The Art of Authentic Street Tacos in Austin

Street tacos are simple and packed with flavor. At Taquería de Diez, we follow the traditional street taco formula perfected on the streets of Tijuana: quality meat, fresh corn or flour tortilla, cilantro, onions, and lime. No lettuce, no cheese, no unnecessary toppings—just pure taco perfection. Each taco is a celebration of simplicity done right.

What makes our street tacos different? We're obsessed with quality and authenticity. Our taqueros prepare each taco fresh to order on the plancha, just like you'd find at a taquería in Tijuana. We use premium ingredients and time-tested recipes passed down through generations—nothing fancy, just done right. Every bite transports you to the vibrant street food scene of Baja California.

Why Austin Loves Our Tijuana-Style Tacos

Austin's taco scene is legendary, and we're proud to bring Tijuana-style street tacos to the capital city. Our two locations—Downtown on Trinity Street and South Lamar—serve fresh tacos daily, with extended hours on weekends for all your post-Rainey Street or South Congress adventures. We're open until 1 AM Thursday through Saturday because the best nights deserve the best tacos.

Every street taco starts with the tortilla. We source fresh corn and flour tortillas daily and warm them on the plancha until they're perfectly pliable with just a hint of char. The meats—whether it's our marinated carne asada, trompo-style al pastor, or juicy pollo asado—are grilled to order, ensuring every taco is hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor.

The Taquería de Diez Difference

We don't cut corners. Our carne asada is marinated in-house using our signature recipe. Our al pastor rotates on a traditional trompo until perfectly caramelized. Our pollo asado is prepared fresh daily and grilled until tender and juicy. This is street food elevated—but never complicated.

Whether you're a downtown professional grabbing lunch near the Capitol, a UT student fueling up between classes, or a night owl craving authentic tacos after a show on 6th Street, Taquería de Diez delivers the real deal. Order online for quick pickup, or visit us to watch the taqueros work their magic. Either way, you're getting Austin's most authentic Tijuana-style street tacos.
