    I'd put San Antonio ahead of Austin. A lot of Austin's "affordable" tacos are good, but definitely skew toward appeasing suburbanite tastes.

    That said, the suadero tacos at Suerte are among the best things I've eaten in town. But, the restaurant's price point takes it out of every day consideration.

    Does El Taquito on Riverside still exist? That was the only decent place I found when I lived in Austin from 2006-2010.

    Vera Cruz all natural; has some great tacos in the Austin and Round Rock areas.

    Not native to Austin but the puffy Taco’s at Lupe Tortilla are excellent. Anyone know where to get good puffy tacos in Austin?

    In Lago Vista, Dave’s Taco truck is pretty good as well as Casa Mexico’s truck.

    I like Torchy's, but as far as great Tacos, nah. They don't even have good corn or flour tortillas. I just happen to like their ingredients and hot sauces.

    I forgot the sarcasm tags. I know CF considers Torchys the taco GOAT. They're always good for a salt bomb.

    Wasnt going to bring this to the general taco thread, but it belongs in an Austin specific thread. Not even sure from Houston if any of these even exist anymore but I really want breakfast tacos when I watch it.



    The places he went in Austin were:

    Mi Madre’s
    Joe’s Bakery
    Tacodeli
    Torchy’s
    Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ
    Tamale House East
    Veracruz All Natural
    Pueblo Viejo
    Dai Due Taqueria
    Juan in a Million
    Rosita al Pastor
    El Primo
    Tyson’s Tacos

    That "real deal holyfield" taco from Valentinias TexMex BBQ looks amazing. May have to visit Austin to get one.

    Are you serious? Houston has some of the best breakfast tacos anywhere.

    My Favorites:
    Alamo
    Laredo
    Brothers

    Are you even from Houston?

    Well, since this is the Austin Taco thread, I thought it was best to talk about Austin Tacos.
