When students return home from school to Austin after exams are wrapped up, and there’s time to catch up with family, it’s usually done over meals. We eat together not only for sustenance but also for fun and celebration. Why not consider a springtime taco crawl in Austin as a great way to welcome your hard-working son or daughter back into the fold from being gone these long, lonely semesters away from home (or wait, maybe that was just us parents that felt it was long and lonely.) Either way, let’s get our priorities straight and plan to eat as many different tacos at as many different locations right here in the Texas Hill Country as we can possibly stand!

First off, the wealth of savory soft tacos to be found in Austin is amazing. It’s no surprise that to find such a luscious delicacy as this, you might want to swing by a Tacodeli location. There are three of them in the city. “Best tacos in Austin,” as well as Dallas and Houston apparently – or so says their website. And we’re inclined to taste test this theory on behalf of enquiring minds. A Cowboy Taco, or Mojo Fish Taco, and even a Freakin’ Vegan, all there for the picking, and eating!

Next, you can try the tacos that are taking over Austin at tantalizing Torchy’s! Starting with a food truck and a dream, their menu covers all the bases. Trailer Park and Mr. Orange are some great ones to try, but you can be the judge since they have nine breakfast tacos and 14 lunch/dinner types to choose from! The possibilities are tantalizing.

There’s also an extensive list of places you can choose from, which grows, it seems, each year. We’re bound to miss some of your favorites, so don’t hesitate to comment or post the ones we’re clearly missing. But consider Izzoz Tacos (pronounced “E-Zo’s”), Guero’s Taco Bar, and Zocalo Cafe. This last one, on West Lynn Street, has some amazing Tacos de Carnitas you won’t want to miss! Despite your best efforts, a full-on springtime taco crawl in Austin could literally take days. Your taste for tacos may never diminish and the Texas Hill Country food phenomenon that is the Austin taqueria keeps on coming up with great new locations and new menu additions we’ve yet to even think of! So, take those fresh-faced, college-student kids of yours out on the town and tour the city – one taco at a time.
