Taqueria 7 Estrellas #2

Yall… the food is BOMBBBB I got the quesabirria tacos and they’re amazing! I went here with my mom and she got a menudo. The food was so fresh you can see the smoke coming out of them. Their limones are so juicy😩 the workers and service was so nice. They bring you ur food when ur seated and bring you the spicy sauces. Definitely recommend. 10/10 This restaurant is underrated!!!

This spot is really gaining popularity! They began as a food truck and have now settled into a cozy little home in a shopping center in north Austin off North Lamar. It’s a cute hole-in-the-wall, but the food is totally authentic—just like what you’d find south of the Rio Grande. I've only had the chilaquiles and the pastor taco so far, and they were absolutely delicious! I have a feeling I’ll be stopping by for lunch regularly from now on!week.

High quality made food. The Al pastor and tripa was crispy, juicy and flavorful. Their handmade corn tortillas are made fresh. The alambre with camaron and choriqueso are what you would get at a high end restaurant without that price point. Overall 10/10 for food and service.

I had a good experience at taqueria 7 estrellas number 2. I've been telling my co-workers at work about it. I went with some friends who or of course Latin descent maybe and I'm a black guy,so I really don't know what's really good but when I had these guys. Everything from the taco the jalapeno with cheese inside of it stuck wrapped around bacon It was all good. Fresh hot flavorful. They're not going nowhere

Went here with some friends and we all really enjoyed the food and the people working there were so sweet!! We got tacos al pastor, a pambazo, and some of the aguas frescas. TOO good 😇😇‼️

I unfortunately killed my tacos too fast so I didn’t get a picture of when they came out! I had 2 Pastor tacos and they are my favorite! I also had 2 Lagua they where super tender and delicious!

This place is amazing. A friend of mine has been raving about this place, and we finally tried it and it was fantastic. The food is fresh, high quality and I love that the pastor tacos are crispy and not greasy. This is by far my favorite the tacos place in the Austin area!!

Double Tostados De Tinga. Delicious, hand made tortillas fried exceptionally with shredded chicken. Delicious and will definitely come back again! 24 hrs Authentic Mexican Food.

They were open at 1am on Christmas and after bar hopping downtown it was nice to have some delicious tacos. Everyone working was cool and helpful. The food was fast, they also serve beer so my friend was happy. I tried two suadero tacos on flour. Warning: their sauces are pretty spicy. I inhaled these so fast that I then ordered two chicken tacos on flour and tried their pineapple agua these were also good and the pineapple water was amazing! I drank it the next day when all the ice melted and it was still really flavorful. I will definitely be back even if it is just late night munchies; they actually marinate their meat and you will taste the difference. They also served both sets of tacos with cucumber which was refreshing after trying the verde sauce. Note: they do accept plastic payment now.

Best place 10/10 good service great food... what else could you want !! And it's affordable too they take pride in what they do .

First time here and not disappointed!! Absolutely amazing, and portions are huge!! Best tacos I have had in a while!

If I could give 0 I would. No the only reason I gave it two stars was the melon water and the customer service the food was trash. If you like spending 100$ for mid tacos and watered down "strawberry horchata" no bueno. Absolutely disappointed in the price I paid plus if you pay card you have to pay an extra 7$ for "taxes" I get it to pay taxes but 100$ for 12 tacos is not okay food wise 0 stars turn around and go somewhere else.

The tacos were amazing. I flew in from Chicago craving tacos. The carne asada was great, the meat was well cooked. The rodeo tacos were also great. Will go back there again on my next road to Austin.

This is my spot. Everything rules. It's open late, there might be a band, maybe a guy selling candy. Get a pombazo and change your life.

Comida sin sabor y mal servicio estuve esperando más de 30 minutos por mi comida a las 4 de la mañana y me pusieron un nombre incorrecto haciéndome perder mi tiempo aún más

Way over priced!!! Tacos are alright, and love the service, but as a taco lover this place is crossed out on my list not to mention I had a horrible stomach ache after.

