Breakfast tacos · Austin
Austin's morning ritual: scrambled eggs, potatoes or bacon and beans on a fresh flour or corn tortilla, with salsa and queso added at the counter. Mass-produced and locally perfected.
Breakfast tacos are a Tex-Mex tradition that crystallized in South Texas and central Texas in the early 20th century. The Austin version, on a homemade tortilla, took its current form in the 1990s and 2000s through Tacodeli (opened 1999 on Spyglass), Veracruz All Natural (founded 2008 as a fruit cart, taco truck by 2010) and Pueblo Viejo. The migas taco, eggs scrambled with crispy tortilla chips, pico, cheese and avocado, became Austin's signature; Alton Brown called Veracruz's migas 'the best breakfast taco I have ever had' in 2017.
