Taqueria Morales

BRING CASH. There's also a gas station nearby with an ATM machine. Edit: as of October 2023, when I returned, they had started accepting credit card or electronic payments!! Overall, I've just discovered one of the spots I'll actually be proud to bring my friends to for some super good al pastor tacos. I enjoyed two al pastor tacos on corn tortillas for breakfast this morning. Well worth the $6. The tortillas were clearly handmade. The al pastor was so flavorful just like the ones I had in Mexico. I recommend this spot for sure.

Going south for Sunday breakfast tacos. Way Down on Williams Cannon at Taqueria Morales. Same first order as everywhere. Chorizo and egg and bacon and egg on flour tortillas. First time in a long time that I preferred the bacon. Crushed up with the eggs. Well cooked. One of the best bacon and egg on town. Chorizo was good, but I'd actually order the bacon here. Tortillas are good. A bit rubbery, but heated up right before serving. Good volume on the tacos Two is a meal at $2.50 each. Recommend.

Prior to moving to San Antonio, this place was our go to nearly every weekend for either breakfast or dinner. Barbacoa tacos were always a hit. No fat trimmings, just flavorful, quality meat…hands down the best tasting barbacoa. The gringas (pastor and cheese), burritos, tortas that were served with bread that was crispy on the out and soft and airy on the inside, their specialty tacos like the tripas (I always requested cooked to a crisp), and hamburgers were fantastic - bun toasted on the grill, meat was full of juicy flavor, crispy lettuce and that melting cheese. I enjoyed their pastor tacos or tortas with tender meat and pineapple sweetness. The consistency of their food is spot on. Don’t forget their green salsa, not too hot, just packed with all the right ingredients for a delicious touch of salsa goodness. We often make our way to grab a bite when we’re in town visiting family or friends before heading back. The same great taste we remember.

I went here for lunch earlier this afternoon, ordered 2 shrimp tacos and 1 chicken fajita taco, they were totally amazing and out of this world! Plus they were reasonably priced, the tacos were good sized which I liked, I walked away from this place feeling like I've had a lot to eat without spending a lot of $, if you're ever in South Austin please give Taqueria Morales a try, definitely a hidden gem!
