Toyloco

My husband and I stopped here based on a single review from another traveler: "This the type of place that makes me want to degrade my other 5 star reviews to 4.5. Simply put. This place is insane." That was high praise so we had to check it out. The tacos were DELICIOUS! Hands down best steak taco I've ever had. It took a looooong time to get our food, maybe 30 minutes with only 1 other order ahead of us, but they do delivery too so maybe that's why ours took so long. Regardless, it was worth the wait.

Absolutely fantastic tacos, they have some of my favorite Al Pastor meat in Austin. Their 3 taco of the day plate is a GREAT deal and is absolutely delicious. The prices are very fair and the quality is top notch, I HIGHLY recommend Toyloco Tacos!

Got 3 Barbacoa Tacos with red and green salsa. The homemade corn tortillas were fantastic. The barbacoa and salsas were all delicious. Wasn't a fan of the Horchata though, little too sweet for my taste, but that is a minor thing.

A MUST TRY when in Austin. First of all- saw a comet fly by. Delicious tacos made to order, the guy running the food truck was exceptional. Went twice during our stay in Austin and wish we could go back already! :)

Immediate 5 stars for how tasty these are! Wow - will be back and have already sent this place to a few friends!!!!!! I got the veggie and shrimp. Fresh and tasted delicious.

This may look like an average veggie taco, but my friends THIS taco was AWESOME! I’m constantly on the hunt for new quality veggie tacos, this has now made my top 3 favorites in Austin👌🏼 loved the addition of roasted carrots and corn, and some kind of chipotle mayo generously added on top. Pro tip: you GOTTA add the avocado AND ask for the pickled onions on top (as pictured) trust me it adds perfect flavor. I ordered 2 of the same taco, and then immediately went and ordered two more of the same because how good it was 😂 I almost forgot to take a pic as I scarfed down the other taco. Also, the people had great vibes, always important for me 🙌🏼 Thank you for a lively experience, will see y’all again soon!

Honestly, these are some of the best tacos I've had in the city. Omgosh! Everything is fresh and seasoned to absolute perfection. Please, please don't stop making this delicious food. Love it!

Crispy chicharron taco — maybe one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Tacos taste FRESH with homemade corn tortilla. Not greasy or heavy at all. Also highly recommend the shrimp and al pastor. Can tacos get better than this?

WOW. Super impressed w/Toyoloco! The mini gorditas were perfect. Lightly crispy, flavorful, perfect amount of cheese and meat. Mini street tacos were fire too. Might be our new go to taco spot on the east side!

I was really pleasantly surprised by this taco truck! The menu is simple and straightforward, with a good selection of filling options. You also get to choose corn or flour for the tortillas. There are also several drink options, including horchata. The tacos are on the bigger side size-wise. Three tacos would suffice if you're not too hungry, but I would've easily been able to finish 6. (Each order comes with 3 tacos.) I tried both the barbacoa and bistek, and both meats were flavorful and perfectly cooked. The horchata was also yummy and complemented the tacos really nicely. Make sure you add on some of their green/red sauces if you want an extra kick and even more flavor. While the truck looks unassuming, it is definitely worth a trip here for the tacos! It's the perfect spot for some late night eats or even as a stand-alone dinner.

Ordered via doordash on a Friday night. A friend and I got the 6 pack of mini tacos, pastor style. We also ordered two vampiro tacos with steak. The mini tacos were delicious. They gave us two sauces, a green (spicy!) and a red. I loved the red sauce! Unfortunately, instead of giving us the two vampiro tacos, they have us two MORE orders of the mini tacos with steak. Bummed I didnt get to try that taco, but I cant be mad about 12 mini tacos lol. The steak version was just as good as the pastor! Everything was hot and packaged well, would definitely order again!

Toyloco is a cute, delicious food truck right next to HEB! They have outdoor seating in the form of picnic tables around the front of the truck. I got the California Burrito! They burrito was big, full of the good stuff (lots of guacamole!) and delicious. The house-made sauce they gave to pair with it was also tasty and not too spicy. I also ordered a cup of horchata - sweet and mild - the best cup of horchata I had! The lady who was serving us from the truck was also very nice and quick. Would definitely recommend for taco and burrito lovers!

