Tacos La Costeñita

"#1 Pastor in ATX. Fight me about it if you want but I truly recommend this place. ***Updated Review: March 2024*** I stand by my previous claims: Tacos La Costeñita is still the undisputed #1 Pastor in ATX (and possibly beyond!). Fight me about it, but I dare you to find better. Continued prayers for this incredible establishment! Their dedication to quality and flavor never wavers. Today's visit was another testament to their consistent excellence, both in service and food. Pro tip: Don't forget to inquire about the daily specials. You never know what hidden gems you might discover! Additionally, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to the wonderful staff at Tacos La Costeñita. Their warmth and hospitality make every visit feel like coming home. May they continue to thrive and share their culinary passion with the community! ***Updated Review: January 2024*** Holy moly, where do I even begin? Tacos La Costeñita blew my mind (and taste buds) with their incredible migas. Forget your basic breakfast scramble - these are next-level, fire-roasted goodness. We indulged in three variations: classic, pastor, and barbacoa, each bursting with flavor and topped with the holy trinity of cilantro, onion, and that perfect squeeze of lime. Seriously, rewind the video just for that satisfying citrus explosion! But the magic doesn't stop there. Mama's got her sweet tamales on deck, and let me tell you, calling them delicious feels like an understatement. These are sinful in the best way possible, the kind of heavenly bite that makes you question your morals (but you don't care because they're THAT good). Whether you're craving breakfast, lunch, or brunch (heck, who says you can't have tacos for dinner?), Tacos La Costeñita is the spot. Forget the rest, these guys are the real deal. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation - I'm already planning my next visit! Bonus tip: Ask about Mama's tamales. Trust me, you won't regret it. P.S. If you're a visual learner, be sure to check out the accompanying video (wink wink). You'll be drooling in no time! ****Update 12/3/23**** Be sure to ask about the secret menu. ***Updated Review: October 2023*** If you're hunting for the ultimate taco experience in Austin, look no further than Tacos La Costeñita. This place is undoubtedly one of our top favorites for authentic and delicious tacos in the area. Yes, you have to head up, down, or over to Round Rock, but trust me, it is worth it! The real magic here isn't just in their mouthwatering regular menu (which is terrific on its own) but the secret menu that genuinely elevates the taco game. And the best part? We stumbled upon it while filming an episode of our show, "Black Girl Taco Chronicles." The atmosphere is cozy, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable, making it an ideal spot for both taco enthusiasts and newcomers to Mexican cuisine. It's no wonder we chose Tacos La Costeñita for one of our episodes – it's a true Austin taco treasure."

"My go to food truck for tacos. I don't even think about going anywhere else. The staff is always friendly and the food is quick and fresh and just freaking amazing. It's definitely my comfort food and adds so much joy to any day that I get it. I love this food truck!!! You will not be disappointed. My fave? Mexican Steak on corn tortilla. ♥️"

"I've tried many taco spots in the Austin area. Some were good and some were better than good, but this place tops them all! Tacos La Costeñita is an absolute must try for anyone that finds themselves anywhere in TEXAS. That's right, if you live in anywhere in Texas or are just visiting, you would be doing yourself an injustice by not stopping by to taste the masterpiece they serve as tacos. I could go on and on about the flavors that leave you savoring every bite and trust me I want to!! But I can't complete this review without talking about how amazing their customer service is! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Their vibe, along with the care they put into your food, is unmatched! Suggestions: Try everything!! Their Barbacoa tacos are my personal favorite!"
