"The Mexican bakery with two locations (this in Wooten and the other in far south Austin) makes use of its made-on-the-premises breads for stellar tortas, from the Chilanga with milanesa, ham, and chorizo to the Hawaiana with pineapple. Takeout orders can be placed in person." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
"Sip an agua fresca with your breakfast tacos. Both the Wooten and the South Austin locations serve seasonal flavors, including horchata, melon, sandía, pineapple, and others. Takeout orders can be placed in person or online." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Equal parts panaderia and taqueria, Mi Tradición is a good idea at any time of the day. In the morning we’re grabbing conchas, polvorones, and breakfast tacos on homemade tortillas. At lunch, even more tacos, plus tortas made on bread baked fresh just a few feet away. And in the evenings, we’re bringing home an entire tres leches cake to graze on over the next few days. Mi Tradición has two locations, both with the same menu and format—there’s a dine-in taqueria side and a self-serve bakery side where you can quickly load a tray up with way too many pastries to take home. It’s usually well-stocked, but get there in the morning or afternoon to ensure you don’t miss out on any pan dulce. " - nicolai mccrary
"Equal parts panaderia and taqueria, Mi Tradición is a one-stop-shop for tacos, conchas, and everything in between. The tlacoyos here are excellent—stuffed with beans and epazote, and topped with nopales, crema, and cotija—and we usually like to pepper in some huaraches, picaditas, and whatever else arrives on the blue corn masa. But the gringa pastor served on housemade flour tortillas might be our favorite thing here, packed full of tender pork, sweet pineapple, and a bit of salty cheese for a perfectly balanced bite every time. On the way out, grab a box full of pastries from the bakery side of the shop to get you through the rest of the week. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Existing as equal parts panaderia and taqueria, Mi Tradicion wears many hats, and it wears them well. There are some really interesting specialties—including a plate-sized taco stuffed with rice, beans, and a fried chile relleno—but our favorite here is the bistek. It’s seasoned well and cut just thick enough to keep each bite juicy without getting chewy. After you eat just a few too many, stop at the bakery and grab some excellent conchas for the drive home. What to get: Bistek tacos, chile relleno tacos de arroz " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
