Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age for the taco tour? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can definitely join the taco tour! While there's no strict age limit, I’d suggest it’s best for kids who can walk a bit and handle spicy food. It's mostly family-friendly, so you can enjoy the tacos together. Just keep an eye on the spice level, as some tacos can be pretty intense.

Q: What's the best way to get to the taco tour? Is parking easy?

A: Public transport is a good option since parking can be tricky in East Austin. A lot of spots are metered, and they fill up fast on weekends. If you drive, try to arrive early to find street parking or consider rideshare services. The tour starting point is usually easy to find, so you won't have to stress too much once you’re close.

Q: If the weather’s bad, do they cancel the tour?

A: They don’t cancel for a little rain, but if there’s severe weather, they’ll definitely reschedule. You’ll get an email or call if that happens. I'd recommend checking the forecast and dressing accordingly, since you’ll be outside a lot!

Just did the taco tour in East Austin, and wow!

I recently went on the Austin Local Taco Tour, and it was amazing! We hit up some taco trucks I’d never heard of—Michelin-approved ones! The barbacoa was to die for, and they even talked about the history of each spot. I’d definitely recommend wearing stretchy pants, though, haha! Overall, a fantastic way to spend a Saturday.

Considering gifting the taco tour, but need some advice!

I’m thinking about getting the Austin taco tour for my foodie friend’s birthday. She loves trying new food, but she’s not great at walking long distances. How much walking is involved, and do they take breaks? Also, how spicy are the tacos?
