R19 Taqueria in Lakeway serves up vibrant Cali-Mex dishes like carne asada fries and breakfast tacos in a friendly, casual vibe that feels like home.
"Southern Californian-Mexican restaurant R19 Taqueria is set to close this month, with its final service day at 2422 Ranch Road 620 South being either December 23 or 24. Owner Christopher Haydostian cited insufficient traffic and high costs as reasons for the closure. Initially launched in East Austin in 2020, they expanded with a food truck in 2021 and converted it into a physical restaurant in late 2021 after the original spot closed." - Nadia Chaudhury
"R19 Taqueria, a fast-casual offshoot of Reunión 19, opened in Lakeway after the original restaurant closed. The menu includes California-Mexican dishes such as tacos, burritos, carne asada fries, and new additions like activated charcoal tortillas for seafood, breakfast tacos, queso blanco, and a kids menu. Customers can also purchase marinated meats and house-made tortillas to-go. The venue offers a full bar and televisions for sports viewing. R19 Taqueria is a solo project by Christopher Haydostian, who received support from his partners of Reunión 19." - Erin Russell
