stumbled upon Taqueria Fenix via Google Maps due to its 5 star rating with 50 reviews and agree that it deserves all five!
The truck is open from 7 AM to 9 PM and they serve the full menu with breakfast tacos even in the evening. The staff was warm and friendly, answered all of our questions, and were delighted that we were pleased with our food.
The menu is vast, including like 40 very intriguing ice pop flavors. I am a sucker for Birria tacos, so I got the plate which came with the consommé (you can also buy one individual taco with a side of it!). The tacos were the right amount of crispy paired with gooey cheese and the consomme was the perfect dipping temperature. The corn tortillas are made fresh and you have a choice of flour too. The server said the Fenix taco was the most popular and came with lots of vegetables, it was delicious! The guacamole was both fresh and sizable. I ordered an Agua Fresca too. It was cucumber, spinach, and mint — both refreshing and huge.
There are two tables for two in front of the truck and it sits in front of an art studio. There is a number of parking spots. It’s fun to watch all of the people pick up their food and I imagine there’s some good people watching on a day when the art studio is having one of their live drawing events.
I will be back to work my way through this menu! Or just stuff my face with...

We came across this place on Google maps and decided to give it a try, we are so happy we did. The food was amazing the service was friendly and you can tell they really put love into their food and customers. This is a food truck and they have tables outside for you to sit in and eat. While we sat outside to eat it was a very warm and welcoming atmosphere for my kids their dad and myself. We all agreed we felt "at home" eating there. My children ordered ground beef tacos that came with lettuce and tomatoes and they said they were perfect and ate every bite, to my surprise because they both refuse to eat lettuce and tomatoes at home lol! I had the quesabirria plate, which came with 3 quesabirria tacos, and it had me doing my happy food dance. trust me I only do it when the food is delicious 😆. The kids dad had the Fenix plate and said it was absolutely delicious and finished the whole thing. Perfect 15th birthday celebration dinner for our son. If we are ever in Austin again, we will surely be...
