This place is old school Tex Mex, flavorful, generous portions, and great service. I've had the taco plate, tampiqeuno and chimichanga, all are excellent. It's worth going to get an authentic Tex Mex experience. read more

I've been to this restaurant many times and have ordered the same thing every time: the caldo de res. According to their menu, it comes with corn, carrots, cabbage, and zucchini. Almost every time I order it, something is missing--sometimes the corn, sometimes the carrots, sometimes the cabbage. But today was by far the worst experience. I was served what was basically beef broth with a little bit of meat, one carrot, and some zucchini. I'm paying $15.49 for this plate, so I don't think it's unreasonable to expect to receive what is actually advertised on the menu. What disappointed me the most, though, was the customer service. When I brought up the issue, no manager ever came to speak with me. The only person who addressed it was the same person who brought the plate to the table, and they still expected me to pay the full price for a dish that didn't even include half of what the menu says it comes with. At that point, it wasn't even about the food anymore--it was about how the situation was handled. A simple apology, some acknowledgment of the problem, or having the person in charge come speak with me would have made a huge difference. Unfortunately, after being a repeat customer and having this happen multiple times, I won't be coming back. The food wasn't the reason I lost my business--the lack of customer service was. read more

* 4.5 stars * Hidden gem. Must come. Traditional Mexican eatery with authentic plates. Got the barbacoa plate and beef enchiladas to be safe since this was our first time. Portions were generous too. Service was attentive. Verde salsa is just the way I like it. Slight cons: TV showing smackdown was a little too loud to enjoy dinner. Fees for using credit card. Parking is plentiful. Will be back. read more

Taqueria Los Altos was a first-time visit for me. Located in a shopping center and they have accessible parking right by the door. The restaurant was very clean with plenty of tables, and the table service was good. My Spanish is pretty limited, so ordering took a little extra back and forth to make sure we got everything right, but everyone was patient and we figured it out. I'm glad we did because the food was worth it. Everything tasted fresh and was made to order. My only complaint was the salsa, which had zero heat to it. I like a little spice, so I was hoping for at least a bit of a kick. My husband ordered an omelet and loved it. I went with the mini taquitos, and they were delicious. Between the friendly service, clean restaurant, and tasty food, this was a great find. Looking forward to trying different menu items the next time we're in the area. read more

Came back to get their standard Enchiladas verde and though it was amazing, it definitely is no Enchiladas à la Diabala!! Of course it also does not share the same price tag with the diabala enchiladas being $2 more- for obvious reasons. One thing about this place though is that their chicken is always made perfectly, so flavorful and tasty, such a refresher from places that have simple plain white shredded chicken.. Also our server today was so sweet!! :) Love this place. read more

Taqueria Los Altos - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

We loved the old location but this new one is awesome! The same friendly staff are there to keep that coffee flowing for breakfast. Like the previous place, there is plenty of parking. Now you can walk over to the movie theater after or before a meal. I had my favorite three of a kind breakfast tacos. The salsa was nice and had medium high heat. Everything tasted great. We really want to come back for their lunch or dinner to try more of their menu and some of those adult beverages. Yum! read more

Aesthetically pleasing. It was a very big, very clean, and not a lot of customers (which is sometimes a sign, judge for yourself). Service was fine, maybe a bit slow. It does make me chuckle when at a Spanish speaking restaurant and they use the informal you instead of formal. That's nothing to quibble over, but worth noting if you care about those distinctions. They still took care of things, although our server left without telling us. The food is affordable but not particularly high quality or flavorful. I would say Chuy's has more flavor. I did like their chips and salsa. I do like to play it safe and get whatever they call the TexMex combo of enchiladas and tacos and whatever else. Now that was a lot of cheese! Portions were adequate. The water glasses are big, but it does drive me crazy when you have to pay for a soda by the can. My partner had a dessert but didn't mention it as particularly special or anything. read more

mediocre hidden mexican spot, nothing special nothing bad just satisfactory. when we visited they ran out of water which was weird and didn't offer us free bottled water, so we ate our meal without water. chips and sals were complimentary. i got the three tacos and did enjoy it however was sad about having no water. will definitely return with hopes that they have water! read more

Nostalgia. This place is very laid back and has a vibe like an old school Mexican get together. Or maybe we just got lucky but they are jammin and people are just enjoying themselves here. The food honestly is very sold especially the combination plate of asada and pastor. Once again felt like my Tia made a plate and served it up. The only thing I would say could be better is the tortillas. They are those Tia Rosa store bought ones, but other than that it's solid. I just ended up eating the meat and taco stuff with the bomb chips they have. Everything was honestly great here from the service, food and vibes. Stop by and grab a bite to eat if you are in the neighborhood. read more

It's unfortunate that highway construction forced a move, but I have been very happy with their original location and expect it to be just fine at its new place. I've mostly visited here for breakfast, and have been served well each time. A must for an enjoyable breakfast is frequent checks for coffee refills, and they consistently deliver. We also have great variety in the breakfast menu, including nopales (cactus) as an ingredient option. A nice quiet place to eat - televisions are set at a sane volume, unlike so many places that encourage turnover via excessive noise. read more

