Tacodeli

We attended the SXW event by GSD&M last week where Tacodeli were giving away tacos. They were delicious: small but tasty. I haven’t been to any of their restaurants but now I will.

Good tacos with high quality protein. They are pricey and not that big, but they are packed with flavor and made perfectly. I had a triplet of a scallop, shrimp, and pork belly taco. The seafood tacos were good but the pork belly was something else. Worth the price to try and to treat yourself once and awhile. They have daily specials as well, which is how I got the scallop taco. The seating indoor was very limited, but some outdoor seating and a small pavilion on the other side of the parking lot. Good taco spot overall, nothing over the top but still left satisfied.

We come here for the Freaking Vegan for me and migas for my bf.. saw the migas plate and he ordered it.. he saw the mashed potato but proceeded to order it anyway.. he was not impressed.. back to regular migas tacos.. People upfront were friendly.

A very refreshing taste in the Taco arena. I ordered FRONTERA FUNDIDO SIRLOIN tacos. The beef was tender and full of flavor. I tried three of the four salsa toppings with a side of chips and queso I liked how the chips were served in a clear, sealed bag. The atmosphere was very inviting, and clean. A variety of seating options including patio, bar style, and tables. The employees were friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend Fit or your Taco Tuesdays, Cinco de Mayo, and any other time you crave a deliriously different Taco

Wow! These tacos were great! And the service here was amazing. We had a large team visit and they accommodated us and all our requests. I did a “make your own” taco for both of mine and I really enjoyed them. The egg and avocado tasted fresh, bacon was crispy, and pico delicious. Thank you! Everyone else echoed a similar sentiment in enjoying their tacos. Weather was also beautiful in the morning so we sat outside. They have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. If you visit, I hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Picked up some tacos to go and it was yummy!! I had the cowboy which I loved. And the taco with pork belly. I enjoyed both of these and liked the flavors. I also tried the shrimp taco and didn’t like it. There was barely any flavor and not much to it besides the shrimp. I had to add a lot of salsa or guac. The guac was actually so good. My friend who goes often made it sound like it was better than usually so maybe there is a bit of quality control issues. But what I ate was deliciously flavorful with cilantro and lime. The queso was given to us complimentary because we had to wait and it was ok. Better than store bought but not was good as you’d get at a legit mexican restaurant.

One of my most fav locations for vegetarian tacos with delicious all kinds of salsa, great selection of drinks and beautiful outdoors. This place hits all the spots and makes it worth driving 30 mins for me. Staff is friendly, food quality is excellent. Salas are unlimited as well as delicious n fresh always. What else you can ask for? Must try!!!

Taco Deli is an Austin staple for our family. Their staff are friendly and offer amazing service. We love their tacos especially the Borracho Carnitas and Mojo Salmon. Best quacamole hands down and their veggie white rice is our children’s favorite. We appreciate the build your own breakfast taco option and the food allergy sensitivity (we are sensitive to dairy and gluten). Above all the salsa, especially the salsa Dona will always keep us coming back. There are many great taco places in Austin, but Taco deli takes the cake for us!

Been here after 8 years again today and let me tell you, the taste has not gone a bit. It is so delicious as it used to be before. Amazing taste Taco deli. Thanks

Making it impossible to order via your website due to a magic link that doesn't work is detrimental to you. Let us use a password like normal companies do or perhaps just let us enter a credit card number to buy. If you are going to force a magic link, make sure that if it opens in a different browser due to default being different on a mobile device that it actually passes the cart through. Creating a full cart and then having no way to access it without re-creating is not the seamless purchase experience you might want. I'm sure the Kolache Factory will enjoy my money this morning instead.

I really like this location. Previously I would say I like the downtown location best but it's a toss up now because they're both good. The Migas brekkie taco is my morning choice every time. There's something about the way the eggs are scrambled that make it so good. Mexico City Sirloin tacos are my other fave. The grill on the meat gets a great sear. Workers are nice and the restaurant is clean so always a bonus.

