Perched on a quiet corner in far East Austin, this little-known restaurant opens at 7am and closes by 1:30 in afternoon, content to serve low-cost breakfast and lunch plates to a handful of working-class locals. The one- and two-dollar tacos should be reason enough for Mexican food fans to hike out here, though the underwhelming signage may lead you to pass by altogether. To experience breakfast tacos at their most basic and most delicious, keep your eyes open for La Cocinita.
RECS: Start with migas and beans-and-eggs tacos (which will total less than $3) and order more from there, if need be.