Best mexican street tacos in Texas!!! Must get the al pastor tacos, tostada and definitely get the bacon wrapped jalapeno with green onions. This is our go to place for late noght food

This place is such a vibe with the live music Los De Taqueria 7 Estrellas has such good style and good music!! We tried the torta Cuban and it delicious the best one I've tried so far it's unique in its own way !. My bf has been coming here since he's been a kid so he knows a secret menu item and it's the best quesadillas I've had ! We also tried the Birria tacos which the owner was kind enough to give us for free and they were delicious and crispy just how I like them !! The best birria I've tasted in town . I 10000% recommend this place ! It's my go too after a nice night out it always hits the spot

Don't let this unassuming taco trailer in front of a tire shop sway your judgment. 7 Estrellas has the best Al Pastor taco I've ever consumed. This is a late night taco truck, their hours are 8pm to 4am during the week or until 5am during the weekend! I've heard that there are sometimes people playing instruments and making this quite the hangout. Along with the al pastor, we also tried the carnitas, which was a little on the drier side, but they have incredible red and green sauces in the fridge in front of the truck. The drinks were a bit warm since we showed up right at opening time, but since I was drinking water, I didn't mind this at all. Not only are these tacos delicious, but they're wonderfully priced. We bought four tacos, a bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed jalapeno, a coke and a water and only paid $16. What to Order: Al Pastor Taco, Bistec Taco Pros [+]: Price, Pastor, Late Night, Authentic, Awesome Customer Service Cons [-]: Only Late Night Hours, Oily Tortillas, Only Outside Seating

Kind of expensive for tacos ....but they are delicious. The gentlemen taking the orders is also ....not huge into being pleasant. ‍ but i would still go back. But maybe not often.

The food was over priced, has no sessioning, meet is very chewy, drinks are ass and water down. Pastor had no pineapple 2nd location is dog shit

Went here w a group , we all felt nauseous and our stomach hurt right after legit almost threw up . The food was horrible too for the price . Restaurant price for bad food .

Nice people but shitty food. 2nd location was A BIG FAIL . strawberry horchata was watered down. Tacos were flavorless only thing that had any flavor was the pineapple, and even that I only got 1 piece of pineapple. I feel lied to and deceived. Also paid 53 dollars for 7 tacos. Nice people but tacos were MID at most. Disappointed . Should've followed the signs I was given. No one was here at 1am which is you're dead giveaway. It's bad

Their so called second location was under par and didn't meet the expectations as the original but it's THIER fault for saying they relocated to the pulga parking lot instead of changing THIER hours on the google maps app don't recommend at all makes me embarrassed to even have taken my friends here to eat to be extremely dissatisfied but ey puro pinche cowboys!

diggity doo and then some Britches..Some of the best mexican food I have had...The bacon wrapped cheese stuffed jalapeños are to die for..had pastor/asada/chorizo tacosthe pastor gordita was so freaking good... It was cold so we took food back to our hotel...TG we did or we would of ordered more..lol thanks so much from the Gringo

Most definitely one of the best taco trucks in Austin. If you are looking for some great tacos late at night this is the place to go. You won't be disappointed

This place is awesome the times i gone they had music playing and a few people performing with their instruments and singing. The people who took my order are very kind. The food is amazing best street tacos I have tried around the area the jalapeños are also very delicious some are spicy so watch out ;)

RIP OFF! Food was tiny portions and they forced me to purchase a mask. Do not go here.

Not only was the food terrible & wrong, they also scammed us ! They tell us a price & then charge a whole different price! Cash is cheaper & they try charging more with a card! It was our second time coming here, last time the lady gave a price of 26 but when I was going to pay in cash, she said 38 & I was like "excuse me!" , She tried doing it fast so I wouldn't notice, & I ask why & she was like it's because your paying with card I was yeah I'll pay cash! So it's not the first time they have scammed, they probably do it all the time ! Since most people go after a party or club ! Do not recommend the fresh natural water are all water down, & not natural as well. Over price, & over rated ! Will never be back !

I honestly am rating this place for their drinks. Just thinking about their mangonada is making my mouth water. Unfortunately, I got 2 that night. During my first trip I got the watermelon fresca...when I tell you it's so good. It's so good. My friend stays across the street from this place and I don't know how I could do it with those tasty drinks at my disposal. Very excited to come back just to get a nice drink.

