"Hiding in the parking lot of Michi Ramen are some of our favorite tacos in Austin. The carnitas are sous vide, and the refried beans are lentils, but this blend of contemporary techniques with traditional flavors bridges a gap we didn’t know Austin needed. There are a ton of salsa varieties here that seem to change out almost daily, including some of our favorite salsa macha in town. Show up on Saturdays to get the trompo al pastor, or show up any day they’re open for some excellent carnitas, bistek, and nopalitos. What to get: Bistec taco; Carnitas taco; Nopalitos taco " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
