Ceviche taco is the move
by Mike A
This Mexican eatery offers an innovative beer-margarita combo called the “Black ‘N Green Margarita.” Negra Modelo beer is poured over a Taco Joint margarita.

Didn't like the good.

Fairly weak margaritas. The Queso is fantastic!
by Kevin D.
Great tacos and the margaritas are cheap and tasty!
by Zak T
Try the "black & green" margarita...excellent!!
by Jamie J
Margarita and crispy salad
by ashish D
Solid selection of tacos. Daily specials used to be better. Hit or miss service. Well worth it with a Groupon.
by Dustin M.
The chips and salsa aren't complementary, but they're definitely worth the buy. Free chip refills, too!
by Austin M
Great new happy hour specials! $2 tacos and $6 margaritas. Weekdays 4-6
by Kevin M.

This and antique taco are the best Mexican fusion places I know in the city
by Dragos Stancu
Bottles of margaritas are a great deal on Wednesdays. Corn and queso fundido are their best apps. Pass on the chips and salsa and guacamole.
by Joey N.
Two tacos and an order of antojitos make for a solid, satisfying lunch. Check out the ceviche, featuring citrus-cured tilapia, or the cochinta, with Yucatan-style pulled pork.

tacos al pastor 💗💗
by Elizabeth Metcalfe
Quest fundido is required... My two favorite tacos are al pastor (great mix of spicy and sweet thanks to the pineapple topping) and aguacate, the Tuesday night special
by Lauren Kelly
Come on a Saturday for the special taco - mole roasted pork
by Reeya Shah
Went there for lunch. Fish n shrimp tacos were amazing
by Melissa P.
Every single thing looks good.....
by Juan Ramos
The mezcal margaritas are smokey and not too sweet. Split a pitcher with a friend.
by Mike
The Churro Donut is a little slice if heaven. So good. I also recommend the Made in Mexico Margarita - smoky, not too sweet & delicious
by Rachel T.
What isn't good here? Tacos and great margaritas
by Jeff Beck
Amazing guac and good drink choices!
by Saad Siddiqui
Best guac I've had in a while!
by Saad Siddiqui
Grapefruit margaritas. Go for it.
by Bob D.
Really great tacos (which shouldn't be in question here). The frozen margaritas are where it's at. Perfect place for a date night.
by Brad S.

Not the best experience. Over priced
by Tristan H.
Awesome service, awesome food. The fish taco and the al pastor were both amazing.
by Megan
Delicious, inexpensive tacos! Be sure to ask about the daily special!
by Andrea J.
Their cochinita tacos are finger-licking good
by Kari
They make their own michelada mix and when you order one, it is served on the side so you can serve yourself as much as you please. It is to die for!
by Kari
The food was really tasty and reasonably priced for that area but I was really disappointed in the service. We had to get back to class and our server disappeared, he then charged my card twice.
by Kaitlyn S.
Fantastic food! Get the carnitas taco!
by Kristin
The queso fundido (with potatoes) is a must!
by Todd S.
$10 purchase $30 or more
by Shannon H.
The corn on the cob is delish...
by Susanne
Arabe Taco: This specialty from Puebla was influenced by an influx of Lebanese immigrants, which explains why it feels more Mediterranean, even though there is a definite chile presence.
by Serious Eats
Shocked no one ever mentions the Tinga de Pollo tacos! Truly missing out. Try them!
by Dick Hertz
They carry Topo Chico. Do yourself a favor and get a bottle. It is agua de hipster en la Austin.
by Travis S.
Carne asada is awesome!
by Dave G.
The fajita taco is really good
by Justine I.
The frozen margarita is hard to beat.
by Adam E.
Great queso!
by Madeleine D.
Super Quick food!!
by Gina M.
Order more guac than you think you need.
by Brennan R.
Order margaritas & guacamole along with El Pastor & Ceviche tacos and you have a feast!
by Jodi L.
Great tacos, esp the ceviche taco. Pollo torta wasn't too special. Pear tropical margarita is delish and rojo mole was yum. Great servers.
by ivy t.
Its like going to Masu without the d bag crowd. People at Masu suck.
by justin g.
Ask for the Casa Azulejo Tequila. You will not regret it!
by Brace C.
You gotta do one of the guacamole! They serve it with banana chips, a spicy tortilla chip, and some kind of onion chip. Delicious!!
by Brace C.
Way better than masu!!! Cheap food good staff and great drink specials. Try the fajita or estilo baja or pollo al carbon torta. Anyone that disagrees. Never come back you just clog the bar anyway.
by justin g.
Killer grapefruit margaritas... One of the best drinks I've ever had!
by Brittany R.
Beer slushies!!! Love them. On the menu they are called the Black & Green Margarita, but, whatever…
by Miranda M.
Sitting at the front bar is ideal the back tables have an odd set-up. Order the grapefruit margarita! I always kick myself when I stray!
by Lauren J.
Had the steak, the al pastor and the ceviche...they were all great! The ceviche was surprising more tasty than I imagined it to be. I can't decide a favorite between the 3 for now. Greatness!
by Keilon L.
Ask for special margaritas- amazing collection of possibilities
by Emily B.
Amazing ceviche tacos and they are only $2. Also the guava margarita is a must!
by Lindsay P.
It's just OK. The only taco worth getting is the al pastor. Very yuppie, LP vibe. You can expect to be the only POC there unless you take another POC-then there will be two of you :)
by T H.
The pork taco is really good an the house margaritas aren't bad ;)
by Adina B.
The pork taco is really
by Adina B.

by Jorge C.

by Mary B.
Taco al arabe is fantastic - great pita
by Graham D.
Friendly at the bar.
by Bill C.
Barbacoa Tacos are AWESOME!!!!!!
by Ricardo D.
The Al Pastor taco is so good. The barbacoa taco is a little slickery than I expected, but I also have low tolerance for jalapenos. Traditional guacamole is also the best choice for guacs!
by Renee
Best frozen Margaritas!!!
by Hillary H.
You can't go wrong if you order guac for 3.
by AJ
Great A La Carte Taco Menu
by Jeff K.
Cheap, delicious, and good for groups. Ask about the "special" tacos.
by Kate L.
The Queso Fundido is to die for - not for those on a diet!

by Jason G.
The Al Pastor tacos are delicious!
by Megan K.
Any animal you want in a taco.
by Stacey L.
Start w/a black & green marg. Next, the trifecta of ceviche, tinga & conchinita tacos. Wash down with a grapefruit margarita. Perfection.
by Kelly K.
The elotes is amazing!

Cochinita and carnitas tacos are amazing, as are the elotes. And very reasonable prices!
by Bethany L.
The duck taco was very good :)
by Kayu T.
This place is mediocre at best. Th menu is small and the tacos aren't that good. The only thing that makes Taco Joint special is that it is open to 3 on the weekend. I'll take Masu over Taco Joint
by Steve C.
A late-night urban taqueria & cantina boasting a cozy dining room & a store-front window. Offering tasty quick bites such as tacos, tortas & huaraches. Additionally, more than 50 tequilas are on hand.
by AskMen