This used to be my FAVORITE location. Even during COVID I supported this location with my pick up orders. I return after a year away and it's not customer service focused or very clean. I understand overhead, but if someone asks for larger pieces of lime, TRY to accommodate. A guy really did try, but the woman seemed to be in charge and basically scolded him for trying to assist me. Bad form! I won't return to this location again. Spyglass location really is the VERY best and your food comes out looking like someone cares!

Been a while, should have read my previous review. It's even worse now than before...this is what $5.50 gets you at Tacodeli nowadays. Even the dona sauce is toned down. Nopes, hard pass.

I had the chips and queso along with the mojo salmon and the Friday daily special taco (steak chimichurri Nolan Ryan). The cashier was very helpful and friendly. The salmon taco was delicious. The taco came with a generous serving of pico de gallo and guacamole. The steak chimichurri taco was incredibly flavorful. It had a really nice acidic flavor from the vinegar/ acid in the chimichurri sauce. It is a bummer that this taco is only available on Fridays. The queso was underwhelming. I've had better. And the chips came in a plastic bag so it is probably safe to assume they aren't made in house. The food came out fast and the restaurant is pretty clean. Overall, this is a great place for a quick bite to eat.

Tacodeli breakfast tacos are my favorite breakfast food now. The Otto: Tell me how the bacon stayed crispy while surrounded by creamy black beans? Probably some kind of voodoo involved but love it. Chorizo, Eggs, Jack Cheese and Mashed Potato. Custom taco and my favorite thing. They don't skimp on the ingredients. The cheese was melty and the potato gave a bit of that comfort - yum. The tacos are a good size, I struggled to finish 3 of them. Lastly, their salsa. DELICIOUS. I could drink this stuff! I think the service is top notch. Everyone has such a good attitude and is helpful. They make the whole experience worthwhile. If you haven't already, give Tacodeli a try!

Breakfast tacos are great! Recommend ordering ahead as there is very little parking which fills up quickly for here and Phoebe's

Visited for the first time and was happy with the service and the food. I really enjoyed their picadillo taco. With that said when we went to sit down I noticed that every table was dirty. Overall it was fine and I'd go back - I just wish it was cleaner.

Great place. Great for vegetarians or vegans. They use super fresh ingredients so I never feel gross after leaving. I come here for bfast before heading to work or class, and even though they're busy, they're always on top of everything! The guy who brings out the food even remembers my face so he just comes and sets it down infront of me instead of yelling out my name. Nice little touches. Friendly staff. Plus parking is super easy. Really like this location!

So glad I tried their specialty taco of the month - short rib taco. Delicious. Different than the usual. I love tacodeli food so the change in the taco being a short rib taco.... Hell yes. Got my usual barbacoa and elote. I cant order from there unless I can have the elote. Hands down some of the best I have had. Took a chance on the hibiscus berry aqua fresca. My delivery driver warned me that it stains. Luckily I didn't spill it. But that's probably because I drank it so quick. Delicious food for a great price.

In the mood for tacos and came across this place. You walk up and place your order. Service was very friendly. Lots of eating area inside or out. There's a good variety to choose from and menus are on the side if it's your first time like me. Don't expect anything fried here. It's a healthier take on tacos. Had the Mexico City and Delibelly tacos - both recommend!

Sitting here at Taco Deli Gracy Farms. Order was supposed to be ready at 5:50pm. Here it is 6:05. People in front of me are still waiting.

Quick service. Waited maybe 5mins while they cooked everything to order. The flavor is always there at Taco Deli. First time I tried a taco without any meat and was still impressed by the layers of flavor. The anegado taco was stunning especially with the addition of pomegranate seeds

I tried two tacos: frontera fundido sirloin and puerco verde. When I read the ingredients to the frontera fundido sirloin (grilled sirloin, jack cheese glaze, and sautéed poblano-onion rajas) I got excited. Growing up in a Mexican household, rajas was a dinner staple. For anybody that's never heard of them, rajas are roasted poblano peppers with caramelized onions and cream. The peppers are roasted until they're blistered and blackened all over; the skin is then peeled off, and you're left with soft strips of poblano peppers. The cream is important, as it tones down the heat of the peppers and gives rajas its signature creamy texture. The taco I got didn't quite have rajas; instead, it had strips of peppers and onions that appeared to have been quickly sautéed, not roasted and caramelized until soft, and with no cream. Was it still good? Yes, just not quite what I expected. I do wish the onions would've been cooked longer. The puerco verde taco consisted of pork shoulder, salsa verde, queso fresco, cilantro, and onion. It was the perfect amount of spicy for me, but came with a little too much raw onion that I should've just taken off. Overall, I thought both tacos had good flavor, and I would definitely order them again (maybe taking off some of the onion next time). It's a solid "fast food" place to get tacos with quality ingredients, and they have many options to choose from.

