Great service, great food, and friendly environment. Taste like moms cooking, made with love. I recommend getting their quesadillas campechanos, or their bambaso. Also, their aguas frescas taste amazing. If you have room for dessert, recommend their homemade bread.

Is the only place that I can ask for enchiladas the Mexican way. I have not found any other restaurante that knows what I'm talking about. Next I will like to try their sopes. Delicious food!!

If you eat here, you need to be prepared to move tables in the midst of your dinner, take your glasses and everything else with you. We had reserved a table for 18.30 and were told that we can have it until 20.30 - 2 hours, fair game. We had to wait until 18.45 before we were taken to our table. We ordered 4 tapas, paella for 2 and a bottle of red. 1 hour and 15 minutes in our dinner (at 20.00) - we had finished the paella and had just ordered dessert - we were told to move to another table ("you have to move to a different table, since we need this table for 4 now"). So we had to juggle our wine glasses, water glasses, the bottles and our coats and moved to a different table, where already 2 other guests were waiting for their dinner. Completely unacceptable, we paid 100EUR for this experience and left immediately. This impolite behaviour seemed to be normal at this restaurant, since we had observed the same happening to 2 Japanese guests earlier that evening. The food was average. So in total I do not see any reason to recommend this place

As a transplant (Chicagoan) currently residing in Lubbock I have tried almost every single Mexican restaurant here. An acquaintance suggested we stop by and try for some food. He never hyped up the food but as the dishes were being brought out, those dishes they spoke for themselves. The menudo was full of flavor, clean, just the right amount of spice and full bodied. I feasted and had every single taco available on the menu. They were al delicious, very true to what is expected from a taco. Nothing fancy (velvet taco?) yet still full of flavor and I devoured every single morsel.I highly recommend you stop by if you find yourself in the vicinity...or just make a trip our there. It will be all worth it.

We ordered fish platters, some tapas paella and cod in tomato sauce. The paella was ok, not special. Fish was fresh, but the portions were small. Generally it was ok but not what we expected.

(Translated by Google) Good food. Pico de gallo with pineapple ?. Tasty toasties and they have habanero sauce. The food was very rich. Very friendly ladies. On a beautiful day like today eating outside under the roof was nice. Thanks for good service and food.(Original)Comida rica. Pico de gallo con pina ?. Tostadas sabrosas y tienen salsa habanero. La comida estuvo bien Rico. Las señoras muy amables. En un día Hermosa como hoy comer afuera abajo el techo estaba lindo. Gracias por buen servicio y comida.

Good tacos homemade corn tortillas love the pastor and campechano
Found this truck on a whim as I am rarely on north Lamar. Quick and friendly service and a nice covered area to eat. Had the tacos al pastor. The real deal! The meat was colorful, tangy and tender. Served on delicious homemade corn tortillas with cilantro, onion, lime and salsa verde. I'll have to find an excuse to make it back this way...

There is a whole string of Mexican/Central American food trucks up and down North Lamar between 183 and Braker. They serve the local Mexican and Central American communities. This is one of the most popular food trucks of them all. You come here at night and there are crowds underneath the colored lights. You go to some of the other trucks to find a dark empty parking lot. The cook is very very happy to see you and get some business. Some of the "deserted" trucks are pretty good. There are a bunch of fine food trucks on North Lamar waiting to be discovered. But whenever the crowd tells you where to go, it is generally a good idea to listen. You will not go wrong eating at Casa del Sabor. * * * Casa del Sabor is a uncompromising Mexican truck. They serve all the part of the cow - not just hamburger and bistec. On weekends they have both menudo and birria. Of particular note is that they have pambazos ... tortas grilled in a chile-ed oil and stuffed with potato and meat. Potatoes in a big bread sandwich? Not what an American would have served. But if you want a filling hearty lunch, potatoes in a sandwich will definitely do it. Their pambazos fall apart with the bread unable to hold the weight of all the filling. Normally that is a horrible terrible sin in sandwich making. At Casa del Sabor, pamabazos that fall apart are a good thing. * * * Riddle: When is It Good For Your Sandwich To Fall Apart? * * * Answer: When the filling is so good, you don't want to lose it in the bread and The bread is so good you don't want to be distracted by filling. So your collapsed sandwich turns into two dishes both of which are superior dishes on their own. Bread grilled in chili oil? Sign me up for this item. Bistec and potato with homemade jalapeno sauce? Sign me up for this one too. I happily chowed down my two course lunch. * * * Note that if you order a pambazo, that a pambazo can absorb a lot of spice and you will never notice it. They have a mild and a super firey jalapeno sauce. Have no fear. Go for the jalapeno. Once it mixes with all that bread and all that potato, the jalapeno sauce will be civilized enough ... thank you very much. * * * If you want the fun and the crowds, come at night time. At lunch time, the place was strangely deserted ... Although to be fair, the City of Austin was doing its once-a-decade patching of the potholes in Lamar Boulevard right in front of the food truck. But the crowd picks up as the afternoon moves on. By one thirty there was a substantial line in front of the kitchen. It was time for this social distancing Yelp reviewer to move on. * * * One last note. Casa del Sabor is next to a title loan company. They do their car inspections and talk business right in front of the restaurant. So if you have ever been curious about that aspect of life, and don't want to hock your own car, order a big meal from Casa Del Sabor and hang around for a while. You can get a huge education from lingering and eating your tacos. * * * Thumbs up all around for Casa del Sabor. There are still a lot of North Lamar food trucks out there that I have yet to try. But judging from what I see and what I have eaten, I will bet you Casa del Sabor makes a helluva lengua taco. Which all by itself is a reason for a return trip.

We visited this restaurant following the good reviews on TripAdvisor. Fish was overcooked and no effort was done on presentation. The kind of fish restaurant you could find at any street corner if you don't mind eating anywhere. The day after we tried La Sepia in the Sternschanze area. Also Portuguese, same price range but way better !
