting our food was quick with no wait. Prices were on par with other taco places in Austin, and the servings here were substantial! We ordered two tacos each and a quesadilla de asada to share. The tacos were great and pretty packed with meat and the optional fillings (onions, salsa and guacamole). The quesadilla was massive and STUFFED with both pastor and asada. We tried their green and red salsa and liked both. I didn't think either of them was spicy so maybe I'll try their habanero next one. My partner thought they lean more flavorful than spicy too and he has a lower spice threshold. They are good and mild salsas. Overall, it's worth checking out! I want to come back and try their chicken and their nopales too! I'll update here when that happens. read more
