Sunday morning breakfast tacos at a new place for me in Austin, Texas. I did the standard first order of chorizo and egg and also bacon and egg on flour. Each were $3. CASH ONLY. Tortillas were good, now awesome, but good. Good sized amount of filling. Two was a nice breakfast, so pretty cheap stop. I usually like the chorizo more than the bacon, but one of the better bacon fillings I've had. Not just one lonely strip of bacon, not crumbled up on the eggs. The red salsa is hot. Like really hot. Good, but beware. Definitely a winner. read more

Cash only - you have been warned! A small food trailer outside of a gas station (ATM) inside. I used to haunt this place, when I lived in south Austin. Now it is an occasional destination, a place where my mind wanders like thoughts of a wayward ex lover - nostalgic and warm, reminiscent of another time and place, a different era. The woman who owns this stand has had it for decades now. Her customers are faithful, fervent and many. There is a good chance that on a weekday at 6am, you will have to wait in a little line. I love the breakfast tacos - the homemade tortillas and gooey gooey cheese never fail to satisfy. For lunch, the beef fajita tacos with cilantro and onions are a savory, carnivorous delight. In a land of overpriced tacos, Taqueria Lopez is the real deal - local, affordable and dependable. read more

I have eaten here a number of times and could never remember the name, so I always ended up asking another YELPER. This is a tiny trailer at a convenience store and gas station. These are Mexican street tacos and as such are a bit smaller. A real plus is they are extremely inexpensive. To me, their forte' are the breakfast tacos. They are stunning. The lunch tacos are also quite good, especially the Chicharones. Today, I rushed from a series of appointment to try and catch the end of the breakfast tacos and just missed the timing. I tried crying, laying on the ground kicking and screaming and even tried to pretend I was going to hang myself right there (not very convincing as I only had dental floss). No luck. So, I went for the excellent Chicharones. $2.00 EACH! I usually eat in the formal dining room which means I sit on the trailer hitch as I have learned that eating in the car makes me stay hungry all day as the orders linger. This place is cash only and easy to miss. I will update my review after I have their menudo. I just have not been able to get there on a Saturday. If it is as good as their other food, another star may loom. read more

I love taco trucks parked next to gas stations/convenience stores because you aren't paying for ambience, just usually great homemade ingredients for small prices. This truck is parked next to the Citgo "gas store" on Teri Ln. at the corner of Freidrich Rd. in SE Austin (only about a mile from the I-35 northbound feeder road). The menu indicates slim pickins' for ingredient choices. I don't know if they perhaps have ingredients not listed on the sign, like refried beans for instance. I'd like to try a breakfast taco since the Yelp pictures and reviews are tempting. I ordered 2 al pastor tacos on flour tortillas (don't judge me--yes, they should be on corn, but I was in the MOOD!). The flour tortillas were soft and grilled just right, so I was happy I made that selection, but--pet peeve--they were rolled together in one piece of foil. What if they weren't both for me? What if I wanted eat one now and one later and the foil ripped? Pet peeve #2: they only allow 1 small salsa per taco, so for my 2 tacos I had to pay $0.50 extra so I could have 2 salsas verdes de cremas per taco. A lot of trucks have large plastic squirt bottles at the window or on a table so you can serve yourself to your heart's content (YES!), PLUS give you a number of small to-go salsas. Hint, hint Taqueria Lopez. As for the pastor meat itself, it was extremely soft and shredded, as in the texture of regular, pliable pulled pork, but without the juciness. It was obviously cooked in a dry red chili of some sort because I had to pick out several seeds and pieces of dried chilies as I ate the taco, which I wouldn't have minded, but it had NO trace of pineapple flavor (my preference) and was somewhat bland. Good thing I got those extra salsas! They were topped with the requisite fresh white onion and cilantro, but the cilantro was minutely chopped to death and was dry as well. SIGH. So, for these $2 tacos, maybe I got what I paid for this time. read more

