Austin's best breakfast taco — Veracruz's food trailers serve the migas taco (scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and pico de gallo in a fresh flour tortilla) that Austin food writers consistently name the single best bite in the city.
Why It Belongs on the List
Veracruz All Natural started as a single food trailer in 2006 and has grown to multiple locations while maintaining the quality that made it famous — fresh-pressed flour tortillas, scrambled eggs with tortilla chips, and salsa verde that is objectively excellent. The migas taco is the consensus best breakfast taco in Austin, which is the consensus best city for breakfast tacos in America. Multiple locations make this accessible from anywhere in the city. The East César Chávez trailer is the original; arrive before 10am or expect a wait. Cash preferred at the trailers; cards accepted at the brick-and-mortar locations.
What Stands Out
- Consensus best breakfast taco in Austin — the migas taco is the specific order
- Fresh-pressed flour tortillas — made to order
- Austin's breakfast taco culture at its origin
- Multiple locations — accessible from anywhere in the city
- Arrive before 10am at the trailer for no wait