Headed to watch a movie at AFS and came across this gem. My wife has been craving a Tostado, and there was none to be found in the southwest of Austin ! We came across it by accident while waiting to go watch a movie, but will come here on purpose next time. Service: Bueno Ambience: I'm here so it's freaking awesome Margaritas: Yummy Tostado: yummy tambien Enchiladas: bien bueno Sierra Del Fuego, Dos gringos will be back ! read more

I ordered the chicken enchiladas with green salsa. Super cheesy and filling! Minor complaints: never thought I'd say this, but I'd prefer a little less cheese. The salsa verde got lost in it. The chicken in the enchiladas also didn't seem seasoned. It is nothing some salsa can't fix; I prefer tinga style chicken in my enchiladas and that's basically what adding the salsa made it. The chips and salsa could be improved but they got the job done. Overall, I liked the generous portions of good food at great prices, the welcoming service, and nicely remodeled interior. read more

Taqueria Los Altos - #26 Enchiladas (Chicken with Green/Verde Salsa) (sub salad instead of beans) - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Okay -- the food here was fabulous but I couldn't get past how poorly maintained the building was. I got a delicious ground beef burrito with heavenly rice & beans while my friend got a toco plate that looked even better than what I got. While the food and the service were both far better than I would have imagined, the ceiling, the walls, the windows, and virtually everything else was so run down and dirty that it was hard to enjoy. The dirt hanging from the HVAC diffusers was so thick that I wouldn't dare sit below it. The men's room had a ceiling roof leak above it that made it impossible to use the toilet. I loved the food but the building was just too much of a train wreck to really enjoy my visit. read more

A classic establishment with very enjoyable food. The service was very nice and sweet to my party of 6 ! We just finished a 5K today and they were the sweetest people you could've met. The food (carne guisado plate) was a filling meal and was so visually appealing that a neighboring table ordered it as well. In fact, that gentleman was nice enough to spot our whole meal. To keep things short: good things happen here. Cheers read more

Food was good! We went for breakfast and both had migas. My husband had coffee which liked (not too strong). The restaurant was clean and the staff was very attentive but not overly so. read more

Best Mexican food in town! We order different plates each time and have never been disappointed. My favorite is the carne asada plate or the tortilla soup and they are not stingy on the portions. My husband loves the chilaquile plate or the alambre which is carne asada, chicken fajita and sausage with peppers, onions and Monterrey jack on top. They have daily lunch specials for weekdays and happy hour specials as well. But their regular drinks have great prices. If you like birria, the tacos de adobada (Jalisco style BBQ) are very similar. Chips and salsa are free starting at 11 am. They have horchata, tamarindo, & jamaica. They also give you red tomatillo salsa and green jalapeño salsa in bottles! They recently moved to a new location in the same shopping center as Galaxy Theatres on Middle Fiskville Rd. Go try it out! read more

It's hard finding an authentic and affordable tacqueria spot in Austin. Los Altos is definitely a hidden gem right off the freeway. There's plenty of parking, seating, and is never super packed. You seat yourself and the service is super quick with free chips and salsa. Th We ordered the tacos de barbacoa adoba and the tacos de campechanos is very filling and flavorful. They definitely don't skimp on the meat. Each dish comes with salsa de roja and a salsa de avocado in a condiment bottle and we drowned our dish with the avo read more

Great value, the food was super tasty, service was super kind, and the bill was small.

We love Los Altos - great food, great service, nice clean and fast service. I suggest that you give it a try.

So yummy, just looking at the picture I took of my food when I ate there is making me want it again. It was definitely a greasy meal, maybe a tad greasier than I am comfortable with, but maybe that contributed to why the food tasted so good. Prices are reasonable, and food seems pretty authentic! I'll be back when I want to (over)indulge again. read more

Taqueria Los Altos - Tacos Dorados de Barbacoa Adobada - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

I read that this is a hidden gem and I am leaving this review to confirm that it is in fact a hidden gem. Quite small dining room and tucked in on the feeter road. Very affordable and a grand variety of options. Vegetarian options available. I got the carne guisada and the actual meat entree was a 6/10 for me. Only because the sauce was too thick for my liking; however the rice and beans here are superb. Almost better than my moms! and that's saying a lot. They were perfect. The chilaquiles plate was so big and flavorful. Meat was so tender and thin. I didnt take a picture of the tacos but they were amazing. Huge and loaded. Campechanos were the best. Food was great at very good price. Service could have been better but they were okay. Not too much attentiveness. read more

Been looking for some authentic and cheap Mexican breakfast plates, like those at Vasquez. I was thrilled to find this place within walking distance, and thrilled to see their breakfast menu (sometimes you just need more than. Breakfast tacos!) Los Altos more than delivered!

Great little local spot - go show them some love! read more

I have now been here for breakfast and lunch and I can say that this place is one of my newfound favorite holes in the wall. I had the pancake platter and a chorizo, egg, potato taco for breakfast last weekend and it was all incredible. The unsweet tea is sooo good here! I had the tacos campechanos for lunch three weeks ago and was blown away. Their salsa verde is incredible. The wait staff is amazing! They offer a discount if you pay with cash. read more
