Reviews for Papa Joe's Tex-Mex in Austin, TX
Authentic tacos at a great price. They do have spots to sit but mostly order ahead and take home.
You step in and you know where you are; grandmas kitchen with a little bit of seating. With only 2 family seating tables, and... 5/6 couple?s tables, the set up is designed mostly for take out. However, given it?s excellent location to gyms, S. Walnut Creektrail, and Ray G. Park, you?ll probably want to take your food with you regardless. That said, it?s hard to knock this placefor anything. The staff is the definition of Austin hospitality and will cater to you (even if you?re white and have dietaryrestrictions like myself ????????). ?? if you don?t understand this joke?I?m sorry?you can?t be helped. The food quality is onpar with the price, and you will enjoy what you get no doubt. If you?re familiar with authentic Mexican food items you will feelat home. And if you only know Tex-Mex, don?t worry, it?s in the name. Note: they take card and Apple Pay for payment. If youare a Tex-Mex lover such as myself, you will love this place. Highly recommend for a budget-conscious authentic Tex-Mex dinningexperience. Enjoy ?????? Read more
Best Mexican food in Austin hands down. Austin does good tacos, bbq, etc but there just aren?t many decent Tex mex options... compared to San Antonio or Houston. Papa Joe?s may not look like much but I?ve tried almost everything on the menu and haven?tonce been disappointed. Amazing sauces too. Read more
Picked up a migas taco to go around 10 am on a Saturday; food was ready in minutes and service was very friendly. Taco was great... - good tortilla and salsa, crunchy tortilla chips, lots of flavor. Nice atmosphere inside. Read more
Great Mexican vibes + authentic food! What else do you need from a Tex-Amex restaurant? They prepared my food so fast; and it... tasted great. Parking is a limited. Make sure they check their hours, as they?re not open all day. Read more
Nice small Mexican place with friendly staff! It has standard breakfast tacos, more breakfast options, and daily lunch specials,... but the quality is average. The place itself has an odor, so it wasn?t a very pleasant dine in experience. Would come back forsome take out breakfast tacos next time maybe. Read more
Love the migas here. I really do. They are simple and crispy which is what makes them good. Small place but friendly. Next... to Canopy, the art collective. Read more
Solid breakfast tacos! Menudo was great! Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Barbacoa tacos were all fab! What a great local spot! They... even have pancakes and we will be back! Read more
