    Another great taco shop helping make Austin the taco capital of the world. They have a great variety of homemade salsa and have just about any taco you could want. Paco's Pick is a good start.

    Huge list of options with breakfast all day, not as super authentic Mexican as I anticipated but still amazing. Love the El Gringo shrimp taco. $2 mimosas and bloody marys all day on weekends.

    Have the fish taco. Quite yummy. Refried beans need some work (taste like canned, to smooth),as does the rice. The hot sauces are not for the faint of heart. I would visit again.

    Decent Tex mex. friendly staff and spacious outdoor grounds (with summer misters). Disagree that migas are particularly good. Salsa bar is solid tho.

    Pretty small place, but well worth the stop if you're in the area. It holds up against any of the big Austin taco chains.

    The gorditas are like little pockets of awesome. The rice is soooo good and the poblano cream sauce is incredible. Margaret is the nicest restaurant owner I've ever encountered.

    Paco's Pick is simply divine and it has a very reasonable price! Make it a meal with tortilla chips and queso and you are set!

    When the sweet owner couple is around, this place is great, but man when they're gone... This second crew are a bunch of screw ups!

    There's basically no wrong thing to order here. Tacos are a bit on the small side; you won't be disappointed by ordering two.
