Taco Xpress - Austin

There are many excellent taco spots in the area, and while Taco Xpress is decent, it doesn't quite match the quality of some of the others. One of my tacos had slightly brown lettuce, and the meat wasn't the highest quality.

Absolutely amazing—I was tempted to lick the tray clean, and I was wearing a tie! Step aside taco joints, because there's a new taco queen in my heart: Maria's Taco Xpress!! I’m truly blown away. I tried a variety plate to find out which taco was the best, and they were all delicious! Even the chicken taco was bursting with flavor—something I rarely find at other places where the chicken tends to be dry and bland. Maria has truly mastered it! I’ll definitely be coming back here whenever I'm in town. It’s worth the drive, no second thoughts about it!

I have been visiting Maria's and savoring her tacos since they were first served from one of Austin's original food trucks outside her neighborhood store. This spot is more than just a restaurant; it embodies the heart and soul of South Austin culture and has served as a vital gathering place for locals for twenty years. It's my favorite place for food, meetings, and music in all of Austin. Long live Maria's!

I absolutely adore the food, the ambiance, the music, the location, the diverse artwork, and Maria! It's a true South Austin gem! Bill Murray once told me he loved me there, and my grandson’s tortilla face on the piano is the perfect finishing touch to the miga taco! – Nora

I have been going to Taco Xpress since she was in the tiny space next door. Her food is filled with love and I can taste it. The vibe is very special. The music nourishes me, too! Don't miss the Taco Xpress experience.
