"At Pueblo Viejo, you have options. You can order a simple, excellent breakfast taco like a bacon, egg, and cheese—or if you’re paralyzed by choice, there’s a set menu of more elaborate options. And while most breakfast taco places have two salsas (red and green), Pueblo Viejo has five: pico, tomatillo, creamy jalapeno, roasted habanero, and habanero and ghost chili. So when you’re ordering, just stay calm, follow your heart, and know you can’t go wrong. There are a few locations around town, but our favorite is the trailer down south at Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden (where you can get coffee, beer, and cocktails). What to get: Migas taco; Taco Viejo" - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"[This taco truck] also has great breakfast tacos, and I go there quite a bit. It’s right by Flitch Coffee and there’s another at Cosmic Pickle. There are really good and really bad breakfast tacos in Austin. If you think you can’t mess up a breakfast taco, you absolutely can. Pueblo Viejo has fun items on the menu, and when I go, I try their creations — and I am a person who usually orders the same thing in breakfast tacos. When I was growing up, I worked at my dad’s trucking company, and we ate at the same little place for breakfast tacos for a decade. It put a thin layer of refried beans on them, whether you asked for it or not, and I got used to having it. Now, I always order beans with my breakfast taco. The beans at Pueblo Viejo are incredible. It’s probably a lot of lard and bad stuff, but they’re amazing." - Courtney E. Smith
"The Austin mini-chain has it all: great tacos, online ordering, and several locations across the city. Pueblo’s East Riverside location is a restaurant with indoor dine-in service, while the others exist in truck form in Dawson at Cosmic Coffee, McKinney at Meanwhile Brewing, and up North at St. Elmo Brewing and Govalle at Flitch Coffee. The Don Chago taco, a must-order, is the best combination of beans, cheese, bacon, and avocado. For more seating options, dine at Pueblo’s trucks, which are all hosted at sites with indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Erin Russell
"Get a classic horchata at one of the many locations of the taco truck/restaurant mini-chain around town, or one of its other flavors from pepina to jamaica. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are typically outdoor dine-in areas with some indoor spaces." - Darcie Duttweiler
"A still-somewhat-secret trailer parked just east of the interstate between Dirty and East 6th, serving traditional tacos. They make some of the best breakfast tacos in town (get the chorizo, egg, and cheese), and are also open until midnight on weekends for all your post-6th Street drinking needs." - Katherine Lewin
