I can't believe I just found this place after living in Austin longer than most people reading this have been alive. This place is not just your average taco truck. It's an establishment that's going to be around forever. To begin with, it's open 20 hours a day You can literally have some late night tortas after being out and about all night, fall out of bed I'm the morning and grab some breakfast tacos. I had El chavo torta, it wasn't bad, it wasn't great. My wife ordered 3 tacos and only finished 2, I got the al pastor, which was good. The other two she had were tripas and bistec. She enjoyed them and said the flavor was better than most. When we went they didn't have drinks but since it's attached to a gas station you can grab whatever you want in there. So overall the food is better than average, if they're busy, service might be a bit slow but you absolutely can't beat the convenience of late night food.
Fast and friendly service. I need to come back and try the spinach egg and cheese tacos. I'll be back again. Hidden gem right off 35
I've never been to a better twc truck. I got a Gordita Al pastor and my child got burrito with pastor meat. Extremely tasty, lots of vegetables, onions, cucumbers. It was just fabulous. I will definitely return next time
This is Tacos Las Amazonas on South Congress. Start with this. Really nice people working here. Covered area to eat. This is the way flour tortillas should be done. Not too thick. Crisped up a bit right before plating. Really, really good. Let me chime in here early...the yellow salsa (not the tomatillo one) is pretty spicy. Beware. I did the chorizo and egg and bacon and egg, as usual. I hate the cheese on these, so asked them not to do it. Really good. Both. The bacon was more substantial than most. Lots of eggs in both. I came her previously and the crappy cheese ruined the tacos. Really KEY to omit the cheese.
Awesome, authentic Mexican joint! We are visiting Austin for three days and stopped here already three times! Such a cool, authentic spot! And that horachta! Good prices, fresh ingredients, and good vibes. Open outdoor seating. Open til 3am and popping! Excellent spot.
