Taco More - Austin

My sister brought me, my husband, and our two teens to grab a late dinner here, and her significant other joined us (he had just had lunch there earlier the same day, coincidentally). Standard Mexican fare. Loved the salsa that came with the chips. I got the chicken enchiladas verde (my standard choice) and my husband got tacos. Both were yummy. Far from my fave aesthetic, with sports on TVs and no nice lighting, but we weren't looking for any special ambience that night. We did have to eventually go up to the counter to pay, which wasn't clear to us and took a bit to figure out. I would go back for the food, but very much not for the atmosphere.

My New FAVORITE place to eat, I literally almost started crying when I tried the enchiladas because it tasted exactly like the ones my mother would make me (she's 1000+ miles away) I really felt like I was in my kitchen at home eating.. their food was just amazing. Will definitely make the hour and half drive to Austin for this place again. Thank you to our Waitress also for checking on us but also no hovering over us like other places do! Also my husband tried the Birria Taco plate and he LOVED it as well, I would also recommend their salsa, it was delicious, I was tempted to take the bottle home <3

This place is trash. If I could give it zero stars I would. I went there with my son and we started off with sweet tea. It was like drinking water. Refills took forever by the waitress. We went there for tacos but apparently all they have are breakfast tacos... why call yourself taco more if you don't really have tacos on the damn menu? I knew at this point we should have walked out the door but against better judgment we ordered the beef enchiladas for $16/plate. They were awful. Couldn't tell what kind of meat we were actually even eating and it was chewy. If you're actually in the mood for tacos do not go here. Awful terrible food and way overpriced for the slop they sell. On top of that the food made me and my son sick later on. Don't waste your money here. I dont know how this place has a 4.1 rating.

I've seen this place a million times when going to concerts in the area, but never made time to go. I'm glad I finally made it here! Taco More is a pretty big restaurant with plenty of tables and wait staff. Our server was very polite and attentive during our meal. We got 4 tacos: 2 barbacoa, 1 carnitas, and 1 quesabirria. All of the tacos were delicious, but my favorite was the quesabirria which was crazy flavorful with tender goat meat. We also split the goat soup. I won't come back without getting the goat soup, that's for sure. The meat was really tender and didn't taste gamey at all. The spice level was perfect as well. We spent $25 for 4 nicely sized tacos and a bowl of goat soup which is honestly less than I expected. I'll be back soon for MORE! :)

Incredible restaurant, and I’m so happy I got to come back here. The food is delicious!!!

Our favorite place to eat when we go to concerts at Come and Take It Live! The Quesabirria Tacos are the best for me. My wife is a vegetarian and loves the crispy quesadillas which are served with lettuce, tomato, avocado and cotija cheese on top. Last night we drove in from Round Rock just to have dinner there. And the staff is very nice and courteous.

It may be difficult to order what you want if you do not speak Spanish. It may be difficult for you to finish the food as the portion sizes are massive. I ordered the Cubano which consisted of ham, hotdog, and another mystery meat. Bland best describes the flavour profile. While there is plenty of heat on the table in the form of condiments there is nothing on the food. I’m sure I’m missing the romance here. Just my opinion.

I drove in from out of town traveling the USA on a music tour at the come and take it saloon. First thing is mostly ladies that work there and all very nice and beautiful. They have one guy outside opens and holds the door for you 😂🤣Okay on to the food, it was great even took some breakfast tacos back to the bus. The house salsa was fire 🔥 just killer, I took some with me. I see a lot of needy people with some bad reviews, but this place is very good.

Ambience is ok but food is really good. I got a bowl of menudo which was real good , I also had 2 beef steak tacos, they were delicious. My daughter had a bacon cheeseburger and I tried some, it was great!

We love coming to Taco More. Always delicious, great value, yummy salsa, great service, fun music- casual and friendly

The PERFECT spot after a late night of drinking for breakfast. Hangover remedy is a giant Michelada, tacos, pozole/menudo and a shrimp cocktail. I was so impressed by the shrimp cocktail it was huge and packed with tons of shrimp and flavor. Great pricing too with friendly staff.

Uggggg, looked sooooo good, then they were just average when I munched into them. Taco More is on East Riverside. Absolutely packed with locals, which is a god sign (I'll come back and try some non taco meals). Got a bacon and egg, chorizo and egg, and a marinated pork taco, all on flour tortillas. And that's the problem. Tortillas are a bit too thick and not crisped up enough. Bacon wasn't cooked enough either. As usual, chorizo was the best choice. Pork was fine. A bit dry. Just three stars out of five for me, but this many locals eating here means I'm going to give it another try.

