Vazquez Restaurant

OK, may be I had my expectations set way high, but… This place was recommended as «the best» breakfast tacos in the North Austin… Come on? really? If I wake up to have breakfast — it will not be this place.
Coffee — BAD, tacos are OK-​ish at best…
The place is a bit run-​down and not well maintained, it looks like they still have their Cinco de Mayo decorations, or is that a permanent set up?
Four of us met up for breakfast, and… none of us left impressed. Sorry, wanted to love this place with it being so close to work and a hotel I usually stay at.
May be their are better for lunch and dinner?

Breakfast tacos were big, tasty and affordable. Will absolutely be going back to try the rest of the menu — which all looks appetizing

Tastiest breakfast tacos this side of the boarder. They are stuffed with egg and meat. Will not disappoint even they most judgmental of taco enthusiast.

Salsa tastes like it’s came straight from a can, the queso is very sweet and odd tasting, they don’t have fountain drinks, and the food was a level down from Taco Bell. I’m not sure who is getting great food here 4 star worthy. Very disappointed from this visit, really wanted good Mexican food. Unfortunately I will not be returning here ever again. I will say the waitress was very nice, but nothing else positive from the visit.

Our new go to for Mexican food! The Arre! Burrito is the closest I’ve found to the burrito’s I grew up with. Sorry Guadalajara, we found Vasquez.

I stopped in for a quick breakfast taco before my meeting nearby. I wanted to try it because of the positive Unilocal reviews. I got one bean egg and bacon and one bean egg and potato taco, both on corn tortillas. They were very good. The tortilla wasn’t anything special but the filling was really good. I especially liked the beans, which had an almost smoky flavor like they had been cooked with bacon or ham hocks. Very tasty. I also enjoyed their salsa, which comes in your own pourable container. It is not chunky at all and is really quite thin, but it tastes like a mix of salsa and enchilada sauce, a good combination that I really like. I would love to come back at lunch time and try it on some chips.
The coffee comes in your own pot, kind of like IHOP, which I really liked, because I could pour my own refills. The waitress was pleasant and the whole experience was enjoyable. I will definately be back to try some more dishes at breakfast, and also at lunch. Good call fellow Unilocalers, this is a good place.

Little hidden gem. Freshly made tex-​mex that’s hard match with all the chain type restaurants popping up everywhere. Had the carne guisada, which was as good as advertised. Fresh flour tortillas topped the meal off. Good place, will return to try for breakfast.

I came here with a group of co-​workers and absolutely loved my el pastor plate. Everyone in our group really enjoyed their dishes. Food and service was quick and we were in & out in about 45 minutes.
The only thing that would have given them more stars is better corn tortillas. The ones that were provided with our table reminded me of ones that you’d buy at the grocery store. Nothing special and they didn’t have any flavor.
I’d definitely go again and try some other things. Glad I found this place on Unilocal and will add it to my lunch rotation when I dine out.

This place makes me seriously miss living in San Antonio. I have yet to find a real Tex-​Mex place here that can compare to the SA staples, and based on other reviews, I thought I had found it.
The place looks legit enough, like the majority of taquerias I have frequented over the years. I ordered the migas rancheras plate and a tea and was a bit shocked by the price. Granted, it was only $ 12, but I’m used to paying half that in SA.
The migas were ok. Pretty good even. The tortillas were the real disappointment though. I’m fairly certain that they aren’t homemade. I have a hard time respecting Mexican restaurants that don’t make their own tortillas. Disappointing.

Very good. I had the Caldo. Very healthy, lots of veggies, very fresh. The «small» bowl was big. My husband had the menudo. He’s had at different restaurants all his life. He says it’s one the best he ever had.

We had intended to go to Enchiladas Y Mas, but it was packed, so we used Unilocal to find an alternative close by. So glad we did. The food is absolutely solid — traditional Mexican breakfast standards. Migas were great — the corn chip bits were extra thick and crisp. Over-​easy eggs were perfect — a big plus, because my picky child loves runny yolks but freaks out if he sees any «clear» egg white. Kids.
Service was quick and efficient — love how they brought us a carafe of coffee so we could handle refills ourselves. They also gave us dispensers of hot sauce, which was great so we could pour it on. The hot sauce was unusual — more liquid consistency like Tabasco rather than chunky or even diced. Not what I had expected, but still delicious and we gobbled it up.
We went at around 11:00am on a Sunday, and it was bustling but no line, so we got a table right away. Parking lot is tight — bring the smallest vehicle you can get your hands on.
So next time show up at Enchiladas Y Mas and it’s a long wait, just head up Burnet another 1.5 miles and check out Vazquez.

Greàt service and great food. I have become a regular here because of this. My favorite breakfast plate is the Migas. Not a fan of the menudo or caldo but I Am very picky when it’s comes to my favorite soups!

