Tacos Las Amazonas Estilo Jalisco #3

Love this place! Super close to home, great service, and the tacos are amazing

I want to love this place, however, my last two experiences were extremely saddening. The portions on the quesadilla and the burrito are very small. The burrito for the same price at taquerias arandinas, and 80% of the other Mexican food trucks in Austin are double the size. Will not be returning sadly as I cannot be sure that I can be full and satisfied at the end of my meal. I don't like leaving reviews like this because I know this is a locally owned business, but I felt like I had to warn those looking for a Mexican food truck to leave them satisfied.

We order the amazonas burger and torta. Those 2 were were with lots of meat, soft bread and the Austin salsa 🤤 was delicious. The torta and the hamburger were loaded with flavor. The gringas de al pastor were also loaded and delicious. The people are always nice and courteous. I would recommend this place as they have authentic Mexican food. Their prices are fair and the food delicious.

This place is delicious. We are visiting from Vancouver Canada and have come here every day of our trip… sometimes twice… yesterday 3 times. We’ve had other great food in Austin too (we have tried elsewhere!) but the Al Pastor (add pineapple!!) and the beef fajita tacos are undeniably the best. The staff is all so friendly and nice as well - I already miss this place! Plus the convenience store next door has any drink and sweet treat you could need!

Ok I've tried the chicken tacos and pastor tacos and bistec tacos but the best is lengua tacos. There $4.50 a taco is a bit high my opinion.

Best taco truck in town. Multiple locations down South Congress. Authentic food, always quality and delicious. They are almost always open, and I’ve been coming here for nearly 4 years. The bistec and pastor tacos are the best thing on the menu. Try the horchata, and absolutely top off anything you eat with their Austin green salsa 🙌🏻

They should just become a ghost kitchen because they prioritize online orders over people that are literally right in front of them. Also extremely overpriced for what you get. Can’t wait til the bubble bursts because these tacos are awful.

I’m not usually eating around this area, but these tacos are a great option, I’ve been there 3 times and they haven’t disappointed! Recommend the pastor tacos and campechanos! Están muy ricos estos tacos, si se los recomendó !!!

I don't want to write this review because I want to keep this place on the low, but this place slaps, hard. They only speak Spanish here and the menu is in full gringa English. My Spanish skills are like a baby. So I can order. I always get confused when they call my number and then use my fingers and they nod. Service is friendly and quick. This spot is next to a gas station with a roof, with 8 picnic tables each with a roll of paper towels. The tacos are filled with meat that is so juicy and tender. Flavors are bursting. They green salsa (maybe it's called doña) adds the perfect creamy heat and they don't shy away with the limes. Open late. Always dank.

Just got a breakfast burrito from here with completely raw bacon on it. The flour tortilla was awful, was my first thought, then I chewed on what I thought was an onion, but realized it was raw, cold bacon. Immediately spat it out. Never again. That's terrifying.

Absolutely delicious! I even had a requirement for an AL Pastor with no cilantro. What service! They made the exception in a unique way and it was perfect! I love the tripa and they really excell.

Yummy handmade corn tortillas for yummmmmy tacos. Highly recommend pastor tacos with salsa cachonda. Friendly service super clean lots of well lit seating

Every time I have been here the quality has not slipped once! All the tacos I've had were delicious. Salsas hit the spot for each different heat level! Can't wait to try the menudo!! The ladies that run the truck are always quick and nice!

This taco truck is in my neighborhood and I have been multiple times now. They have phenomenal tacos, quesadillas and tortas and open til 3 which is nice. The best meat is their pastor imo. My only real critique would be to have a spicier salsa picante but no doubt a great place to have in the Austin food truck scene.

My review on this place? I can't say anything bad about this place to be honest! From it being open into the late night hours to it putting out consistently good food throughout the day. Servers are always really friendly and orders are always accurate when I go. My go-to is the amazona Burger or the amazona torta.

Everything about this place screams," hijo de su pinche madre!" Tortas, tacos y toda la madre. You can't go wrong here. Eat it all up

Have been here many times with mixed results. I think this was the final straw for us. The first insult is that if you order a bean and cheese burrito, they still charge it as a normal meat burrito... so we paid $10 for this tiny bean and cheese burrito. On top of that, it was the worst burrito I've ever had in my life. Cold cheese with a sad skid mark of beans. Don't think I'll waste my time or money here again.