I came for a solo lunch after a recommendation from a friend, I HAD to try the sopa de mariscos. I went around a lunch (peak) time and received stellar service! They serve a warm green salsa with chips to start, and I was pleasantly surprised by the robust flavor of the salsa sauce! The temperature was different, but not in a bad way at all. The only other thing that I took notice of was that the space could've been tidier - that's something I definitely pay attention to when I go out to eat. It could've been because of the rush, or it could've been how things usually are there; I couldn't tell as it was my first time there. I ordered an agua fresca, limonada flavor and it was perfectly balanced and refreshing! The soup was the absolute bomb and it came with my choice of tortillas on the side, or bread. I opted for the bread and it ended up being a torta roll; the only thing that would've made it better is if the bread was buttered and toasted. I dipped the bread in the broth - yum! The sopa came out piping hot, not lacking any seafood whatsoever, it had a little kick to it but nothing overwhelming. The flavor was so on point that I drank all the broth! The one thing I didn't really care for was the "krab" component of the dish. It was definitely imitation meat, and it tasted too artificial for my liking. I tried a couple of bite sized pieces before I just decided to remove the rest so I could enjoy the remainder of the bowl. I enjoyed my experience overall and will definitely be back!

The food was decent. I ordered the sope de al pastor, the meat had too much red coloring and it was pretty cold. We also had the torta Hawaiiana and it did not have enough meat. We ordered the limonada, I asked for an "agua fresca" but it was not a fresh lemonade. Their salsas were delicious though! Service was decent after being served they did not come back to check on us.

I was really craving menudo but didn't know a place in Austin since I am from Dallas. So many people online recommend this restaurant and the pictures looked good to me. I went there on a Sunday and ordered to go and will say they gave it to me in less than 10 minutes despite being crowded. When I got back home I realized that they didn't include hominy so had to run to HEB and buy some. After doing all that I was excited to enjoy my menudo but after a couple bites I couldn't eat any more. It tasted just like straight up black pepper and I even noticed a ton of black pepper all over when I was pouring it out of the container to warm on the stove. It also had a funky after taste during some bites. I've grown up with authentic menudo because I am Mexican and can say this didn't taste like all the other menudo I've had.

To me the truest compliment someone can give about a dining experience is that of feeling at home. This is what Taco More cultivated for my husband, who's a Corpus transplant. Given this was my first experience at this restaurant I opted for a familiar dish, the beef fajita plate. I loved how small the beef was chopped, in a street taco style fashion, making it very easy to eat. The beans had weenies in them, which I'm told makes them legit. They were really well done and flavorful. They had 3 salsas from what I saw and the one that had peanuts in it had my husband sweating. The showstopper for me was the rice, it was perfect! I love Spanish rice and they nailed it. The waitress was very friendly and spoke predominantly Spanish, which was fine because I speak enough and my husband has been working on his as well. All in all a great experience! We are now inspired to check out all the tacos on East Riverside.

Menudito para la cruda! El menudo mediano está bastante grande y los tacos de cabeza están y hasta te traen la salsa de molcajete calientita. Todos los que trabajan aquí son muy amables y me da mucho gusto cada vez que vengo. Love getting menudo here. The beef head tacos are real tasty. The salsas are all spicy and have great flavor. I think my favorite thing about Taco More is that every staff member is extremely nice and really makes this place welcoming. This place has been in Austin for such a long time and they're doing it right.

We were in town for a concert and decided to give it a shot. The chips and salsa were good. The salsa was a warm salsa which I usually don't care for but this salsa had a really good flavor and I actually liked it.. We tried the beef fajita nachos as an appetizer and they were tasty. The meat was cut into small pieces which was perfect for the nachos. They also had refried beans, cheese and pico. An upscale nachos and they were tasty. We had the chicken carnitas tacos and the beef fajita tacos. Basic tacos - meat, onions, cilantro and either corn or flour tortillas - but they were tasty. I didn't care for the 'red' sauce that came with them but the green sauce had a great flavor. The meats had great flavor and were moist and tender. The borracho beans were very good - everything that should be in a good bowl of beans with a good flavor. We would definitely come back!

Great food! Pozole was a good 7.5/10, it had little more bones than meat but it was pretty good. Will be back soon!