We came in for breakfast tacos. They were busy. I got the Otto (refried beans, cheese, bacon and avocado) and I built my own with mashed potatoes, barbacoa and jack cheese. We spent like $21 on 4 tacos so a little on the pricy side. Tacos were good. I liked my build my own better because the bacon was a little over crispy in my Otto. The tortillas were fine but I don't think we're homemade. These were good tacos but not fantastic, that said I would come back again if it was convenient .

Called the store to cancel my order within 5 seconds after I realized I had chosen the wrong location for pick up. The guy said he would cancel the order later that day. Called them again after 2 days and apparently they hadn't done anything to cancel the order. Waited for another two days before I called back. This time they said they had started issuing a refund but the process could take up to 3 weeks :) I called again today and the assistant manager told me my order was never refunded. Store manager Michael and employee Molly were just liars who kept telling me the order had been already refunded.

A place to get some tacos quickly. There are many options to choose from, including vegan. There are different salsas available from mild to very hot! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They were also eager to help you have the best experience possible. There were numerous tables, both low and high, to choose from. Tacodeli offers a nice taste at a good price, so when you just need a taco, stop by and give them a try!

First visit in a while as we re-visited this restaurant Service: A+ they really took great care of us they explained the menu and suggested that we will want 2 tacos as they are "snack size" tacos (small size) so we took the suggestion and my dad wanted to try the blood orange drink and she convinced him to change his mind as my dad thought it had liqour in it and also thought it was like a bloody mary and our cashier said it does not contain liqour and is nowhere near a bloody Mary and she also gave us both a free fountain drink since it was our first visit and one of the managers came to our table to check on us to see how are tacos came out the food A+ we ordered the new Borracho Taco and it was very very very good. and per our cashier reccomendation we also ordered the Cowboy taco which she said it was one of there bestsellers We will be back and it is nice that they stay open later till 9 i believe the ambiance was very nice and pretty big and they have also seating outside so the ambiance is A+

Came here for breakfast and it was ok!! I got the build your own taco with egg, chicken, and pico de gallo on one taco and chorizo, spinach, and avocado on the other taco. My first tack was pretty good but I didn't really like the second one. The chorizo was not very flavorful and was pretty dry which is weird bc chorizo is never usually like that! I love their salsas though especially the green creamy one!! So nice and spicy and flavorful so that made the tacos taste so much better!!

Tacodeli's tacos hit the spot after a long, busy day. The birria taco running for a limited time is the best birria taco I've tasted. I'm excited to try this taco again! The tacos contain the perfect level of spice and flavor. I'm never disappointed when I try the variety of tacos available. I've also tried the guacamole and chips, but the guacamole is always super spicy, which throws me off each time. I'm not used to having guacamole with that level of spice, but if you love spicy guacamole, you will love the guacamole at Tacodeli. Overall, if I had to recommend just one taco at Tacodeli, I would recommend you try the birria taco before the special ends. Hopefully, they decide to keep that one on the menu. I've tasted birria tacos even at top rated food trucks and still feel the birria at Tacodeli beats all the rest in flavor.

