Tacodeli is an Austin original. They specialize in organic and local ingredients. You can't go wrong with anything here, but make sure to smother it in Dona sauce (but not too much, it's spicy!).

If you're ready to venture far out of the city to complete your taco experience, head over to Valentino's. If early, grab their breakfast taco which starts with a hot and fluffy flour tortilla and combines a fried egg, beans, potatoes, crispy bacon and juicy, mesquite-smoked brisket.
Don't want breakfast? They have some damn good brisket too, all made in the trailer right behind the food truck.
