Juanita’s Breakfast Tacos

Flour tortillas, eggs and potatoes, 6 a.m. sharp.

An Austin breakfast-taco counter where the flour tortillas are rolled and griddled all morning. Egg and potato, bean and cheese, migas, chorizo: the classics, done right.

Order at the window, grab your foil-wrapped bundle and eat on the picnic tables out front.

Taquería El Trompo Feliz

A trompo that spins like it has somewhere to be.

A corner lot in East Austin, wedged between a tire shop and a yoga studio. The star is the trompo: a lacquered cone of adobo pork crowned with pineapple and carved to order.

Tortillas are pressed in-house all day, the salsa bar has pickled carrots and jalapeños, and on weekends the line wraps around the building until 2 a.m.

📍 Taquería profile: Taquería El Trompo Feliz (hours, ratings, address)

Taquería El Trompo Feliz sits on a corner lot in East Austin, wedged between a tire shop and a yoga studio, which feels about right for Austin. The star of the show is the trompo: a proud, lacquered cone of adobo-marinated pork crowned with a pineapple, carved to order by a taquero with the reflexes of a fencing champion.
