OMG - the BEST tacos in East Austin! The Migas taco is written up as one of the best breakfast tacos in the city each year. Run by a sweet Mexican grandmother with little English (no worries, she know all her menu items in English!), she'll make you feel like you're in her kitchen and she's cooking just for you. And you can't beat the price. Look for the little orange truck