I really enjoyed coming to this place. It was my first time. One thing I can tell you, the food is awesome. It's a must if you like Mexican food.

Be careful of a place that doesn't post prices, the amount you pay depends on the color of your skin. I remember going previously late night and thinking the prices were high. Tonight they tried to charge me $20 for four tacos and a sope. I don't think so! After sitting down to wait I returned to ask how much a taco cost. $3 was the answer. A sope? $4. She then began to explain that since I had wanted "con todo" she had charged m an additional $4. For onions and cilantro? Really? I don't know of any other taqueria in the world that charges for cilantro and onions. Her and the cook began stammering about a bacon-wrapped pepper that the cook was suddenly putting on the plate to pretend that was the justification for the higher price. Bullshit. I took back my $20 and went down the street to Tacorrido for a pound of carnitas for $16. THESE PEOPLE ARE THIEVES.

The bottom line is there's a whole world of late night taco stands & taquerias out there, they're cheap & good eats, and you're going to be the goofy Anglo guy named Dave unless you speak Spanish or go with a pro. I went with a pro. I know my way around breakfast tacos, but I don't know Jack Cabeza about the real stuff. I liked the pineapple here, the corn tortillas were good, and the green sauce kicks nicely. I'm just slightly apprehensive working with homemade sauces in squeeze bottles that are sitting around outside on tables. It's a Dave thing. Given a choice, I'd rather have bistek chunks instead of cubes, it's easier for me to focus on their taste. But having said that, two solid tacos for a flat four bucks outside on à beautiful late night Saturday? Yeah, I'll come along.

I've got a new friend in Taqueria 7 (aka Taqueria Siete Estrellas, aka Taqueria Seven Stars, aka "Taqueria Why The Heck Haven't We Come Here Before????!?"). On a Tuesday evening at the Draughthouse with Tony B., we discussed this little taco trailer. We both independently tried to stop by on our way back north. Going there is old hat to Tony, who loves munching on some "face" (Cabeza de Res = Head of Cow). Well, Tuesday is their day off. So we were out of luck. But otherwise, they open at around 7pm and stay open "till 3amish", putting out some pretty righteous Mexican streetfood. The "al pastor" is the real deal. That apparently will be wife's go to taco. The "face" was roast beef-esque (in a good way). And for some reason, though I usually try and avoid cilantro (yeah, sue me) everything we sampled was enhanced by a squeeze of lime, and cilantro. The green salsa was fresh and provided a flavorful burn (in the small quantities we "gringos" applied, we still need to try the red). And the torta cubana.... wow. Cheesy meaty awesomeness. Soo many more things to try: sopes, tortas, enchiladas, etc. And the kind lady at the window is very patient with us and has a great smile. Taqueria 7 does it's thing, and does it well. We went last night for my "birthday dinner", when there were plenty of hipsterdoddy burgers, or plates covered with uchi we could have sampled instead. But it was soothing to sit in this little tire shop parking lot on foldy chairs after dark, not worrying about a 2+ hour wait in a line, or whether my service would be affected by what I was wearing, or that my tab would exceed my college apartment's monthly rent. (We splurged, and got Mexican Cokes, and ran up a huge $13 tab.) When we want to get away from the hustly-bustledness of life, and can't take the time to head to Isla Mujeres and dip our toes in the ocean while sipping on a Jarritos, we'll do the next best thing and head to Taqueria Siete Estrellas. PS: Previous (and only sub-4*) reviewer: Those aren't 'freshly cut beats' (I like to sing Kanye's freshly cut beats. They're dope, yo.). They are radishes. PPS Not the easiest place to find. See my "Tip" if you're having trouble.