Host was extremely rude and unwelcoming. Set the tone for the entire restaurant. Will not be returning...maybe the first face that customers see, shouldn't be a miserable cow

They have attitude not kindly people all with attitude" cashier Pesimo servicio párese que les estubieran pidiendo las cosas gratis cuando esta pagando 100$ para llevar " la cajera con actitud "

Great place ! Always good ! And good service The vibe is always relaxing and decent prices

Taco mooooore more like SURE. Bathrooms are not the best BUT we go for the vibe, the presentation, presence, the POZOLE. I enjoy this soup. It's the nectar of the gods. My LORDT! Pour the soup on my body, it's a vibe. Best literal ever in this whole city !!! 47 stars if could xoxo

Came here with some friends after a day at the park, I was really hungry so honestly anything would have tasted good. We got takeout and ate it in the parking lot because we had a dog so we could not eat inside. I was pretty unimpressed. I got the potato and egg breakfast taco and the egg and cactus breakfast taco. Both were pretty lackluster in flavor even after pouring sauce on them. My friends enjoyed their meals, apparently the fajitas and tortas are good, but I would not go back for their breakfast tacos.

I was looking for some good hole in the wall tacos, and this place was that. From the outside it didn't look like anything special but the food was phenomenal! I got three tacos; steak, Al pastor, carnitas, all three very good. My favorite was the steak taco I would eat 100 of them if I could. They had three salsas for the tacos a verde which I loved, a red sauce that was very spicy and flavorful, and a Serrano sauce that was crisp and spicy. I also got horchata which was yummy and came with free refills! This is definitely a place that I would return to in a heart beat. Highly recommend!!

The food is amazing. Love the breakfast tacos and the warm salsa. Service is quick and friendly

This place is great! Ive heard that it is pretty authentic as well. I get their tacos every time and they are so good and very cheap. Theyre very generous with their portions. I really like the goat tacos -- if youre ok with the gamey taste of goat, i would recommend trying that one. I ordered takeout - 12 tacos - and it was ready in 15!

I've been to Mexico plenty of times and I have to say that these tacos the birria are as good as the ones I ate in Mexico. The pozole was legit and delicious. This is a whole in the wall type of place but it the food is top notch. Staff is friendly and welcoming.

$20 for the worst birra tacos. I can't speak for any of their other plates. No recomiendo los tacos de birria de este lugar. Aparte de cobrar $18, están horriblemente hechos.

This place has some amazing authentic tacos. The service is impeccable and the staff is so friendly. Best of all, I love their hot temp salsa! It was my first time trying salsa that's hot in temperature and tasted so good! They also made special veg tacos for me which was super nice and tasty!

Menudo ($9) is a Mexican soup with cow's stomach. It was super flavorful broth and had good portions of protein. It also came with a choice of tortilla or tostado. Cactus/egg breakfast taco ($2) was a decent sized taco a bit on the bland side. Beef steak quesadilla ($5) was also a good sized quesadilla but wasn't super flavorful. Tres leche cake ($4) was so bomb. It is one of the best tres leche cakes that I have ever eaten. It was a chocolate with condensed milk and strawberry filling in between the two layers. I would recommend this spot just for the menudo and the tres leche cake.

Taco More was good. The place is really relaxed and the food was good. The service could have been better, but nothing to complain about except that it is a little slow. We had fajitas, goat, al pastor tacos with cilantro and onions. We tried goat soup with flour tortillas and floutas. The flouta plate comes with a massive amount of rice and beans so be ready. The tacos were great. They have a salsa bar with 5 different types of salsas, so you can explore and a ton of limes. The goat soup was surprisingly really good and you can make impromptu goat soup tacos by filling in a flour tortilla with the goat soup. The tres leches was really underrated which was disappointing. The cake was not moist, but looked like the syrup was just poured into the bottom, so I would advise against it for dessert.

lol My mom wanted Mexican so we delivered. We chose taco more for her because I have eaten here before and know they have good food to offer. My mom is a tough person to please when it comes to food, so when she ordered the fried fish I was hoping they were on their A game that day lol. She finished her plate which came with rice and beans; she loved every part of it. The fish was a good size and fried perfectly, she liked the rice and beans as well. I had the flauta plate & enjoyed them very much but the beans it came with I wasn't too crazy about. The rice was good. My husband had the carne asada plate, he liked the meat and the rice was ok but could have gone without the beans. We prefer black beans over any of the others, so we hold it at a higher standard lol. They have plenty of seating, parking & a menu selection. I would recommend this spot and they have more than one location. Both serve good food.

This place has the best Birria tacos and consomé. The tacos are filled with Cabrito and cheese. The consomé has chunks of cabrito. The salsa that comes with the chips. Was just like my mom made. I can't wait for my next visit.

Hands down the best menudo $ seafood soup in town! Perfect flavoring! Very consistent too!

BEST SEAFOOD SOUP IN TOWN! It cures your hangover ! We love taco more it is our go to place during the winter because of all of the delicious soups they offer!!! Give them a try I am sure you will not regret it ! Also, their service is always top tier ! Super friendly hosts and waitresses ! We love coming here !!

