Güero's Taco Bar
Güero's Taco Bar
$$Located at 1412 S Congress Ave, Güero's has been serving Austin since 1986. They're open daily from 11am-10pm and have an amazing oak-shaded patio.
Grab a seat on the oak-shaded patio under the giant live oaks — it’s one of the most iconic outdoor dining setups in all of South Congress.
The al pastor is incredible - perfectly seasoned with a nice char. Service can be slow during peak hours but the margaritas make the wait worthwhile.
Weekend lunch and dinner rush (especially during festivals or beautiful weather) can mean 20–30 minute waits. Go early or aim for off-peak hours.
Expect to spend around $15-20 per person.
Parking can be tricky on South Congress. Street parking fills quickly — consider rideshare or parking a few blocks away and walking.
