    The food was good, and the lady who took our order and made the food was super friendly. But it's definitely overpriced for the portion sizes.

    Nice seating area

    Indulging my newfound passion for Birria tacos, I found this place on a list of Austin's best, so I went for lunch on this warm and windy December day. The setting is fun, a parking lot across from Chinatown Center on North Lamar. There's easy parking and covered tables. Service was friendly and presented no challenge to my limited Spanish. I was there for the Birria Tacos, and liked that he asked how many I wanted. Other places have had a set plate of three. I ordered two. I like the consommé I've had for dipping on the side of previous tacos, so I asked for a small. For a drink, a Topo Chico. The menu posted was tattered and torn, with no posted prices, but at a taco truck, I figured it wouldn't be much. The tacos were tasty. The flavor was deep and complex, the cheese nicely gooey. I wished the outside had been grilled to a crisp like I've had at other places, but it was no big deal. The side of consommé was bigger than the tiny dip I was used to, about the size of a small coffee cup, and full of tasty chunks of meat and onion. I was pretty pleased with my lunch. But the bill was a surprise. 21 dollars!? Turns out the tacos were $4 each, which is fine. My "side" of consommé was a hefty $8. More than I bargained for, but I took most of it home and it will make a light lunch. But $5 for a bottle of Topo Chico? Yikes! I got a pretty good lunch, and learned a very good lesson. If the prices aren't posted--ASK!!

    Revolting. WHY ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED!!! Disgraceful. I spent $100+ here giving them multiple chances but won't be back again. If you don't have eggs today, just say so. Or are they just getting by on people who come once and never return? Paid $10 (plus tip) for 3 Migas tacos that were 95% fake velveeta-style cheese with specks of egg and tortilla chips for decoration and a solid mass of what ever that cheese product is made of. No joke there could not have been even one whole egg split among the 3 tacos, maybe 1/2 an egg literally on the top to partially disguise the cheese. Which visibly resembles shredded Mexican velveeta not entirely melted in spite of asking for un poco dorados. Thanks for returning the $10 tho. Won't be back. Another day, spent $20 for 5 tacos, the 3 chicken tacos had 1.5-2 oz. of meat to be generous each and 50% or more was whole chunks of boiled chicken skin.

    Birria tacos

    First time to stop here and I've been passing it even before they had moved here. I picked up the birria tacos and dear god they were great. Full of flavor and the consume for dipping was also great and flavorful. I definitely plan to try some of their other food. I downed one taco before I took a picture.

    Beef cheek tacos, chicharron tacos and birria tacos

    Don't walk, run to this food truck! You know it's legit when the menu is only pictures and you're trying to guess half of it. If you had to only order one item, you have to try their birria tacos : grilled crispy outer cheese shell, gooey melted cheese and birria meat inside. Their consommé was tasty and had deep infused flavors. My husband tried their beef cheek and chicharron tacos as well, just as delicious. We officially found the best birria tacos in Austin and will be back often!

    Our empty stomachs and cash-filled pockets were ready for a taco truck crawl down North Lamar today. But we got blissfully stuck at our first stop, Taquito Aviles! Mario, the delightful owner, recommended the goat tacos with an accompanying goat stew. We also got beef enchiladas with Chile con carne, elote from the gods, and a fish taco. Elote and goat stew, is my new last meal before I die or the meal I could eat everyday for the rest of my life. This glimpse into heaven is soulful, delicious and accepts credit cards.

    Birra Tacos with Queso and small Consume
    Chanel M.

    Felt like tacos yesterday so I visited for the first time in awhile. We ordered 5 Birra Tacos with Queso, 2 small cups of Consume and a Can of Coke which came out to $24. The food was delicious! My daughter later decided to try their Pineapple Aguas Fresca and that was amazing.

    The delicious dish I sampled (#20)
    Paige M.

    The owner greeted me right away and he was so kind, while I was waiting I got to try the #20 & my white taste buds were shot to cloud 9! He's got some great recipes and the family that was having dinner there would agree, the kiddos seemed to like the food & neighborhood cats in the area (as did I). There's plenty of table space and it's nice & clean. Thank you Mario!

    I tried the Birria Tacos here and OH MY GOSH I have not stopped thinking about them. They were so yummy and the service was great! The food truck is run by the sweetest man and he was so kind!! This place is amazing and you definitely need to try it if you're in Austin!

    Birria tacos were perfectly tasty! The only thing was that I didn't get the broth that comes with it unless you order it separately.

    My first visit to T-Loc's Sonora Hot Dogs and wow, what a way to be introduced to this spot!…read more I met up with a fellow Yelper friend and we got there not long after opening, which turned out to be a very smart move. While we were waiting for our food, it suddenly became a whole scene, it was National Hot Dog Day, and the line just kept growing and growing. People were fully committed too, hot dog shirts, hot dog hats, I'm pretty sure I saw a walking hot dog at one point. Add in folks bringing their own ice chests of beer and it felt like a little hot dog party. We decided to go big and ordered every kind of dog they make so we could share and try them all. A super sweet lady brought our order out to us, which I loved. No waiting around trying to hear someone shout out your name. And let me tell you, every single one was damn good. You really can't go wrong here. My favorite ended up being the classic chili cheese dog, because apparently I like to keep it old school, ha. But seriously, Mr. T-Loc knows exactly what he's doing with his chili recipe! I also tried an agua fresca for the first time and now I get the hype. So refreshing and good. Next time, I've got my eye on one of those big burritos because they looked crazy good, no joke. Accessibility wise, they do have accessible parking, which is a huge plus. The seating is a mix of circular and standard picnic tables, some with shade, but not the most wheelchair-friendly setup. They do have a ramp up to the covered area and I made it work by parking at an angle at the end of a table, nothing was getting between me and those dogs. Bottom line, this is a must try spot if you're craving great food and don't skip on the fresh made agua fresca!

I'm not a big fan of beans so I will skip them next time. The hotdog had such a great flavor. The ranch fries were also really good because it had soooooo much cheese. I'm a cheese girl so it was eaten first. I had my food handed I think by the owner and he was also super nice and happy that I tried it! Shout out T-LOC'S!!!!

Never had it before but it did not disappoint. The cut is fatty since it's the head but the meat was tender and delicious. Paired with the homemade tortillas and salsa it was a 10 outta 10. The staff was so kinda and I was able to tour where they cook all the meat. The time and effort that is put into making the food is a true work of art. The TENDERISM was so real . I will be back again to try the other cuts since it was so good . I believe they do tend to sell out so the earlier the better .

It's more of an outdoor, picnic-style setup that honestly feels like you're at a family barbecue, which made the experience even better. The food was excellent. The birria and barbacoa were rich, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell the meat is cooked the traditional way. They also offer traditional cuts like cabeza and lengua. I tried them even though they're not really my personal preference, but I appreciated that they offer those authentic options. What really stood out was the hospitality. The gentleman working there was awesome. He showed us the barbecue pit and even gave me a taste of fresh lamb barbacoa straight from the pit, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. At the end they were already cleaning up and closing, but I asked for a jamaica and he still brought it over and didn't even charge me for it. Great food, authentic cooking, and genuinely friendly people. It felt more like a family cookout than a restaurant, and I'd definitely come back.

Gordough's is one of those places that fully commits to indulgence. I was able to place my order online and schedule for pick up. The order was ready when I arrived. Parking was a bit challenging and the lot was full and they charge for parking. Service was quick, casual, just good energy and fast turnaround.
