Breakfast Tacos
Austin invented the breakfast taco obsession. Mellizoz, Top Taco, and local favorites serve eggs, chorizo, bacon, potato, migas, and bean & cheese wrapped in fresh tortillas with legendary salsas. Perfect for morning meetings, brunch events, or any time—because in Austin, breakfast tacos are always appropriate.
Street Tacos
El Xolo Tacos, Pinches Tacos, and Takavron serve authentic street-style tacos with al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, and barbacoa. Fresh tortillas are the foundation—El Xolo says it all comes down to the tortilla. Topped with cilantro, onion, and house-made salsas.
Birria Tacos & Quesabirria
Pepe's Tacos—known as Austin's 'Birria King'—and other vendors have made birria a must-have at Austin events. Slow-braised beef, crispy cheese-crusted tortillas, rich consommé for dipping. It's the taco trend that became a staple.

Plan around Central Texas weather for the best experience
Hot weather means outdoor evening events are popular. Breakfast taco service for early morning corporate events avoids the heat. Consider shaded venues or indoor-adjacent service.
UT football Saturdays and ACL Festival weekends (October) create peak demand. Book 6-8 weeks ahead for fall weekends. Perfect weather for outdoor taco service.
Holiday party season in December fills calendars quickly. Austin's mild winters allow year-round outdoor service. Corporate events slow in January, creating better availability.
SXSW (March) is the busiest time—trucks book months ahead. April-May offer ideal weather and strong availability. Cinco de Mayo drives demand for the first week of May.

Common Questions About Taco Truck Catering in Austin
What you need to know before booking.
What's included with Austin taco truck catering?
Most Austin taco trucks include proteins (2-4 options), fresh tortillas, toppings (cilantro, onion, lime, salsas), and often sides. Breakfast taco packages include eggs plus proteins like chorizo, bacon, and potato. We'll confirm exactly what's included when you request quotes.
What's the typical cost to book a taco truck in Austin?
Most Austin taco trucks charge $12-18 per person, with minimums ranging from $500 to $1,500. Mellizoz requires a $1,200 minimum for truck onsite catering. Breakfast tacos often run slightly less. We'll provide quotes from multiple trucks.
How far ahead should I book for an Austin event?
Book 2-4 weeks out for smaller events, 4-8 weeks for large gatherings. During SXSW (March) and ACL (October), trucks book up months in advance—plan 8-12 weeks ahead. Peak wedding season (spring/fall) also requires extra lead time.
Can I book breakfast tacos for a morning event?
Absolutely—this is Austin! Breakfast taco catering is hugely popular. Trucks serve classics like migas, egg & chorizo, bacon & potato, and more with fresh tortillas and house-made salsas. Perfect for morning meetings or brunch events.
Can taco trucks accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. Austin trucks offer vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free. The city's health-conscious culture means many trucks have plant-based proteins. Let us know your needs when requesting quotes.
What Austin neighborhoods and suburbs do taco trucks serve?
Austin taco trucks serve the entire metro area including downtown, South Congress, East Austin, North Austin, and the Domain. Suburban coverage extends to Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander, and San Marcos. Many trucks travel to Hill Country wedding venues in Dripping Springs and Wimberley. We'll confirm service area and any travel fees when you request quotes.
Can taco trucks serve indoors at Austin corporate offices?
Many Austin taco trucks offer indoor catering setups for corporate lobbies, break rooms, and office atriums. Some vendors provide taco bar stations that can be set up inside without the full truck. For traditional truck service, outdoor parking areas or loading docks work best. Let us know your space constraints and we'll find the right solution.
How do taco trucks handle large Austin events with 500+ guests?
For large corporate events, festivals, or weddings, Austin taco trucks scale efficiently. Options include multiple truck coordination, pre-made taco stations for faster service, or family-style buffet setups. Mellizoz and other experienced caterers regularly handle events of 500+ guests. We'll help plan menu selection, timing, and staffing for smooth service at scale.
What's the typical lead time for booking taco trucks during UT football weekends?
UT home games create high demand for Austin food trucks. Book 4-6 weeks ahead for Longhorns game day events. For Texas-OU weekend and other major matchups, 6-8 weeks is recommended. Tailgate catering fills up quickly, so the earlier you reach out, the better your options.
Do Austin taco trucks offer late-night service for weddings and events?
Yes, late-night taco service is an Austin wedding tradition. Many trucks offer service until midnight or later for wedding receptions, after-parties, and corporate events. Breakfast taco trucks can also provide early-morning service starting at 6 AM. Discuss your timeline when booking to ensure truck availability for your desired service hours.