This place is SO GOOD. I went here on a whim after going to HEB with an out-of-town guest who is notoriously picky. We got barbacoa tacos and shrimp tacos. OMG they were delicious and the best meal we had while she was here. My husband was out of town at the time and I took him there the very next week. He freaked out. We had the gobenador shrimp, a fish taco, and the mini chicken gorditas. Lots of those full-mouth MMMMMs punctuated the meal. And the next day he said, as if he were recalling a lovely vacation, he was still thinking about how good everything had been. The price is right, too. I hesitated to write this in fear of the place getting mobbed by the Austin hordes, but it certainly deserves to be.

We ordered the six mini tacos of pastor and mini gorditas of carnitas. Both orders were really good, but we are definitely coming back for the tacos. The hibiscus and horchata drinks were also delicious. Overall a great experience with great service and food.

Consistently the absolute best tacos ever. My go to's are the al pastor and the steak, both of which taste as if the meats are marinated and served inside beautiful corn tortillas. And best of all, they are super cheap compared to similar places.

Taco trucks on the East side generally tend to be good and Toyloco is pretty decent. They got all the meats and the meats are very flavorful, regardless of which you pick. My personal favorites are probably the al pastor and the grilled fish. Both of them are moist and your prototypical renditions of the classics. Your tacos also come with red or green salsa and all of them pack a wallop of heat so be warned. The mini tacos also come with some cucumber and limes, which is a refreshing cooling tool. It's a good balance of fresh, acidity and flavorful fatty meat. That said, what I can't get past is the corn tortillas they used. Mine tasted almost stale, like the really cheap ones from the supermarket that tend to give corn tortillas a bad rep. I like corn tortillas generally but like the case of sushi where the rice base is just as important, if not more important to the dish, tortillas need to be good to go with the meat. Maybe my order was an abberation, but at least for now that's what holds Toyloco back.

Excellent tacos. I had al pastor, campesano, and vampiro. These are my favorite places to eat at. Price is right and service is top notch.

Delicious little food truck in East Austin! Really enjoyed my first visit and definitely plan to visit to try a few more tacos or gorditas. They've got several tables for seating and plenty of great options to choose from on a Thursday evening. We ordered several of the tacos (asada, carnitas, al pastor, etc. each around $2-$3). Highly recommend the salsa verde- it pairs well on all their options!

Takos de asada hit the spot. 10/10 with the pickled onions and sliced cucumber on the side chefs kiss. Gracias señora

One of those late night discoveries after day drinking. The tacos here are amazing! I got the steak, fish tacos and a gringa while my friend got 3 steak tacos. We also got chips with salsa and guacamole. The tacos are pretty small but it's only $3 and full of flavor. I thought the fish tacos was amazing . I'll definitely have to come back and get one of each flavor next time.

Incredible food, quick service. The best tacos in the area, just have to catch them when they're open

Eh... It gets the job done. If you're craving tacos as obsessively as I do, then they serve tacos. I'm not sure if I got the last batch of meat for the day, but it was not fresh and I wasn't very satisfied. The price is right, but I don't know if I will return.

Move over, Veracruz. The people have spoken and there's a new mayor in Taco Town. From the good ol' days of Torchy's and Tacodeli to crowd favorites Pueblo Viejo and Discada, there is a taco stand on virtually every corner of this city. Personally, I would never have the courage to open up a taco truck and brave the fierce competition. Lucky for us, Toyloco was up for the challenge. Their tacos aren't quite your typical cebolla-cilantro street tacos or your over-the-top queso-on-fried-chicken gringo tacos, but a perfect middle ground. Did you know you could put a fried egg in a taco? I didn't. To me, Toyloco's tacos are authentic tacos, enhanced and perfected. Some pickled red onions here, some queso fresco there, an avocado or two, and BOOM, you have yourself heaven on a tortilla. And did I mention that these are the best tortillas in town? Crispy but not crunchy. Light yet scrumptious. As round as they are delicious. A thing of beauty if you ask me. And the PRICE IS RIGHT. Nothing on the menu over $4, most hover a little under $3. Now, it is important to note that these tacos are slightly smaller than what you may be used to, so I recommend getting three (four if you're starving). So you're still walking away with a meal in the $10 range. I'll take it. Also, they're very quick on your order. I love me some Veracruz and Pueblo Viejo, but those 30-45 min wait times are killer. If you're hungry and can't deal with a wait, this place is a no-brainer. In conclusion, did I just discover this place three weeks ago? Yes. Have I been five times since? No comment. I recommend the taco favorito, the loco taco, fish, and shrimp.

