Real Comida, Made with Familia Love
Fresh ingredients, authentic recipes, and some of the best Tex‑Mex in greater Austin — just how abuela would want it.
Our Story
A Little Place with a Big Reputation
Tucked along Ranch Rd 620 in Lakeway, La Gordibuena Taqueria Restaurant has become a neighborhood favorite for real, honest Mexican and Tex‑Mex cooking. As one regular put it, this is "consistently some of the BEST food in town" — large portions, fresh ingredients, and authentic family recipes passed down and cooked with care every single day.
We keep things simple: hearty plates, bold salsas, and a kitchen that treats every taco, quesabirria, and enchilada like it's going out to family. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or settling in with a margarita on our shaded, dog‑friendly patio, our goal is the same — make you feel like part of the family from the first bite.
From our famous shrimp tacos to comforting plates of enchiladas and sizzling fajitas, everything is made fresh, served generously, and priced fair. Come hungry — leave happy.

What Our Guests Say
"There's 0 lack of Tex-Mex and comida real Mexican cuisine in greater Austin… but this is consistently some of the BEST food in town. Large portions, fresh ingredients, authentic family recipes. Great drinks, dog-friendly shaded outside seating."
— Glen J.
"I love swing by this little Mexican place. The food is so good. I'm obsessed with their shrimp tacos — the most flavorful, juicy shrimp with cabbage and sauce. Great Mexican food."
— Casey
"It's a great place for lunch, considering the Mexican restaurants around Austin are more Central American! This one is much more Tex-Mex and really good! Always had a good meal there!"
— Luis D.
"We were very impressed — the interior was cozy, the food was excellent. I had the beef quesabirria tacos and my companion had the enchiladas. Both dishes had the fantastic flavor that comes from a family-owned restaurant. Service was prompt and courteous. I plan on returning."
— Robert H.