I don't know about you, but after a few beers...nothing hits the spot like a couple face tacos... Yes, I said face tacos. OK...so technically Cabeza de rez. That would be cow head to the rest of you. Lovingly slow cooked until buttery, served on corn tortillas with shredded cabbage, cilantro, and cucumbers. The succulent meat was well seasoned and potentially habit forming. Once these hit the table...all stimulating conversation came to an abrupt halt... Now...being the eating machine I am, I also ordered up a Torta Cubana. A crusty roll gave way to a soft interior overflowing with spicy chorizo, grilled ham, avocado, tomato, lettuce, and a hot dog. HOT DOG?!?! Oh yeah baby...a grilled split hot dog was nestled in the midst of this delectably messy sandwich. Force meat tube steak. Love sausage. Bologna cylinder. This sandwich could easily take the centerfold in any food porn mag... The menu was a list of all sorts of happy foods...pastor, tripas, bistek, and a variety of torta selections. Massive tubs of horchata and agua fresca were also present. If you find yourself driving up N Lamar in the Rundberg area, be sure to keep an eye open for this festive trailer and tent. I guarantee you will not be sorry you stopped!

The food was ok. Authentic taco stand open late night for people getting out of bars/clubs, but I wish that there was more information about the food options/pricing. Most of the menu was in Spanish and didn't know that the pepper wrapped with bacon is an additional price. Had the strawberry horchata and didn't like it, thought it was too sweet. Overall it's ok for what you pay for at that hour

Great food, cheap, fast. What more could I ask for? The person who took my order was very patient with me, and the food was very good. It was even good reheated the day after. I got sincronizada with a bacon wrapped jalepeno, and a gordita, setting me back $10. I think that's on-par for Austin's relatively more expensive tacos. Cash only when I visited. Be aware.

This place had the feel of my favorite place back in dallas. But couldn't live up to it at all.... sad. Got 4 different tacos. Bistec, the traditional in my book, was on the bland side, but the meat was really tender. Al pastor was good, was grilled really crispy which is a plus. Chicken fajita was bland, but tender, was a bit weird cause it tasted like they were just cooked in liquid.Beef fajita was cooked well, lacked seasoning as well.... This place didn't do onions, but cabbage and cilantro instead, and a side of freshly cut beats. Was interesting.. beats served as a pallet cleanser I'm guessing. Solid 3 stars

After stopping at 5 different place (been close ) we end up at this truck taco place ! We hand a great experience the Tacos al pastor are super good and the Gorditas are awesome ! I'll be coming back again.

A couple bad salsa days = too many in my book. I didn't even know salsa could go bad prior to these two occasions. On top of that, they're pretty stingy when it comes to extra salsa containers. If you're like me, two of those tiny thing is barely enough salsa for three tacos. You just gotta be upfront and ask for more if you're taking it to-go, even if they seem outwardly stingy. Yes, they'll sometimes hold back and act like they don't know what you're asking for and make you feel totally awkward even though you've asked for extra salsa every time you come. The wait just seems to get exponentially longer...which may be a good thing for them. If you come at 10-12 at night, expect a 35-45 minute wait time for 3 tacos. Recently, I've found another taco joint that fulfills all my needs in terms of competitive prices, authentic taste, unlimited-always-fresh salsa, convenience and efficiency. So, I had to come back to this review and take off a couple stars to be more accurate in my rating for the new joint. It's been real, Taquerias Estrellas. But it's definitely a you thing, not a me thing.

This place is great. Fantastic pastor and it's always a party after midnight! Love that they give you onions on the plate and they are very generous with the portions. A really authentic and fantastic spot.

Really authentic Mexican street food and tacos. Absolutely delicious. Open super late, food truck style but with ample seating. Add a corn on the cob or bacon wrapped cheese stuffed jalapeño to your order.

This place is too expensive for the food served. I paid 80+ dollars for 3 orders of tacos. I also purchased an agua fresca who was clearly made from cheap powder. Never going again.

it was alright. there was more cilantro than meat. chile was basically water. "agua fresca" was not "fresca" it was straight water. there's no listing of the prices and it came out to $18 a plate.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Their Tacos!!! They are AMAZING!!!It's like heaven on earth in my mouthI can honestly say this is the best taco spot up in north Austin. The workers are beautiful and very kindly people and the tacos are so worth the drive! If you haven't tried their tacos than you need to...like NOW! They stay open passed 2am so go get you some delicious tacos specially some pastor!

