Avis sur Ken's Tacos Austin
Have not been here in about 35 years but it is great to see reviews describing delicious humongous tacos here STILL! The way I always remembered Kens Tacos to be!
Ate here on a whim for lunch today. Since it is Lent, I ordered the fish tacos, with grilled (not fried) fish. I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to try their other tacos and had to settle for fish. I also rarely ever get fish tacos, as I've never been wowed by them. The people were very nice. The place is a bit of a dive, but sometimes those places have great food. This place is one of them. The fish tacos were incredibly good. There was some sort of pico / pepper / cilantro mix on top of the fish that perfectly complimented it. The fish tacos come on corn tortillas. I usually prefer flour, but these corn tortillas were some of the best I've had. They didn't fall apart like many do, and had a very good flavor that also complimented the fish. So yeah...don't sleep on the fish tacos at Ken's.
If you want good fulfilling tacos and breakfast plates and hearty biscuits and gravy....mmmmmm this the place. Parking lot is not that great and there's additional parking across the street from it. But, great breakfast tacos 🌮🌮 !!!!!!!!! Well worth the drive....👍👍😃😃😃
Been coming to Kens for years..they never fail! There are only 2 places in Austin that come anywhere close to my mommas Carne Guisada…Kens and Amayas. Try em out! Highly recommend!
I love this restaurant, the people are so nice and its always great service.The food is delicious. Ive been coming here for the past 10 years. The wonderful people are like family.
Where to park? Walk over, because the food is astounding and the service great! Very noisy inside. I just keep coming back. Low prices, big portions, wonderful. Excellent customer service and delicious fresh food! Great place. Fast and courteous workers. I've been coming here for almost 10 years. So glad to come here, every time. Authentic dishes made with care. Downsides? Almost no parking, gotta park across the street. Takes a minute to simply cross over. Can't wait to return!
One of my Favorite places . I don't know if the eggs are liquid. May be , the bacon is not too much of a good quality but their portions are good. The egg is Seasoned and potatoes cooked well. Their barbacoa is great:) food is good service has always been very nice 👌 they acknowledge me , the atmosphere is ok. . Can be better but. Overall I give them a 5 . I've had much more great experience than less.
Breakfast Taco Classic—Just Like Old Times! Coming back to Ken’s after more than a decade away, I’m thrilled to say it’s still the same beloved, authentic breakfast taco experience I remember. The huge, overstuffed tacos are just as satisfying—packed with fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced fillings, and that reliable homemade feel. The service was fast and friendly—I’m pretty sure the same great ladies were behind the counter, making tacos with that familiar, caring touch. The atmosphere is low-key and no-frills, but that’s exactly what makes it perfect for a genuine Austin morning bite. If you’re looking for a nostalgic, hearty breakfast taco done right, Ken’s on Dessau is still a top Austin staple—no fuss, just delicious tradition.
I'm ambiguous about writing this review but I will have to because it's one of my favorite places. The air conditioning is not that good and sometimes the dining room is not as clean as it could be but one becomes completely oblivious to these things as soon as they see the plate of fish tacos in front of them. These are absolutely the best fish tacos I've had anywhere in the US and when you make it into a taco plate it's even better. I really haven't tried anything else on the menu so I'll have to let others speak of those items. But I'm here to tell you the fish tacos are pretty darn good. I'll suggest trying both the red and the green sauce.
Came here with a friend that has wanted to try it out for the past year and it satisfied in every way. Great chicken fajitas and cheese enchiladas. They have three people up front taking the orders so that you can order pretty quickly. The food came out pretty quick and was excellent.
I've been a Ken's customer since the late 1990's. Nothing much has changed since then. Even the prices have remained reasonable amid Austin's boom (and recent bust with the pandemic). The food is always delicious, plentiful and high quality. Their cheese steaks are second to none and all the different Mexican food offerings are fantastic and usually more than you can eat. The attached pics are not truly representative of how great Ken's really is. You must experience it for yourself. Ken and his staff know what they're doing and they do it right!
Service is fast, friendly, and no-fuss. Prices are great for the portions, and it's the kind of place that feels local in the best way: unpretentious, reliable, and genuinely satisfying.

