An Austin Must: Breakfast Tacos

October 22, 2011 in Food Stuff

You haven’t experienced Austin until you’ve had tacos for breakfast at least once… and I’m willing to bet once will not be enough. Torchy’s Tacos was already mentioned, and with good reason. The breakfast tacos are huge and super filling. Torchy’s has expanded into a chain in the last few years, so I would recommend the original trailer park location (1311 S. First St.) which conveniently shares a lot with a coffee truck!

The Taco Shack downtown (402 Brazos) is a quick walk from the hotel and has “make your own” breakfast tacos with every topping you could ever need.

Juan in a Million (2300 E. Cesar Chavez St.) might possibly make the perfect breakfast taco. You’re going to want to order a variety of tacos, cover them in Juan’s super hot salsa and wash them down with the horchata. Yum. If you’re feeling brave you can even try to conquer the Don Juan El Taco Grande challenge.

Get an avocado margarita with your breakfast tacos at Curra’s (614 E. Oltorf St.) or just walk across the bridge to La Condesa (400 W. 2nd St.) and order something off their Tequila Menu!