Tacos Las Amazonas is super tasty! I stopped in for late night and it took them some time to complete the order, but it was worth the wait! I opted for quesadillas and added chicken fajitas. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying. One of the best quesadillas I've had in Austin! The quesadilla didn't come with rice or beans, but was relatively filling and cost ~$9. Overall: I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive food menu. Their breakfast menu is notably massive. I was highly satisfied with the food and will definitely be back to try out tacos and breakfast!

This is my favorite taco spot in Austin. They have only a couple locations and when you arrive it usually has a little covered picnic area with the different salsa jars, ready for you to sit. You can order anything from tortas, to gringas, to quesadillas, and even some agua de Jamaica, a typical Mexican drink. I personally love their tacos de pastor and their gringas of any meat. Definitely recommend if you want a bite of authentic Mexican food.

Awesome, authentic Mexican joint! We are visiting Austin for three days and stopped here already three times! Such a cool, authentic spot! And that horachta! Good prices, fresh ingredients, and good vibes. Open outdoor seating. Open til 3am and popping! Excellent spot.

This is Tacos Las Amazonas on South Congress. Start with this. Really nice people working here. Covered area to eat. This is the way flour tortillas should be done. Not too thick. Crisped up a bit right before plating. Really, really good. Let me chime in here early...the yellow salsa (not the tomatillo one) is pretty spicy. Beware. I did the chorizo and egg and bacon and egg, as usual. I hate the cheese on these, so asked them not to do it. Really good. Both. The bacon was more substantial than most. Lots of eggs in both. I came her previously and the crappy cheese ruined the tacos. Really KEY to omit the cheese.

Fast and friendly service. I need to come back and try the spinach egg and cheese tacos. I'll be back again. Hidden gem right off 35

El servicio estuvo feo, la muchacha que nos atendió estaba de malas. Los tacos estaban muy grasosos y los de campechana tenían chorizo que sabía como echado a perder, no sabía a comida mexicana como presumen. Mi mamá pidió menudo y estaba congelado y olía como si no lo hubieran lavado bien. Había muchas moscas pero la música estaba dos tres.

Came to this truck because an old friend recommended it to me a while back. Parking is limited as it's in a gas station parking lot but I went early enough that it wasn't an issue for me. I ordered 4 pastor tacos. I was looking for a full order of tacos but I was told they were sold individually. Service was quick and requested my meal to go. I opened up my bag and unwrapped my tacos. The meal wasn't appealing to the eye but I told myself it's not always pretty! I opened up the green and red salsa. Neither were really spicy so I was a little disappointed. Now... the tacos. Beyond speechless. These are some of the most flavorful pastor tacos I have EVER had in the Austin area. I mean PACKED with flavor. It made up for the salsas lacking in taste I'm excited to come back and try a different meat because if Pastor was this good the rest have to be just as good.

Highly recommend this place for a late night bite. Friendly cashier, and friendly cooks in the back. Don't expect a 5-star dining experience, but do expect some 5-star street tacos. Got the pastor, bistec, chorizo, campecha tacos, which were all very tasty. They have a smattering of breakfast items (tacos, burritos, tortas), as well as burgers (pictures of these on their menu which looked FANTASTIC). They do have outdoor seating, but we opted for takeout, waiting under 10 min for our 10+ taco order. Would like to reiterate this is the perfect cheap, late night snack. Not too heavy, not to greasy, but satisfies all your cravings.

I have frequented this spot a few times and came back again late night for some last night eats. If you are looking for Mexican Street Tacos, this is your place. For those who you don't know what traditional Mexican street tacos are, here's your lesson. They are typically served on corn tortillas and are stuffed with meat. Traditional toppings include onions, cilantro, and salsa. There is no lettuce, tomatoes, or cheese in traditional street tacos. Those toppings have been added so that they more closely resemble the tacos that most Americans are now familiar with. The price point for these tacos are a little above other restaurants and taco trucks that serve the same caliber of taco. Price point aside, these tacos are flavorful and are sure to meet the quality standards of even the choosiest palates.

