Taqueria Hugo

You can taste in each bite it is home made; the tortillas, the marinated meats, everything down to the different daily special fruit drink. No mass production, just you and your taco. No caniving, swindling, or tricks... just a good business, making good food, at a good price. I will be coming back soon with new people, hungry for more. Like their tacos there is no need for fluffy or modifying the truth of the delicious business.

You might drive right past this blue trailer and picnic tables because there are usually several cars parked in front. And don't confuse it for the one around the block, use pics for reference, this is truly a hidden gem! Easily the best tacos I've had in Austin. I'm from Southern California and have loved authentic Mexican tacos for years. The kinds that don't really need salsa because the meat is so well cooked and seasoned. They come with cilantro and onions and you can add Grilled onions too. They come in 5 types my favorite are the Chicken, carnitas, and suadero (brisket). They make killer quesadillas, fried quail, menudo and their breakfast tacos are choice as well. They have some killer cantelope, pineapple, and strawberry jugos that are delicious. They only accept cash, but if you are kind and ask, you might be able to Cash App. The family that runs this stand is so nice and mostly speak Spanish, but the daughter speaks English quite well. I have fallen in love with this place and you will too after that first bite!

On the hunt for the new location of the El As del Taco truck, I traversed the entire length of Burleson Rd. Alas, there was no El As. But there were other opportunities to get my taco stalking fix. In the lot of a Tejano club stood an unmarked taco trailer, emblazoned with posters for a boxing match. Several scantily-clad mamacitas lingered about. Key variables which are highly associated with great tacos. And another one: Handmade corn tortillas - check. And a surprise treat on the menu: Quail enchiladas. Already full from another taco run just an hour ago, I had no room for the quail, so I ordered a mere beef fajita taco. I fell for it at first bite. There was a certain astringency to it that was beguiling and led to the heat from a pickled mix of onions and habaneros. The meat was expertly charred and deep-flavored. The mid-thickness corn tortilla, hecha a mano, was flawless. Before I finished it, I had already ordered another with suadero. A repeat of the first, with unexpected sauteed onions pushing the experience onto another level. The ladies who run it are from Michoacan, but they don't serve carnitas; I'll return to see if the quail makes up for that.

The barbacoa quesadilla dorada was 10/10. A little pricey but good af. Great Mexican food

Chicken tacos on corn tortillas are awesome & for me that is a lot to say. Im very picky. I got one & had to come get two more. Must try. Delicious. Exited to try some of the other menue items.

Best bacon and egg tacos in town. Get them on corn tortillas!

Convenient taco truck right off the highway. Service is always great! The al pastor taco is my go-to & I really like the flavor of their salsas. Also, the club next door provides good ambiance. Andddd they're open until 2AM for those late night munchies- major bonus.

Was so excited to try this place as we have been craving something equivalent to Mexico City street food. The food was good but we definitely got ripped off. $10/piece for a Gordita is insane. $40 for 4 gorditas and they don't tell you the price until after they make your food. Will never consider this place again and steer anyone we know clear of it.

This place is amazing and the food is great. Taste of Mexico in each bite. Menudo is the best I have had in Austin and just the right thing for a hanover.

Great goat (chivo) tacos. Only available on Saturday and Sunday before they run out (around 1 or so). Best stop near the airport for authentic tacos. Owners are from Michoacán.
