I'm not a huge fan of Austin but I'll make a special trip from up in north Texas for Las Cazuelas. This is possible my favorite Mexican food restaurant anywhere. It's definitely not the fanciest place but the food is spectacular and the staff is super friendly. If Mexican food is your thing, this is the real deal!

Las Cazuelas has a special place in my heart cuz I used to come here all the time during college. I've tried various versions of their cheese enchiladas, and most recently their cheese taquitos, and I can say that I've never had a bad meal here. The taste/flavor isn't very consistent so I would recommend not getting too attached to any specific preparation, but however my food comes out of the kitchen, it's still always good and filling.

When you feel under the weather or just can't shake those darn cedar allergies, they caldo de pollo at Las Cazuelas is simply the best remedy. Huge portion, very fresh, lots of vegetables, served with a side of tortillas. Makes you feel better than mom.

I've been to San Luis Potosi... but the food here is better than the original food from San Luis Potosi, haha. It's delicious and healthy.

I used to frequent this place when I was working at the airport and wanted a fix to my Mexican food craving. I love coming here for their tortas and extensive bar menu. Service is like your usual locally owned family restaurant. I loved the music they were playing and I love seeing all of the pictures they have around the restaurant. My only problem is parking is very hard to find, since they're surrounded by bars on Cesar Chavez I know this isn't their fault and I really hope they don't end up getting pushed out of East Austin.

We needed tacos and it was too damn hot to walk far. This was the first place we saw and it vibed just right Good call!! Breakfast all day, and mostly well under $10---sold!!! We each got three breakfast tacos, which were delicious. I ate them all before I thought to take a pic. Chips come with red and green salsa, and there's a whole salsa bar with other choices. For me, this is what an unassuming Mexican restaurant should be, with great funky decor, obviously some history in the location, and a range of selections in the food, from very simple and cheap to more ambitious when you want a full meal--and what looks like a substantial bar menu. I feel I've found a treasure and will be back!

My brothers brought their breakfast tacos back to our Airbnb for breakfast several mornings this past weekend, and everyone enjoyed them. At just $1.50 per breakfast taco, the prices are incredibly reasonable. The portion sizes were pretty good too.

This is by far my favorite place for taqueria brunch when I visit Austin proper. Why? Well, in part due to the comfort induced by repetitive good habits that is an integral part of the Human Condition. I first visited Las Cazuelas back in January after a bit of a bummer of an experience the evening before. The place was quaint, cozy and quiet. I was promptly greeted by a nice waitress who worked diligently with me so I could order my standard taqueria brunch (Steak, eggs & bacon (à la carte)). Okay, if I'm being honest, the first time here it was a pork chop instead of bacon, but you get the idea. I now come here for brunch almost every time I'm in town. They have good food, good people and good prices. It is surrounded by a lot of homeless individuals, but they come off as fairly harmless, and hey, that's life in the big city. So that might be a turnoff for some. But, for anyone with a basic understanding of Human Nature, this should not be a deterrent. In short, I highly recommend Las Cazuelas for some good classic taqueria brunch. Oh, and one more thing; they have some tasty salsas!