Love me some Ms.Lopez ! been coming to her taco truck for the last ten years when I started with the city. Breakfast Burrito hits hard 6$ ! bacon, eggs and beans with cheese. The Bacon is delish and if you wish to switch it up, you can do whatever your heart desires and she will do it. Piccadillo is on point with onion y cilantro (flour shell of course !). One of my faves. Also chorizo, egg & cheese on corn another great. You can't go wrong. She's makes all the salsa herself and it's fire brahhh. So whatcha waiting fer!! Come on through. Terri Rd. & Pepper Ln. Located at the Teri road metro market which is another bonus. Get your energy drinks and nicotine while you wait on your tacos. She also offers quesadillas and gorditas as well if you want lunch. Will Add some photos next time I make it there. 7:00AM-3:00PM She also got that menudo Saturday if you need a lil pick me up from Friday night, ya feel meh ?? read more

There is something special about the breakfast tacos here at Taqueria Lopez! My husband has been getting breakfast tacos from the lady here for well over 10 years! The way she perfectly makes the eggs and the bits of bacon mixed in ... and then omg the cheese she uses is that special kind of cheese too! Her breakfast tacos truly are my favorite in town! The spot is cash only - FYI so come prepared. The price is cheap. You can get 2 breakfast tacos for $3 and change. It's a delicious deal! If you are looking for the perfect breakfast taco without all the hoopla - this is the place! #tacosforlife read more

I echo the rave reviews about the breakfast tacos. Great, no-frills tacos that are cheap! They offer a selection of ham, sausage, chorizo, potato or bacon with a choice of flour or corn tortillas. All served with eggs. I found it to be well worth the short drive! It is worth noting that this is a taco stand in a parking lot of a convenience store.

Great choice for a quick taco run if you work at one of the businesses in the Southpark office/warehouse complex. It's a small, nondescript blue taco trailer in the parking lot of the Teri Mart Citgo station. Tacos are pretty cheap at $1.50/ea. They also offer gorditas and tortas and what-not. You can phone in your pick-up order if you're in a hurry. They have yummy and filling breakfast tacos - the chorizo is great. They have very good corn tortillas. Lunch tacos are all very good too - try the picadillo or beef fajita. read more

My company moved into a new office down south, so I began my search for all the the good eats in the area with Taqueria Lopez. Seriously, if you want good tacos, always choose the shady gas station corner food truck over the nice restaurant. These places are about good authentic mexican tacos at a severely discounted price. Taqueria Lopez was no different. I ordered two tacos at first, but when the lady asked me for $4, I thought I should definitely order another (maybe 2 more next time). I ordered a chicken fajita, beef fajita, and picadillo taco. It came out a few minutes later and I was on my way back to the office. The chicken fajita one was okay (but I'm not a huge chicken person anyways), but both beef ones were delicious. I'd say they are about 3/4 the size of a Taco Deli taco, at over half the price. Don't expect any fancy toppings, just cilantro, onions, and salsa - all you need in a taco. I didn't ask for any specific salsa, but the default was provided. It was pretty good, with a little bit of a kick. Just the right amount of spice for me. I'm guessing they have hotter options available on request. read more

I would have to say this is one of the best go to joint for some authentic Mexican Tacos (they serve other food also like burritos =), south of Benwhite (HW71). They serve a good variety of tacos from lengua, any breakfast tacos, carne guisada, al pastor, chorizo, and much more. I usually get the beef fajita with beans and queso - $3, and it is so good that it will get your mouth watery. Their service is fast and you cannot beat the price on their tacos. I recommend this place after a long night of drinking as well. They serve, in my opinion, the best menudo ( unfortunately weekends only) in the area of South Austin. If you're up for a cheap date and you're trying to impress your partner, this is the place to go. P.S. no mingling on the side of the food truck. I do recommend this place! read more

It's hard for me to write a full on review because I'm enjoying these tacos right now. They are just so good I felt like I owed it to the couple who made me lunch to get them a review out asap. The truck is in a dinky gas station, but aesthetics aside, the tacos themselves are done right. Extremely delicious, hot hot hot, the right amount of spicy (my tolerance is above average), and the price. is. right. $9 for 5 tacos: 2 barbacoa, 2 al pastor, and a picadillo. read more