Hard to rate a Mexican food restaurant five stars so I went with the above average rating. Vasquez reminds me of my south Texas taquerias. Food is consistently good, reasonably priced, service is on point.
Their bfast tacos are delicious! Try the steak and guac (be warned there is a Serrano in there). Also a huge fan of their salsa.

Good traditional food for good value. The complimentary salsa is awesome, don’t put too much on your chip, it has some heat. You can’t go wrong with the breakfast tacos, yum. The interior is very basic but traditionally decorated. The staff is friendly and the service is good. Can’t wait to go back.

Love Vasquez Restaurant for breakfast. The migas rancheras plate is on point. We don’t get the beans because we’re vegetarian so they sub their perfectly cooked potatoes instead, which is a treat! The only reason they aren’t getting 5 stars for breakfast is their flour tortillas taste somewhat store bought. Otherwise great place for a hearty Mexican breakfast.

Oh man, oh man, oh man. This is some good stuff.
Vazquez is a walk away from my apartment and I’ve been curious about it for a few months now. My grandparents came to visit for dinner and, wanting something close that could cater to my Texan relatives whose ethnic culinary appreciation goes only so far, finally bit the bullet.
I Unilocal-​lusted it, yes, but I had never actually SEEN it. It’s in the same complex as a shady hotel. It looks so plain and unassuming that I knew it would be great as soon as we pulled up.
We walked in, were seated, perused the menu. Standard Mexican fare, pretty extensive menu, seemingly serving breakfast all day. We were served above average chips with WELL above average salsa– served in the same device you get for your syrup at IHOP. It was flavorful and SPICY. Not to an unpleasant extreme, but as a person who normally loves things to be unpleasantly hot, I could recognize it. My boyfriend who, like me, loves spice, thought it was pretty high. My grandparents are so vanilla that they don’t even eat salsa (especially of the spicy variety) but kept going back for more. It shocked me, really.
I asked the waitress whether I should get the chilaquiles or the huevos rancheros and the smile on her face when she recommended tthe chilaquiles gave me a sense of hope I haven’t felt since I was a child. When they arrived? The best I’ve ever had. perfectly crispy yet soggy tortilla slices and the over easy eggs and red sauce just melded perfectly. The re-​fried beans that accompanied it were DELICIOUS. I do think it’s fair to note that I’m pretty sure they were made with lard. I’m a vegetarian but my one embarrassing concession is beans; I know the legit restaurants always have lard, and I haven’t eaten meat in years but… I just love re-​fried beans, man. I just love beans. I want some beans right now. I’m a total hypocrite because I didn’t try my side order of rice because I feared it could be prepared with a meat product.
My grandparents ordered chicken quesadillas and I don’t know what else. My boyfriend ordered a barbacoa taco and some type of soup. Pazole? Is that the one with hamony? I’m just too lazy to Google it. They all lauded their respective dishes.
The only complaint I have is that the flour tortillas were really crispy. If I’m making a delicious taco mishmash of bean, chilaquile, eggs, and salsa that perfect icing on the Tres Leches is a wonderful scratch-​made tortilla that is soft and able to hold up. Really, though, for all I know traditional flour tortillas are crispy like that. I’m not taking it too much into consideration, but that’s why I’ve got no 5-​star freakout here.
Think Cheko’s on Koenig– cheap as hell, delicious as hell, legit as hell– but better. When I’m deciding where to dine, I generally want to try something new as often as possible even over my old standbys, but this place has made it’s way onto that roster. I will DEFINITELY be back. A lot.

Love the breakfast tacos!
We have been coming here for over a year now for breakfast tacos. They are so delicious and are inexpensive. This location recently remodeled and expanded it’s seating and it looks so good! The only thing I wish was that they made their own homemade tortillas! So good. So cheap. Awesome breakfast!

Great! Usually when I visit Austin I stay closer to the core of the city. Since I was out north I looked for a place to have sunday morning breakfast and am I glad I did. This is a welcoming place with good food and service.
I had the fajita and eggs combo and wasnt disappointed. Thirty years ago it was easy to find «home cooked» style mexican breakfast. Not anymore. but, this was as close as you can get without visiting someones home.
I say go!

So far the best breakfast place I’ve found in North Austin. Great service, and breakfast is all day on Sunday… Just like it should be!
If anyone has other recommendations for breakfast taco joints in North Austin, message me please :)

I can’t wait to actually eat here.
Today I was suffering from a serious case of the Mondays. No sleep, huge party the day before, 500 people clamoring for food and drink and things and stuff left me starving and running around like a maniac with no time.
Enter Vazquez with their famed breakfast tacos. I’ve actually never been here and when I walked in, I realized that it might be time for me to explore this little gem further. My breakfast tacos were great with the right balance of fixin’s and a super delicious hot sauce.
It looked really authentic and awesome (even if it didn’t have bars on the windows as I prefer) but I think I might have a new go to for breakfast tacos.
