The Best New Restaurants In Austin: The Austin Hit List

"At 5pm, the lights come on and the rotisserie starts whirring at Tacos El Gallito. The taco trailer at Barton Springs and Lamar is open nightly until 4am, and the focal point is al pastor. There’s a trompo out front—right next to a few speakers blasting music that makes the crowded parking lot feel like a party—and a self-serve bar with salsas and limes, ensuring you can make your tacos exactly as spicy as you’d like. The menu also includes burritos, tortas, mulitas, and a few other meat options, but make no mistake—you’re here to eat tender, charred al pastor that's shaved straight from the trompo and piled onto housemade corn tortillas.