*Great food*, nice ambience, and general happiness. This is one of *those* places, present throughout the city, catering to locals, serving honest, authentic, mexican food, and disseminating happiness to all and sundry. There are two locations - Rivierside in the south, and Parkfield in the north. You're more apt to get a purely hispanic crowd at Riverside, though at Parkfield you'll get a lot more fo the north austin/domain/UT crowd. Either way, the food is really really good. * The tacos are *excellent*. Go for the cabeza, chicharron, or lengua if they have them. If not, everything else is good too, but these are off the charts * The birria (goat/chickpea soup) is destination worthy, and tastes of CDMX * The salsa bar is loaded, and delectable. Beware the orange one tho'! * Beers available, as well as a variety of non-alcoholic stuff (horchata, jamaica, etc.) So, go, and be happy!

The food is great, the vibe is awesome, very kind service, absolutely love it the salsa 100/10

Just visiting in Austin for work. Decided pop in on our lunch break. It was love at first bite! I don't normally eat a lot but I had to finish my food it tasted so good!

Don't worry if you are greeted by someone speaking Spanish but don't know enough of the language to get by, many of the staff are bilingual! Thankfully I know enough to stumble through a brief conversation... And thanks again fellow Yelpers for posting pictures to help me decide what to order from the section I was not familiar with... The menu has a lot of things you would be familiar with and a lot of things you might not be. Try something new, it could surprise you! You walk in and someone will greet and seat you. They will bring you chips and salsa... They salsa is amazing! It may set your mouth on fire... But its amazing! I ordered the chicken Flautas. They were bigger than any I have had any where else. They seriously took up the length of the plate. They were covered in lettuce and queso blanco with rice and refried beans on the side. It was so good, I honestly ate too much. They have a fantastic salsa bar. I highly recommend the green one with pieces of avacoado. Great flavor and will help cool off your melting taste buds from the first salsa. Service was good. Food was great. Servings were plentiful. Prices were decent. The whole place was pretty clean and the staff was friendly. They even had a guy playing the guitar. It was nice. They have TVs spread around on the walls. Most were tuned to FIFA or Spanish soap operas. One was a Spanish news channel. This is a great place to grab dinner before you see a show at Emo's or any other time... Will they again and something new next time we are in the area.

This place is okay in my opinion the taco more on lamar is better and more up on their game The food is good, they lack costumer service though! The only time we saw our waitress was when she brought the drinks and the food. That's it no checking up on drinks or anything

Understated but friendly , salsa in excellent and I like that it feels like a small family business

I've heard many good things about this place and vouched for the authenticity by many coworkers and also seen lines some days, so was glad Sunday night to swing by. Their Al pastor is very good - it's very red and even crisp on the edges. Good flavor and just needs a squeeze of lime to compliment there flavors. They also have great barbacoa and can get it in beef or goat flavors. Beware the spicy red salsa. It's fuego on steroids. Like the intolerable pain type spice. You've been warned. Service is okay and I recommend bringing along someone who can knows espagnol to order for optimal experience.

One of my favorite Mexican dishes to get is a Carne Asada which is usually a flank or skirt steak. I got one from here and found it to be unique because it had nopales on it. Nopales is Spanish for "cactus"! I haven't had cactus before, but I enjoyed it! It's like a hybrid taste of green bean and bell pepper. They have a bunch of other unique items so I definitely wanna come back again. Social distanced tables and mask required! I had a good time.

Took a while before my waiters asked me for anything. They barely spoke English. I don't speak Spanish so, that's on me I guess. The. Meal came out to $23 including the drink. It's a Hispanic Resturant so be up on your Spanish.

The cheese enchiladas were really bitter and unpleasant , I couldn't even finish half of one enchilada

Being from Mexico, this place is a big no, no for me... I was very disappointed considering the menu options but not worth the stomach ache after

The food is pretty average. We were hoping for more from a Mexican place in Austin, but then it's only a standard taqueria. The menu doesn't have a lot on it if you don't eat meat. I ordered the fish plate so I could give my daughter the spanish rice. The fried fish had no meat on it. I will call it a fish chip. The rest of the plate was fine. My son liked his bean and cheese burrito. I don't even remember what my husband got. I am giving it 3 stars because the salsa bar was awesome. They had so many salsa choices, pickled vegetables, onions, cilantro, lime etc. Very good. Also, they serve an excellent hot salsa with the tortilla chips. Edit: just remembered what my husband had and it's the other reason why this gets a 3 star and not just a 2. He ordered some veggie tacos. $2 each and that included egg and nopales taco. Great price for the tacos.

