With a recent James Beard Award under its belt, Nixta is Austin’s current reigning taco hotspot that is actually worth all of the attention it gets. Known for its nixtamalized blue corn tortillas, it’s hard not to order every tasty-sounding thing on the patio restaurant’s menu.

The double-corn tortilla Mexico City-style tacos at the food truck are two to three bites each, making them the perfect size for sampling. Your best bet is to go with friends and order one of each to enjoy every type of filling, including carnitas, suadero, buche (pork stomach), cacheta (barbacoa), longaniza (chorizo), and champiñones (mushroom).

This 60-year institution opens at 6 a.m. six days a week (keep in mind it’s closed on Mondays). This no-frills diner offers breakfast and lunch faves, but the breakfast tacos are where it’s at. Enveloped in thick, fresh flour tortillas that are almost as fluffy as pancakes, the fillings are stuffed to the gills, especially the very large bacon strips

Yummy small food truck offers only one type of taco, the namesake one, which is comprised of juicy blended pork and beef grilled on a discada (sort of like a wok), topped with onions, cilantro, and pineapple, and served on a tiny corn tortilla.
