"Taco Xpress" in Austin

Maria's Taco Xpress... ah the memories...

Maria's has been an Austin staple for years. The ambiance is pure South Austin--if you don't know what that means then whenever anyone comes near you at Taco Xpress just say "78704 wut wut!" If you get pummeled don't blame me.

The Food: Consistently good but not usually exceptionally great. It's reasonably priced but it's not usually my first pick in town for tacos.
My advice: Get the queso, verde taco and a pitcher of margaritas on a mellow Sunday. I also suggest that you do NOT drink the pitcher alone or you'll be "that guy" and nobody likes that guy.

Service: Not too much to say here. You order. You pick it up. If you want anything else, go get it.

The Ambiance: Here is where Maria's really shines. If you want a weird taco bar where they play gospel music on Sundays to a crowd of margarita-drinking taco-eating old-Austin hippies than this is definitely your place. It's an experience and a fun one. Maria's is unquestionably one of a kind.