I liked this place, the tacos were pretty good I also really liked the bacon wrapped jalapeño. It's open late and despite being Saturday night and being busy I got my food pretty quickly. They have a lot of seating for the people wanting to grab a bite and eat there. The taco truck is covered in lights so when driving by you really can't miss it! If you like food trucks or taco stands you should stop by this one and give it a shot! I can totally see myself going back!

I've heard/read great things about 7 Estrellas, stopped by on whim a few nights ago. I was surprised at how expensive it is! $19 for 2 tacos, enchiladas, and a soda. Way too much .. I can handle $2/taco, even if a tad skimpy. Enchiladas were mediocre at best - too much tortilla, not enough filling - and way too expensive! Also difficult to place order (hear them) due to tv volume so loud (it's near window). I'll give it 2.5 stars and willing to try one more time.

This taqueria trailer is located in the parking lot of the yellow-signed La Chica Tienda convenience store on the corner of Gault and Anderson. Walk to the window with $3 and say "dos pastor" Walk away with two of the best tacos al pastor you've ever had and a smile. (not sure about their hours... I've only tried dinner and late-night) *update - posted approximate hours and learned that they make their own corn tortillas*

After working another 12 hour day yesterday, I was not in the mood to drive far for dinner. It was a little after 11pm, and my brother and I were just going to grab some Taco Cabana. Luckily, I remembered Don P.'s Review on this little taco stand, and we decided to try it out. Thank you Don, if you had not reviewed this place, I probably would have never stopped by. When we walked up, it was obvious that the owner did not speak English, and I know how to say like 5 things in Spanish. So, seeing that we were having trouble deciding what do get, the owner called his daughter over. She was awesome. I asked her what her favorite was, and after a slight pause, she said "All, I like all of them". We talked for a little while, asking what part of Mexico her family is from, and how long they have lived here, etc. The family is from Mexico City, they've been here for 9 years, and she is one of 7 children. She said she could be home right now, doing laundry or cleaning. But she would rather be working. She wants to go to culinary school and become a chef. And if she can cook anything like her father can, she will do very well. Per Don's recommendation we ordered three al pastor, which were yummmmazing. We also ordered three cabeza de res. Head meat=delicious. And three bistek, which were good, but a little chewy. She told us we could order one more to get the special 10 tacos for $15. We asked which one she thought we should try and she said "The guts, get the guts". So we did, and she asked if we wanted it "Well done. You know, kind of crispy". Sure, why not? I have never had tripe before, but it was surprisingly good. But next time, I think I will stick with the al pastor. What makes this place special is the devotion you see to making good food. It's a taco stand, but this family really cares about the food they are making. The meat is prepared well, the sauces are amazing. And they use cabbage instead of onions, which the daughter sounded really proud of. She said"It's what makes us special, everyone else puts onions and cilantro on their tacos, but we put cabbage and cilantro, it's really good." I can only agree, it was very good.

Do you like bacon? My tacos came with a stuffed jalapeno wrapped in bacon. I would say that was the star of the show and why it earned the fourth star. I showed up Friday night around 2:30 am and order two cabeza de res ( I was told this is barbacoa), two Suadero (beef ) and an Agua Pina. The plate had everything I could have wanted. It had bacon, cilantro, a grilled green onion, radish, and of course the tacos. It was beautiful. While I did enjoy the food, I couldn't help but feel something was wrong. Maybe it was because the four tacos set me back 11 bucks, 2.75 a taco? I'm not sure because prices were not written anywhere. The tortillas were corn, I usually get flour, I wasn't offer the choice. The barbacoa was not the slow cooked oily mess I was use to. All tacos tasted good, nothing spectacular, just good.The agua pina had a strange texture about it that I can't describe. It tasted good but again, something about it wasn't right. The only time I see myself returning is if I wanted the beautiful Taqueria 7 Estrellas brand of tacos or if I wanted tacos really bad really late. Otherwise, for the price, there are plenty of other taco spots. WARNING! The parking lot entrance is big enough for one car only. Please be careful entering the lot especially if you're making a left.

