We decided to make tacos one night and wanted some fresh, homemade tortillas so we stopped in here after seeing it in passing. The girl working the counter was friendly and helpful as we had several questions. We picked up a pack of corn tortillas as well as an order of rice and some of their red salsa. All of our items were delicious. I snagged a picture of the menu so I could remember what else they served. I look forward to coming back soon and having a full meal.

Edit: The last three times I've been in there the order taker repeated my order to me without being prompted and the food has been correct. Fair is fair. They seem to have corrected the issue. I updated this review from three to five stars. ................... This place is hit or miss. You have to make sure they take your order right, and then half the time your breakfast tacos are missing an ingredient you paid for. However, when they actually get your order right the breakfast tacos are solid. My order has been short(one of more tacos missing an ingredient) or just plain wrong(I got a taco I didn't order) three out of the last five times I've been there. If they could convince their cooks to actually read their tickets it would be a five star neighborhood staple.

The most delicious hand made tortillas ever. I always take one right from the package and enjoy right away. So fresh and delicate and the taste is exceptional. Locals are so fortunate to have this business. I’m from Jacksonville Florida and only found out about this business from family. Glad we went there and will keep coming back!

This place is a hidden gem. Best gorditas in Austin hands down. They have the best green avocado salsa I have tasted. If you want an authentic Mexican experience this Tortilleria is the place to go.