Being a child of the South (Austin), my college career was filled with trips to the original Taco Deli so imagine my surprise when I first discovered this location while back for work and staying north. The set up is the simple: enter and head to the counter to place your order. Menu boards decorate the space above the registers and be sure to check out their daily specials. My go-to tacos are: potato egg and cheese, Jess Special. and/or the Vaquero for breakfast and the Heather, Freakin' Vegan, and Fontera Fundido for lunch; all in whole wheat tortillas. No matter what I pick they all get dunked and slathered in Salsa Dona. For real-don't sleep on Dona.   Service is always pleasant. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and happy to make any accommodations/modifications needed. The restaurant has also always been clean, with staff cleaning and resetting the dining area when someone finishes and departs.   While I have ordered tacos to go my preferred visit will be dining in to enjoy my tacos fresh and hot with Salsa Dona refills just steps away. Next time work has me up this way I will definitely be stopping by to kick-start my day in the spicy right direction.

Been coming here for years and the tacos are always great. Creed was especially helpful today, amazing customer service when I made mistakes on my order. He made my Saturday.

Breakfast Tacos and chips /queso were outstanding. Staff was very friendly and food came out fast. Our go to for breakfast and lunch since 2001. If you have not tried you must.

I love this place. I didn't realize this is considered a fast food place in Texas, and that there are so many locations throughout Austin. We stumbled upon here on our first full day. I really liked it! It was very flavorful, light, and at a comfortable price point. I ordered the taco with beans and bacon - that was quite savory. I find myself thinking about these tacos a lot now that I'm back in California because it was such a great meal. I was surprised to find that I got full off of two or three tacos, the other taco that I got had avocado, bell peppers, onions, and eggs. That one was my favorite. The food came out very quickly, and I was surprised that the avocado was fresh. I would have realize this was a fast food chain if I didn't see more locations throughout Austin. I would absolutely come back.

Food quality just isn't what it used to be. This had been our go-to Taco Tuesday spot for a long time but after a series of botched orders and just okay food, we have now shifted our taco interests elsewhere only coming back to Taco Deli every once in a while to see if we can get the spark back. To be honest, the green doña sauce is still imprinted in my heart and is probably the only reason I can't let go. It has become the taste-better sauce to the otherwise average taco vessels being served.

Tacodeli is solid. I would have to say that the food is not quite up there with Torchy's based on taste and originality, but I will admit it's still really good. The people that work at the different locations I've visited are so much cooler, nicer, and more willing to help compared to Torchy's. Too many hipsters in one place isn't a fun time. I would have to say that my favorite tacos are their breakfast tacos, but the Frontera Fundido is the bomb. The Frontera Fundido comes with your choice of meat plus sautéed poblano onion rajas and Jack cheese. It's awesome. There are plenty of people I know that would say Tacodeli is superior to Torchy's, so go determine that for yourself!

It is not fancy but it is really good food and drinks at a good price. Vegetarian and vegan options. Breakfast plates are a lot of food and well prepared and of course the tacos are off the charts. The margaritas are good too!

Still getting almost every single order wrong despite manager saying they will TRY to do better.

Was in the market for a quick, cheap(ish) breakfast and came across TacoDeli. A quick glance at their menu showed that they use vital farm eggs for all of their breakfast tacos.. sold! I stopped by on a weekday morning around 8:30am and ordered a Jess's favorite with chorizo to go. Less than 5 minutes later, I was on my way with taco (and salsas) in hand. I wasn't super hungry so one was enough for me, especially when paired with an apple w/ peanut butter, but if you're looking for a bigger meal I would definitely go with 2. The house made chorizo was delicious and such a clutch move.. it paired perfectly with the creamy avocado and spicy salsa! Was it the best breakfast taco of my life? No. And also not the cheapest (I think it came to 5 and change after tax/tip). BUT it was pretty damn good, especially for "fast food" and I would happily go back there for more!

Great food. Great service. Order on the app for fast pick-up. Like the rewards (free quest always makes my day!).

Came here over the Fourth weekend and the tacos are pretty tasty! Fast and they pack it in! Had the breakfast taco ETH eggs and bacon, the bacon was super crispy but eggs were fluffy. Also had the chicken mole, beef barbacoa, and pork shoulder. All were really good and keeps well on the plane too!

Tacodeli was my first spot that I ate at during my trip to Austin. I ordered The Vaquero which was super yummy! Eggs, bell peppers, roasted corn, topped with shredded cheese on a flour tortilla is a hearty breakfast that won't disappoint. If you're ever in Austin, try Tacodeli!

