"Tacos don’t need much help, but this mini-chain handles them especially well at locations in Allandale, East Austin, Clarksville, Lakeway, and more. Carne asada tacos hit the grill just right, and the panchos (giant, cheesy nachos) are rich and comforting. Queso and margaritas both travel easily. Each location offers online ordering and delivery." - Darcie Duttweiler
"This popular taco joint is expanding its brunch offerings and adding an espresso bar developed in collaboration with Barrett’s Coffee. Using Barrett’s beans, Taco Flats offers espresso drinks, drip coffee, cold brew, matcha, chai, and hot teas every morning of the week at both the Clarksville and Burnett Road locations. Order up pancakes (regular, banana walnut, and pineapple bacon), chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, migas, along with a few other Tex-Mex brunch dishes. - Courtney E. Smith, Editor for Eater’s Texas region" - Nadia Chaudhury
"Taking cues from Mexico City, this multi-location taco restaurant has become a go-to spot for margaritas in Austin. Highlights include the house margarita, made with Paula’s Texas Orange and jalapeno agave, as well as its spicy frozen counterpart. All of its locations in Allandale, Clarksville, and far north Austin have the same rustic, industrial vibe, but this outpost is best described as strip mall chic. Enjoy your margarita in your own atmosphere with online delivery from Uber Eats." - Kayleigh Hughes
"A 300-level taco option (near the Lexus Club) that also appears on the list of concessions offering frozen lime margaritas (Section 137)." - Courtney E. Smith
