El Xolo Tacos — Restaurant in Austin

I found this place through my work, we use Daily Lunchdrop, which I have found has a lot of hit and misses with offering decent places. Most of them on offer are overpriced and underperforming Chinese food. Which don't get me wrong I love a good Asian dish as much as the next person, but the key word there is "good", but I digress. I am glad I gave this place a try, I am usually really picky about Mexican food, and since I have a condition that doesn't let me eat spicy food anymore, I have to be careful where I eat. I picked some safe dishes, I got three street tacos, one shrimp, fish and nopalitos. I also got a side of rice and beans to go with them. Let me tell you how DELICIOUS they were without bringing a lot of unnecessary heat. I love seasoning as much as the next person, but heat for no reason is a big no for me. This food was delicious and different, I will be ordering from them again next time they are on our choice menu, which I hope is very often. I just wish they had a place...

So the apartment complex really hyped up this place and got me curious and eager to try. But the hype was bs. So I ordered two tacos of pastor and was wondering if he did corn tortillas like other trucks I have seen around Austin but nope. The pastor was okay but I ordered as well two burritos one steak and the other was chicken, first off I've never had cabbage in a burrito usually lettuce but thought to try it but afterwards disgusting and I opened up both burritos because the meat had no flavor to it and looked gray and I couldn't tell which one was chicken or steak. The guy was nice and very welcoming but the food...

El Xolo Tacos was in our neighborhood tonight and we stayed at the pool longer than expected, so we took a chance and got dinner here… an el pastor burrito and chicken quesadilla. We were so pleasantly surprised by the food! The burrito was huge and super flavorful. The chicken quesadilla had super soft, warm, gooey cheese and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The small cup of salsa was delicious and we wish there had been more! We’ll definitely stop the next time we see them in the neighborhood. Also...
