The 22 Best Tacos In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"In a parking lot at Rundberg and Lamar, Tacos El Charly is a cash-only taco truck that doesn’t even open until 7pm. It’s open super late, and there’s almost always a crowd. All the classic fillings are covered here, but the al pastor is the reason to keep coming back. Cooked on a trompo, the al pastor gets shaved thin, crisped up to order, and packed with layers upon layers of flavor. The tacos are small and served on a double corn tortilla—there’s also a self-serve salsa, onion, and cilantro bar. Grab a seat at one of the folding tables in the parking lot after making it through the inevitable line (it moves very fast). What to get: Al pastor tacos on corn (mini or regular); Gringa al pastor (if you like flour tortillas and cheese)." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
