I must push back on the concept of going to either Taco Deli or Tochy’s. Those places are ass and give Austin a bad name in tacos. And the comment about Taco Deli Migas being a good idea is blasphemy. I have no skills in life but one. I am the definitive authority on Migas. And Taco Deli Migas are absolute garbage, some of the worst crap ever offered on a plate. 

So where's the best place for migas?

Joe's Bakery or Juan in a Million.

But I have to confess that I usually order menudo when they have it!

Pool Burger is overpriced, overrated mediocrity.

And Deep Eddy Cabaret has become overrun with frat douchebags from Tarrytown.  It might be OK in the early afternoon though.

La Escondida on Ben White. Across from Discount Tires. Bars on the window. No one speaks English (except Sundays) Tortillas done on the spot. Check, check, check. If need be point to what you want, especially the Migas. 

Recommending Taco Deli or Torchy's in Austin is high comedy.

Fuck Taco Deli for using mashed potatoes on their tacos.

I love the Salsa Dona at Taco Deli.

That's all I got.

El Borrego on Congress / Ben White. Los Jaliscienses on Airport. Great tacos, both. When it comes to Dona, these are so damn good. 

Side note for Los Jaliscienses. Used to be just east of Manchaca on the south side of Ben White (below). Strange place. Great food. Move further east on Ben White across from Walmart for a year, then done. New restaurant there now. 

The old LJ location east of Manchaca has an "Open" neon going all day, it seems. No one knows what is going on in the building - meth, Plonsky safe house, fresh fruit and vegetables, Ron McElvey's new home, blood draws / organ transplants, otherwise.

Big mystery, all around.

No interest seems interested in finding out.
