El Taquito

Really delicious tacos!!! This place came highly recommended and for good reason. I ordered the 6 fiesta taco plate. This my favorite store of taco - small street tacos with just meat, cilantro and onion and hot sauce. Tripas meat was spectacular: Crispy, chewy, fatty and perfection! I also ordered a ln egg and potato taco and an egg and bacon taco - both excellent! I would definitely come back! Also the service was friendly and the restaurant is clean and well lit.

The carne guisada taco on flour + the queso (drizzle it over the taco after you squeeze the lime on it) is so fucking good that I literally will drive across town sometimes to snag one. Chase it down with a Mexican coke and ya that's one of my favorite meals in atx. I get it a couple times a week from this or the Oltorf/1st street location. The staff is always nice and shakes off my poor ability to pronounce my order (my Spanish is like Peggy Hill lololol) but ya I also like to put the salsa roja on it. Oh and they serve breakfast tacos all day but I'm not kidding when I say the carne guisada is what separates them from other taco spots and be prepared for sweat a little -- it's not always super spicy but I would days 1 outta ever 3 trips gets me pretty good

The food here is always fresh and delicious!!! Large portions too-I always have leftovers.I live in north Austin but make sure to go here anytime I am in the area.

What's good in the world of Austin tacos? Well let me give you the 411! El Taquito is killing the game IMHO...a family friend and I decided we wanted to check out a few spots and this was the first...I almost said cancel the rest because El Taquito set the bar so high ...we went in to taste JUST tacos...no sides so here's the low lowWhat did we order?Campechana - this one had me from the jump...3 meats! Bistek,Carnitas and AL Pastor sheeeeesh Bistek Los Famosos - Steak...I would call it AsadaCarnitas - Awesome pork!How did it taste?Ummm damn good! I think that's a category. By far the Campechana was my favorite...the flavors were all on point and there's equal amounts of meat...complimented with the right portion of onions and cilantro!...keeping it classic is the way to my heart! The carnitas wooooo.. yessuh! Tasted fresh...they do make them to order...meaning it's not coming out of a warmer in to the tortilla. The Bistek was flavorful...only knock I had was it felt like they didn't cut the meat against the grain...big deal...chew a lil more it's still goodDid I mention the corn tortillas were FRESH MADE! Final pointsEl Taquito sits at the top of my list currently and it's because the food is super authentic ...the price of approximately $3.50 per taco and the amount of protein in the taco makes this a no Brainer! The fact that the corn tortillas are fresh made dammit man that's a winner....sorry no flour tortillas for a pureist! Like tacos...get yourself over to El Taquito..thank me later

What do you do after you walk 10 miles? Eat. My friend who grew up here in austin recommended El Taquito (and tbh we were in between this and another food truck). I'm so glad we came here. The atmosphere was quaint, had a salsa bar, a decent amount of seating and their own parking lot (woo!)We shared the queso fundido with chorizo, tostadas, 6 taquito special (bistec) & a pastor tacoThe pastor taco stood out the most and will be something I order again. As for the bistec, it was tender and flavorful just like the pastor. The tostada was basically a party on a chip and even with everything on it it stayed crispy and didn't break through. The fundido was delicious (a bit oily with the chorizo) but with any fundido you have to eat it quickly Safe to say I'll return #supportlocal

What an awesome find!!!! We had everything from bean and cheese tacos, chorizo and egg tacos, mugs tacos, and tacos all pastor. Aquas Frescas de lemon and Pina were so fresh!!! This place is clean and well kept. Great music too. Food delivery was quick and care is taken with each order to ensure you were served just as ordered. Highly recommend.

All around great taco spot hidden in Riverside. I came with 3 friends on a Saturday afternoon. There were only a few people in the restaurant. Lots of seating inside, patio seating outside and a toppings bar to the side! My husband and I ordered two special tacos (Al pastor and Barbacoa) and two tacos (chicken and carnitas). Service was super quick and we got our tacos in about 5 min.One thing to note, the special tacos come with 6 mini tacos! Perfect for one person. I LOVED the Al Pastor and Barbacoa tacos. Tortilla was super fresh and the meat was cooked well. The chicken taco was way to watery which made the tortillas soggy. Overall, highly recommend adding this to your taco list!

It is one of the best authentic Mexican street tacos. I came in with a big group, and we tried all the tacos that were on the menu, and they were all delicious. My favorite one was the Chorizo, it was really good. The hot sauce bar looked unattended until we asked them to refill, and they were nice about it to do so. The place looked ok and not so clean at the tables, but we'll the tacos were really good.

The place is good but you don't get what you pay for with the meat by the pound. Ordered a pound of barbacoa and a pound of pastor. We got it for dinner and live near Houston, got it home and the pastor was right at 7 ounces short. They also left one of the salsas out. Overall the meal was good, just a shame they wouldn't invest in a scale when offering meat by the pound. Barbacoa was top notch. Pastor was OK. We will revisit but would just make time to dine in rather than ordering in bulk.

Hidden gem off Riverside. Not crowded on a Friday night, lots of families in here just trying to get their taco fix. I'll follow them. I had the Al pastor tacos, the green salsa is delicious I put it on every bite !
