About Taqueria Gardenia

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 presence of homeless individuals in the nearby parking lot has been mentioned as a concern. Customers also enjoy the handmade maíz tortillas, which are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly chewy. A side of the road taco truck offers perfectly sized tacos with great meat, and the prices are reasonable. Many customers find this place perfect for a quick, authentic taco fix, especially when the weather is nice and they can visit late. Overall, Taqueria Gardenia is a must-visit for delicious, authentic tacos.

Charlie was awesome and the tacos were some of the best breakfast tacos i’ve had, they also have homemade corn tortillas which were delicious, the chorizo and egg and bacon and egg tacos were delicious!!!

Got a steak taco and wish I would've ordered more. I'll be going back! The area isn't the safest if I'm being completely honest

Best tacos I had in Austin so far lol not saying much but this almost tasted like a SAN Antonio taco truck
