"It’s well established that tacos and queso pair well together, and this taco mini-chain’s got a great array of the cheese dip. There’s the mildly spicy molcajete with roasted jalapenos and tomatoes; the spicer verde with jalapenos; the way-more-spicy roja with arbol chiles; and then a vegan iteration made with cashews. There’s this location in East Austin, plus food trucks and physical restaurants throughout the city. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; all food trucks feature outdoor dine-in areas and all restaurants feature indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The migas taco has been around long before Veracruz opened over 16 years ago, but sisters Reyna and Maritza Vazquez behind this trailer phenomenon took an Austin classic to the next level. And, yes, the recipe is even featured in Eater’s cookbook. Takeout orders for all locations can be placed online; there are always outdoor dine-in areas with some indoor spaces available at some locations." - Erin Russell
"In addition to serving some of the best tacos in Austin, all locations of the food truck and restaurant serve delicious aguas frescas daily, including watermelon, mango, and strawberry lime. Takeout orders can be placed online; all locations have outdoor dine-in areas and some with indoor dine-in areas." - Darcie Duttweiler
"At the essential Austin food truck, sisters Reyna and Maritza Vazquez make the best tacos in the city, served on handmade corn and flour tortillas with fresh salsas. It’s not a complete order without the migas taco and an agua fresca. Takeout and delivery orders are placed online or in person for all of its locations, plus the Veracruz Fonda restaurant in Mueller; most locations include indoor areas and all have outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
"There aren’t a ton of things that almost everyone in the city universally agrees on, but if any statement were to cross all party lines and gain universal support, it’s that Veracruz All-Natural makes the best damn migas tacos in town. Come here first thing in the morning—either to start a day of hopping around the East Side, or to recover from a long night out—and make your way through the ever-present line to enjoy some of the best breakfast tacos in Austin. Make sure to grab one of their great aguas frescas, or hop over to Fleet Coffee next door for a morning pick-me-up (we like the espresso and tonic). " - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
