Veracruz All Natural

"One of the city’s best taco restaurants can luckily be found in Downtown Austin. Veracruz’s Congress Avenue location, which is tucked within the Line Hotel, features a robust menu of tacos (yes, get the migas), quesadillas, and weekend brunch in its industrial dining room – or underneath the white pergola outside. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person." - Darcie Duttweiler

"At the essential Austin food truck, sisters Reyna and Maritza Vazquez make the best tacos in the city, served on handmade corn and flour tortillas with fresh salsas. It’s not a complete order without the migas taco and an agua fresca. Takeout and delivery orders are placed online or in person for all of its locations, plus the Veracruz Fonda restaurant in Mueller; most locations include indoor areas and all have outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell

"There aren’t a ton of things that almost everyone in the city universally agrees on, but if any statement were to cross all party lines and gain universal support, it’s that Veracruz All-Natural makes the best damn migas tacos in town. Come here first thing in the morning—either to start a day of hopping around the East Side, or to recover from a long night out—and make your way through the ever-present line to enjoy some of the best breakfast tacos in Austin. Make sure to grab one of their great aguas frescas, or hop over to Fleet Coffee next door for a morning pick-me-up (we like the espresso and tonic)." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, raphael brion

"The migas taco at Veracruz All-Natural sets the bar for all other migas tacos. Like Super Mario Bros. 3 or the brisket at Distant Relatives, they’re best in class. What makes these migas tacos so much better than all the other ones out there? The ingredients (they make their own tortilla chips), the execution, and the attention to detail (they take their time cooking things). Veracruz has three trucks and two brick-and-mortar locations, and you’re probably going to have to wait in line no matter which one you go to. But just know these tacos are always worth it. What to get: Migas originales (add the molcajete salsa); Migas poblanas " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
