My late night jaunts in Austin have usually lead me to a number of late night spots, most of which has been food truck taquerias and cater to us hungry night owls in the local food scene. One such spot has been El Super Taco, which is east of I-35 and a stone's throw from the airport. While I wouldn't call their food super per se, I would note that they've been a solid option practically every time. (#1)The truck itself is parked at an old gas station, which they've converted to an outdoor dining space complete with parking and picnic benches for folks who want to chow down on the spot. During the pandemic they had built an where they take payment straight through a window and of course, it's cash only. The wait isn't too long for the food and during their heydey, the tables were usually filled with people. At 2AM, not so much.Unlike the Houston taco scene, they have asada (#2) as one of their choice meats, followed by pastor, barbacoa, cecina, pollo, chicharron, campechano, and deshebrada. The latter is a shredded beef that has been one of their best sellers and is not commonly found at most taco spots. Their barbacoa and pastor are good, but they are commonly sold out before their night is over.They also have breakfast tacos during select times of the day, and that's do a very good huevos based taco with nopales or tocino or salchipapa or the classic chorizo and/or spinach. The tortas, sopes, quesadillas, and sincronizadas are worth considering, but the gorditas and tostadas are very underrated.Speaking Spanish isn't required (#3), it is helpful. The staff is quite good about expediting the food, especially when there is a line. It hasn't been a problem during their later hours and there's been plenty of seating.Lastly, I recommend taco selfies for that sick mural. Most taco stands / trucks won't have something that artistic, so I recommend taking advantage of it while it's still here.___________(#1) Consistency and reliability. It matters in life and in tacos.(#2) Seriously, what's the deal with the meat "fajita" in Houston?(#3) Welcome to Austin!

Saw the pictures, read the reviews everything looked good. I ended up getting some pastor and asada tacos... the pastor was pink highly colored flavorless meat totally opposite from a trompo style pastor. The asada was alright. I love the people that worked there, but gah the food killed me. Will not recommend going.

So delish! Authentic tacos and the best service! Our tacos were hot, full of flavor and overall soooo good.

Tacos were definitely misrepresented. The pastor meat was more like the pork marinade that they sell by the pound at the super mercados. The only thing they had going for them was the portion. I might just be a taco snob though. They weren't terrible. Just not accurate or something to rave about.

If I ever leave Texas, I will absolutely miss the abundance of taco trucks at gas stations. I needed to refill my gas tank and figured I would grab a few tacos for lunch, while I did. This place accepts cash or Venmo (and they have the Cash App). They were sold out of the Al Pastor, which is normally my go-to. I opted for the Chorizo-Campenchano and the Shredded Beef tacos. They served the tacos with a green (I think vinegar-based) sauce and fresh limes. The tacos were delicious - I was partial to the shredded beef. They had other menu items, likes tortas and quesadillas. Great little spot.

Amazing tacos! The perfect place for late night tacos. Some of the best street tacos I've ever had. I got a steak gringas, tripa, pastor, and pollo tacos, all on corn tortillas. The tortillas, meat, onions, cilantro, and salsa were all perfect, and at such a cheap price! I would definitely recommend getting a gringas, the cheese made it so much better! There was also a guy selling Mangonadas and fruit out of the back of his pickup truck which all went perfectly with the tacos. This place is cash only. I didn't realize until after our meal that there were pickled veggies by the truck next to the bottles of salsas.
I've eaten here for years and have never been disappointed! When my friends come in from out of town, I take them here and they're always blown away by how great and affordable it is!

I might need to rethink a lot of major life decisions. Probably I should have pursued a more lucrative career path, probably in technology. I should have invested heavily in Apple stock. And maybe I should have married one of the rich guys who I dated in my twenties. My most recent regrettable life decision was waiting this long to try these tacos. Let's talk tacos types: My boyfriend and I each had a steak taco, he had the Barbacoa and I had an Al Pastor. This was...taco meat heaven (and I'm a dedicated atheist.) The flavor of these meats was like something neither of us have experienced (and we've put away some tacos in our day). I would unequivocally recommend all three of these taco types, but my boyfriend lost his mind over the barbacoa. I had to physically restrain him from immediately returning to get more barbacoa tacos. Now he is on the couch, giving me reproachful glances and whispering softly: "barbacoa," as though remembering a lover lost as sea. He also just informed me, very solemnly, with eye contact, gently clutching my hand, "I am so sorry that you didn't order the barbacoa." So he would probably recommend the barbacoa.

Love it. Best Christmas dinner.

I come here often because it's within walking distance of my apartment, and they never miss. Naturally, on some days their tacos are better than other days, but it's still a 5 star from me. However I've only ordered chorizo street tacos from here because I like their chorizo meat way better than any other place I've been at so I can't vouch for the other things on their menu. I'm sure they're good though! The red sauce is really hot so beware if you're sensitive to spicy food, and their chorizo meat is already spicy enough for me!
