Chilaquil tacos with mole, tortas, and breakfast tacos
"I love that Granny’s brings mole to breakfast: what started in 2016 as María Rios’s remodeled-ambulance food truck now spans three locations run by her son Rey, serving multigenerational family recipes like the Chilaquil (housemade corn chips with guacamole, jalapeño, sour cream, Mexican cheese, finished with scratch-made salsas or mole) and The Ranchero (chicharrón, eggs, cheese, and avocado); whatever you order, a side of mole is highly recommended." - Annie Brown Verdin
"Granny’s is home to one of the best breakfast tacos in Austin, and for the last few years they’ve been operating out of a food truck on East 7th. They’re still in the same location, but now they’ve taken over what used to be a coffee shop next door, which means indoor seating, a larger menu, and a full bar to help turn breakfast into brunch." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"Unless you’ve been to Granny’s—or have your own grandmother with a family recipe for excellent mole and chilaquiles—there’s a good chance you haven’t had a breakfast taco quite like their chilaquil taco. Here, crispy corn chips in a fluffy flour tortilla get topped with a spicy and earthy housemade mole, cotija cheese, onion, and pickled jalapeno. Unlike its more popular breakfast cousin, migas, this is an eggless taco. But after a few of those ultra-savory and crunchy bites, you’ll forget eggs ever existed." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

And if you prefer a more classic rendition of chilaquiles, you can opt to swap the mole for a red or green salsa." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"The chilaquil taco with mole at Granny’s is one of the best breakfast tacos in town, but maybe you’re not here for breakfast, or maybe you want something a little more substantial. Order the torta campechana, stuffed full of steak, chorizo, ham, bacon, and beans—that’s almost as daunting as it is enticing. The blend of meats keeps everything moist and tender, while also adding in a great combination of textures that will (almost) help you forget about the chilaquil taco entirely." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
