    Tasty! Avoid the tortilla if you want and get your tacos in a bowl with shredded lettuce on the bottom.

    Word to the wise: ask for the Mad Cow (beef fajitas, black beans, grilled corn) and Missionary-style Pork (slow-roasted pork w/ guacamole) from the top-secret #sacred menu and thank me later.

    Get the brushfire on corn. It comes with two tortillas. Make two skinny tacos. It's much more manageable that way. I get extra diablo sauce. It's super hot but flavorful.

    Amazing tacos. Don't forget they serve breakfast... 1 taco is all you need to start the day right!

    Go for the Ace of Spades on the secret menu. Sausage, brisket, cheese, queso, diablo sauce, sour cream and a fried egg. It made me a believer.
  • The Tastes that Make the City
    The ace of spades is the best off-menu item in Austin, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Austin. Read more

    The Ranch Hand is a great way to start the day. Also, the Little Nookies are awesome!

    Great food. Be prepared to wait. Lines out the door and only one person taking orders where there are 3 computers. Tons of empty tables.

    The queso is amazing! It has a blob of guacamole and some of their spicy Diablo sauce on top.

    Baja shrimp is my favorite. The sides are good, queso is the best in Austin, and nookies are delicious.

    Seriously good tacos. Get the queso and chips, trailer park (trashy), the democrat, and the green chile pork.

    Fried avocado taco. Go for the off menu item the ace of spades if you're feeling extra hungry.

    If you're hungry and not particularly partial to a political party, try both The Republican and The Democrat. Goodness knows they've got my vote!!

    Alright, sure order the Trailer Park Trashy style, but eat it first above a Green Chili Pork taco so you'll never have to regret losing some of that lovely queso.

    A normal sized human should be satisfied with two tacos. I suggest you push limits and eat more.

    Tired of the monk? Ask for a jack of clubs or an ace of spades for a kick ass breakfas.t taco. Not for the faint of heart

    Get the Street Corn: it's $3.95 for the best roasted corn you'll ever put in your mouth!

    If you like pulled pork, and see this tip in September, try the Washingtonian.
