Jefes Street Tacos

Fantastic! Absolutely my favorite place to eat on the Drag. Their pastor is excellent. They are super friendly and very fast. Whenever I have ordered from any other food truck there I regret it because they are SO MUCH FASTER to serve than any of the others.

i love getting tacos here! so convenient since it’s right next to UT and it’s a great price for a lot of food

Sorry, but these tacos just aren’t very good. I got the carnitas, barbacoa, and pastor. They looked legit, they were the right size, and they had the right amount of onion/​cilantro, so I was excited… But the carnitas were pretty dry and none of the meats were very well seasoned. I almost never pour salsa on a taco because they typically don’t need it. But each taco was very lacking in flavor. These were just super «meh». A disappointing taco experience in such a taco-​heavy city.

These tacos slayed. The line moved quickly, and the guy was extremely friendly. He gave me foil to take the tacos to go as well as a napkin and a cup of salsa. These are the truest street tacos near campus, and the 3 tacos for $ 6 is a sweet deal. I had both the carne asada and pastor, and both were delicious!

Just discovered Jefe’s from a friend’s recommendation. This are some of the best tacos in town. My favorites are the carnitas and barbacoa on flour. So fast and great flavor!

Delicious tacos. Really nice customer service. The green sauce is probably the best part.

Holy Mary mother lord!
Gonna start out with the barbacoa street taco. On corn with cilantro and onion! It’s so good, that it’s absolute pain to drive to your destination to eat it. The barbacoa is as lean as they can get it. Obviously they picked out as much fat as possible!!!
Next is the pastor street taco on corn with cilantro and white chopped onion! WOW! Holy mother! So good, the pastor is just right! I’m eating the taco with green salsa and its enormously great! Let me finish then on to the next taco review! I lied! I’m back on the pastor taco and it’s equally as good with the orange/​red salsa! Has the perfect texture, Jefe’s tacos is the shit and I’m giving it 5 stars for sure. Ok I’m gonna finishing pastor then rate the carne asada!
The carna asada meat is perfect. Splash some lime on there. Holy cow! This is what I think of when I think of street tacos! This is my first time and I rate the three tacos I had in the order I reviewed them!!!
Glad I stubbled across Jefe’s!

jefes has been a Thursday lunch staple for me and my coworkers for over a year. never disappointed, always fresh. this is real Mexican street tacos, nothing adulterated or fancy. I highly recommend the street tacos on corn tortillas for an authentic experience!

So freakin good! Just had it for lunch and reminds me of the tacos I use to eat back in the late 90’s in Mexico after the clubs.

Plain and simple: tasty street tacos. Affordable, delicious, convenient. Smiling service and a tasty plate.

I’ve been stopping by Jefe’s Street Tacos Trailer every now and then for the past year or so. The street tacos are an absolute steal for $ 5 or $ 6 (depending on if you use the Hooked app) for 3 tacos. I’m a fan of their carne asada and pastor meats. Their sauces also pair really well with the tacos, adding a great kick.
My only beef with this place is how early they close. They shut down around 2 or 3 every day. As a college student, by the time I was out of classes (or out of bed), the trailer was already closed. That’s obviously a personal problem. But, I would love to be able to eat these tacos for dinner sometimes!
All in all, the food is great and absolutely worth the price, the owners are very nice and helpful to their customers, and I’ll continue to pop over here every now and then.

I had been wanting to try this food truck for a long time. Now I feel dumb for waiting so long! Hooked had a deal that was $ 5 for three street tacos and a drink, usually it’s still $ 6 so pretty great price. Now with the quality, it’s an even better price. VERY authentic and homemade tacos. The cilantro and onions were fresh and the meat, I had chicken fajita and carne asada, was savory and cooked just like a taco should be.
The homemade hot sauces were delicious as well. Juan was manning the food truck and was friendly and very welcoming. Jefe’ Street Tacos, you will have my business and I recommend this food truck to everyone in Austin!

Really good. I had the taco special — 3 tacos for $ 6. One carne asada, one carnitas, one pastor. All 3 were good. You, yes you, should eat here.

The gentleman is the nicest person! Pastor torta, pastor and brisket tacos are amazing!!!

I love this place. Thank God for the Co-​op Food Court. He hopes to stay here as long as he can. I love the tacos here and my friends do too! Real, authentic Mexican food!
The manager of this particular trailer is superb. Since I never have time to eat my food there with my busy schedule of class and work right after, he’s always been more than happy to oblige with my to-​go requests. Today, I asked him to wrap each taco in foil so I can take it on the bus (hiding my food so they don’t make me throw it away, ya know?!) and I really appreciate him so I tipped him over 50% :) He’s sad to see me go since I’m graduating but I told him I’ll still be around since I have a job downtown!
The tacos are amazing. I love the carnitas and it is my guilty pleasure. Not bland. Avocado is fresh! Plus, your corn tortillas are always doubled up. I’ve experienced some Tacodeli mishaps with corn tortillas… so I’m glad I don’t have this issue here.
I love this place. I really do and I hope you do too.

I tried their carnitas quesadilla ($ 6.00) and it was ready pretty quickly and tasted just the way it should. I liked it because they skip the grilled veggies and pico de gallo that so many other places think belong in a quesadilla. This is just meat and cheese, and that’s the way I like it. The person who took my order was very friendly, too. I’ll go back anytime I’m near the Co-​op or the Drag and looking for a quick and delicious quesadilla.
