Authentic Mexican street tacos and elote served open-air
"As Steve Jobs one said: “Do not try to do everything. Do one thing well.” This is the mantra at Discada, where they only offer a single taco blending marinated beef, pork, and veggies that have been cooked on a large wok-like apparatus called a discada and served on a corn tortilla. They come topped with onion, cilantro, and pineapple, and they’re delicious. If you’re the indecisive type, the only choice you’ll have to make is if you’ll be ordering three, five, or eight, followed by whether or not you’ll be ordering more." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"We like places that do one thing exceptionally well, and that’s the philosophy at Discada. This taco truck only offers a single taco option blending marinated beef, pork, and vegetables that have been cooked on a large wok-like apparatus called a discada and served on a corn tortilla. They come topped with onion, cilantro, and pineapple, and they’re each small enough to take down in about two bites. If you’re the indecisive type, the only choice you’ll have to make is if you’ll be ordering three, five, or eight, followed by whether you’ll be ordering more." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"Discada refers to the Northern Mexican style of cooking meat and vegetables using a kind of “cowboy wok,” wherein meat and vegetables are layered, cooked in the juice from the previous layer, and then stuffed into a taco. This signature taco is the only type Discada serves on its breakfast and lunch menus, accompanied by a side of salsa and lime, but diners can pair it with an order of elote. Takeout orders can be placed online, or hit the communal tables to see what everyone else ordered." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Decisions are difficult. Corn or flour? Red or green salsa? Bacon or chorizo with your eggs? It can all be too much (especially after already eating four tacos). Conveniently, Discada only offers one kind of taco, which blends beef, pork, and veggies that have been cooked on a large wok-like apparatus called a discada and served exclusively on a corn tortilla. The tacos come topped with onion, cilantro, and pineapple, and they’re delicious. Here, the only choice you’ll have to make is if you’ll be ordering three, five, or eight—followed by whether or not to order one more." - nicolai mccrary
"The little Central East Austin food truck introduced Austin to the wonders of its namesake taco — where layers of beef, pork, and vegetables are cooked once at time in the previous layer’s juices, and then it’s all put in really tasty corn tortillas with the works. It’s perfection in taco form. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
