Mi Tradicion has officially taken FIRST PLACE in my top 5 breakfast tacos in town. They serve them up on thick/ fresh/ homemade flour tortillas that are absolute perfection. My go to is just bacon, egg and cheese with the green salsa. Mi Tradicion doesn't skimp on ingredients either. Two is more than enough and 1 will do the trick for me.
Okay it's time. We've had this place to ourselves for long enough. This is the real deal, this is not even a little slice of Mexico this is a little slice south Austin - this is the way we live down here -- delight in the myriad of Mexican baked goods. So good. Try everything. Pro tip : it's a bakery and the bread or "bolillo" is really top notch and they use it to make sandwiches (tortas).

Torta were ok, Not great but not bad but not worth the price. Got the milanesa torta. I also got a few different pastrys and no matter which one I seem to get they were hard I when i tasted it, yup..it tasted over one or 2 day old. I went on a Saturday so thought it would be fresher. The bread was expensive as well.

First time trying al pastor tacos, love how they make it here! You get 3 nicely loaded tacos with salsa & a wedge of lime for $7. The toppings go really well with al pastor meat and you get a lot of toppings, really enjoyed the pineapple. The tortillas are even too small to hold all the toppings so it's definitely worth the money!

I was craving for a sandwich and I found ou about this place in an article online. Mexican and they had tortas.. sold!. The food was delicious. Real, every day food. I had a gringa and a torta chilanga. Tortillas are super fresh, made in house daily. The torta, fresh bread stuffed with milanesa, chorizo, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Now, this plaxe is also a bakery. All sorts of mexican breads and pastries baked daily. The smells are amazing and so are the pastries. Come by and give it a try.

LEGIT AF
Both corn and flour tortillas are tender and fresh as hell.
Their bistec is some of the closest meat to carne asada I've had in Austin.
Gringas are like mulitas from tacos el gordo.
Al pastor had more coloring than flavor, so I wouldn't order those again.
Horchata was way off. It tasted like they ran out of mixture and doubled the sugar to compensate.
Pasteria side smelled like fresh treats were still coming out of the oven even on a Friday night.
Prices are amazing. You can definitely fill your belly for well under $10.

Gringas was amazing and I'm looking forward to going back to try more of their dishes. I also bought some fresh made flour tortillas which aren't pictured. This establishment also has a bakery side where they have everything from doughnuts and churros to loaves and tres leches. I met up with a friend here during a Thursday morning and they had a line going most of the time. I'd say they're popular assuming most of those customers were regulars. I'm definitely going back for more.

Yummy! An awesome spot for ultra flavorful eats. I did an online order on their intuitive platform and a walk through purchase in the bakery. My Al pastor was spicy like it's traditionally made and packaged well in the take out bag. I loved the bright red of the meat against the blue corn base. The texture of the soft base and the meat complemented each other.
The bakery line moved smoothly and was set up the traditional way. So many items to select from, I got the piggy cinnamon cookie, almond crescent, chocolate concha, pound cake, and sugar cookie with sprinkles. It was a lot, but so

Well wanted some breakfast Tacos Walked in(unclear which is the entrance) but staggered in People randomly sitting at small tables, none with food so I was perplexed what to do. Sit and order, wait at the front counter under the TV menus to order to go, or what Very confusing I opted to wait under the menus next to the register so I waited and waited till finally a nice lady said something to me in Spanish I informed her I dont speak Spanish so she directed me to another set of registers with no menus or anything back against the wall I told her I wanted breakfast tacos with beef steak and egg

I give this place zero guácalas . It's all really good stuff . The staff is polite the food is really tasty and the bakery is exactly what you want if your Hispanic from a boarder town and miss home . I love the prices as well
Austin's ever changing economy hasn't affected the prices here yet, they charge very fairly for the food they give you ever so generously. It's not like getting expensive mediocre small hipster tacos and $4 dollar Mexican cokes , I mean you can get 9 tacos al pastor for like $12 that's including tax so yeah and they taste amazing . The tortas

Excited to try this place since I haven't really seen that many Mexican bakery. If you have a sweet tooth you'll like this place. Everything here looks like they are too sweet for my taste and they use artificial coloring for some of the food.
I didn't really like the pastries I got here... my first time trying a Yoyo, and was not impressed. It was just dry bread with artificial jam & coconut flakes. If you are used to eating Asian pastries (not too sweet & fluffy) then you most likely won't enjoy the pastries here.

This place had AMAZING traditional Mexican food and delicious goodies from the bakery! Their rice and beans is to die for and their carnitas tacos and pollo tostadas were beyond me.
I came here to pickup food last week while visiting Leander, TX and I truly wish I was able to go back for a second round. Their tres leches cake was soooo delicious it melted in your mouth.
I can't wait to come back when I visit Austin!

People are friendly and customers have a nice time on a late Sunday afternoon. Food is good but a bit over priced, considering; Tacos are small and we ordered a little and charged a lot. But overall ok. Also it can be cleaned up a little, I understand they are very busy but they need to keep someome on top of cleaning up even when busy.. And not to be rude but they need more staff speaking English.. Still a nice place... Parking lot: becarful for traffic and cars just popping out, also pot holes..

Lots of baked desserts to choose from though they are more on the bready side rather than of the glazed, creamy and fruity variety you would see in Asian dessert stores. But it seems that's the spectrum of traditional Mexican desserts. Large, thick and bready with some usual toppings. There were a few cream-filled pastries and savory pastries to include kolaches.
I collected an assortment of pastries ranging from slices of cakes, short bread cookies, coconut cookies and a warmed puff pastry filled with shredded chicken and potatoes. The taste of them were good, but nothing spectacular... more

Easily my favorite Mexican bakery in Austin. I'm often shocked at how beautiful their stuff looks. The bakers show a bit of artistry that I'd expect would come from a Whole Foods or something.
But these certainly aren't WF prices. Standard grab-a-tray-and-tongs self service. I have a hard time not buying too much, but then again you won't spend a lot. A tray full of treats always seems to only run me 4-5 bucks.
Don't ignore the bolillos. These little sandwich rolls are crispy on the outside yet nice and chewy on the inside, putting the best French bread to shame. Now

Fairly small restaurant with an attached bakery that's about the same size. Came here during lunch time on a Thursday and didn't find it to be too busy.
This place is a great bang for your buck and has a wide variety of options. I stuck with something more traditional (no pun intended), but there's plenty of creative menu items that would warrant return visits.
I went for the submarino to try a couple of different meat options and had a side of rice and beans. The portion size was pretty big and it all tasted good, but it was a little difficult to distinguish between each of

I hate to do this because this is genuinely one of my favorite places to bring friends and family, but I came here for dessert and I am SOOOOO DISAPPOINTED. I ordered the Chocolate Cup (filled with "chocolate mousse" and topped with fruit and it could not have been worse. Well, maybe it could have been but I'm still so frustrated. This is one of my favorite places and I legitimately feel let down by the quality of this dessert.
The "chocolate mousse" tasted like cool whip with the essence of chocolate, the chocolate shell had no flavor at all, and the fruit was MOLDY
