Austin isn’t just about live music and tech; it's a taco lover's paradise where tacos have practically become their own food group. From late-night bites to weekend brunch staples, these local favorites show off the city's diverse culinary creativity.
Here’s where we’re heading for some of the best tacos in town.

Vaquero Taquero
104 E 31st Street | Central Austin | @vaquerotaquero
What started as a modified push-cart near the Mexic-Arte Museum by two brothers from the Rio Grande Valley and Monterrey has evolved into a must-visit spot in Hyde Park. Vaquero Taquero's al pastor is legendary, carved straight from the trompo, and their handmade tortillas are the real deal. The brothers brought their family recipes to Austin, and you can taste the tradition in every bite.
Güero’s Taco Bar
1412 South Congress Avenue | South Congress | @guerostacobar
A South Austin institution, Güero’s has been serving up tacos since Cathy and Rob Lippincott transformed a former Central Feed and Seed store on South Congress in 1995. Known for their hand-shaken margaritas and live music, Güero’s isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a piece of Austin history. Don’t miss the Tacos al Pastor, served with a side of live music from the oak garden.
Taco Flats
1110 West Lynn Street | Clarksville | @tacoflats

Taco Flats was the place to be in the late '70s if you wanted tacos with a side of good times. Now, the revived Taco Flats is where old Austin meets new, keeping that laid-back vibe alive while serving up some seriously tasty tacos. It’s the kind of spot where you’ll run into old friends and make new ones over a plate of carnitas or a cold beer.
De Nada Cantina
4715 East Cesar Chavez Street | Govalle | @denadacantina
Tucked away in East Austin, De Nada Cantina is where traditional Mexican flavors meet modern Austin flair. The vibrant atmosphere, colorful décor, and laid-back energy make it a perfect reflection of the city itself. The tacos here are a blend of tradition and innovation, making it a favorite among locals who know where to find the best bites.

Whether you grab one on your way to work or savor it with a cup of coffee at your favorite spot, these tacos are an essential part of the local food scene.
