Top 5 Tacos in Austin

Top Tier EditorialSourcesThe Infatuation AustinAustin Chronicle

  1. 1

    Paprika ATX

    Highland

    Infatuation's #1 taco in Austin. Contemporary techniques on traditional flavors — Saturdays' trompo al pastor is a destination dish.

  2. 2

    Nixta Taqueria

    East Austin

    Infatuation pick; Michelin Bib Gourmand. Heirloom masa tortillas, the duck carnitas and cauliflower al pastor are the must-orders.

  3. 3

    Cuantos Tacos

    East Austin

    Infatuation pick; Michelin Bib Gourmand. Mexico City-style tacos from a trailer — tiny tortillas, huge flavor, suadero is the move.

  4. 4

    Discada

    East Cesar Chavez

    Infatuation pick. Named for the plow-disc cooking method — pork, chorizo, bacon, and jalapeño stewed together on flour tortillas.

  5. 5

    La Santa Barbacha

    Cherrywood

    Infatuation pick; Michelin Bib Gourmand. Wood-smoked barbacoa — the consomé on the side is non-negotiable.