I can't believe I just found this place after living in Austin longer than most people reading this have been alive. This place is not just your average taco truck. It's an establishment that's going to be around forever. To begin with, it's open 20 hours a day You can literally have some late night tortas after being out and about all night, fall out of bed I'm the morning and grab some breakfast tacos. I had El chavo torta, it wasn't bad, it wasn't great. My wife ordered 3 tacos and only finished 2, I got the al pastor, which was good. The other two she had were tripas and bistec. She enjoyed them and said the flavor was better than most. When we went they didn't have drinks but since it's attached to a gas station you can grab whatever you want in there. So overall the food is better than average, if they're busy, service might be a bit slow but you absolutely can't beat the convenience of late night food.

One of a few spots that opens till 1am/2am in south Austin . We came here after bouldering and it was pretty late. The cashier was very nice in explaining to us what each taco was and how you pronounce them correctly. Super friendly. I ordered 1 taco and tortas while my friends order lots more taco. The amount of food that came with tortas was a lot. I couldn't finish the tortas. Good amount of food and good tasting too. Would come back after bouldering.

I've never been to a better twc truck. I got a Gordita Al pastor and my child got burrito with pastor meat. Extremely tasty, lots of vegetables, onions, cucumbers. It was just fabulous. I will definitely return next time

THEY MOVED! 4619 South Congress!! This place is amazing. Everything they serve is perfect.

THEY MOVED to 5433 S Congress Ave Austin, TX 78745 It's not far from their old location- about 3 mins down the street new great location and very nice section of tables! Better than ever! Beef fajita and Al Pastor Tacos on flour are my go-to

Had this last night, amazing! Taste so good. I'm from California, but I live in San Antonio. I must say Austin has the best Mexican food, hands down. The service, the atmosphere, it's all great. Thank you!

Real deal taco truck in South Austin. Their TORTAS are really really good. Everything is fresh and cooked well. Their breakfast tacos are also on point.

Not your typical taco food truck. Hidden in the back of a car repair shop, this place is packed with locos even at 12 am . We passed by this place a few times and we always see at least two or three tables filled. We figured, we had to try it. The menu is impressive, we've been seeing many taco stand but this place goes beyond that. They have sandwiches and plate options as well. After seeing what the locals ordered we decided to order 4 tacos, and two different types of sandwiches. All were delicious. It's ran by three family member who are super friendly. The portion is amazing and price ranges from $3-$10. Highly recommend this amazing place.

You know how you're always looking for one taco truck open late and serves good food? This is the place! Amazing homemade style tacos. Authentic Aus-Mex tacos ( that's what I call Austin and tex-mex). Took less than 5 minutes for this gorgeous food that I will eat in less than 5 minutes. They are mostly Spanish-speaking, and even though I get nervous speaking in Spanish they understood me and the guys here are super friendly! Open from 5:00 or 5:30 in the evening to 1:00 or 3:00 in the morning! Love this place.

Had stopped by to buy some tacos and the pastor smelled spoiled and it tastes like it too! Had to ask for my other food extra crispy, last time I had went my food was undercooked!

Great breakfast tacos. Crispy potatoes and melts cheese. The migas tacos is also full of flavor. And good price. The people working there were very friendly and remembered me from the day before.

Someone else will have to add the "before" picture This is what's left of the "Torta del chavo" and obviously have it with an authentic Mexican coke. Price is a bit stinky but it'll be worth it. - Austin Native

FINALLY. I have been looking for a great Al Pastor spot with a proper trompo in South Austin for decades. Tacos Las Amazonas (TLA for the rest of this review) did not disappoint. Went with some Al Pastor on corn, bistec (tried on both corn & flour) and gringa (al pastor also). All were good but the Al Pastor is, rightfully, the star. The staff at TLA was friendly and attentive. I arrived before tables had been set out and they helped me get one placed immediately. Will definitely be going back and trying their tortas/gorditas/hamburgers and their various other meat offerings. Really glad I found this place and will definitely be going back when I don't feel like driving up to Riverside.

I ordered a universal salad an on the description it said it had it all like tomatoes bell peppers, onions,avacado,cucumbers an tha picture shows a huge salad an the cashier said it was huge. I got this hot salad w hardly no lettuce. All I was missing was tortillas it was all just like having fajitas. It was horrible.

