Taco Shack Express

Service was fine, I feel the food prices are high for what you are getting. My migas plate reminded me of something I would get from a school cafeteria. Simple and not much flavor. Convenient location to get in and out quickly though

They make my favorite breakfast tacos here. However, this place is set up for drive-thru laziness. If you walk up to the window, be prepared to be ignored as car after car drives up & orders. It's unfortunate. I liked the Taco Shack on Spicewood so much better.

I used to eat at one of the other locations years ago but it had been, like I said, years.. so last year when this location opened near me I was excited. Ordered fish tacos. What I received was a tortilla with a pinky size piece of fish… I’ve literally never done this but I couldn’t justify the $12 or whatever it was for almost no food so I drove back, returned the food and got my money back. The other day, a friend was telling me how they used to always go to taco shack back in the day and got me on board to give it another shot… ordered 2 breakfast tacos and just had to laugh when my total was nearly $10 ($9.48) for two breakfast tacos… was handed the bag of tacos which felt very light so I was concerned. Turns out the tacos were filled about as much as the fish tacos I got last year. See pics. I ate the 2 tacos in about 2 bites each then drove to the best breakfast taco spot in town Vasques (Mexican Restaurant #2) also pictured. I will say the bacon at taco shack was good, but maybe a table spoon of eggs and one small slice of avocado just isn’t it. Do yourself a favor and just got to Vasquez.

I would give this a 5 star for the breakfast burritos, but the breakfast bowls are tiny for $5.49. The bowl is smaller than my hand and I don't have big hands.

I just ordered the bevo breakfast burrito while on my way home from work. I asked for guac and after walking another 20 minutes I got home and was disappointed to have wasted the money I could have used for the bus for nothing. Not the first time I've asked for something and they never added it but I payed for it. Long story short, ( to the restaurant ) READ YOUR TICKET . I work the industry too and if I hadn't worked graveyard I'd go back and get my guac but here's a review and hope y'all improve.

First time I ever ate a taco that tasted like Chinese food. The carne guisada taco literally taste like beef & broccoli(?). The miga taco was "okay". But that gravy in the carne guisada was something else (couldn't finish eating that one).

Food was cold and potatoes definitely undercooked. I threw most of it away. This has happened before at a different location, poor quality and I will not be returning to any location again. Too many other excellent options in this city!!

I wanted to pay for my takeout order with cash and card, to which the employee had me walk around to the drive thru window, literally standing in the drive thru lane. Once I returned home with my food, I opened the bag and unwrapped my burrito to find the interior bland, and the cheese clumpy and unmelted. Location is not pedestrian friendly and food is disappointing and lacks any passion.

Served us cold food. Cheese wasn’t even melted in the burrito after sitting for at least 3 to 5 mins due cashier having trouble with Apple Pay. The supposedly owner insists the food was hot when she left and refuses to receive the photos and videos we had. Nonetheless we got our refund and won’t be returning to this location.

I ordered a bean and cheese burrito because I thought it’d be a better deal than getting 2 tacos. When I opened the bag I thought they accidentally gave me a taco and they said no that that is the burrito and that it was 9 inches. I ordered a taco and I compared them and they were the exact same size. I wouldn’t have measured it if they had been nice about it but they were very rude and didn’t listen to me at all

Taco shack consistently has the worst service in Austin This new location is no different. The drive thru wait is always 15 mins and I ordered avocado on two tacos, got charged for it, and neither taco had avocado in it! I want my money back!!

I usually go to Vazquez but didn’t want to back track en route to my office so I stopped here today. Pulled up to the window and was dryly greeted by a lady. I told her it was my first time, to which she simply responded “ok, let me know when you’re ready”. I really should’ve drove away then, but I was hungry so I went ahead with my order. That’s what I get for thinking with my stomach.😭Got to the window and the employee answered my questions as if I was bothering her (what kind of orange juice do you have?), walking to the cooler with a slight annoyance that I asked. I decided to pass bc they were cheaper made options that I don’t like. She took my card for payment, and even though I said “thank you” every time she handed me something (my bag, my drink, my card, receipt), she didn’t say “you’re welcome” or anything similar. I am generally polite because I used to work food service and respect the people who are in that role (knowing what they have to deal with). That being said, why be rude without provocation? Why come to work if you really don’t want to be there? Why make people not want to visit your establishment, in turning hurting the establishment and their potential to stay open? You can’t make money if you don’t have customers and poor service is a sure fire way to keep from having customers. The entire interaction was just bland. Speaking of which, let’s get into the food. The cheese WASNT EVEN MELTED on the taco. Like, for real? At the very least, that should be the bare minimum expectation for something served “hot” and wrapped in foil. I use the temp term loosely because “hot” is definitely what they were NOT. The potatoes were soggy, flavorless, and completely unseasoned. I mean not even one single speck of pepper. No salt. No nothing. Then, to add insult to injury….the salsa. Lord, Jesus the salsa. It tasted like it had been stored uncovered in a high blowing fridge. I don’t know how to explain the taste of “refrigerator”, except to say if you’ve eaten anything with that taste then you know exactly what I’m talking about. It was not good and I ended up having to throw away the first taco and just ate the second one plain. This entire experience was lackluster at best. Add in the fact that they charge 2.99 for a 20oz fountain drink that’s mostly ice (and gas stations have a whole bottle for 2.89), and it was just all around not a good visit. I don’t intend to return here, nor do I think I will recommend them to anyone. Certainly a waste of $12.

the burnet burrito was very average, especially compared to all the great options around here. the service, however, is what gets the rating. the lady who works the window took my debit card and did not give it back to me, and when I realized less than an hour later, she wouldn't look for it and just claimed to not have it. shady business practices here. wouldn't recommend it to anyone who likes having a debit card.

what happened to this place ? when it was on anderson/spicewood it was one of my favorite breakfast tacos - went there today and the taco itself had no flavor - and my favorite part used to be the salsa, what is this? it’s sweet no spice, had to stop at Birria Mama Rose to spice it up, sad to see it go like that - bring the old salsa back!!!

2:10pm. Open sign is lit up and hours say close at 2:30. Walk up to the order window and that's when they turn the open sign off.
