    Birria Tacos
    Beverly S.

    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.

    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.

    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
    Jocelyne V.

    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!

    Fish taco

    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!

Once you're inside, though, the whole operation runs with impressive efficiency. You order at the register, take your receipt, and hand it off to one of the taco guys behind the counter. As the sign says, "No Ticket, No Taco!" so don't lose it. Seating is limited and the line can get long, but they move fast. And don't come expecting cheese or sour cream -- the only add‑ons here are cilantro, onions, salsa, and guacamole. It's a stripped‑down menu, and they stick to it. The tacos are solid. The beef isn't anything remarkable, but the chicken is tender, moist, and genuinely flavorful. The quesadilla is the sleeper hit; the baked cheese gives it a deep, savory punch that outshines the tacos. And if you're hungry or just want the best value, the burritos are enormous -- stuffed right up to the tortilla's structural limit. A hidden little alley spot that delivers quick service, simple options, and reliably good food once you manage to find the door.

These flavors make it all the way into every bite, carried by a guacamole sauce that'll coat your tongue. Everyone I saw there left their plates empty. If you go - and you'll feel more alive if you do - make sure to accept the works. The onions and cilantro greatly balance each bite, while the salsa and guacamole are necessary and fundamental to tying the flavors together.. Despite their popularity, service remains lightning fast. The reluctantly bilingual cooks practically seize your order ticket to guide you through the process. This is my second taco journey to Austin and I haven't found better.

Both incredible and not too hot. I had the sirloin tampiqueño. I have never tasted steak so flavorful in my lifetime. Addictive and so tender and beautifully seasoned I couldn't even speak except for the mmmmm's... don't let the thin slice fool you. It was incredible!!! We also got the Friday night special Saudero taco on the HOMEMADE buttery delicious flour tortilla. Again the steak pieces in there were fantastic. The regular picadillo crispy taco was probably the best I've ever had. Homemade deep fried thick shells. Margaritas were expensive and small, but done RIGHT. Sam made them by hand not from a mix.

We've had to wait about 45 mins for a table of 2 for lunch on a weekday, and the food is worth it. Be smart, plan ahead by several days and make a reservation on their website.

I had one pretty big issue with waitstaff on my first visit, but that was quickly addressed by management and resolved in way that they've gained a customer for life. Can't speak highly enough of management.

Arriba Abajo as you walked in just gave me all the vibes of a happening place when you want to hang out with friends and have a great time. We ordered the braised ribs rolled tacos for appetizers. It was so fresh and kicking' with all kinds of flavors. I wish I had ordered another one. The avocado sauce layered on the bottom was just enough to keep wanting more. For lunch I ordered the Carneasada Fajitas with chimichurri and my husband ordered the Carneasada Taqueria. With my fajitas came a side of frijoles, green rice & flour tortillas. Corn flour was the other option. Both meals came in pipin' hot & the smell coming from both was very aromatic, zesty & spice. Amazing taste, flavors, just the right amount of marinade on the Carneasada with a hint of lime. It was so delicious while enjoying the ambiance. Our server was a delight and took very good care of us.

We made a reservation for inside, and upon arrival, the staff mentioned that'd we'd have to wait quite some time for our table. Instead, they suggested an outside table wouldn't be too bad. We were happy to accommodate, but then the service was noticeably slow (both for drinks and for food). Price points were high (but, I suppose not unexpected for a hotel restaurant). The spot we were in just felt like limbo between guests enjoying the pool and people inside enjoying A/C and good music. May give it another shot down the road.

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
