"If there are two things that 95% of Austinites can get behind, it’s a great patio and a well-made taco. Throw in an excellent natural wine list, and you’ve just won the heart of every Millennial in Austin. The “dining room” isn’t fancy—it’s a large gravel lot filled with picnic tables outside—but that doesn’t stop half of Austin from wanting to be on it on any given night. Like most taquerias in town, this isn’t the type of place that takes reservations. Just get in line like everybody else and use that time to decide just how many tuna tostadas and duck fat refried bean tacos you’ll be ordering. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