As someone who's a true Austin local, Ken's tacos is the way to go for big breakfast! One small con is the parking lot is very tricky/packed most days I go

Well decided to finally give this spot a chance. Always looks busy when I drive past it and wonder how the food is... well today was the day. They have 3 items for the Wednesday special for 10. I decided to eat hearty and grabbed the Philly cheese steak. Well the quality of it was a good 6 because its really a steak-ums one. But honestly I came in thinking like most its a small quantity im sure but nope. They loaded it up. I did pay extra for ranch and fries but I really couldn't eat it all. Overall price and taste def worth it for 10
Got my first timer's regular (sausage, egg & cheese). It was loaded! I could have easily made two tacos out of one. For ~$3, the value is there. While everything was fresh, it just lacked that little seasoning that would take it to the next level. I added their red salsa to it, which was so spicy it completely dominated every other element. This place was jamming at 9:30 on a Friday, so it definitely has a loyal following. For me - like it, don't love it.
Big breakfast tacos. This place is known for its oversized breakfast tacos. 2 is enough for the road, but if you are hungry, try pushing down 3. Parking is a hustle especially if you are in a rush, but if you have time, wait someone will come out, or just park across the street. Good breakfast tacos.
Great portions if you're not black. A friend of mine came in and ordered 12 crispy tacos and man they were beautiful, full of everything. I got mine and they were basically enough to call them tacos.…

Tacos were delish but needed some salt. Other than that they were amazing. service was fast, I got my tacos super quick. Ordered to go for my sister in law and she liked it as well! There was a rud…
The food is always great here. However, there is a language barrier between some of the workers I was asked do I want green salsa? I said no to the green salsa, but I wanted red and the red salsa but it was not put in the bag and when I went to the counter to ask for it, they were looking at me like oh you want salsa, as if I committed a salsa homicide and they were investigating a salsa crime. I mean oh you want red salsa let me check your bag cause it’s $.90 let me check your bag and so they take my bag , look in it and they were like well. The lady said over there that you don’t want salsa. Customer service needs to be better with that because all they had to do was ask that I receive any. I would’ve told them no and they could’ve just gave me three sauces for the three tacos that I ordered.
I went to Ken’s Tacos for lunch. I decided to try their crispy tacos! They were OK. The meat didn’t really taste like ground meat, but it was good. It tasted like it had some chorizo in it or maybe it was the seasoning I’m not sure, but I know that they gave you plenty of meat and it was better than Taco Bell. I only ate one taco! I also purchased a Barbacoa soft taco with cilantro and it was delicious! I would definitely buy the Barbacoa taco again! It was so good! My husband and I come here on Saturdays for breakfast tacos occasionally and they are really good as well.

Went to get 2 Cheeseburgers and they sent the wrong food, wouldn't give the right food, called me a white man, and took my food back with no money returned, This was my first and last time in that …
When I walked into the restaurant I gave the lady at counter a piece of paper with my orders on it and explain to her how I wanted my orders and she said that she understood and when I came back and…
I use to come to this place often when I lived in Austin. Came to eat here because I’m back in Austin and the service was horrible especially if your black/African American. I even recommend this place to the 1.7 MILLION PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW ME. I will NEVER BE BACK AND I WILL URGING MY FOLLOWERS TO NEVER GO AS WELL. Just shut your doors if you no longer want to provide good food and service.
I asked woman at counter if they had PICCADILLO, she said yes so I ordered 2 tacos.. this is what I got. Quite possibly the worst tacos EVER in Austin. Very plain seasoned ground beef and a chuck of potatoes smushed together. I don’t think it could be any dryer.. Horrible. They obviously have no clue what Piccadillo even is. What a disappointment..
Sad that I have to write this review after years of coming to this establishment. I bought 2 bacon egg and cheese and 2 chorizo and egg. Drove all the way from Georgetown to get home and my girlfriend finds hair in her taco. I called the establishment spoke to Lydia who was very rude and ugly. I asked to speak with the manager she said she is the manager. I explained to her what was going on she advised for me to bring the taco back in order to get credit. I explained to her I live in Georgetown and she said whatever I need to bring the taco back in order to get credit. I explained I’m just gonna go ahead and post a review her response was you can do whatever and hung up on me.
