So good. Worth the trip there. Barbacoa was what I was craving and it's hard to find places that sell it and it also tastes good. It had no fat, seasoned well and juicy! Papa/chorizo was excellent. Beans were so flavored. Ordered Huevos Rancheros plate. So good!!! Great hole in the wall place I've been telling myself for years to try. So glad I finally got there. read more

Honestly, this is a hit. Tough little Mexican restaurant off the highway by the airport. I dropped my wife off for a flight early and hit up Yelp to see what was around. This gritty gem was open early and the breakfast tacos were fantastic and cheap. I did see others having a full breakfast plate and man o man, it looked great. No frills roadside stop, can't complain, and value is great. read more

This place was packed when I showed up for a Saturday lunch. Full parking lot. Almost entirely full of locals. Good sign. Also meant it was a little slow, but that's OK, given the crowd. Had my standard to start with a place. Chorizo and egg on flour and bacon and egg (plus potato) on flour. Cheap. About $3 per taco. Tortillas were great. Properly warmed up and crisped up a bit. Chorizo was good. Not too greasy. Bacon/potato was OK. Potato was a little dry, but still good. The green salsa is really read more

Everything was so authentic tasting and a nice visit close to the airport before boarding. Chips, salsa, tacos, rice, everything so delicious. Feels dirty, old, hole in the wall, but don't feel comfortable drinking tap water there. Order a drink instead. read more

Staff and service here were great, very friendly. Some of the food we loved - pastor, chips and salsa, refried beans. I thought that while the Barbacoa was well cooked and tender, it lacked flavor and was a much smaller portion than the pastor. I would go back for the no frills experience, friendly service, great prices and mostly great food. read more

Food is amazing! Service feels like family and friends! Ambiance is just amazing as well!

I like "dives". Little off the beaten path hole in the wall restaurants. Taqueria Morelos was awesome! At first, I was one of two tables. By the time I was done, the place was getting packed, and I can see why. I had the huevos rancheros, with an extra egg, over easy. Pork chop, which was extra. Plate came with beans and, what I like to call, "my grandma's cut"style potatoes. Not the puffy dice ones. I'm talking about the thin sliced triangular shaped potatoes that all Mexican families' grandmas would make on Saturday and Sunday mornings. You know what I'm talking about. The ranchero sauce was absolutely delicious. Seasoned right and even had chunks of peppers in it. Can't say enough about this plate. Service was great, always checking on me. Very attentive staff and working together when it got busy. This is definitely a go to in my book!! read more

Wow! The outside doesn't look like much but don't let that fool you. The service was great and the food was outstanding! The chips are homemade. The salsa and queso were both phenomenal.

Amazing little taqueria off the highway! Service was amazing. They have the nicest staff! Everyone was super friendly, patient, and always checking on us. We ordered the breakfast tacos and they really hit the spot! Very good! We tried the chorizo, potato, & egg, and the bacon, potato, & egg. Both were super good! And it comes with red and green salsa. Prices are very reasonable. Inside seating was cozy, and they also serve coffee. I'm not a morning person, but this place makes me want to be. Loved having breakfast here at 6am. We were the first ones in the parking lot and by 6:40, the parking area was full. I ordered 3 tacos, but 2 was plenty for me. Saving the 3rd for later. My bf ordered 4 and ate 3. Each breakfast taco was twice the size of a mini food truck taco and was plenty of food for us! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Very authentic experience. The food is great and so it's the service. The ambience can be improve.

Great Mexican food and some of the best salsa I've had as well. Prices are fair and the tacos are really good. Try the enchiladas

Great Nopales and egg breakfast tacos. Tacos were ~3.99 + .50 for cheese. The bean, cheese, and egg were not as flavorful. Went around 5-6AM so I was the only one eating in; however, service was slow because they had a lot of to go orders coming in and out. ~$11 for 2 tacos and a drink. Would definitely recommend even though it seems high for small tacos. read more

This is a little gem that we have been meaning to try every time we took that small road and would see this small red house. We finally got up and went for breakfast. Glad we gave it a try because the food is homemade goodness! The staff is very friendly and give great suggestions. When you walk in you can seat yourself and they will come to your table and they will take your order. When you are done and have your bill you can take it to the front counter and pay on your way out. You don't wait much time considering your getting freshly made food along with the tortillas. I had the barbacoa & egg breakfast plate. Hubby had the chorimigas breakfast plate & a spicy chicharon taco. He loved all the food and said the spicy taco flavor and spice level was on point and excellent. This is our new go to for breakfast and brunch. They do close early so check the hours before you show up. They have a bathroom available as well. They have parking. The place isn't a looker but I go there for their yummy homemade meals and its been a while since we found good food with reasonable prices, so the esthetics is not a factor. I highly recommend this place and we will be back for more! read more