Food is amazing... The gorditas are to die for ... Tacos are also delicious. Great experience... Service could be a little better but that's what u expect at a taco stand

One line summary - good food, just make sure to clarify what you're ordering The tacos were great, but the menu was confusing. Everything was listed in one column, so we assumed they were all tacos. After ordering, I got 4 tacos and 4 tortas. Way too much for me to eat, but the food was pretty decent.

CAUTION! I ate here with my partner and the food seemed to be fine. I also ordered an horchata, which was given with delay and tasted different - but kinda good. I waited forever for my food and didn't want to complain about the funny tasting agua fresca. I was trying to be nice. It tasted like agua de melon was kinda mixed in there. About 24 hours later, I became INCREDIBLY sick. I woke up covered in sweat, chills, fever, and a bout of irregularity. I could hardly walk and didn't wanna talk. I didn't want to do anything but sleep for a couple of days. As it stands, the lab is still testing for what I have, but they believe it to be e. Coli, Salmonella, or the like. It's been a week and I still struggle to go about my daily life, and I'm taking everything I can to feel normal again. My partner and I mostly eat home cooked meals and that was our diet for the in-between time in dining here. I will never return again, and won't recommend this place to anyone. Even if I didn't get sick on the food, I still don't trust the cleanliness of this place.

Growing up in Mexico I've come to know what true good taquitos taste like. My bf and I were very excited to try this spot. Unfortunately she missed the mark. WARNING - if they ask you if you'd like Chile and cebolla, they mean as an extra charge. The bacon wrapped & stuffed cheese chiles are $3 each and the cebolla Is $1. That adds up quick ! Ok so we got some Al pastor & bistec tacos AND gorditas with bistec pastor and asada. The flavor was not there yall. The meat lacked seasoning and proper cooking in its own juices and ultimately that slight crispiness you expect from well cooked meat. The gorditas were ok , mainly due to the very oily gordita maza. Also there's no pricing for anything listed anywhere. But trust she's not I'm the budget friendly side of street tacos. Ultimately she's basic confusing over priced and lacks that flavor. But the staff is nice. Also the salsa are not spicy

Absolutely Loved the food!! Authentic indeed! We were hungry so didn't have time to take a picture. Even though we might have mixed our plates the food was delicious! We ordered tacos & it came with grilled sweet onions and jalapeño wrapped in bacon. I had a agua fresca horchata, never had it before. The drink was alright and then something I needed after every bite. Over all we were all very pleased and left wanting more. Definitely recommend this place. We've been coming to Austin for years and surprised we're just now coming to it. Definitely better then Taco Cabana. We give you 10 stars!! LOVED,LOVED, LOVED, THE TACOS!! We're definitely Coming back!

I don't write reviews unless the place surprises me in a great way or the place blows and I threw the food away. This place exceeded my expectations. Love the fajita tacos. They don't speak a lick of English though, which makes it difficult to order exactly what you want. Most of the time I have no clue what I'm eating, but it tastes great.

We actually stumbled upon this little gem while looking for another restaurant that served al pastor. Turns out the other restaurant had closed down but I considered it a sign from God that after driving across town for al pastor the one parking lot we stopped in for directions happened to contain an al pastor trailer. My girlfriend is not terribly adventurous when it comes to trailer food but I persuaded her to at least try one taco and if she didn't like it we could go somewhere else. After one bite I was back out of the car and purchasing 6 more tacos. That was last week and we went back this weekend too. I have lived in Mexico and have eaten a lot of great street food and this is up there with any of it. Definitely worth a try. The other tacos are pretty good but the al pastor is definitely their specialty.

It was very late@ night and since I'm on a trailer tasting adventure I decided to yelp the taquerias that we're open at midnight. I refused to drive dt and deal with drunken people. Ii drove down n.Lamar and saw what yelp said was still open. The place was poppin! a good sign of great Mexican food is when you see lots of Latinos waiting for food and only speak Spanish. You also see just one white man trying to get some food, good food that is.The aguas frescas are ok, the horchata needs more condensed milk but it's still good. I would suggest the gorditas, any meat. The tacos al pastor are great, and the salsas spectacular. I'm sad that didnt find this place sooner but will stop by when ever its feasible. Very authentic mexico city tacos for sure....