Good was delicious! Chilaquiles Rojos not what I expected. They are not the typical red chilaquiles I eat. I returned them due to the sauce they use is too oily/spicy for me. I got the green salsa chilaquiles which we're delicious! Tacos of Chivo Barbacoa were delicious as well! Chips and salsa too. Service was good, waitress was very attentive and fast when asked for something. I will come back

So this just happened to me right now! I usually don't write bad reviews the food is great here don't get me wrong but the moment I started eating my take out it tasted kind on funny to begin with 2 seconds later I find this tasty roach in my food! I don't think I will be returning to eat here anymore after many years of eating there. Very disappointed!!!

The best tortilla soup I ever had in my life. They are always so nice and friendly, accommodating my extreme need for extra sauces and pico de gallo. The al Ambre and Tacos are fantastic too, but the tortilla soup cures my hangovers EVERY TIME

First visit: 2 sopes (pretty big and delicious... but too much food to eat at once for me) 2nd visit: posole which i was super excited to eat. I asked for lime/cabbage. I finally got the cabbage when I was done with my food after watching my waitress chit chat with the cashier and another waitress for probably 15-20 minutes. It was either wait for it and let food get cold or just eat it without it. My husband never got his drinks refilled, his biggest pet peeve, even after he spoke Spanish to the waitress - which I thought for sure would get him better service over me - who asked for things in english (since I couldnt think of the word for cabbage in spanish, hehe) sorry I dont often need to use that one! lol oh well, Will I be back, probably, for a sope and maybe to try their menudo!

My goodness. I want more tacos from Taco More. Absolutely delicious tacos for an affordable price. Thank goodness cheap tacos exist. The inside has a nice ambiance and is pretty roomy. A lot of the waitresses only speak Spanish but all you gotta say is what type of tacos you want and it's all bueno. The tacos are around $2 each and have so much flavor. It's honestly amazing. You can even get both breakfast tacos and normal ones, which is basically the dream. The food itself comes out pretty quickly, which is good because you'll be jealous of the people around you who already have their food, but not for long. They wrap their tacos in two tortillas, which is fantastic. Overall, great taste and great price!

Busy AF? Yep. Organized chaos? Yep. Perfect food? Yessss. I never thought we would get a table much less be served as quickly as we were. The tacos were authentic and no frills, huge, and muy delicioso. The salsa bar has everything you can imagine and then some; all complimentary. Service is on point and kind. Non-Spanish speakers be patient and put away your 'Merica card, this is 100% Tejas.

Don't let looks fool you, when I first brought my friends here, they were a bit weirded out by the dark shopping mall and questionable name. It does not get more authentic than Taco More in that area. They had all my favorite tacos that you cannot find at a typical Tex Mex joint. This includes lengua (beef tongue), tripa (tripe), and pork cheek. All cuts of meet were beyond tender and worked well with the cilantro and salsa. Additionally, they have an expansive salsa bar where you can pick from a variety of toppings and sauces including mild to super hot salsa verde varieties. I also got the very comforting goat stew which is a must try as well! Definitely stop by if you are looking for a more authentic Mexican experience!

After indulging in the gut bomb that is Torchy's, my girlfriend and I found ourselves in the mood for street style tacos on a recent trip to Austin. Our musts for a taco place included a well-stocked salsa bar and authentic meat offerings. Taco More fit the bill and we took a slight detour to sample the fare. We arrived to a dining room full of Hispanic patrons, a promising sign. The staff's English skills are limited, but pointing and saying how many tacos you want works well enough. We opted for cabrito (braised goat), chorizo, cabeza (beef cheek), and al pastor. Shortly after ordering, we raided the awesome salsa bar and received a fresh basket of chips. Those chips were served with a warm salsa we weren't too fond of, but the chips made for excellent munching with the other salsas (particularly fiery red and two cooler green varieties) from the bar. Our tacos, served on warm, soft corn tortillas, arrived shortly thereafter. Our favorites among the meats included well seasoned, spicy chorizo and meltingly tender cabrito. The proportions of meat, cilantro, and onions struck an ideal balance of flavors in each bite, and of course the aforementioned salsas perked up each taco to an intense flavor experience. These tacos hit the spot so well that we woke up 30 minutes early (after a long night of partying) to return here prior to our flight out of Austin. If you live around here (or have the means to shlep out to East Riverside if visiting), Taco More definitely merits a stop for a variety of awesome tacos in a super authentic setting.

Was looking for a good pozole, glad I came here! Staff was nice too. The salsa they give you with the chips was delicious!!!

place has friendly roaches if you want a roach crawling on you this the place all workers did was stare and take off a small discount .. will never go back
