    Some of the best Tacos in Austin. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Green Chili pork can't be beat. Make it trashy! And they add queso. Speaking of queso, don't miss the green chili queso.

    An Austin required eatery. Get something awesome and slather it in Diablo sauce. Lines can get long but the food is incredible.

    I recommend the Baja Shrimp and Green Chili Pulled Pork. Parking is atrocious at this location so be prepared for a hike when coming to eat. And forget about drive-thru during the lunch rush.

    Not a bad taco on the menu! I go with queso to start, and then either Crossroads, Baja Shrimp, or Green Chile Pork--all on corn tortilla!

    These guys have the most original, creative tacos in Austin. No crispy tacos with ground beef here (those aren't even tacos). Try their Democrat or Republican, or their Green Chile Pork taco, or their

    Love the food, dan good tacos, but damn slow also. Eat here only if you have time to Han a while, NEVER if you are trying to grab a bite on the way to work.

    August Taco of the Month Looks good. Ask for the Scallywag, coconut breaded shrimp, bacon, jack cheese, pickled onions

    If drive thru is backed up before the ordering board, park and go inside - its typically fast and you might run into someone you know.

    Even if you've been in here ten dozen times, always, always, ALWAYS check out the Taco of the Month. If it doesn't sound appetizing, settle for a Brushfire or Democrat instead, you communist.

    Try the Libertarian this month (May 2011). Like libertarianism, it's sooooooo good at first, and then the reality of it leaves you sick to your stomach.

    The Mr. Pink on corn is good, but the tuna can be dried out sometimes. Go for the trailer park trashy and always skip the drive-thru on weekends... takes too long might as well go in.

    Get anything except the Brush Fire. They seem to always use crunchy, green, unripe mangos which are not at all suitable for eating.

    When they have the ace of spades for taco of the month, get it to go! The wrapper keeps it together so u can eat it instead of wearing it.

    Don't park at the daycare! They will tow. The daycare provides the tow truck drivers with the list of people allowed to park there. It is a $200 mistake.
