Made from Scratch, Served with Heart
At our restaurant, every dish is prepared fresh daily with locally sourced ingredients, bringing you the bold, authentic flavors of Mexico in every bite.
A Flavorful Journey Since 1995
El Taquito’s story began in the early 1980s on the streets of Matamoros, where we started as a humble taco cart. With a passion for bold, authentic flavors, we made our mark by offering something no one else did—tacos topped with fresh queso fresco and a slice of creamy avocado. In 1995, we brought our unique twist to Austin, TX, opening our first brick-and-mortar spot on Riverside Dr.
Authenticity You Can Count On
What makes El Taquito special? We stick to what we know best—serving homemade, no-shortcut recipes with locally sourced ingredients. Every tortilla is filled with care, every salsa is crafted fresh, and every margarita is mixed just right. Whether you’re grabbing tacos for lunch or sitting down with family and friends for dinner, you’ll always feel the warmth and authenticity of our kitchen.
Our Mission: Great Food, Great Service
At El Taquito, it’s not just about food—it’s about making sure you leave with a smile. Eloy, the proud owner, is dedicated to delivering exceptional service. Whether you’re enjoying a meal at our Riverside or Pflugerville location, ordering online for a quick pickup, or having us cater your next event, we want you to feel like family.
