“ The best migas tacos I’ve ever had. They are pretty cheap for a lot of food, never had a bad one here either and I’ve been going for years. That red salsa is perfect in every way. My main taco joint for breakfast tacos. The cold brew is very yummy too, has nice chocolate hints. ”
“ Wanted to try somewhere random in Austin and decided to support my gente this time around. The parking was a little bit of an issue and I wasn’t really sure what I was getting into but man this place did not disappoint. The flavors were a little different that I’m used to in this part of Texas but that was a really good thing. This place was hella busy but everybody there was working their tails off to serve us customers. Great vibes and wonderful service. Great prices for the meal as well. Will definitely be back. ”