Great taco truck with delicious, fresh veggie options! Loved the roasted veggies. They make tortillas from scratch right in front of you.

Not impressed with their quesadilla. It was greasy and limp with hardly any cheese. The beef and bell peppers I requested to add were fine. The sour cream served on the side was nearly liquid. I'll trust the other reviews that they make good tacos, but quesadillas aren't their thing.

This place popped up on Uber Eats so I decided to give it a go. Ordered a shrimp burrito and a shrimp taco. Shrimp Burrito - I know burritos are dead to Austin, but I've had some delicious burritos in my time here, and this burrito is no exception. The shrimp was legit sized and well-grilled, and the burrito was packed with everything you want in a burrito (guac included!). Not as big as a burrito you'd get from some of those fast places like Chipotle or Freebirds, but definitely better tasting. Shrimp Taco - shrimp taco was also delicious, came on a doubled corn tortilla with pretty standard shrimp taco toppings (queso fresco, red cabbage, etc.). Overall quite tasty. Salsas - word of warning, the roasted red salsa is HOTTER than the creamy green salsa verde. This goes against all Austin taco conventions, where the creamy green looking salsa is always the spiciest. However, the flavor of both salsas was amazing, as I found myself switching back and forth between them. The burrito and taco held up without the salsas, but I enjoyed the nice kick every couple of bites. Next time I need to take some pics. Take my word for it and try them out!

Just ordered via DoorDash - phenomenal. Hard to find a good burrito in Austin (especially being from CA) but this hit the spot. Two shrimp tacos *chefs kiss* will definitely be coming back here... tomorrow

Excellent street tacos and still affordable. I had the camaron and pastor tacos and they both had great flavor. The pastor also had pickled cucumber on the side to add and it was perf. Will be back to try breakfast tacos!

OUTFREEKINGSTANDING! Dem tacos was so good. Super fast, friendly service and I'm kicking myself that I didn't order more.

Best Mexican food truck in Austin. Great customer service. Patio sitting. Cali infused

Place can be absolutely fire, if they get the order right. Would recommend ordering in person. They just can't seem to ever get our order right, and this is from over 20 different times ordering a DoorDash. Again, some of the best street tacos in Austin, but can be a huge bummer when they just flat out don't read the order ticket correctly. To consistently forget things is either a bagger issue or a language barrier. If you ask for extra anything, I promise you aren't getting it.

Tasty tacos. Portions were smaller than we are used to but food was very flavorful. We ordered al pastor and bistek tacos. Great ingredients. Love that tortilla was lightly fried.

Food was delicious and it hit the spot. Reviews are not incorrect, food is fresh and tasty. Orders taco combo took food to go. As soon as we got in the car it smelled delicious. Ordered mini taco combo it was delicious wished I would of ordered regular size tacos. Will definitely go back and try other things. Only thing I wished that this place offered was orchata water to go with the food. Overall this place was yummy! Sorry no pictures tacos smelled so good that completely forgot.

New taco joint with legit, finger-licking Mexico City style tacos (I'm from there, Chilanga from head to toe, so I can tell you). I had six mini pastor tacos for $7. The tortillas were clearly homemade, delicious, and didn't break at all. As tradition, the pastor was topped with fresh pineapple, cilantro and raw onion. The onions were toasted just slightly to reduce the bite. His homemade red salsa was the most perfect finishing touch. Make sure to ask for it! Not only is the food delicious, but it is served by the owner and chef. His name is Jose, and he is incredibly attentive and kind. Make sure to say hi. I will definitely make this my new regular taco spot. Gracias Jose por traerme un cachito de casa a Austin.

