Taqueria Gardenia is known for serving some of the best tacos in Austin, with the Carne Asada and chicken tacos being popular choices. The friendly owner and staff offer great service, making customers feel welcome. The tacos are authentic, juicy, and tender, with a nice spicy kick from the sauces. The corn tortillas are highly praised and considered some of the best. Customers often recommend ordering more than just a few tacos, as the portions and flavors are impressive. The Verde salsa is especially noted as one of the best salsas ever, enhancing the overall experience. The chef also offers helpful suggestions, such as where to find a great Bowl of Birria de Res. While some find certain tacos, like the Barbacoa, a bit too fatty, the flavor remains excellent. The restaurant provides a relaxed environment, and service is friendly, even when fewer customers are present. The only concern mentioned is the presence of homeless individuals in the parking lot nearby. Overall, Taqueria Gardenia is a must-visit for authentic, delicious tacos.
