Convenient local taco shop for breakfast/lunch crowd. They even have happy hours for later. Seating is outside on plain bench/tables, half in front by the cars, with cover offered by table umbrellas, the other half in a covered patio with fans -- that's important if...you want to minimize insect engagement when eating.
I stop by for breakfast tacos every now and again but to be honest, it's hit and miss. Some mornings the tacos are better than others, you can never be sure of a consistent product.
They have one window for ordering, one for pick up. Today I ordered two migas tacos and a coffee. It was quiet when I parked so I had the order window to myself, but the delays getting any attention from within meant I had a few customers behind me when I ordered. The food and drinks appear out the other window at the front.
When your order is ready they place it out the other window and shout out your name. With passing traffic you might have to check a couple of times to determine if it's yours. I've been there when orders never get picked up, I guess some people get tired waiting.
Today the tacos were ok, loosely wrapped, extremely moist, with the cheese loaded up on one end rather than throughout. The provided sauce was limited in taste and quantity. On the plus side they were hot but not particularly tasty. The coffee was ok. I've had better tacos here so maybe it was a bad day but the slow service and rough accommodations don't really help when you pay the same price here for a sit down breakfast a block away at Mi Madres, where the food is consistently better.
For those driving by, this place is alright. For those visiting Austin, it's probably considered a cool spot but how many more of those do we need here? I'd like to love this place but the inconsistent product and the sloppy service leaves too much to be desired.More
