"The breakfast tacos at El Tacorrido won’t change the world, but they’re consistent, dependable, and very affordable. In contrast to every other place on this list however, El Tacorrido conveniently has drive-thrus at all their locations, so you won’t even have to get out of your car. Inconveniently, sometimes the drive-thru lines can be a little long in the morning. While they have the standard red and green salsas, there's also the spicy and rich molcajete salsa, made with roasted tomato, jalapenos, and serranos. What to get: Chorizo, egg, and cheese; Bacon, egg, beans, and avocado." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"The Burnet Road location of the Austin drive-thru mini-chain dishes up simple but hearty tacos for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For a beverage, order the El Equinox: iced horchata with a shot of espresso. Takeout orders can be placed in person." - Darcie Duttweiler
"El Tacorrido has multiple locations around town, and more likely than not there will be a line of cars backed up in the drive thru. The breakfast tacos are consistent, dependable, and very affordable. While they have the standard red and green salsas, there's also the spicy and rich molcajete salsa, made with roasted tomato, jalapenos, and serranos. We’re most impressed with their dedication to a wide diversity of pork-based tacos, including a textbook carnitas taco and the revuelta taco, a triumvirate that combines cuerita, buche, and carnitas. photo credit: Raphael Brion" - Raphael Brion
