Taqueria el Picante is a little gem in Austin! 🌮 I stopped by for a quick lunch, and their breakfast tacos were out of this world. I tried the chorizo and egg - so flavorful and perfectly wrapped. The casual atmosphere made it great for a solo meal, and I loved how kid-friendly it felt, with plenty of options for the little ones.

Their quick service means I can easily grab a bite on busy days. Plus, the wheelchair-accessible parking is a nice touch! I can’t wait to return for dinner... 😋
