Mi Tradicion

I’m fairly new to Austin, I’m always on the hunt for new food spots. I just so happened to walk into this place thinking they had doughnuts (which I’m still not sure if they do or not) anyways I ended up loving it. I can’t even count how many times I’ve been here. Austin has a plethora of weak ass taco spots and this place is at the other side of the spectrum when it comes to those said weak ass taco spots. I usually go with the Alambre taco plate (no idea what is in it) but I still mess with it. But when I’m feeling crazy I order the Torta Diabla, usually don’t go this route unless I got Pepto on deck at the crib.

Ayyyy food mio this place reminds me of Houston so bad!!! The conchas are huge! The horchata is perfect, not too sweet which is an issue for me usually. The ONLY reason I’m not giving it full 5 stars is because it’s a little pricier than I’m used to (again, I’m from Houston) but it’s really not all that bad. Especially since everything is so freaking good I had two bolillos for breakfast the other day… pop them in the microwave for a few seconds, add some butter and cilantro and

⁹⁄₁₀ they are gonna mess your food up. When it’s good it’s good but this place always messes up orders. The bakery is mediocre. The people are rude if you return after complaining about their mess up’s. If they do mess up and you plan on returning don’t say anything or they will stare at you and make you feel uncomfortable if they think you don’t speak Spanish the will talk about you right in front of you.

I checked for bakery and had good reviews, so I went this morning aftet church. The bakery has an amazing selection of breads and sweet pasties self service with a tray and thongs, you get what you want and if you are hungry try the breadfast tacos, cheap $ 1.75. Also instead of sodas I recommend aguas frescas, delicious, and because of the speedy ladies in the kitchen and the attendant named Monica, a very sweet gal, you will leave happy and come back just like I WILL.

This is by far my favorite al pastor taco place. My boyfriend and I make a visit at least one weekly. The price is cheap and the food is amazing!
If your looking for some good authentic Al Pastor Tacos this is the place to go!

The sweetness of the beard will hit ur taste buds when you walk in. Skip Shipley’s and check this place out. The tacos are also good they have a homey flavor.

I’ve seen this place for some time but never popped in as I assumed it was just a bakery. Man am I glad I did!
They are definitely a bakery, but they are so much more. Fresh is the first word that comes to mind with some of the delicious savory dinner options I tried.
House-​made organic blue corn masa? Is this some California-​invented high end restaurant with high prices and a 3 hour wait that has Austinites hoodwinked?
Nope; this is a simple downhome authentic Mexican place with low frills and low prices and probably has a very loyal following of Austinites.
I got a gordita with potatoes and chorizo and a panchito that was essentially a soft thick masa cake decked out like a tostada with chicken. The salsas were awesome, the flavors simple and very fresh.
We did end up getting some of the wide assortment of bakery items to take home and they too were great.
We’ll be back time and time again.

I’m half Latino and white. I remember getting these baked goods years ago. I love all the choices to pick from.
They serve regular and traditional Latino breakfast dishes. I had the Diabla Torta and boy it was big! Very tasty.
I recommend this to even non-​Latino people.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! :D The quesadillas are made with blue corn tortillas, which by the way are delicious! The tacos are really good as well, the aguas frescas and the ice creams are made with real fruit! How cool is that. Did I mention the bakery is also really good!

Tons of bakery items to choose from as well as coffee, whole cake, tacos and more! Very organized and large amount of selections to choose from. If I’m ever down south I would come back again to get a small sweet treat… Maybe even order a cake. Looks good! The churros and empanadas were good and FRESH

Bueno, bonito, barato! Most authentic Mexican food that tastes amazing! The prices are right! The taste is better! The aguas frescas are a must have to wash down the hurache. If you don’t speak Spanish, suck it up! You are in a real Mexican place. Point to something and it’s delicious without fail

They don’t have prices on their menu, and you must speak Mexican. The pastries have much bread. ¹⁰⁄₁₀

We were looking for a Mexican bakery and found Mi Tradicion! Great thing is that it has a place to eat too! We’ve come for breakfast and lunch. The tortas are so fresh and delicious! They also sell some of the best tortillas in Austin! The pastries are awesome and the selection is large. They make fresh squeezed orange juice. Come hungry.

