Taco Bronco

I had this at ACL and could not have been happier. The brisket and pork tacos were both on fire - amazing!

I used to live for tacos until my waistband became too tight. I then decided to give up the tortillas whenever I had the chance. Its really difficult to say no to tortillas! I mean, breakfast, street tacos, burritos and wraps. They're just so handy and tasty. Now then, I ran into some fine people at ACL Fest a few weeks ago who were eating some damn good looking tacos. They recommended the Taco Bronco food stand and I knew I was going to have a date with handheld goodness. I eventually made it to the pop up and ordered two tacos. They were so flavorful, plentiful and filling. I went back the last day of the festival and had two more tacos. The employee that helped me told me that they were part of the Craft Meats crew at Micklethwait. Surprise!I can tell you this, I've been telling everyone the last couple of weeks that they've got to eat here. Now I'm telling you my friends. Taco Bronco = tortilla allowance.

Batch (home of the mouth-watering brisket kolache) & Micklethwait Craft Meats have taken their relationship to the next level by opening up Taco Bronco on the same lot! Austin has every kind of taco you could imagine, but Taco Bronco still manages to impress.Their Tres Hombres plate is an awesome deal, especially for first-time visitors who can't decide what to try. For $16, you can choose 3 tacos, and it comes with chips & queso, rice, & beans on the side. The El Jefe was the table favorite (it is Micklethwait brisket, after all). I enjoyed the Birria (lamb) as well, and it paired well with the Anaheim Chile (green) sauce. The Javelina seemed a tad dry, but luckily there was plenty of sauce options to add into the mix.Between the kolaches, beers, & now Texas BBQ tacos, I expect the crowds to grow here in the next few months. Get in line while you still can!

Taco Bronco is Tom Micklethwait's foray into tacos and the food is DELICIOUS! The meat is top quality and there's many types to choose from...brisket, carnitas, barbacoa, lamb, sausage. All smoked/cooked to perfection with tons of flavor. + This food truck is in the backyard of BATCH+ Tortilla game is very strong...the corn tortilla has a nice, crisp texture. I really enjoyed this part of the taco.+ Each taco has generous meat filling+ Whoa, salsa and BBQ sauce pairings adds an extra punch. The tamarind BBQ sauce was so good on the barbacoa mini taco!+ If the lamb taco is still there as a special when you go, you should definitely order it. BBQ + TACOS = a happy marriage

Spent the afternoon working at Saddle Up (great set up with WiFi) and these hit the spot at 4pm. Great BBQ tacos! Incredible flavor combos. Meats come from the BBQ food truck next door.

The brisket burrito of my dreams!!!!!!! Super cute taco truck from the micklethwait fam, using the BBQ in tacos, nachos, quesadillas, and the aforementioned BURRITO. Y'all this burrito is called "El Jefe" and it has your choice of meat and potato hash inside, is smothered with queso and sour cream, guac, hot sauce, and homemade pickles on the side. I died and went to heaven. It's a fork and knife kind of situation for sure, but it packs in the flavor and is worth every bite. I'll be back to try the other items for sure!!

Got take out from here with some friends and I am a happy girl. Super flavorful food; we got the El Jefe burrito (whoa buddy they are not kidding around with the size), a few tacos and a few quesadillas. So, so good!

This fantastic food truck is located in the backyard of Saddle Up. They offer tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and nachos- including veggie options. My sister and I split the El Jefe burrito. It was huge and very tasty!! Shredded brisket and a potato hash inside, topped with queso, sour cream, pico, and jalapeños with guac on the side. Omg just typing this makes me want to go back and order another one. FYI- they only accept credit cards.

My husband has been following Taco Bronco on Instagram for a bit waiting for them to open behind Batch, so we were thrilled to find out we could pop in to their soft launch this weekend. The truck is situated behind Batch so there's plenty of room and tables (although I suspect they'll need more tables outside ASAP!) and it's a great location for meeting up with a group or spending time outside. The menu was decently sized, with six taco options, and an additional taco special, three sandwhich options, several sides, and a few nacho options as well. I was happy to see that even for a barbecue truck, there were some vegan options on the menu--well done! They even have some share platters if you're looking to do more of a barbecue experience. My husband ordered the tres hombres platter which includes three tacos of your choice, chips with queso, rice, and beans. He picked the jefe (brisket), javelina (carnitas), and verraco (boar sausage) and we really enjoyed them all. These tacos are pretty decently sized, and packed with fillings that make them more of a meal that some other taco spots do. The brisket one included a yummy potato hash and a creamy sauce, I think that would be my go to next time for sure. Super tender, nice bark, can't beat it. The rice was good, the beans were super flavorful and a bit spicy, and chips and queso are always good around here. The meal was a great deal--$16 total when each taco alone is $5. Really enjoyed this meal and the service was great. Looking forward to popping in the future!

Great food! Two of us shared The Tres Hombres platter with the el Jefe, Javelina and the lamb taco special. Loved all the tacos but the el Jefe was our favorite! Loved the beans and rice! Plenty of food for two for only $16.