This is my favorite place to get tacos in Austin! The little shack it's located in looks very unassuming, but the tacos they make here are so good. I got the beef fajita tacos, and they are amazing, especially if you add the lime and the salsa they give you. Can't wait to come back! read more

This is usually where I came to munch out after my VA appointments up the street. I now live close by and enjoy hitting them up more often. I love this little spot for breakfast and carne guisada tacos. It's a small spot with a few clustered tables, but the food makes up for what the ambience is lacking. I've enjoyed everything I've gotten from here and recently tried a picadillo taco that was super tasty as well. They are only open till 4pm, so make sure you hit them up early. read more

Had to order seconds! This small but hardy place is a "must try' for food. Within minutes from Austin Bergstrom International Airport, it provided the perfect lunch for our arrival into Austin. My beloved ordered the steak taco. I ordered the steak, potato, cheese. Both were so nice we ordered them twice. The salsa was authentic, so naturally delish. Our server was patient with us overall it was an excellent experience. Like Arnold said in the movie, "we'll be back." read more

OMG! I love the soft and spicy Chicharron Plate here! Absolutely the best I have had in Austin. The salad on the plate had chopped, fresh jalapenos to also help bring up the heat. The rice and beans were both quite good. The Lady had a burrito made up with Al Pastor and then substituted some guacamole instead of rice or beans. It was a monster! The chips, fresh fried, hot, dripping grease and not the heat lamp air cooked chips that are not worth my time. These chips rock, and are served with an excellent salsa. Feed Me Seymour! This is a real hole in the wall with only a few tables, bathrooms that are not too good, (I've seen worse), Mama and family cooking, with more customers than they can handle. It is like a border joint from the early 60's with also heavy influence from Mexico City. Note the small street tacos that are offered. Open at 4AM, they are perfect for the workers in the area and the nearby construction crews. This can result in a zillion tacos order being called in for someone to take to the work crews on location. Thus, when you see them frantically working, you may experience a slowdown in service, but it is worth the wait. These are some of the friendliest people you will meet. A hard working family churning out some good eats. A little knowledge of spanish is helpful, but not necessary. Lunch rush? It is packed. I am not deducting any stars as to the lack of ambiance, not squeaky clean, etc. Reason; I am a fan of the food, not the bathrooms. I come for the food. I wish to try a few more items before stating emphatically that this is my favorite Mexican joint. I must continue testing with utmost care and frequency! Let's see, Mole on Wednesday with dark meat chicken, a fantastic sounding Menudo on Saturday, Torta, Gordita, laws... the Carne Guisada, help me! HELP ME! I will be back mucho! read more

Not a bad spot. Food was pretty tasty. Chips and salsa were excellent. Had the beef fajitas and was pleasantly surprised. Service was good. Quick, responsive. Ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. Building outside looks like a wreck and almost caused us not to go in. Inside not decorated very well. Will go back knowing the building is a disaster, but food good. Enjoy! read more

Authentic Mexican food located off of a busy highway. If you're looking for fresh, authentic, Mexican food then this is the place for you to check out.

I'm telling you the truth right now... I just 4 breakfast tacos, and I can barely speak. The joy I have from such comida bliss is almost indescribable. This is one of those places that, I almost don't want to review because I don't want it getting blown up by hundreds or thousands of people. But at the same time it would be a disservice and an injustice to not let the world know how good it is. Go. Eat. Smile. Be happy. The end. Or is it the beginning of a beautiful friendship? Tike will tell, but so will the tacos. read more

Open early, good tacos, friendly staff! I spend $100+ here every Saturday morning. They have been consistent for the last 4 months that I have been going there.

What's not to love about this hole in the wall close to Austin-Bergstrom airport? Food: Home-cooked goodness. Freshly made tortillas, be it corn or flour, your breakfast tacos are a decent size and the options for fillings are endless. Potato and egg, bacon/potato/egg, chorizo/potato/egg, you name it, they have it. The huevos rancheros has a red sauce full of depth and a kick with the spice. Refried beans are probably made with lard, because they are creamy and delicious. Service: Find your own table and they'll bring out some menus to you. Drinks are out in good time. Food is made to order, and as much of it are breakfast tacos, it can take a bit longer than a fast food joint, but you'll appreciate it when it hits the table. Cost: The huevos rancheros is $5.99! Add sausage for another $2. You can't find anything home-cooked for this kind of price. Overall: You'll probably hit this place up on the way to or from the airport. They have a dirt lot in the back, and most times you'll have no issues finding a spot. The interior is cosy, but it is air-conditioned. read more