I love this place so much! The sweetbreads are some of the best I’ve ever tasted and the tortas are insanely good.
One thing for first time visitors. There are trays and tongs. Grab those and load up with sweetbreads, then take them to counter for purchase. The first time we went in, we stood around admiring the sweets and looking like idiots for several minutes because we didn’t know what to do.

I love this place! Just went there this morning. I had a couple of tacos (bean & egg, chorizo & egg) and an abuelita coffee. So good!
We also took Spicy Mango ice cream to go. Amazing. Everything is natural & made in-​house. The prices are great! The location is sketchy, right next to Big Lots (lots of parking), so if you don’t mind the location, go in for the fantastic food & bakery.

Delicious mexican food and a *delightful* bakery all priced very very low make this a must-​go for those who appreciate authentic mexican food (not tex-​mex).

We love this place. The variety is outstanding, the pastries are fresh, cheap, and the service is pleasant.
Or usual order is 4 baked goods, and 1 – 2 drinks, and it is under $ 6 every time. The kids love the muffins and donuts, I love the slices of bread with lemon frosting. My husband loves it all. We have only had one item there that we did not enjoy, and that was the cookies. They are super dry and crumbly, just not our style.
We have only tried the baked goods, nothing from the café, but this is hands down our favorite treat stop in Austin.

I love this place. For breakfast, lunch, dinner or when you just need a delicious snack.
The tinga and chicken and papas quesadillas are amazing on their delicious blue tortillas and my husband’s tortas always look gooey and packed!
My favorite pastries are the strawberry and pineapple empanadas. Sweet and full of filling!
They seriously have anything you might desire and don’t leave without an aqua fresca. The cantaloupe is so good!

I grew up in central Mexico. I have been on a quest for good, authentic Mexican food since I moved to Texas 15 years ago. It does not get much better than this.
— The best Pan Dulce I have tried in the US
— The best Tortas in the US
— The best quesadillas (central Mexico style) in the US
— Excellent huaraches, tacos de bisteck and alambres (competes with Guajillo’s in San Antonio)
We love Mi Tradicion.

Growing up as a middle-​class youngin’ in St. Louis, MO, the only churros I had access to were the kind thrown onto a hard plastic tray by cafeteria staffers wearing hair nets in the public elementary school system. Needless to say, they were just as good as the government cheese sandwiches and Jello-​mixed-​with-​Cool Whip cups.
Now that I live in Texas and can pick up fresh churros from local panaderias, I yearned to taste the difference. On a hot Sunday afternoon, I made my way to Chuy’s second location and marveled at the shining displays of Mexican pastries for a good twenty minutes.
Tips:
*Grab a tray and some metal tongs
*Proceed to make your selections and plunk them down on your tray
*When finished, take your tray to the counter and pay. Your items will be wrapped up for you if you’re taking them home
*Walk to the other side of the bakery to check out the tacos and tortas menu
*Order a torta; you WILL make room for it later
The tortas are made-​to-​order so you’ll probably wait ten minutes… in the meantime, inhale the sweet smells of comfort and plot how you’ll rip into your churro when you get home. Or not: I couldn’t resist taking a few bites while waiting!
When you do make it home, dip that churro into a steaming cup of Mexican hot chocolate. It doesn’t matter that it’s 85 degrees out — just do it!
The al pastor torta was stuffed with stunningly tender, pineapple-​kissed flavorful pork, generously smeared with perfectly-​ripened avocado along with plenty of onions and a healthy hint of cilantro. Just wonderful, really. And the churro? I didn’t know it was possible to love one so much.
That’s it — I’m adopting you.
