Spent a recent weekend in Austin, and of course I had some tacos while I was there.
Three B’s Tacos is a truck at Sixth and I-35. Their street tacos were pretty generously portioned, which was fair for the price. Flavor was pretty standard. Nothing to scoff at but nothing to write home about either.
I am a believer in “the way of the taco” and when my buddy Joe told me about Los Tacos Way, I was ready to meet some taco Jedi masters or whatever.
Tucked away in a gas station near the East side of the 820 loop, Los Tacos Way slings some adequate but noon-fancy tacos. Overall a solid, filling meal, would definitely have again, but nothing to go out of the way for.
Birrieria & Taqueria Cortez is one of two local trucks that sprang up and into popularity recently in Fort Worth. Even just after opening for the day, they quickly gathered a full line of cars waiting for tacos.
They were really, really good. Almost like mini quesadillas, three tacos were pliable and filled with cheese and beef. They were savory, beefy, rich, and creamy from the cheese. I almost didn’t mind the juices and grease spilling out onto my shirt and seatbelt.
Definitely worth a visit, just make sure you have napkins or wet wipes on your visit.
On my outing today I stopped by Snap Kitchen to snag their chicken things tacos to have for dinner.
I jokingly told my friends that I’ve become everything I hate about food critics. You see, Snap has a deal where food that’s on its sell-by date is marked down, and I snagged tacos that were in that predicament. But after mentioning my blog to the cashier, he insisted on swapping them for fresher ones without charging me the difference. I told him he really didn’t have to do that, but he wanted me to have the best possible specimen for tasting.
The verdict? Pretty dang good. The smoky tinga sauce was savory and delicious. The cabbage added some good crunch but not overbearingly so due to being cooked with the taco. The lime wedge added great brightness. I was even impressed by the Paleo tortilla, which reminded me of a corn tortilla in texture but held up better like flour. A bit on the wet and messy side but satisfying and good overall.
I didn’t get a chance to try the breakfast tacos but the smoked brisket tacos were pretty decent. The very basic lettuce and cheese belied the smoky and well-seasoned brisket.
