Taco More - Austin — Restaurant in Austin

Of all of the places we visited during our weekend in Austin, this was the worst.

We stopped here on Sunday for street tacos. We ordered three tacos each. When I went to order, I had to repeat myself no less than six times because the waitress didn't understand what I wanted. While I appreciate there may have been a language barrier, I was pointing to the items on the menu when ordering. The menu was written completely in English. (While I don't speak Spanish, I know enough that if the menu had the items listed in Spanish, I would have been able to read them and order them in Spanish).

The tacos were decent, but nothing special. I wasn't a huge fan of the Pork Skin taco, but from what I saw, there was nothing wrong with it. The other two tacos I ordered were just fine, and given that they were $3 each, I can't complain. My sister was only able to eat one of the three tacos she ordered, but she admits that it was a texture thing and isn't going to blame the restaurant for that.

After we finished eating, we sat and waited for our check. The waitress came by to check on us and we told her we were done. She walked away. 20 minutes later, she came by to check on us again. We told her we were done, and she walked away a second time. In all, we were there for more than an hour despite it only taking about 20 minutes to order, receive, and eat our food.

When we got the check, it was written so sloppily that we could not read the total. We asked and were told it was $19 and change. (Based on Texas sales tax rates, it should have come out to $19.13) We asked for it to be put on two separate cards. We were each charged $10. While it was only a $0.87 overcharge, we were still overcharged for our meals. Rounding up our bill without disclosing it may be considered illegal. (Typically, rounding is used in other countries when paying cash due to coin shortages or not wanting to deal with returning pennies; credit card purchases are still exact).

There were no signs stating that there was a $10 minimum for credit card transactions.

While we hope to visit the Austin area again, we will not be returning to this place. In response to the restaurant's refusal to refund us the money we were overcharged, we have contacted our banks to dispute the...

First visit I ordered some breakfast tacos to-go. The chorizo was good and not too greasy and their green salsa was good also. Since I liked the breakfast tacos I decided to come back to try some of the dinner options and was extremely disappointed both by the food and the service. I had the green chicken enchiladas, on the menu it says you get 4 but my plate only had 3. I know I should have brought it up but I was really hungry and at that point just wanted to eat. The enchiladas were OK, rice and beans not good. Multiple bites of rice were HARD! My boyfriend had the fajita plate and he said the meat had no flavor. They do not have a bar so $5 bottles of beer. My boyfriend got the topo michelada which came in a normal water cup, the person next to us ordered the same thing but hers came in a big margarita glass which would have been nice if his did as well. My biggest reason for leaving the one star though comes down to the service. Not greeted when you walk in, instead the girl at the register just stared at us blankly. After taking our order we were not checked on a single time. Not for water refills or more salsa which we needed. When they brought out our food they did not say anything to us or even acknowledge us to be honest. Consistently saw the waitress’s check on the tables directly behind and in front but completely ignored us. This made me feel uncomfortable because I felt like it was on purpose. Neither me or my boyfriend speak Spanish and I hope not- but feel like that is why we were ignored. I grew up in Austin but recently moved to this area and like I said the breakfast tacos were good and I wish I could come back because how close it is to me but you should never feel uncomfortable at an establishment you are...

This hole is the wall hits the spot. True Mexican delights abound.

No queso. No guacamole. Very few dishes with cheese or avocado. (Because the region this restaurant highlights - those items are not a big part of it’s cuisine)

I fell in love with the Bria (Goat) soup and the Carne Asada con nopalitos.

The salsa is both hot (flavor) and warm (temp).

Be aware two music venues have made their homes on either side of this remnant of an east side Austin time gone by - sometimes both venues have shows going at the same time. Which can make parking (which is otherwise easy) a nightmare.

(And fair warning to the music crowd: I saw them booting cars that were from the music venues - east side is not playing with their warning signs about parking)

The servers and staff mainly speak Spanish so be prepared to be respectful of this when you come. They are gracious and kind with my terrible attempts at their language - but they also see my genuine attempts to be respectful and they payed attention to how much I appreciate their business, service, and food. I am not the target audience for this establishment. I am grateful and respectful while there. If people can be aware of their manners at fine dining, I hope we can also do the same for meals that are about understanding, respecting, and embracing the culture that is being shared.

You can actually (for now) still see the Texas Capital building from the front porch. This tiny place has a spectacular view of downtown Austin and the Oracle campus. It seems almost a visual indicator of how this tiny but fantastic place is also still there - spectacular in its own quite...
