" Super friendly service, but I can't get over the food quality. On my last visit, the tacos were dry and lacking flavor, which was quite disappointing. I had such high hopes, given the positive reviews. There’s potential here, but they need to pay more attention to cooking. " (*Curated Review*)

" Distinctly fresh and delicious – a true representation of authentic Mexican food! From the breakfast tacos to the tortas, everything is crafted with care. The service feels personal, and you can tell that they value customer satisfaction. I can confidently say that this is one of the best taco places in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the elote at Tacontento. It was rich in flavor and quite filling! However, the quesabirria was a letdown; there was barely any meat in them. The atmosphere was casual and inviting, but food consistency is certainly an area for improvement. Overall experience was mixed but I’d try again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria Tacontento is truly a treasure in South Austin! The combination of friendly service and authentically delicious food makes it a must-visit. The flavors are complex and everything is made fresh-to-order. You can't go wrong here, everything is just right! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't very impressed during my visit. I expected a lot based on the hype but left feeling underwhelmed. The tacos were too salty, and the tortillas felt dry. I liked that they had some unique drink options, but they could improve their food consistency. I might give it another shot in the future but I’m cautious. " (*Curated Review*)

" Over the years, this place has sadly declined. My last visit was disappointing. I ordered the chicken fajita tacos and the chicken tasted old. The staff was still nice and attentive, but the quality of food has dropped significantly. It’s a shame as I used to love this spot. Hope they can improve soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I ordered a variety of tacos and tortas, and everything we tried was bursting with flavor! The freshness of the ingredients stands out, and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. The only drawback is that it's a tad small, but once you're inside, the atmosphere is cozy! Can't recommend this spot enough. " (*Curated Review*)
