El Tacorrido

Best Mexican tacos. I come here at least once a week. Always busy but very fast prompt service. This is one place you must come and visit if your in Austin. Try it and trust me you will love it

Best tacos! And simple menu which is great. It might be small but the business is fast quick and very yummy

it’s open late, 2 dollars a pop, tastes pretty good, what can I say?

This is my favorite place to get tacos in Austin ! Seriously delicious and authentic Mexican food & phenomenal breakfast tacos !! & there’s a drive thru. Heaven.

The best in Austin! Love this place. Carne Asada is my taco of choice. I’ve seen the amount of food that comes out of this place and it all looks and smells amazing! All of the great reviews are well deserved. I will be going back to eat here and I will do another review soon. I go at least twice a week and more when my husband works late. They have great hours and great customer service. When you see this place stop by, trust me you will not be disappointed!

Came here yesterday on a Sunday morning. Carne guisada is amazing, make sure to try that out if you ever come here. They also do a really good job on the breakfast tacos, I ended up getting a couple of those. Very very cheap food, only a couple of dollars per tacos. Food this delicious and filling + very cheap price… leads me to have to hand out a 5 star to these guys. They’re fairly far from my house, but I’ll definitely be coming back here anyways.

I’m normally not crazy about tacos but these were so good! The meat was so tender and flavorful. The green sauce burned my tongue! Cheap and delicious! :)

I love authentic Mexican tacos and this is pretty much that. The only thing I wish was that there was more on the menu to try!

WOW!!! The meats here are amazing! Very authentic mexican meats. Got a half lb of barbocoa and half lb of Revuelta. Both equally amazing, comes with tortillas and salsas, onion and cilantro. Heard the breakfast tacos are on point, ill be sure to update the review once I try them!

Really amazing taco place… one of the best in town. looks like a really small place but gosh they make the best tacos.

*Cards accepted now, and that makes me come here even more often.
Always good! I love this place. I end up stopping by a few times a week. Everyone’s friendly, and the tacos are amazing! The pastor is killer, and my favorite breakfast tacos around.

Ok so I go there with a friend at an ungodly hour… and like the previous posters stated, its pretty sketchy round those parts. omg…yes…like 6 cop cars pulled up outta nowhere and was hanging in the parking lot.
yet the long drive through line moved NOT an inch.
A dude comes round to your window to take your order. limited english, so practice your espanol.
and after tasting one of those delicious pollo flour tacos, I can see why. very flavorful, loaded up with fried bell peppers and onion and fresh chopped onion and cliantro. um um um. The rojo salsa is soooo good and spiced just right.
so yeh, its worth it to venture over there and possibly get caught up in some uncessary drama… but kinda worth it? hahah

I came here a long time ago in the early 2000s when I was unfamiliar with tacos and didn’t return until recently (May 2015). Now with years of taco experience behind me, I consider Tacorrido one of my favorite taco joints around town. It’s up there with Taco More, Taqueria Gardenia, and Matamoros Tacos.
I usually get the breakfast tacos served all day. You pick three ingredients, tortilla type, cilantro and onions, and salsa. I’ve had the red salsa, the light green salsa, and the slightly darker sea green salsa. My favorite would be the sea green salsa so far – it seems to be the spiciest and is tangy. The tacos are overflowing with the three ingredients you picked. I like how their tacos are not greasy like other places.
Tacos are the cheapest around town at only $ 1.75. This location is open until 3 am (though the parking lot and area of town is too sketchy to visit after dark). The drive-​through seems to be just as popular (if not more so) than ordering at the counter. There isn’t much seating indoors since it’s just a stand.
My to-​go order takes noticeably longer than Taco More, but that’s probably just due to the small kitchen they have to work with. The staff is always friendly and there are English speakers for us gringos.
El Tacorrido is the odd-​looking micro-​building in the parking lot at the Southwest quadrant of the North Lamar @ Rundberg intersection. It’s across from Advance Auto Parts.

I’ve upgraded the review to 4 stars on the basis of the «revuelta» taco only. A mix of carnitas, cuerito, & buche, it’s the right kind of flavorful, fatty, and hearty. Only eat one per month unless you want to invite a heart attack!

Love, love, love this place. I am here a couple times a week. Much more than a taco truck. Open late. Drive thru window is super convenient. If the line is long; they will come out and take pre-​orders for the cars in que. Fast service. Tacos are reasonably priced. I like the beef fajita… Yes cilantro and onions please! Lime on the side is always juicy and fresh. Regular olé bacon egg and cheese for breakfast. Bacon is thick cut and a whole piece per taco. Dinner tacos are packaged on to go plates covered in foil. When we order several tacos on flour and several on corn, they will seperate the plates based on this without asking… which is smart. His are corn, mine are flour. Breakfast tacos wrapped in foil. Mexican coke, sangria, soda cans even if you prefer (which I do). Menudo only on the weekends. Family style meat by the pound. They will often have a sign that warns they are only accepting cash.
NOTE…General taco stand gripe: why doesn’t any of them serve sides of rice and beans?? This would greatly enhance my north Lamar taco experience.
Thanks for consistent, quality tacos!

Words cannot describe what my tastebuds are feeing right now. I ordered 4 beef tacos that were absolutely life changing! I wasn’t sure on sauces so I asked for all of them. All of them are delicious. Not only was my order ready fast but it was hot fresh and hands down the best tacos I have ever had. Thank you!

I LOVE THIS PLACE.
The tacos are delish! The green sauce is perfect! They’re always really nice and fast. The drive through is usually packed late at night but I do not care it’s worth the wait to me. Not expensive at all!
If I’m going anywhere for tacos it has to be here.

Great autenthic, late night, cheap taco spot. Simply drive up to order and pick up in the next window in a few minutes. I had the barbacoa and al pastor here a couple times. each taco is jam packed with meat.
Just be cautious with the hot sauce. I thought I could handle spicy, but it’ll rip open your stomach here if you’re not careful with how much you put on!

Some people can’t tell the difference between spice and flavor. That’s the only conclusion I can draw from the negative reviews I read while waiting to eat at El Taccorido.
I ordered two waters (just ran 4 miles) and three meat tacos on corn: Guisada, Reveulta, and Barbacoa. $ 8
These aren’t spicy tacos. They didn’t burn my tongue off.
But the meats in each of these are tender and full of natural slow-​cooked flavor.
The soft, corn tortilla held up well and were among the best I’ve ever had. I should confess that I rarely get corn.
Just to test myself and El Taccorido, I put some salsa and avocado lime spicy stuff on part of my tacos. My tongue was still in tact, but my lips burned like that Violent Femmes song.
The tacos aren’t naturally spicy, but I can make them that way if I want. They are full of flavor and an outstanding dollar-​for-​delicious value.

Had the al pastor and the bistec.
The bistec was very average and typical, a little on the dry side.
The al pastor was different… it was cooked with pineapples, kept it very moist and somewhat sweet.
The place didn’t impress me at all. About a 2.5 if I could.
