Probably the very best carnitas I’ve ever had anywhere! Love the way they crisp it up before they serve it

This has to be some of the greatest traditional Mexican food I’ve ever tasted and it’s actually affordable. Very much worth the trip out of the city.

Review: Gorditas made to order, Refreshing Jamaica agua fresca and friendly service it doesn't get better than that. Their gorditas were spot on, not too thick where the maza is overpowering and their fillings are popping with flavor. Their Rajas & Queso Fresco was amazing the poblano peppers added a mild smoky heat which was cooled down with the queso and it paired beautifully with their spicy salsa roja. The Desebrada gorditas was juicy, complicated with onions and cilantro. Adding their salsa verde just elevated it giving it freshness and acidity from the tomatillo. Their sopes were tasty with the saltiness from the refried beans as the base then Alpastor which is their spin on it but still good topped with tomato, lettuce, queso fresco, sour cream and avocado. Highly recommend and hope to go back to try some of their other items like their tacos and tortas. Rating: 10/10 Gorditas: Alli’s unique maza pockets prepared at the moment. They take 10-15 minutes to be ready. One of the most traditional and authentic item on our menu. (Cheese, Sour Cream, and extra Avocado additional charge) Desebrada: slow cooked marinated shredded beef. Rajas & Queso Fresco: Sauteed Poblano peppers and Queso Fresco. Sopes: Three mini-sopes with refried beans, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, avocado and queso fresco. Your choice of ONE of the following meats: Carnitas, Bistec, Pastor or Chicken. Alpastor: smoked marinated pork

Wow, the food is absolutely incredible. The location will be a turn off for some, but give it a try, some of the best Mexican food in Austin. The prices are super low too. We feed a family of three for $20!

Paid $19.20 this morning for a very underwhelming breakfast bowl and a cup of good coffee. I should have had just the coffee and looked elsewhere for breakfast. I ordered the “Casualita Mexicana” but was served the “Casualita Americana”. Menu indicated $12.99 but receipt said $13.99. This dish was topped with too much low quality jack cheese then microwaved to ensure that the entire bowl was covered in a sticky, nasty mess. The cook arrived exactly two minutes before the place opened which indicates that everything but the eggs and coffee were carried over from the day before. Not impressed.
