Austin Taco Project

Laid back little taco joint attached to the Hilton Downtown Austin. Sarah my server was very kind and engaging. Decided to try the shrimp tacos because that was what people recommended. They were fresh and delicious. I'll be back for sure!

Conveniently located inside the downtown Hilton, this spot was a refreshing alternative to the usual bland hotel food. After long workdays, it was the perfect go-to, so much so that I ended up here two nights in a row.The atmosphere was relaxed and slow-paced, which meant easy seating and quick service--a definite win when you're looking to unwind. I spent my time at the bar, where the bartender was friendly and welcoming, making it a great place to kick back. And the tacos? Surprisingly good!If you're staying at the Hilton or nearby, this place is worth checking out for a low-key evening and solid food.

I was staying at the Hilton Austin hotel and needed a quick bite, so I decided to check out Austin Taco Project downstairs--perfect timing since it was happy hour!I started with the Banana Daiquiri. I'll admit, I was hesitant at first, but I'm so glad I gave it a shot. The first sip had a fun banana Laffy Taffy vibe, but the lime really came through and balanced out the sweetness. Surprisingly delicious!For food, I went with the Tater Tots, which were loaded with queso, ground beef, poblano crema, pico, and hot sauce. The portion was generous, and the flavors really came together nicely. Each bite was packed with a delicious mix of cheesy, spicy, and savory goodness.The overall vibe of Austin Taco Project is laid-back and fun, with TVs, a pool table, and games scattered around. It's a great spot to relax, grab a drink, and enjoy some flavorful bites. Highly recommend for anyone staying nearby or looking for a fun happy hour spot!

Grabbed the steak fajitas to eat in our room Quickly prepared, still hot in our room. Strong cumin seasoning served with two tortillas, a lot of rice, black beans and a little pico. It was good and hit the spot late night. $18.00 each and very filling. We could of shared an order. My husband had the tacos a fee days ago and said they were very good.

Updated:A Busser (I think because he served us water when we sat) came over and said he wanted to make it right. That he would make fresh eggs and indeed eggs were freshly cooked however, I can only give them one more star because while I was eating my eggs, I noticed a employee crush one of the bugs that I mentioned below and kick it 3 times across the restaurant to the bar area. WTH Bacon had no flavor but maybe they pull it together for lunch or the alcohol drinks are good but I would never eat here for breakfast. Especially since Austin has so many great breakfast places ‍ Breakfast is terrible Staying at Hilton and the buffet is crazy overpriced 31 and food looks to have been sitting or cooked ages ago so I chose to get 4 fresh eggs and bacon I asked if they made them fresh and just did not grab them from the boxed eggs in Buffett. they said they are made fresh to order and clearly not My glossy cold eggs came right from buffet Had to send back and chose to skip breakfast and Sorry Hilton associates with this place. We will have to find breakfast elsewhere Do not recommend this place Also we've seen 4 bugs on the floor as you see in picture

I could remember if I reviewed this place or not but this is a pretty cool restaurant at the hotel that you can get a quick bite at. My girlfriend and I ate here about a year ago and we used our diamond reward for the breakfast and I got to say the breakfast burritos were really good. I also want to say we had lunch here too or something. I can't remember but I know for a fact we both really enjoyed the breakfast burritos.I believe they still open late, which is nice. If you're looking for a quick bite , this is a spot to give a try. I remember giving them a five star because the breakfast burrito was actually quite good.If you're staying at this hotel, you don't feel like going far. You have some pretty good options here with their food selections .

Only reason for the 4 is the cocktails. I would give this a 5 for cocktails 2 for food. Honestly the vegetarian taco and the shrimp taco were the only ones worth any sort of payment. The others were decent at best. The bartender was our server and he was awesome. Cool little vibe in a hotel but not worth the money. In a place like Austin you would expect banging tacos. This was tacos that made you want to bang your head against the wall in disappointment.

Was in town for a conference and stayed in the hotel attached to this spot. I came in on a Sunday before noon. It was not packed at all so I was greeted and seated super quick. Decided to sit in the bar area. Since I'm in TX, I decided to first try the brisket tacos. These are street taco size and very tasty with a slight kick. Decided to order the asada and crispy fish tacos. Didn't care for the asada but the crispy fish taco was very good. Service is really good here and very attentive. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

I had lunch here during SXSW. Great food and service! The cactus tacos were flavorful and served piping hot (temp, not spice). There is a nice spacious patio next to the light rail. They have gluten free options. My husband has Celiac disease and asked the server about ordering. She was honest and advised they aren't able to accommodate someone with celiac disease (try to avoid cross contamination) due to the use of flour tortillas in addition to corn tortillas. We appreciated her honesty and he opted to just order a drink. So I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone with Celiac disease or a wheat allergy.

Five stars for service and food. Atmosphere feels a little desolate as the location is not quite central -- and it does seem more like a hotel restaurant. I arrived before my friend, and the waiters were kind in allowing me time to linger before she arrived. Happy hour included drinks and some bites - I ordered the chips and salsa. When my friend arrived we split the poke with ahi tuna tacos and nopal tacos. Everything was tasty - especially the generous portion of tuna. Would definitely be perfect if staying in the hotel.
