What is this magic?! This place is SO good it made me sad I've lived in Austin for years and haven't tried it till now. Don't wait any longer, go there and find out for yourself. The best asada I've ever had. The bean and cheese taco I ate in two bites. I'm so excited to come back here and try everything on the menu. Service was fast, friendly, and the lady made a funny joke. I mean what more can you really ask for here. They are incredible.
Saturday 7/27/2024 I made a DoorDash pick up order and got a pastor taco $3.25, asada taco $3.25, and barbacoa quesadilla $13. The service was straightforward and easy. - The pastor taco and asada taco were both fairly priced and pretty solid tacos. I liked the pastor taco a bit more than the asada but both are worth it. - The barbacoa quesadilla comes with vegetables (lettuce,tomato, jalapeño, and avocado), sour cream, and the side sauce. The quesadilla was alright but I wasn't too crazy about the barbacoa. The side sauce that came with the items was SPICY. Overall, the tacos at las trancas are well priced and decent. If you're ever in the mood for some tacos then you should check this place out.
SO GOOD!! My friends and I were visiting Austin for the week and this place was only 10 minutes away from our airbnb. Some of them came the night before and were raving about the tacos so we went with everyone the next day. I can see the hype!! The staff was super friendly and the food was amazingg. I got 3 tacos (2 pastor and 1 barbacoa) with. Mexican Coke. The pastor was the crowd favorite and it was really good but my personal favorite was the barbacoa! SOO juicy and flavorful and went soo well with the red and green salsa. The green salsa was super spicy but it was so tasty. I wish I could take a bottle of it home and put it on everything!! There is only outside seating but the tables have plenty of shade and fans circulating around. There is also a private parking lot in the back of the taco truck where we could park! We can't wait to come back here when we are in Austin next time!!
Unassuming from the outside, but some of the best tacos I've had! 3.25 a taco but well worth it. I had asada, barbacoa and pastor. There's also plenty of seating and shaded patio seating as well. They came hot and fresh in foil (important). Will definitely be back!
Las Trancas is the place for authentic tacos. No Tex-Mex here! I'm a fan of their asada and lengua tacos. The asada this time was a little dry, but it was still delicious. The lengua was probably my favorite because it's seasoned well and it just melts in your mouth. Their red salsa definitely has a kick to it so be prepared for the spice. I'm a corn tortilla gal, and I love that they use el Milagro corn tortillas! IYKYK They have a small parking area, but you're probably better off parking at the side streets since it can get pretty packed. Service is quick and they're able to take cash or card.
Fresh tortillas and the perfect balance of chicken, flavor, and spice. I had to go back for seconds. The food came out fairly quickly and I highly recommend
This place is legit and a food truck gem. I wish I knew about it when I lived on Riverside. The employees were quick and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious - because it's my first time here I got three tacos and they were all great. My biggest mistake is not getting them all on corn tortilla. There is an awning that can give shade but only outdoor seating. The prices were higher than some of the menu photos on here but not by much. It was $3/taco and there's a discount if you pay with cash.
I have good memories of coming to Las Trancas a few years ago and getting their chicken quesadillas, but this time I went I saw it wasn't on the menu, so I am not sure if my memory is correct. I got the jamon quesadilla plate, which was warm and came with tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, and avocados. The ham tasted a little too much like classic lunch meat, but I still liked it with the avocados. It said $10 on the menu, but I think I was charged more for using card, although it didn't say anywhere on the menu that the prices were reflected for cash only. It is still good value for the price. The tacos were not as great of a value as my friend got two tacos that were very small, so I gave her one of my quesadillas. She said the tacos were very good though. Our food came out quickly. There is plenty of seating as there are large picnic tables. There are a few parking spots in the lot as well as free street parking.