Waah. Development…read moreand gentrification are destroying the great food truck courts of First Street. Many of the finest ones have either closed or are draining out. What's the issue? Landlords want the land to build new high density apartment buildings. * * * Double Waah. The Bouldin Creek Food Park is still around. Bouldin Creek Food Park is probably the worst of the traditional First Street food courts. It is the northernmost of the First Street food courts - the one nearest to Palmer Auditorium and downtown. It is on a teeny tiny strip of land between First Street itself and the gulch of East Bouldin Creek. The lot is too narrow and oddly shaped to permit high density development. So the landlords are going to leave this place alone. Just as there is precious little room for development, There is also precious little room for the food trucks and the parking. So simply from lack of space, the customers sit practically on First Street itself. The eating tables get the full blast of First Street traffic. The eaters get the noise and the carbon monoxide. They also get the uncompromising blast of the Austin summer sun There is one exception to the rule. If you look carefully, you will find exactly one table in the back that is rustic, quiet and pretty. The East Bouldin Creek Gulch runs there. The gulch has lots of shade and really nice rock cliffs. Picnic heaven? No such luck. The back is where they dump the detritus and spare junk from the food trucks. The back has pallets, framing and extra plastic bottles the carts don't have room for. You are in a eating in a trash pile, a shady trash pile but still a trash pile. * * * Life gets more interesting if you have to go to the bathroom. The bathroom literally is a porta-potty. To be fair, they empty it frequently, so it is not too gross. However, there is no running water to wash your hands after you do your business. Not being able to wash your hands is not great if you intend to eat food afterwards. * * * If the food trucks were absolutely marvelous, one might tolerate the bad location and set-up. The trucks they have are run of the mill. Dawa is better than run of the mill. The rest are ho hum. All of these trucks would be more pleasant in a nicer location. Mueller for example would be a huge promotion for any of them. If you have a food truck you adore, and Bouldin Creek is where it happens to be, all power to you. Enjoy your meal. Enjoy watching the cars drive by. Be sure to go to the bathroom before you leave the house.

One such spot has been El Super Taco, which is east of I-35 and a stone's throw from the airport. While I wouldn't call their food super per se, I would note that they've been a solid option practically every time. (#1) The truck itself is parked at an old gas station, which they've converted to an outdoor dining space complete with parking and picnic benches for folks who want to chow down on the spot. During the pandemic they had built an where they take payment straight through a window and of course, it's cash only. The wait isn't too long for the food and during their heydey, the tables were usually filled with people. At 2AM, not so much. Unlike the Houston taco scene, they have asada (#2) as one of their choice meats, followed by pastor, barbacoa, cecina, pollo, chicharron, campechano, and deshebrada. The latter is a shredded beef that has been one of their best sellers and is not commonly found at most taco spots. Their barbacoa and pastor are good, but they are commonly sold out before their night is over. They also have breakfast tacos during select times of the day, and that's do a very good huevos based taco with nopales or tocino or salchipapa or the classic chorizo and/or spinach. The tortas, sopes, quesadillas, and sincronizadas are worth considering, but the gorditas and tostadas are very underrated. Speaking Spanish isn't required (#3), it is helpful. The staff is quite good about expediting the food, especially when there is a line. It hasn't been a problem during their later hours and there's been plenty of seating. Lastly, I recommend taco selfies for that sick mural. Most taco stands / trucks won't have something that artistic, so I recommend taking advantage of it while it's still here. ___________ (#1) Consistency and reliability. It matters in life and in tacos. (#2) Seriously, what's the deal with the meat "fajita" in Houston? (#3) Welcome to Austin!

Almost no chorizo. Eggs weren't fluffy. Won't order again. Carnitas were dry, but not bad. A lot of meat. Carne Gisada was the winner. Really good. Will buy again. Moist. Tasty. Tons of meat.

