Tortas El Güero

I had to stop to make a phone call, and then I saw this place. I decided to give it a try and dang. The Tortas are Awesome! I try the classic Torta Cubana!

I've been coming here for years, the food and service are always top notch. Family owned and operated, I can always trust Tortas El Güero to hit the spot.

Got the Cubano Torta. I read "Frank" and thought ... Well obviously that's not Frank as in hot dog. It's a Cubano! Im probably just translating wrong. Nope. Frank meant hot dog. The ham and cheese worked. The fried milaneza (basically super thin schnitzel) was well seasoned, but whatever pork was on top of that had some unpleasant gristle. Would I call it a Cubano? No. Would I go back on purpose? I dunno. The guy working the grill was very sweet and the salsa was legit, so maybe I'd go back for the tacos.

Polite, tasty, hand-sani. Would recommend. Smoky red salsa sneaks up on you - make sure to get some extra!

Always so good. The owner's are so friendly, and always remember us even though we don't go as often anymore.

Great taste for your money!! Service was great!! Really enjoyed the food truck vibe.

Amazing. Had no idea a sandwich could be Mexican. Going back tomorrow.

Bad service the guy is really sarcastic and didn't even put lettuce in a simple fajita torta.

Just discovered the spot, loved it at first try! Very delicious food. Cash only venue. Very super friendly.

Finally got to THE bus. The man was very nice and understanding that my Spanish sucks. The Tortas were yummy. I need to start going here instead of the Taco Bell across the street. It's way better and made with love. Cash only!!

The guy running this truck is doing it right. Good attitude, good food, great price don't drive past this truck without stopping

Solid Torta place located off Cameron road, just a short jaunt north of downtown. Keep in mind it's cash only but this place was great. A lot of places around Austin tend to put beans in their Tortas which makes them heavy in book. So I always tend to prefer that go a fresher route. Avocado is always a better route. Got the Diabla #6: Milanesa (breaded chicken cutlet), chorizo, avocado, cheese and egg (in an omelette form). Sandwich was big and super reasonably priced at $6.50. Really have to say these Tortas go amazing with hot sauce, and I finished mine up without it feeling heavy. Was surprisingly good, no fuss. They have a ton of different combos you can do, and they only get crazier than what I listed. Bring your appetite for sure!

Stop for this School Bus!!! Tortas El Guero is in the parking lot with Guthrie Cleaners located on Cameron Rd behind Capital Plaza. I had a $2.50 chicken fajita taco and a $5.00 chicken quesadilla. WOW! The chicken fajita taco was served street style...but the serving was generous and well worth $2.50. The quesadilla was cooked perfect with just the right amount of crisp. They do not skimp on the cheese either. It had the right amount of melted cheese to be enjoyed with each bite. My favorite part is that they add fresh sliced avocados to the quesadillas. The homemade hot sauce was very enjoyable too. Tips: They are closed on Wednesdays and only take Cash.

I got off of work late today. The last thing I wanna do is cook. So I came to tortas el Guero and they are honestly the best Mexican style tortas. Number one is my favorite. The food is prepared as you order it so everything is fresh and the cook is Very generous with the ingredients. They have outdoor seating and of course they also make to go orders and you can always have a cold drink with your meal. I am in love with this please oh and did I mention that it's very economic I got to hold meals for $19

This was really good and they where really nice all my friends like coming here recommended:) And the Tortas where soo delicious

Tortas El Guero was around before food trucks were cool. These guys have been doing their mini-school bus thing for well on a couple of years. I've always been impressed by the quality of the food they're pumping out of this spot. This last go round I got a quesadilla with fajita and a sincronizada. The quesadilla was gigantic, stuffed full of fajita, beans, jalapenos and tomatoes. The flavor on those babies is reminiscent of Mexico... and not of dry chicken breast and mozzarella like most places where you order up that particular item. Their sincronizada is different than what I'm used to -- but equally tasty. Ham, cheese and beans between two flour tortillas. Dip it in their legendary green salsa or the smokier tomato based one and it's all you can do not to cram more in your pie hole. Prices are great -- those two items costing me $8 -- and they are ready super fast. Definitely a stop to make if you're at Nomad or Animal Trustees for a filling, inexpensive, local meal.

