Pollos Asados El Norteno

One of my favorite burritos in Austin and for only about $10! Burrito was generously filled with beef and I'll likely be back soon

I was looking for some legit Mexican food one day, and Pollos Asados El Norteno popped up.They say they make grilled/roasted chicken and stuff. But after trying their chicken and ribs, I'd actually skip those. Their ribs are tough, meat sticks to the bone, and the collagen has not sufficiently broken down; their chicken exterior is embued with spots which are black and bitter. Instead, I'd go for any of the meats they have available to stuff in tacos, gorditas, and tortas.Their charro beans are quite forgettable--quite watery and bland (unseasoned). Their rice is ok. They offer some aqua frescas, but I haven't tried them yet. They also offer some soups, which I still need to try. I did try a platter that had their grilled chicken, ribs, sausage, onion, and jalapeño. Out of those, only the sausage, onion, and jalapeño were delightful to consume.Their tacos, however, are capable of brightening even the dimmest of tastebuds.The place is located in a gas station strip mall. Plenty of parking. Within the establishment, they have a few hardtop booths. You can order in person at the register, or you can order online through their website. On their website, they have an alternate location in Hutto.This place will be on the regular as a taco stop for me.P.S. the associated traffic light for the relevant intersection sometimes has sensor issues.

You walk in and the smell of the food greets you. It's been a while since I've been to a place that really does that. Before you get to the counter you know you're about to have a satisfying meal. The laid it down with the breakfast tacos, and the best part is that the price is right. We went on labor day so I wasn't sure they would be open but I was so happy they were. As for the tacos themselves?

Loved the tacos, very filling especially nice texture on the chicharron, also got the suadero gordita and barbacoa burrito everything was good, packaged well

Anyone that introduce to this place can't stop talking about if after they leave town. Colleagues alway ask about retuning when they visit.Food is great. Service is quick. Tacos, Torta, Chicken and Flautas in that order.

Although there are a few new places that have popped up on 969 (from 973 to 183-our route to pick up the GD) this is still our favorite and most consistent joint we have been to. Our first time eating in, service as usual was great, fast and friendly. We were actually lucky to snag a table as they are always busy. Food does take a bit to come out, but Always hot and fresh...Again, if you haven't tried the Barbacoa, Egg and Cheese...your missing out.

Was looking for a Mexican food restaurant close to our route and found this restaurant. It had good reviews so we tried it. Google took us to a gas station and we were like mmmmmmmm.....gas station food????It turns out the restaurant is on the end of a little strip center. It's not a big place but when we walked in the food smelled sooooo goooood. Not your typical Mexican food restaurant menu like enchiladas, etc. I was sort of disappointed but I got the Fuego plate, others got gorditas, half a chicken and burrito. Lots of food. Everyone raved about how good their food was.

I wrote a bad review of this place a few months ago. But, I couldn't stop myself from giving it a try. Since the poor service I got, the last 10 times or so I've been here the service has been fast and mostly courteous. As a result, I deleted my review. I have not met the owner or anyone from the place about my old negative review, but ya know, I really didn't need to. This place proved itself. There is no denying that my wife and I love this place, especially for the amazing roasted chicken. Unless you like "white people" flour tortillas (as an RGV native that's a big hell nah from me), I would recommend avoiding the flour tortillas and ordering their corn tortillas for all their tacos. The Asada tacos plain, with avocado and cheese, are my go to. You could replace the meat with roasted chicken and it's also incredible. Take them home, sprinkle some salsa, and my my a taste of the RGV. Weekly go to. Usually get a pollo entero for my wife and I. It's delicious! Breakfast tacos are on point, assuming you stick to the corn. I'm an RGV native and those who miss the food can get a taste of home here! My wife is currently sick and I've been ordering her caldo de pollo and she loves it. Highly recommend this place! It's an essential business. It's also especially affordable!

Since moving to Austin this is our #1 Mexican restaurant they are always consistent with the food the seasoning, sauce and of course friendly faces. Tonight we ordered the carne asada papas it was absolutely mouth watering and HUGE portion. I thought I missed Roberto's from Las Vegas after tonight's dinner "who's Roberto's". LolCarnitas quesadillas the hubby can eat this everyday he said it was juicy, cooked to perfection and enough for 2 peopleThis is my go to when we want Mexican food done right

Pollo asado, carnitas and barbacoa are always super good. They don't make their own tortillas but the tacos are still bomb. Last time I ordered for pick up it wasn't ready when I got there but they gave me a big tub of each of the salsas and some extra grilled chilis to make up for it. Place is small but clean.
