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.
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.
Grab a seat on the oak-shaded patio under the heritage oak trees — it’s one of the best people-watching spots on South Congress.
Weekend lunch and dinner rush (especially Friday–Sunday) can mean 20–30 minute waits. Put your name in early and browse SoCo shops while you wait.
Street parking along South Congress fills up quickly. Check the nearby side streets or consider rideshare during peak hours.
Expect to spend around $15-20 per person.
