"Originally launched as a food trailer in 1997 by Maria Corbalan and converted into a brick‑and‑mortar in 2006, this locally beloved taco spot became an Austin icon—often described as eclectic and eccentric and credited with capturing the city's 'Keep Austin Weird' spirit. The longtime South Lamar restaurant property was sold in 2020 and the physical location shuttered later that year, but a namesake food truck continued operating and relocated to 1210 Barton Springs Road in 2021. Known for its tacos and drinks, it remains a must‑visit spot with online pickup ordering available." - Nadia Chaudhury
