You Have to Try These Award-Winning Austin Tacos

Add this Austin taco truck to the list of places I need to try. At this point, I’m losing track of all the awesome places I have yet to visit. It’s impossible to keep up with the great eateries we have here in the Lone Star State. It’s a great problem to have, huh?

If you know anything about me, you know I love writing about food. Mostly because I’m always thinking with my belly, but also because I love spreading the word about great places to get a bite to eat.

Yelp’s Top 100 Taco Spots of 2025

Yelp recently released its list of the Top 100 Taco Spots of 2025, so of course, I had to jump in and see which Texas joint received the most love from Yelpers. Say what you want about Yelp, but I’ve always found their users’ advice to be consistent.

When it comes to the best tacos in Texas here in 2025, Yelp gave the crown to Paprika ATX, a food truck based out of Austin (hence the ATX). Yelpers say it’s their tortillas that set Paprika apart from the rest.

The tacos are served on thick, nixtamalized corn tortillas from local tortilleria El Milagro. Nixtamalization is a process that softens the tortilla and gives it a unique flavor. Many fans recommend adding griddled mozzarella cheese to the tortilla to make it a Quesitaco.

Where to Find Paprika ATX

You can find the food truck parked at 6539 N Lamar, Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm, and at Long Play Lounge on Fridays from 6:00 pm until they run out of food. There are also plans to open a taqueria in the future.
