"Austin-based burger chain P. Terry’s closed down its fast-casual taco spin-off in early November, to focus on the company’s burger expansions." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Owned by the folks behind P. Terry’s, this Sunset Valley drive-thru is a throwback to taco stands of the 1960s with a small menu and simple but fresh ingredients." - Darcie Duttweiler

"Austin’s beloved burger drive-thru chain and its co-owners Patrick and Kathy Terry know what they’re doing when it comes to quality fast food, so they decided to apply the same approach to tacos. Taco Ranch opened its first location down in Oak Hill back in January, serving up simple breakfast tacos, burritos, and bowls." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Austin’s favorite local burger chain P. Terry’s is opening its first taco-dedicated drive-thru Taco Ranch this week. The restaurant will debut on Wednesday, January 24, in Oak Hill on Highways 290/71 and MoPac. A sign on its door warns that the restaurant will still be 'in training.' Update, January 26: Taco Ranch has been so slammed during its opening that the restaurant reduced its hours for now: 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the weekdays and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the weekends. Co-owner Patrick Terry applied his same approach to P. Terry’s — good, all-natural food for affordable prices — to tacos. He was inspired by Taco Bell’s short menu during the early ‘60s. 'We’re under no illusion that there are plenty of taco places,' he previously told Eater, 'but we believe that there is a niche in the marketplace that has not been filled.' That means a menu where prices are usually around $2.25, full of simple tacos (tortillas are either flour or corn, crispy or soft), chalupas, tostadas, burritos, quesadillas, and taco salads. The variations aren’t overwhelming: it’s simple as beef, chicken, veggie crumble or refried beans. Breakfast tacos come in orders of two, three, or four, with fillings like bacon, sausage, chorizo, potato, cheddar cheese, and refried beans. Sides include guacamole, queso, and ranch dip. For sweets, there are churro brownies, and during breakfast-time, there are cinnamon rolls and coffee cakes. Scope out the full menu below. The restaurant space, designed by Michael Hsu (who worked on numerous P. Terry’s restaurants), includes a patio, dine-in area, and the requisite drive-thru. The first P. Terry’s opened in 2005, followed by 13 other locations in Austin. Terry doesn’t rule out future Taco Ranch locations, but none are currently planned." - Nadia Chaudhury

As a big fan of P. Terrys I was excited to try this place. While I have no complaints I will say it’s suspiciously inexpensive. $2 for a breakfast taco and $4 for a burrito? Did I go into a time warp to 1994? When the food comes out it’s even more baffling because the quality is excellent and the homemade sauce are super flavorful. I don’t know what kind of business model they have serving food this underpriced but I’m into it and hope they open 100 locations!

This location used to be congested with people however now I know why it is empty. First off, it is despicable that management doesn't fix the AC for the workers who are slaving inside this location. There are multiple fans in the kitchen area, which probably contributes to airborne illnesses. There's a temporary AC unit that is for the customers, however this franchise owner is cheap enough to not put a decent replacement size version. No wonder nobody eats inside as I intended to eat. I shouldn't have to pay restaurant prices of over $21 for an individual meal and have the food bagged up to go because the restaurant is a burning Inferno. Unfortunately I had to make my order to go. Food wise I'm very unsure why I paid extra for asada steak and received five to six cubes of meat for the up charge. You can see the photos I've added as proof of this disappointment. I had to remind the workers that I ordered a shake as they looked at me confused of why I wasn't leaving. The workers looked oblivious to customer service but how couldn't they when I didn't even want dine inside this uncomfortably hot building. And I guess homeless are welcome to self serve themselves at the soda station. I had one homeless guy park his bicycle on the outdoor patio and self- serve himself to the machine. If corporate is listening I've already sent you an email about my experience. I'm not interested in having a gift card to wash away this review. I'll go back to your building with a laser thermometer to document the heat inside this building and file a health and safety complaint with the state of Texas on the behalf of your employees. Get your business together. Update 08/30/2023: Taco Ranch has yet to fix the AC problems in the facility and failed to reach out to me about objective complaints regarding my visit. A formal complaint with the State of Texas has been filed on behalf of their employees suffering in a Non-AC building. This business makes me sick.

If you've ever been to PTerrys and wished they served tacos, well you're in luck! It tastes just as good as it sounds, fresh food, simple menu with great options. Friendly staff, clean dining room and restrooms. Quick service and good pricing. I like the choices on the soda machine too, Hawaiian punch, I haven't seen that in forever. The salsas are tasty, I really enjoyed the fire roasted one. The Mexitots with Queso are a great snack/side. Only one location of 290/71/Mopac. If you're coming up Mopac North it'll be on your right, it's actually easier to get to their parking by turning onto 290/71 first then coming in. Drive through options, inside dining and an outdoor patio. Definitely worth a try, hoping they put another location in Southeast Austin... Mckinney falls and William Cannon perhaps...🤞😄🤞

Terrible taco Tuesday! I ordered two beef tacos with salsa. I could only eat one. Didn’t taste good at all. Then diarrhea for three days. At times I was evacuating from both ends. I would show photos but I don’t think you would like that. I’ve been there before and enjoyed my meal. But now never again! Beware and stay away. Not that it matters but I’m Mexican and love hot food. This restaurant doesn’t know what Mexican food is. Stick to hamburgers my grandchildren can make those.

I finally got the chance to stop by and check out this place and I really enjoyed it! I tried a chicken taco and chicken tostada with some chips (salsa & queso) along with a limeade. Everything was fresh and tasty. Nice pieces of chicken with great vegetables. The guy working there (Matt) was also awesome as he was constantly checking what was out of stock, cleaning the area, and making sure customers had everything they needed. I've attached some pictures. Pricing was also really great! Everything I got ended up being around $12 which was enough to feed 2. Will definitely be back! Don't expect this to be like a more traditional tex-mex place because it's not. Old review: I like the design of the place. Unfortunately they closed it down for some sort of training right at peak hour so... I’ll have to try the food some other time. Just don’t go around opening day as it might be closed or there might be lots of mistakes.

In my opinion this place gives Taco Bell a run for their money. Simple menu, simple ingredients but done incredibly well and everything seems fresh. Do yourself a favor and dine in occasionally at this place. It’s beautiful inside. Designed by a local firm who does all of the the other P.Terry’s locations. Oh, also try your taco in a crispy flour tortillas - you’re welcome!

Really good quality food at an unbeatable price point! The hard shelled corn tacos have a really nice crunch without being oily. The tostadas are filled to the top with fresh veggies, the guac = L.O.V.E. ... don't forget to ask for fire roasted salsa and the salsa verde for chicken entries

Brought to you by the owners of P Terry’s. Delicious and fresh tasting tacos,burritos,etc at a super reasonable price. Plus the employees are all extremely nice. A place that makes you feel good to patronize. The ranch dip is definitely in the running for best queso in Austin.
