Franklin Barbecue finally debuted that coffee and taco truck at the end of last year, featuring choose-your-own three-ingredient breakfast tacos made with brisket, chorizo, eggs, potatoes, bacon, etc. alongside espresso drinks and coffee, open during the daytime.

This Rosewood Avenue trailer serves its eponymous Northern Mexican-style of taco (named for the plow disc cooking vessel), which involves a time-intensive seven-layer cooking process. The tacos contain pork, beef, vegetables, onions, and pineapple, and can be ordered with a side of street corn.

The new refined downtown modern Mexican restaurant features a coursed taco menu for happy hour featuring fillings like masa-fried halibut, carnitas, and a sweet dessert one. Otherwise opt for the DIY bone marrow tacos during dinner.

Pueblo Viejo serves up classic and tasty tacos, as well as gorditas and quesadillas within music venue North Door. Hours run late, too.

A convenient SXSW pit stop, Dai Due’s taco stand in the Fareground complex on Congress Avenue offers locavore tacos like wild boar al pastor and chicken tinga served on heirloom corn tortillas. As with all things-Dai Due, local sourcing and butchery is prioritized, so the menu is unique (and occasionally polarizing), but done with care and attention to craft. Seasonal vegetable sides mark a change from the usual taco platters — come here for the unexpected rather than the conventional.

Genuinely cheap tacos, a gorgeous patio, horchata coffee, and great migas make Tamale House East an institution. The restaurant is operated by the fourth generation of a famed Tex-Mex restaurant family, so they know a thing or two about what they’re doing.

Sure, it’s a little bit of a hike from downtown, but if you’re in East Austin checking out non-official venues, it is worth a trip to this neighborhood restaurant institution.

Dig into this trailer’s $2 tacos, which are small in size, but big on options. In addition to popular options like carnitas, the menu offers serious offal choices, including tripe and buche (pork stomach). Open until midnight daily.

Find homemade tortillas, fresh ingredients, and hands-down the best migas taco in Austin from the sister-run trailer. Don’t skip the refreshing aguas frescas, either. If you want to get away from the SXSW ruckus, hit up the trailer on Menchaca Road, in Mueller, or in East Austin, or the full-on restaurants up in Round Rock and North Shoal Creek. This is this particular truck’s last SXSW at this location, too.

For those looking for vegetarian Tex-Mex options, Mr. Natural has it covered with fast, cheap, and healthy choices, served alongside delicious old-school smoothies. Fun fact: Ethan Hawke is a fan, too.

Check the opening hours first, then grab a ride to this local favorite. Homemade corn tortillas and salsas add richness to a menu of traditional favorites like picadillo, bistek, and carnitas. (Yes, breakfast tacos are available.) This is a food trailer in a parking lot, so there’s not much atmosphere, but the service is pleasant and the tacos outstanding. Worth a detour.
