"The quickly growing taco shop is known for its flavorful carnitas, which is served in fluffy tortillas. All locations are good bets for avoiding the SXSW crowds, including this North Austin one. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are indoor dine-in areas." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury
