This review is so overdue! I've had this place easily 100 times since discovering it a few years ago. Initially I lived in Round Rock and this was my weekend go-to since moving to Elgin I visit less frequently. Today I had a craving, this is hands down the best Birria in town. Service is always great. Ordered 4 Birria tacos and a small consommé. The consommé is full of flavor and has meat in it so it can be eaten with the Birria or as a soup. Also the best menudo in the city. It's ducked off behind Dreamers so if you moving too fast you'll miss it but it's def worth a try..you'll love it.
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
Hidden gem but big player in the birria taco game. This taco truck over by MT supermarket was very good. The owner was so kind and gave helpful recs. He even gave us a free sample of the beef consume! We got the OG goat birria tacos and then a barbacoa birria tacos (apparently you can get almost any taco birria style?). I was originally very confused but that's what the owner made it seem like. Birria for those wondering is fried tacos (kinda like quesadilla?) that you then dip into a flavorful broth to make it extra yummy. Currently they have goat consume (the broth). I am typically not a fan of goat meat but it really worked here because it has nicer flavor profile. It didn't smell like typical goat meat but was so sweet and flavorful. I may have liked it better than the barbacoa! We also got a tostada which was also super good. As well as the elotes. Everything was highly recommended. Don't forget they also have a cooler by the window for all their different salsas! I tried them all! Definitely will be coming back here again for my birria taco cravings.

Once again....another great find on our Adventure Thru ATX hunting Birria Tacos....The customer service is next level to say the least...and the food is equal to that service....Tacos were piping hot and loaded to the max...The American Cheese is a great touch with its gooey qualities...The consome was probably the best yet, as it had a bit of a kick on the spice level....we are both "Hot Heads" when it comes to spice...plenty of meat in the consome as well...Nice hot sauce selection as well...Red was by far our favorite...and so far this place is very central for us, as we frequent this area often...no more just driving by for us! read more

First time here and this is true Mexican food (which is hard to find in Austin). The nice lady taking our order knew it was our first time and gave us entire birria tacos to try, SO GOOD BY THE WAY, ended up ordering two more (she gave me 3, maybe a mistake, maybe a kind gesture? amazing nonetheless) Their al pastor is also delicious and their horchata is AUTHENTIC. None of that powdered stuff, they make it from scratch here and you can taste it. COME HERE. 10/10 RECOMMEND. MUCHAS GRACIAS. NOS ENCANTO. read more

the first man with glasses was a great greeter & we had great customer service. but then, they used american cheese for their birria tacos... which was off putting, and resembled a hamburger to the taste extent. the horchata was really good tho! read more

Such amazing birria tacos!!! Yum!! Taquito Aviles is in an Best Birria Tacos of Austin article. Most of the places in the article are in south Austin. This might be the only one listed in north Austin. Great, friendly service. I'm so happy I live close by. I will be back for sure!! Note: It's a little hard to find because it's set back from Lamar. It's just south of the intersection of Breaker and Lamar, on the east side of Lamar. read more

I've been here a few times over the years and have loved it every time. My last time here was about a year and a half ago. I came back because I remembered how good the food was, and was surprised that Apple Maps says it's closed. Take that as a warning. While the staff was never rude, I will note that the total we were charged was more than we were quoted by the cashier. The food was unrecognizable, compared to what I remembered. The portions were massive, the quesadillas were made up of a strange cheese, and everything was dripping with grease. The horchata looked even worse than it tasted. I know that COVID has hit businesses hard, but it's almost as if the original owners abandoned the space and someone else started operating under their name. 0/10, I will not be going back. read more

OMG! Come here and try the consomé de chivo! It's to die for. Comes with tortillas and side of onions and cilantro. I also had a taco de chicharrón and was perfect; chicharrón was perfectly cooked and had a crunch to it. I've had the agua de horchata and agua de melon and both are superb! Mario, the owner is such a delight and makes you feel like family. You seriously can't go wrong eating here. read more
