"Taquero Mucho describes itself as “a cute pink taqueria in the heart of Austin, Texas,” and as much as we tried, we couldn’t come up with a better description. You’ll probably notice the pink neon sign beckoning you in from West 6th Street before you even see the building. But despite looking like a Glossier flagship store, Taquero Mucho doesn’t rely on novelty alone—it’s a real taqueria that just doesn’t take itself too seriously. Order some queso flameado to find out just how stretchy cheese can be, get some enchiladas covered in griddled cheese, and pair it all with some Anti Bitch Juice—a frozen strawberry rosé that comes served in a pouch.

"Taquero Mucho describes itself as “a cute pink taqueria in the heart of Austin Texas,” and as much as we tried, we couldn’t come up with a better description. This is a place that just feels fun and lively, and doesn’t try to take itself too seriously. But despite all that, the food coming out of this Downtown taqueria is just as good as any neighborhood spot. It just also happens to look like a Glossier flagship store with just a little more neon.

"I read that Brett Baty said he took technique inspiration from a popular Austin taqueria that makes for cool social media posts, and Eater Austin is 99.9 percent sure he meant Taquero Mucho; the bright pink taco restaurant and bar in downtown Austin is known for its Instagrammable decor and — notably — two non-functional phone booths lined with florals and neon lights, which Baty noticed and imagined trying to swing a bat inside." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Much like all of the Gabriela’s Group restaurants, the downtown taco spot’s restroom is done up in a very pink aesthetic, like the reflective cherry-print wallpaper, bunches of pink disco balls, and the pink neon poop emoji." - Nadia Chaudhury
