Pueblo Viejo

(From August 2024)Somewhere, I read this was a must-visit for breakfast tacos. As I was departing Austin for Dallas in mid-August, the YELP search led me here in the morning. As soon as I stepped through the door, the smell of warm tortillas, sauteed eggs, and the sizzling chorizo smacked me in the face and I knew I was gonna enjoy the tacos I ordered. For the order, I went with the taco bueno (egg, potato, chorizo & cheese) and the taco margarita (egg, mushrooms, onion, spinach). The order came out quick with some green salsa and napkins. Each bite was a hit and reminded me why breakfast tacos is a heaven-sent in Texas. The tortillas were soft on the inside and the fillings were seasoned perfectly.Some of the best breakfast tacos I've found. Austin is lucky to have a gem like this!

Pueblo Viejo is a warm departure from Austin's often over-the-top, overly-"fusioned," inflated Mexican food scene. ("No, I don't want Mexican-Vietnamese fusion food today! Maybe on Thursday, but today I just wanna-plate of good MEXICAN food!") Pueblo Viejo delivers.The restaurant is hidden in the corner of a strip shopping center, and you may have to cruise the parking lot a minute to find it.We visited on a Saturday evening and there was only one other party dining which raised our eyebrows, but the waitress said that they usually get busy later in the evening.I ordered the Enchilada Plate. My kid ordered a Guaca Taco. The chicken enchilada was different, but in an exceptionally good way. My daughter -- who stole several bites -- and I both agreed that there were a lotta flavors going on, one of which we noted was a slight sweetness, but not overly sweet. The pico that accompanied the enchilada was also really good -- again, with a unique and memorable flavor. I didn't try her taco as I was busy working out my own plate.The restaurant and table were clean. The waitress was attentive and friendly. The food was reasonably priced and arrived in good time and most importantly, it was hot.This is a good find My People.

I had a terrible experience at Pueblo Viejo. The tacos and gordita we ordered were ridiculously tiny, and they didn't even include the salsa (that we paid for) with the order. When I called at 4 p.m. on 12/14/24 to ask about a refund because $30 for tortilllas with a small side of meat and lettuce is bonkers, the young girl who answered the phone was incredibly rude. She literally yelled, "I don't know what you want me to do!" before hanging up on me.I tried calling back multiple times, but she refused to answer. I eventually called from my partner's phone, and someone else picked up and was still no help and refused to say the girls name so I could talk with a manager about her--Eli, who said he was a cook. Even then, the young girl outright refused to speak with me.This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable. Not only was the food disappointing, but the customer service was the worst I've ever experienced. I won't be coming back & I will be getting a refund through uber eats.

This place is legit. It's kind of a hole in the wall but don't let that deter you. The tacos are so flavorful and the sauces are sooooo good. You can get your own sauces, and there is also outside seating. The service was fast and friendly. Will definitely add this to my Austin eats list.

The best horchata and breakfast tacos in Austin and also in my life!! Upbeat atmosphere with ample seating inside and out! They also have a whole bar and happy hour which I will come back to try ! Service is always quick and friendly and seriously You cannot leave here without the horchata!

We tried this food truck at the new St Elmo's. Service was fast - we received our meals in less than 10 minutes. Everything looked delicious - but taste wise it was just okay for us! It wasn't as flavorful as other Mexican food trucks we've tried. I don't think I'd return anytime soon for their price point.

I really liked Pueblo Viejo! The price wasn't too high, and I was very full after eating, so the price was worth it!I ordered the taco plate with al pastor and chicharron salsa verde tacos. The chicharron was so good! I can eat it all day. The pork rinds were crispy, chewy, and very flavorful. But I understand if pork rinds don't sound appetizing (more for me to eat heh).The service was good and relatively quick. The restaurant was clean, had music playing, and I didn't use the restroom, but I hope it's clean.I forgot to take a picture before eating, so there's a bite into one of my tacos .

I wish we had this place in Dallas! Was a random stop & I didn't regret it! Fish tacos are phenomenal as for the fresh aguas !

We found this place on a whim and it was delicious! We got a bunch of steak and Al pastor tacos to share, and both were great but the al pastor tacos really hit the spot. Plus we happened to be there on Taco Tuesday, where it was BOGO for al pastor tacos. It tastes different from LA style tacos, which is literally just meat with tortilla. These have more going on; for examples the al pastor tacos have sliced bits of pineapple. We also got a steak quesadilla plate and a steak burrito, both of which were delicious. The salsa that came with the chips was also really good, with a bit of a kick. Service was soo friendly. I actually ordered our initial food, and then went back again to order 4 more al pastor tacos. Then I went back again when the worker came out to tell us that they had made another batch of horchata if we wanted some (we had tried to order some and been told they were out, so we definitely did want it, and I ordered again for a third time lol).

Been coming to Pueblo Viejo for years, and I was pleasantly surprised to see they've blown up in recent years since my last visit. I was living in East Riverside when this Pueblo Viejo location first opened, and I remember coming here while they were soft opening, had no traffic, were giving out free beers to attract customers, and had a whopping 4 total reviews on Yelp.On our most recent visit, we ordered a ton of our favorite tacos, like the Taco Nes, the fish taco, Taco Don Chago, and Taco Mi Madre. Everything was delicious and exactly how we remembered it. Pueblo Viejo has great indoor and outdoor seating, a beer fridge, self-serve salsa bar, and a good selection of drinks. Their interior decor is nice, the service is very friendly, and it's a great place to sit and have a meal.