Amazing food with fast service, i love how there was plenty enough tables for everyone was in a shaded area. A little pricey

Okay first off , the address sends you to the car wash! But it's right before it. It's a small taco truck but it's pretty lit up, shouldn't be hard to miss. The parking lot is horrible haha. Has potholes so be very careful. Because if you're anything like me...you don't notice until you hear the "hump!" Haha. The menu is pretty extensive, I absolutely love that they have trompo!!! It's my absolute favorite besides tripa. I ordered tacos de bistec, tripa & al pastor. My son got a quesadilla de bistec & my other son , a tórta del chavo. All things were absolutely delicious! I didn't expect the torta to be this good to be completely honest but it was mind blowing good. The tacos were crispy crispy and the trompo was so good. The tortillas are homemade and the tortas was BOMB ! I seriously can't wait to go back

$4 per taco and this is what you get. Expensive to begin with but this is crazy... What a waste of money. Will not be returning.

This is a food truck with lots of outdoor bench seating. The service was pretty fast, and they had 5 self-serve salsas that ranged from mild to hot. The AL Pastor was very good. The only issue is paying almost $10 for two tacos. If they were stuffed with meat I wouldn't mind, but they aren't. Other items seemed to have a better value like the torta which is $11. I'd be back for the AL Pastor if I'm in the area.

Never in my life have I paid over $10 for a torta at a taco truck , and since going there the first time I have went back twice more. Was it worth the price, definitely.

As Authentic as it Gets!! Las Amazonas is another Great example of the Taco food truck scene in Austin. Order 3 Al Pastor and 3 Bistec tacos. Both sets or served hot and freshly made on corn tortillas with sliced cucumbers, radishes, and limes. Great flavors and seasoning. You could taste the marinade in the AL pastor.. Bright red food truck right outside of gas station on South Congress. Can't miss it. They take both cash and card. Some dude in the parking lot was bragging about their Tortas. So now I gotta come back and try those too!!

I was expecting to get real tacos Al Pastor cooked on the trompo. Well at first that seems to be the case, but the reality is different. while they do have the meat on the trompo but they slice parts of it when it's still raw and cook on the flat top. The problem is you don't get the nice char and crisp that you get when it's roasted on the trompo. That being said, the flavor was good, and the salsas had good heat and flavor. The tortillas seem to be freshly made. i am really a bit disappointed because those tacos could be so much better!

We got food from them twice. The tortas are very good so are the quesadillas. The chicken gordita is well stuffed with meat. The tacos are ok, I was surprised that it's a full size corn tortilla; I was expecting the smaller street taco size but nevertheless the el pastor and asada meat were nicely seasoned. It has a good size seating area with benches and there is always a line!

Whenever I don't feel like cooking, I tend to always get tacos and tortas from Las Amazonas. They have a Champurado that is delicious. Horchata and Jamaica tase artificial.

Super tasty late night food! I had a quesadilla and my husband had a burrito. Afterwards, he decided he wanted a couple tacos too. He ordered two steak tacos. The gal asked him if he wanted to try pastor. He said sure, expecting one of each, but he got three! PS the roja sauce is amazing!

They have been my go to since 5 years now . ! I love their atmosphere. I love their food ! And most importantly their customer service :) thank you for these really good tacos . Friday night tacos with some walking dead series . Here we gooo!

Hi! Just wanted to leave a review concerning the phone service (food was okay... until now). I called 1/15/22 @ 7:18pm. Someone answered the phone to greet me. After literally saying one sentence, the woman said: "This girl sounds like a bitch!" I was met with ambient noise & silence, even calling hello about 5 times.

Not bad but it's over priced for the quality of taco. If you're gonna charge $3.75 for a taco, at least use quality meet that isn't rubbery. Decent flavors and nice people but there's way too many options to come back after 2 times.

Lived right down the street but just tried this place tonight for the first time. I've been missing out. These are some of the best tacos I've had period!! So good I literally put this review in immediately after my last bite.

Just being Honest the Chicken fajita tacos are mid. I could have went to taco Cabanas!!

My friend Caleb almost died from how good this place is. He's a fat, hungry Asian man that loves tacos. He said these are the best tacos he's ever had. He even inhaled a torta. I trust Caleb. 5 stars.

Ordered a quesadilla with chicken, took 30 mins then came home to see they didnt add cheese TO A LITERAL QUESADILLA. Just chicken and tortilla.