Always fresh out of the pot! New invention periodically and surprisingly good! Never stop trying and always something good for the whole family!

I had their tacos at a coffee shop in Pflugerville/round rock. I think it's called black rock coffee. It was delicious.

Love this place. My favorite lunch tacos are the cowboy and the mojo salmon. So good with the Roja or the green Dona sauce. Can't go wrong with the chips and freshly made guacamole either. My favorite local taco spot!

Somehow in the years I spent in Austin, I never made my way to a Tacodeli. Maybe it was my aversion to breakfast tacos, or maybe it was some weird preconceived notion that it was just another one of those gourmet taco places (when Torchy's was all the rage). But it seems Tacodeli has endured, at least long enough for me to visit, and it was certainly worth it. Their tacos, yes, that gourmet style you see all over the place, have a quality of freshness to them, and while loaded, are not overdone so that you feel awful afterwards. This location in particular also boasts an incredibly friendly staff that really added a warmth to the meal.

Was a little disappointed after seeing the tacos. All the tacos were extra salty which is weird, for a guy who likes salty food. Not a value for money for the amount of meat in the tacos. You can make it a meal (Blue Plate) which comes with rice and beans which is the most little beans and rice portion I have ever seen. On a positive note, the beans were tasty. The sauces were decent but nothing that would standout and make you wanna get again.

This location is only a stroll down the sidewalk located right off of Gracy Farms and Burnet rd.. I always use the online order portal to place my order, so I can't really speak on the service but my food is always ready when it was told to me.. The food is what you expect at a Taco business.

I have no idea why people like this place. I suppose if you've never had good tacos then you might like it? Trust me, get out there! Explore! Taste other things! Go to small Mexican holes in walls! Or better yet, go to San Antonio and literally get a taco anywhere and you'll understand why Taco Deli is lame. Save your money and get real tacos anywhere else. The tortillas are store bought and sad, poor vegetarian options, and price point is way too high for what you get.

Jeez, I still like Taco Deli but it feels like every few months they make the menu more and more restrictive. They now took away the ability to turn a taco into a bowl, which is a bit baffling -- along with removing all of their platters in general. This is also after they've removed daily specials, and a lot of their more interesting options. Actually coming to this page and seeing my old review from 3 years ago, listing off all of the tacos I was so impressed with -- ones that all don't exist anymore, is kind of sad. It feels like they stopped trying to be innovative and making tacos that are more interesting than the standard place. Luckily the ones they still make are all high quality and good, and I'm sure I'll still be a regular -- though the changes really are going to directly impact how often I'm craving it

Taco deli has good food and salsa. That's a fact. I know they've changed their to-go ordering and want only app orders but they should make some exceptions over the phone without making us feel like a huge burden. Also their to-go salsa lids are cheap and don't fit properly. And lastly I've noticed lately, ain't nobody smiling or saying hello when I come to the counter. I only go there once a month so I'm not a regular. Also noticed the same vibe at the Burnet location. What gives?

Dona sauce! Isn't that the best part of Tacodeli? I have been regular here and all the tacos taste good. If you know what paneer is, then try Heather vegetarian taco. The drinks are good too. Their chips are good but guacamole is on soury side. The tacos are small in size for the price.

De.lic.ious. Great tacos, good Queso, but the star of every visit is the green sauce.

Best salsa ever and everyone is so nice. The workers behind the counter always have a smile on their face

The food is amazing the service us amazing and to top it off its just down the street from me. Its a bit expensive but well worth it in my opinion..

If you are looking for a fast bite for tacos and other Mexican bites this is your spot. They also offer alcoholic drinks chips, queso, and salsa. The tacos were fine for the quality and type of establishment you are going to. I thought the queso was the strong point of this place I would go back for the queso or salsa.

Refried beans was brown liquid.(from can?)..perfectly cubed chicken seemed like frozen pieces heated up..rice and beans salty...food was lukewarm and didn't seem fresh..sparse lettuce and tomatoes. Floor was dirty. Service was fine and quick.

Love !! The best tacos ever They have many options no matter if your love meat or follow a vegetarian lifestyle