Awesome place! Love the whole menu at this place, but the California burrito is my favorite.

Every time I have been to this place the experience has been magical. Incredibly well executed tacos, solid salsa, and a charming owner make this a severely underrated dining experience. Tacos are but an expression of our humanity, and this humble taco joint channels a sublime encapsulation of what makes human beings a positive part of the universe. Recommended dishes: pastor tacos, shrimp tacos (the best in town), vampiro tacos.

This place is pretty amazing, the guy makes fresh meat tacos. The Al Pastor have a very distinct and delicious flavor. I enjoy the way they serve your food in the basket with pickled onions, fresh radishes and cucumbers.

Ordered the Pastor tacos and they are said to come with pineapple and lime, instead I got them with cucumbers and lemon??? Also got a steak burrito and pretty sure it was all lettuce and sour cream because I never got a bite of steak.

I am so excited to discover this incredible stand that's open late too. When I arrived, Jose patiently listened as I explained my wheat allergy and then he made gluten-free beef tacos that rocked my world. No alergic reaction - and I'm quite sensitive. The red salsa he makes himself was the perfect spicy touch. I especially like his choice of sweet onions slightly grilled to bump the sweet up a bit. Of course, cilantro and all the fix'ns too. Go taco bout it!

Amazing place!! So delicious! I got the carnitas tacos and they hit the spot. The chips, guac,& salsa were amazing too!

AMAZIIIIIING TACOS (specially the shrimp ones) and great customer service... I one thousand recommend!

Here for the 2nd time this week! I cannot stress enough how delicious the burrito is. Get it with steak fajita. It's not a giant Chipotle mess. This is El Paso border burrito wonderfulness. The shrimp taco is packed with flavor! Chips guacamole and salsa are order-worthy - perfect red restaurant salsa. The taco sauces, red and green, and HOT. Family inhaled the al pastor tacos. Don't forget an agua Fresca!!!

This place is delicious! I really enjoyed the mini tacos!!! The gentleman & lady were really nice, they always make sure to add salsas or whatever you may need!! I really recommend this place

Bomb little taco spot! Just went the other day got the 6 mini steak tacos and a el pastor! Bomb we good will definitely come back!

My favorite spot for tacos in Austin. Definitely a hidden gem. The carnitas are the best, but you can't go wrong. Also the salsas are delicious. Toyloco has to be on your list of go to tacos

Great late night tacos if you're in the area. Bistec taco is awesome, only wish they were open Sundays and more regular daytime hours.

This place was disappointing to me me . minature gorditas asked w For fajita was givin ground beef

Not a very welcoming vibe. Kinda rude, like I was doing them a favor by eating there. And they were out of ingredients. Weird, considering there's an H‑E‑B next door. Too many tacos places in this city. Will not be back

Really amazing. I had two of the al pastor tacos on corn tortillas. Best al pastor tacos I've had, maybe ever!

Wow, was super surprised by this place! I got a shrimp taco with a side of chips and salsa. The food was super authentic. The pricing was also super reasonable/cheap. Hands down the best shrimp tacos that I've had state side. Definitely recommend going to support this local business.

This place is really good. It looks like a run of the mill Mexican food truck on the side of the road but don't be deceived by its plain looks. It's got a high level of attention to detail. Like a special spicy sauce for fish tacos and tasty green and red salsas. The owner is friendly and speaks English.

Delicious menu of authentic Mexican standards. Street tacos, tortas, sopés, & gorditas. I had tacos al pastor on corn tortillas and a steak vampiro. The tacos al pastor are quintessential tacos al pastor. The steak vampiro is two corn tortillas with griddled Oaxacan type cheese beneath a layer of streak and pico. So damn tasty. Check this spot out; it's super reasonable for the fresh, quality food. Plus ample parking in the back.
