Tacos in South Congress

By Locally Austin editorial · Data checked July 15, 2026

South Congress has 6 taco spots in our data, 4 of them independent and 2 chains. Among the 11 districts where we found any, that puts it 3rd; East Austin has the most with 14.

Every entry is tagged amenity=restaurant or fast_food with cuisine mexican, taco or tex-mex, or 'taco' in the name in OpenStreetMap and sits within 1.1 km of the point we use as the center of South Congress. The closest to that center is Guero's Taco Bar, about 30 m away; the farthest is Taco Joint at 940 m. 3 of the 6 have a street address on record; the rest show a map point instead.

Questions people ask

How is this list ordered?
Independents first, then chains, alphabetical within each. We do not rank places and we do not publish ratings.
Why is a place I know missing?
Either it is not tagged amenity=restaurant or fast_food with cuisine mexican, taco or tex-mex, or 'taco' in the name in OpenStreetMap, or its map point is outside the 1.1 km South Congress radius, or it is closer to another district's center. The editorial policy explains how to report a gap.
Are the hours and addresses current?
Addresses come from OpenStreetMap as of the date on the byline. We do not publish hours; use the official site link where one exists, and the OSM record for the exact map point.
