Aus Tacodeli - Austin

During a lengthy layover, a friend recommended this restaurant to me. I tried two tacos, not particularly enjoying the heather one, but greatly enjoying the steak taco. Fast service, although more staff is needed as tables were not being cleaned during my visit. The restaurant has lovely pictures on the walls and appealing tables. I appreciate the concept of "farm to taco" that this place represents, so I definitely recommend it.

The service was quick, but the ordering system was confusing. My companion and I struggled to understand it. Fortunately, they had the basic taco without egg that I wanted. However, my companion wanted eggs and a coffee. I decided to go to another place for a latte while waiting. It worked out perfectly because the staff was singing a song with my name while I was away.

When looking for a meal at the AUS airport, expect long lines. However, Tacodeli is worth the wait. I tried the Papas, w/Egg and Cheese taco and the Steak taco, both were good. I preferred the 'Papas' as it was neater and easier to eat without any taco juice dripping. The mashed potatoes and cheese in the Papas taco held everything together well. The flavors were enjoyable and the staff was friendly. Despite the chaos of the airport, the line moved quickly and the meal was satisfying. Try the Verde sauce, it's labeled as 'hot' but I found it to be more flavorful than spicy.

Located next to gate 23. Great vegan taco be sure to get two (one is not enough) chips and salsa made for a great side. I would skip the guacamole next time.

The menu here is small, so there are only two vegan options the freakin vegan taco and the chips and salsa. they are the perfect pre-fly menu.
