Food & Drink What your favorite Austin breakfast taco says about you

Dan Gentile

Breakfast tacos. Austin loves them, and any self-respecting resident has a favorite. But what does that preference say about you as an individual? So glad you asked! Find out what your preferred breakfast taco dictates about your personality (or lack thereof!).

Torchy's Tacos South Austin

You like to think of yourself as an urban hipster, but you moved to Round Rock two years ago. You have seen several shows at Cedar Park Center and think it has great acoustics. You are fond of places that offer secret menus, but rarely order from them.

TacoDeli Barton Hills

You're from Austin. No, really, you promise, and you have evidence in the form of a Go Local card. You often consume steam tray breakfast tacos at coffee shops. You will put queso on just about anything.

Taco Cabana Multiple Locations

You may or may not be Mayor Lee Leffingwell.

Veracruz All Natural East Austin

Like everyone you know, you live in East Austin. The only time you travel South of the river is to buy vinyl records at End of an Ear. You have no shame in ordering migas for lunch and have a mild resentment that Rachael Ray found this place first.

Fresa's

Fresa's Downtown

It's your ethical responsibility to pay twice the price to know your chicken enjoyed the freedom of laying eggs in a slightly bigger (but still tiny) box than the poorer chickens. You would drive a hybrid car, except you don't have any money left because you buy very expensive tacos.

Rudy's Multiple Locations

This was the first BBQ joint you went to when you moved to Austin, and you have a soft spot for it, even though you know it's not top-tier. You have seen Bob Schneider perform more than three times. There aren't many other places that sell breakfast tacos near you.

Juan in a Million East Austin

Your Delta Sig bros used to roll up and crush a Don Juan each to soak up the regrets from the previous evening. You still talk about that one time when Juan sat down at your table instead of just giving you a thunderous handshake. You have not spent a great deal of time exploring East Austin.

Maria's Taco Xpress South Austin

You're either a drag queen or too lazy to drive more than two minutes for a better taco. Or both.

Tamale House East East Austin

You are thrifty at heart, but not actually that good at budgeting. You have flashbacks to tacos costing less than a dollar. Buffalo Exchange never wants to buy back your clothes, even though they are generally considered very stylish.

El Primo South Austin

You rarely travel outside of South Austin.

Bouldin Creek Cafe South Austin

You’re so addicted to that veggie chorizo that you don’t even mind waiting 45 minutes FOR A TACO. You spend a lot of time at Barton Springs. You have sizeable late fees due to both I Love Video and Vulcan for a combination of mid-'90s Hollywood blockbusters and obscure Criterion Collection films. You rarely wear close-toed shoes.
