Tortilleria La Sabrocita

Ok I am going to start off with the bad
The Location is on the Eastside of I 35. Its not in the greatest of areas. So lock your door.
some one right in front of the door trying to sell you something out of their Ice chest. Get past this less then attractive exterior and I promise the food will have you driving back for more!
Ok that is out of the way…
You will walkup and either order a plate by number or meat selections by pounds.
Be prepared to Speak Spanish or say Su Hablo English? They will get someone to the register who can help you.
Fresh home made tortillas (Flour and Corn)
They have Aguas Fresca (Flavored fruit water)
Lots of different types of Tacos to choose from and plates.
Your Tacos are served with Jalepeno, celantro, onion and lime all on side.
I ordered 2 Carnitas tacos
they gave me enough meet in the 2 tacos with 4 tortillas to make 6 Tacos. They gave you chile sauces which by the way are delicious especially enjoyed the orange red one
This place is totally worth it and I would go back
My advice is order your food and take it to go to enjoy in your home, work or in your car.

Their authentic, delicious Carnitas make this place an instant 5 Star. Their speed of service and customer service in general (even to Spanish speakers like me) is a poor half star.
What I recommend is going in, grab a pound of Carnitas and enjoy them in the comfort of your home.

The food here is tasty but overpriced. The service was bad and they charged full price for the tea refills. No warning on this. The server constantly carried the food out with money in the same hand. The money was touching the plate. It was a horrible experience overall.

Authentic. That is the word to describe this place. I got breakfast tacos on flour tortillas. The tortillas are perfect. Not too thin or too thin. The red salsa they have has amazing roasted flavor and is just the right amount of spicy. The employees all have smiles on their faces, are polite and helpful. The pricing on all the menu items are great! You can get a full meal for 10 bucks. You won’t leave feeling like you got jipped on the portions either. There is a bit of a language barrier, but that is all part of the experience :)

This place is delicious! No the most inviting since it is primarily a tortilla factory and then the restaurant part was an afterthought. So the restaurant feels a little cramped and when it’s full or there are kids around it can be quite noisy! I am guessing capacity is the dining area is about 20 people and sometimes the clientele can be a little too blue collar. In one particular instance I remember this one «tex-mex”/hispanic (definitely not from Mexico but of Mexican American origins) speaking loudly to his friend and/​or on his blue tooth device and being incredibly vulgar! You could tell Spanish was not his first language but he was certainly trying, dropping all kinds of curse words in Spanish. Nasty!
The service is pretty decent, not slow at all but certainly not service with a smile. Waitress (there’s usually only one) is mostly if not completely Spanish-​speaking so like others have said, this equates to authenticity! This is not Tex-​Mex food. And it is good! My girlfriend (Asian but loves Mexican food) loves the flautas (yes they are flautas, not rolled tacos or taquitos) there. They give you 4 to an order and they are fat and round! Filled with chunks of chicken, not shredded or «pulverized» chicken. They are hearty and filling. Tasty albeit a little too oily sometimes. They don’t skimp out on the meat nor the avocado that comes with the «side» salad.
I myself have grown fond of the Caldo de Res/​z. Don’t quite remember how they spell it as you can see plenty of typos on their menu… again, English is not the 1^st language spoken here. It is savory, not greasy, nearly boiling hot and perfect for one of those chilly winter days like we’ve been getting here. On a hot summer day I don’t recommend it… yes it is still delicious but it’ll have you sweating! Especially if you accompany it with a chile toreado. Those suckers are hit or miss but they can have you in tears! Sabrosisimo! The caldo has carrot spears, potato, some cilantro, I think, and it comes with some Spanish rice that is just okay. Just throw the rice into the caldo, it’s better that way. You get a side of warm tortillas and they don’t skimp out on the tortillas! I think mine came with about 6 of them. For caldo, go with the corn tortillas. Flour would be a sin!
Whenever in town I plan on going back. Fingers crossed I don’t have to share the small room with another «vato/mofo/dog»…whatever! People like that embarass me… I am Mexican American, just like him.
Still, give this place a try. despite the humble and cozy seating area, or the questionable neighborhood, or the only one way in and one way out parking lot, it’s definitely good eating and worth it! La Sabrocita is worth it! Could it be better? Sure! But I’ve yet to find one that IS better.

Great place to get fresh corn tortillas! A stack of 30 white corn tortillas is $ 2!
The tortilleria is also a small taqueria with about a dozen dishes. There is a small dine-​in area.
I got a carnitas gordita to-​go and while it was good, I did want a little bit more seasoning on the pork.
If you want some chicharrones, this is the place! They have slabs of the stuff!
Service was friendly and fast.

I walked into this place this morning and it had a funky smell, (as most whole in the wall places do) on top of that the wait staff was not very courteous and did not speak one word of English! The food had lots and lots to be desired, and as if that wasn’t enough. The man helping me weighed raw bloody meat and then tried to weigh my barbacoa on the same scale without cleaning it. This place is absolutely disgusting!!! DO NOT EAT for your own safety!

Great food and very nice people, just not that one would expected a tortarillia to have such good food. Advise you to read the menue and the specials on the walls as they are very well priced for the quality and quantity of food. Corn torts are king here but they do have flour. Their salsas are also very good. Service is only lacking if you dont speak spanish, but as I see it that equals more adventure especially knowing the quality will be good.

Tortillas were pretty good, I mean, they should be. The barbacoa was no bueno. Would go back to get tortillas but thats it.

The above Unilocaler took the words out of my mouth: Whether it be Chinese, Thai or Mexican; when a language barrier needs to be overcome while placing your order the probability for authentic, tasty eats is favorable.
I live and work near by so this has become my go-​to spot for some real Mexican food. Today was my third visit so I am confident in their consistency. I have enjoyed the pork chili verde, grilled chicken and a burrito. They make all the tortillas in-​house along with the sauces, chips and drinks. They also sell these staples in bags and tupperware at very good prices.
The prices range between $ 5 and $ 8 for a plate and I have never spent over $ 10 for a meal and drink. If you dont mind the location and are committed to seeking out good food for its own sake this should be on your list.

I knew this place was going to make it when I walked in and absolutely nobody in the place spoke a lick of English! I mean, it’s definitely tough to get any change or customization of your order across, but I absolutely love it! I like when my ethnic foods are taken or cooked by people that aren’t necessarily of US origin.
Okay, moving on the moment you walk in, you’re completely overwhelmed by the smell of braised, boiled, and fried MEATS. Think of them as a pre-​cooked carniceria, because they have a large array and assortment of pork, beef, chicken, and lamb that have been prepared in a multitude of ways.
From chichharrones (fried pork skin/​rinds) to barbacoa (prepared from three different types of beef), the list is really endless on meat fillings.
You’ll also notice once you walk in that there is a list of lunch/​dinner entrees that span across the top of the wall. SO MANY OPTIONS — and most of them very familiar to other taquerias around Austin.
My favorite of the meats was probably the al pastor, and I enjoy ordering them in the burrito entrée. Their burritos, by the way, are moreso like rolled tacos, that are pan-​grilled to a slight crisp. The meal also comes with a side of beans and a side-​salad. Their green sauce reminds me of Pollo Rico’s – definitely a good thing.
Lastly – and I probably should have mentioned this earlier – they have fresh tortillas that you can also buy in bulk. Thus, the «tortilleria!» You see them making the tortillas from scratch from a HUGE tortilla machine. Looked to me like they also packaged these into boxes, probably to be distributed in stores or restaurants.
Overall – I’d go back from time to time for a nice lunch. I would rank them around or even slightly above your average taqueria.