My best friend strongly recommended this taco shop to try if I'm ever in Austin, stating it's her…read morefav taco place so of course I had high expectations. The place is tucked behind a bar and the seating area is in an outdoor area. It didn't take a long time for the tacos to be ready, less than ten minutes. The tacos were delicious! I loved the beef taco, the meat was well seasoned and the tortilla was fresh. Normally I really don't like pulled pork anything so I was worried of the carnitas but my friend insisted I try it and I'm glad that I did. It was chopped enough that I didn't notice it's pulled pork and it has some nice crunch in it as well. I liked the beef taco so much that I came back for another. While the tacos are on the pricier end, I feel it's worth it. I'd definitely recommend this taco shop :)

There is a mandatory 20% tip if you spend $10+, but they had the best chicken tacos I've ever had…read more I liked the atmosphere -- there's a patio in the back, perfect for large groups.

And you can smell the goodness before you could park your car. I got the ramen with taquitos, so all the meat you get is in the taquitos. You let the taquitos soak in the consume a bit and all the sauce, the cheese, the ramen and the meat makes a heavenly bite. It's definitely enough to fill you up. If you order just the ramen, I think it'll be meat in the consume, so I'll try that next time. And believe me, there's going to be a next next time. I'm so glad I found this place. Keep doing what you do best, Queen!!! PS: Phone number is a landline so don't be a silly goose like me who texted, and just call!

I stand by what I said over a year ago: The pasta, sauces, hoagies, salads, meatballs, and more are made with love and the freshest ingredients. Even a simple dish like angel hair with marinara invokes memories Sunday gravy in my Nana's kitchen. They're conveniently located in Valhalla in the loft above the second bar and stage area. It's a cozy little spot with minimal seating that makes for a good spot to eat dinner and watch a band or have a romantic, authentic Italian meal with your loved one. Real deal couple who love what they do and you can taste it in every bite.

This place has been HEAVY hyped on my insta feeds, so it's been on my must try list for months…read more Unfortunately that was to its detriment as I may have expected too much! Pros: -hidden upstairs in a dive bar on red river (to some this is a con, but this is hella cool to me) -garlic bread (fire, you'll fill up fast on this so make sure you go with a group) -freshly made pasta -massive portions for the price (again, go with a group!) -great people working there Cons: -fettuccine Alfredo (I am a picky girl when it comes to my alfredo sauce and while theirs is objectively good.. it was not to my taste) -takeaway (ok.. so Italian food doesn't travel well and that's not on them, but there has to be a better way to package so that things can reheat well OR retain their heat without getting soggy) Overall, if I'm drinking in the area, I'll go. Otherwise, I'm sticking to my fav spots.

It's got lots of picnic tables for sitting and eating. There is a perfect balance of produce, ready made food, and handmade items. Notable Vendors: -The Thai Street Food stall is amazing. -There is a lady that comes and brings her adorable knitted stuffed animals! -A vendor selling dumplings we definitely want to try next time! -A stand making fresh lemonade that my BF said was the best lemonade he has ever had.

Every time we head up to the lake house in LBJ we make a point to come here on Sunday. We load a cooler to take back home with us! Our main stops are: 1. Capital City Ceviche - they make Hawaiian poke just like back home in Hawaii. Since moving to Texas, that was something we haven't been able to find that is good. But here.....OMG the best! 2. JW Seafood - specifically when in season, the fresh oysters are amazing! 3. Prairie's Prairies- they have quality French pastries and baked goods. We love their scones, croissants, and their puffs....oh yum! 4. Goodie Dumplings- They make them fresh on site or have frozen to take home. They have everything from veggie, chicken, beef, pork, and seafood! This are so good. It is usually a snack while we walk around and then we take some to go to add to our ramen at home. They add a lot of vendors throughout the year which is fun! They have craft items as well which we have even bought a few items from those booths as well. Next time you're in Spicewood on a Sunday, be sure to stop in! :)
