Reviews
Staff and service here were great, very friendly. Some of the food we loved - pastor, chips and salsa, refried beans. I thought that while the Barbacoa was well cooked and tender, it lacked flavor and was a much smaller portion than the pastor. I would go back for the no frills experience, friendly service, great prices and mostly great food.
Got the bean and cheese tacos and breakfast potatoes with cheese. It came with chips and salsa that were delicious. Great service and great food.
Amazing little taqueria off the highway! Service was amazing. They have the nicest staff! Everyone was super friendly, patient, and always checking on us. We ordered the breakfast tacos and they really hit the spot! Very good! We tried the chorizo, potato, & egg, and the bacon, potato, & egg. Both were super good! And it comes with red and green salsa. Prices are very reasonable. Inside seating was cozy, and they also serve coffee. I'm not a morning person, but this place makes me want to be. Loved having breakfast here at 6am. We were the first ones in the parking lot and by 6:40, the parking area was full. I ordered 3 tacos, but 2 was plenty for me. Saving the 3rd for later. My bf ordered 4 and ate 3. Each breakfast taco was twice the size of a mini food truck taco and was plenty of food for us! Definitely recommend this place!
Had to order seconds! This small but hardy place is a "must try' for food. Within minutes from Austin Bergstrom International Airport, it provided the perfect lunch for our arrival into Austin. My beloved ordered the steak taco. I ordered the steak, potato, cheese. Both were so nice we ordered them twice. The salsa was authentic, so naturally delish. Our server was patient with us overall it was an excellent experience. Like Arnold said in the movie, "we'll be back."
I like "dives". Little off the beaten path hole in the wall restaurants. Taqueria Morelos was awesome! At first, I was one of two tables. By the time I was done, the place was getting packed, and I can see why. I had the huevos rancheros, with an extra egg, over easy. Pork chop, which was extra. Plate came with beans and, what I like to call, "my grandma's cut"style potatoes. Not the puffy dice ones. I'm talking about the thin sliced triangular shaped potatoes that all Mexican families' grandmas would make on Saturday and Sunday mornings. You know what I'm talking about. The ranchero sauce was absolutely delicious. Seasoned right and even had chunks of peppers in it. Can't say enough about this plate. Service was great, always checking on me. Very attentive staff and working together when it got busy. This is definitely a go to in my book!!
