Tacos Michoacan

Came here hoping to get some good tacos and left disappointed. Ordered barbacoa and al pastor. The barbacoa meat was of lesser quailty it had more fat than I would have liked. The al pastor was good but it was ridiculously greasy. The lady was very nice. I didnt like that it took about 30 minutes for our tacos to come out. there were only 4 people in line. Not sure why it took so long.

Rolled tacos. Delicious tacos. Eat while inhaling fumes from the highway just meters away.
(No, I’m not British, I’m just trying to get everyone on the Metic System. So when you order a taco here, ask for 5 grams of hot sauce. They love it!)
My only note would be the chicken fajita taco. Please, please never put cheese on a street taco. Not Kosher. (Not literally Kosher, but figuratively Kosher.)
Yum!

this taco trailer is tasty. i usually get the chicken fajita. its loaded with grilled onions, avocado, cheese, and chicken. very yummy, and a very good value at $ 2 including tax. the lady that runs it is smiley and very friendly. she is a good cook. this place is better than average and much cheaper than the veracruz all natural truck at radio. fyi, they close at 3pm and are closed on sundays. check them out, you won’t regret it.

Al pastor is perfumed with cloves and pineapple. It’s one of the best versions I’ve had in town. This truck is only open for breakfast and lunch, unfortunately. but it’s worth playing hookie from your 9 to 5 to taste their stellar handmade tortillas, perfectly cooked meats, fiery molcajete salsa, and all the little extras that only someone with a love for what they do can give you.

It’s unclear whether the name is Rico’s or Michoacan, but either way we had really good breakfast tacos. Hubby and I had bacon/​egg, sausage/​papas, chorizo/​egg/​papas with cheese on some. Total was $ 8 which included the tax. Not overstuffed, but plenty for the two of us. Served us three sauces, 2 red and a green… all very good. We were impressed by how fresh everything was. They started coming after we placed our order, and the smell alone was an indication of what was in store. Very friendly
I plan on trying some of the lunch style tacos and corn tortillas next time.

Had high hopes along with high expectations especially after trying Taqueria Don Emilio half a block south. Had 1 barbacoa which was poor quality. I am a Mexican from mexico and know its just not the same but that was some terrible barbacoa. Then I had 1 al pastor and it LOOKED delicious. Turns out it was sweet, now this isn’t one of those typical Austin lets make things taste weird and nasty and say its good type of places, its supposed to be straight up tacos. Nada mas ni nada menos. but it was so so so sweet I couldn’t enjoy it.
On the upside the ladies were very friendly, service was fast, and there was plenty of other things on the menu which might be much better. But if you do go, don’t have either of those 2 tacos.

It’s great to know there are places in Austin like Tacos Michoacan. I’d been about to eat from a taco truck on the same block, but when I tried to order, the gruff man who seemed to be working directed me into the neighboring convenience store. The truck was closing, and apparently they sell their (pre-​made) tacos at the shop. But I wanted a hand-​made tortilla, and to smell the meat cooking on the grill as I waited in eager anticipation for my taco! So I stuck to my original plan and headed over to Michoacan. The woman working there could not have been nicer. She explained that fajita meat is softer than the meat I’d originally ordered (bistec), even offering a taste so I could see for myself. She told me they’re open except Sundays, or ‘unless I have a doctor appointment or something.’ The taco was stellar. Handmade corn tortilla, delicious spicy green salsa, flavorful meat. So go give some business to a nice taco truck, one that shockingly hadn’t even been on Unilocal before today (though i’ve noticed it in that spot for quite awhile!)
