The locations of El Taquito are all brightly colored, clean, and totally accessible to non-Spanish speakers. The Round Rock one is swanky, even, with a full bar, live music, and a giant flatscreen TV. Quite the change from the little cart in the dodgy part of Riverside that we once frequented.

The menu has myriad offerings, but tacos are a big focus here. For under two bucks, the taco world is your proverbial oyster. Lately, we’ve found dryness to be a bit more a problem, but the flavors are still great. A carnitas taco is best, with light, sweetly roasted pork. Ask for a sliver of avocado for a divine little creaminess. A deshebrado taco with shredded beef and an al pastor (made without pineapple, although they can throw it in for free) are other good orders. Tortillas are homemade and delicate, and although taquitos are pequeñitos, they pack a flavorful punch. But the best order here is likely what the Latinos around you are eating, which is the daily special: on one visit, several skillets of juicy, sizzling carne asada with melting cheese and roasted jalapeños steamed up all the windows on a cold afternoon.

The salsa bar offers five various levels of heat, and you’ll want to try them all. Late risers, be warned: breakfast tacos are no más after 10:30am, even on weekends.
