Reviews
Ambience- laid back, very casual atmosphere, kind of like a college food joint. Nothing fancy, a few tables inside, a lot of outdoor picnic tables, both with and without shade. Also some picnic tables away from the main building beneath some trees.
Service – very good and simple. You order at the counter, pay, and when your food is ready, they call out your order over a speaker so if you are outside you don’t miss out. The person who took our order was extremely friendly and laid back. Helped us with a few questions and had suggestions. We chose to sit outside, no problem with finding a table. Some have noted there may be a lot of birds hanging around (Grackles). Didn’t bother us, but we noticed one person a bit freaked out about it. If they call your order and you miss it, don’t worry, they will keep repeating until you come pick it up.
Food – we ordered 4 tacos and a side of chips and salsa to share between the two of us. As we eat normal portions, this was too much food…could have gotten away with 2, maybe 3 tacos at most as they are very generously sized, especially with a side of chips. All the tacos were good, fresh, and flavorful. The only exception was the fish taco (fried). While not bad, it just wasn’t very flavorful…actually kind of boring, though the sauce made it ok. The grilled sirloin street taco was outstanding. The pulled pork was also extremely good. They supposedly make homemade flour tortillas, but the corn ones which we ordered were pre-packaged commercial ones. The chips and salsa were nothing special, the chips however were very thick…a bit too much. Lighter chips would have been much more appealing.
All in all a very good lunch!
Would I go there again…most definitely!
Would I recommend…absolutely!
I just wish guests would not feed the birds as this brings more and more to have tasty tacos
Great place to eat outside on the patio if the weather is nice.
Con- parking. We had to around the parking lot several times in hopes someone was pulling out and luckily someone did before we almost gave up and went somewhere else.
Another must-try is the street taco. No matter when I visit, I can’t resist ordering one, and it never disappoints. It’s the perfect blend of authentic flavor and quality ingredients, which is something Taco Joint consistently gets right.
I first discovered Taco Joint at their campus location and was instantly hooked. Now that I frequent the Riverside spot, I can confidently say both locations are equally excellent. The service is friendly and quick, the food always hits the spot, and the atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming, whether I’m dining in or grabbing something to go.
Taco Joint has really set the bar for what great tacos should be. With their unbeatable breakfast tacos, legendary variety, and top-notch consistency , there’s simply no better place for a satisfying, delicious meal any time of day.
I have been going for 8 years!
For starters, they have an almost unfathomable amount of options! They have multiple vegan/vegetarian options and are more than willing to swap any protein for one of the three plant based options. Also sooooo many bevvie options, try mixing horchata and thier house made cold brew!
Every single taco I have had from Taco Joint has been SO delicious. My absolute favorite has to be the migas though, soooo well balanced and flavorful.
The staff is incredibly friendly, and on most weekdays the wait is almost nonexistent! Absolutely a can’t miss, and right next to Town Lake Trail for a post breakfast walk:)
Ordering was very straightforward – with lots of different options. The food was ready fast and there was plenty of seating! Definitely would go here again!