Yet another entry in the ever expanding food truck scene in Austin. I expected tacos but was pleasantly surprised by El Guero. Although they do have a few tacos on the menu, they specialize in Mexico City style tortas, which are basically some really big sandwiches with a load of toppings. Having never experienced an authentic Mexico City style torta, I asked what was recommended and the cook advised to order a #1 and a #7. The #1 consists of cuban breaded steak, shredded pork leg, ham, franks (yes, hotdogs), mozzarella cheese and some veggies. Yes, all that stuff on one sandwich! The #7 is chlanga steak, chorizo, cheese and veggies. All sandwiches are served with pickled jalapenos (on them or on the side) and are accompanied by a very spicy chipotle sauce. All tortas are served on really good bread, which is lightly toasted and buttered. I can't speak to how authentic these are, or what the difference between a Cuban style torta and a Mexico City style torta is, but they were really tasty. They are also huge! Mexican Cokes and Fanta are available and they have a number of covered tables for your dining pleasure. Have a torta and then walk over the Nomad's for a nightcap. Really different for taco truck fare and quite good. They have a wide range of toppings, so check the menu picture I uploaded.

These tortas are amazing! Had the #1 (Cubana) and it is probably the best torta I ever had. Highly recommended!!!

Best street food in town no doubt the tortas are the best and guero is a really laid back person

These are great tortas. A friend of mine and I went by here after enjoying Nomad's happy hour (the synergy between drunk food and newly-drunk people has got to be one of the most fertile entrepreneurial territories in Austin or anywhere), and were quite impressed. He got a #2 Napolitana for $6, which came with milanesa, pork leg, ham, and cheese, plus the usual fillings. I got a #6 Diabla for $7, which came with milanesa, chorizo, ham, cheese, and eggs. They came out in less than 10 minutes, huge, fresh, and smelling great in their large crusty rolls. We did the obligatory halfsies trade, doused our respective torta chunks in their (excellent) hot sauce, and enjoyed some great drunk food. Not quite as good as the ones at Mi Tradicion, but then Mi Tradicion isn't stumbling distance away from a bar, either.

Good tacos great price the meat is chopped fine that's the best way to do street tacos ( more of the meat gets seasoning so more flavor).

I REALLY wanted to like this place. I've driven past it so many times and wanted to stop. Finally the other night I had my chance. I parked my scooter while being stared at by the customers (evidently they don't get many customers on scooters). I went up to the trailer to look at the menu board, understanding most, but not all of the Spanish. I was just about to look up a mysterious word or two on my handy iPhone translation app when a very nice man that was waiting for his order pointed out they also had a menu board in English. I smiled and thanked him but was grumbling inside about not getting to use my new app. Anyway, I ordered the Napolitana torta (breaded steak, pork, ham, cheese). I've had several tortas around town and these were different. Personally, not my style. It didn't taste bad, just not anything I would go back and try again. I give them 3 stars instead of 2 because they were very nice and their food stand was a cool school short bus :)

Great tasting tortas around. Made just like you find in Mexico city, D.F., The menu is very small and limited but it makes for quick and speedy service. Eating here is very limited; only two picnic benches. Most customers take theirs to go. I intend to stay there, enjoy my meal with nice weather, and indulge in small talk with other customers or owner.

Super nice staff and the food was amazing! Definitely recommend. Authentic! I got the steak tacos with avocado and cheese. The salsa is spicy and incredible!

This place is great. The tortas are on point and the sauces he has are tasty. White people like to complain about stupid little shit at places like this and they don't even know how the god damn food is supposed to be. They don't come from the culture so how can they be the authority on Mexican cuisine?! I'm sick of these babies! This place rules get over it!