Wow! I just moved to Austin from San Antonio and this place reminds me of home. I was skeptical at first because I haven't found good Tex-Mex in Austin. However, after trying this place I wanna go back every day on my lunch break. The chips were warm and homemade, the salsa was perfect, and the queso had a wonderful flavor. The breakfast tacos were good as well, and the service was great! read more

Location location location, we were out by the airport and when its breakfast time in Austin, you look for tacos, right? So to Yelp you go, found this tiny place that was packed on a Saturday morning. Getting potato and egg, chorizo and egg to go was a good plan, no where to sit or really even to stand, had to move around to let people pay, get out the door etc. Outside and inside a bit worn, but you dont eat decor, you eat tacos. So after a 10 minute wait, tacos finally arrive. Potato and egg was a large portion, big chunks of potato. Chorizo and egg, smaller portion but a good size. Only green sauce was provided in the to go sack, not much flavor. Corn tortillas on both were a bit hard, too chewey. I should have specified cheese on the tacos, menu on the wall said chorizo and egg, but at the bottom of the menu it said 25 cents extra for additional cheese, so I understood that to mean cheese was normally included on tacos, apparently not. Disappointing. Bottom line, if you are nearby, an ok place to visit, but dont make a special drive to get here, lots of great taco options in Austin. read more

4 of us placed orders here yesterday and we loved everything! Tacos, quesadillas & burritos... hot, delicious, freshly prepared and generous servings! I wish you were in California. Best last meal in Texas! read more

If they make their own corn tortillas you know it's going to be good. You can easily drive by this place and not give it a second look. I live in the area and it's my go to place for breakfast when I need a migas or breakfast taco fix. The staff is very friendly. I mostly order to-go but they have about 10-12 tables inside. It's small but the service is fast. They are only open 4am-2pm and I believe they are closed on Sundays. read more

Came here for brunch today. The staff is friendly and I can respect the fact that this is a family owned restaurant, but the food was quite a letdown to be honest. I ordered the beef burrito and my wife ordered the beef enchilada with rice and beans. The meat was dry and everything tasted bland with very little flavor. When I asked about getting carne asada with my burrito, I was told that there'd be an extra charge and would cost me a whopping $17. I'm from LA where Mexican restaurants, really GOOD ones, abound... and by LA standards, this would most likely fall near the bottom of the list. Regarding their mini ("street") tacos, the meat options are very limited. You can only choose between fajitas and carnitas (no other meats). I don't mean deter you if this is a restaurant you enjoy... but trust me when I say there are better options. read more

I showed up here with a group after volunteering at the Food Bank. There isn't much in the area for lunch options and the original place we planned to go was closed. If I hadn't been told about the restaurant from someone else, I probably would have never realized it was there. This gave it the fun, local, hole in the wall vibe that I dig and am always looking for around Austin. The location is small and parking is minimal; I really had to squeeze my car into a spot. Inside, there are two small rooms. A group of seven of us took up half the second room. We got there around 11AM, right as the lunch rush was starting and left around 1PM. It is definitely a cute, family owned place! We had a young boy take our drink order and a teen girl take our food order. The only reason I am taking away two stars are because of the wait, everything is made to order so make sure you have a minute or two to spare. They may even need to bring some extra friends to help them out. Also, my order was messed up. I ordered five mini tacos. When ordering, I asked the girl if fajita meant just beef or chicken as well. She told me I could do either, so I ordered chicken. When it came, it was beef. It took 10-15min to flag someone down to tell them, then I had to wait for it to be remade. By the time I got my meal, everyone was finished and leaving. Besides those small things, the food was excellent! The chips are made fresh and we all ooohed and awwwed over their glisten as they were put on the table. The salsa was the best I have had in a long time! Very fresh and not too spicy. My tacos were delicious and piping hot as well; the tortillas were definitely made that morning. One of the girls with me got a breakfast burrito and it was the size of her head! I definitely want to go back again! Let's see if they can change my review to five stars. read more

Pros: great food, great service, and nice people Cons: a bit cramped when it gets very busy I thought I would check out this place after driving by it so many times. Read the reviews and had to try it for my self. The food was delicious. The service was great and I will definitely recommend this place to any friends that drop in. The limemade is homemade and reminds me of how my grandma makes it. The only thing that could of made this better would have been homemade tortillas. But it's understandable that when they are pumping out that amount of food for so many people and so fast if you don't have someone or a machine dedicated to just tortillas you're bound to run out quick. Over all two thumbs up and will be going back to explore more of the menu! read more
