Asado's Taqueria
The burrito is built to the San Francisco Mission template, which means the rice is left out on purpose.1
Why go
This is a food trailer parked at a gas station at 45th and Burnet, sharing the forecourt with a few others, and it works a format almost nobody else in Austin bothers with.1 Nicolai McCrary wrote it up for The Infatuation in September 2023: steak, carnitas or pollo, pinto beans and pico, and the rice a Mission burrito usually carries taken out. Going super adds guacamole, sour cream and Monterey Jack for a few dollars. The page is unrated, which is the outlet's own rule for spots it wants to re-visit before it puts a number on them, so what you have here is a byline and a description with no rating attached.
Order this / avoid
- Order: a burrito, super, with carnitas. The upgrade is the guacamole, sour cream and Monterey Jack, and it is the only decision the menu asks you to make.1
- Avoid: turning up expecting the rice-packed build. This kitchen leaves it out by design.1
What locals & experts say
- The Infatuation Austin, Nicolai McCrary, 1 September 2023, unrated:
Parked at a gas station at 45th and Burnet, along with a few other food trailers, Asado's specializes in burritos and tacos inspired by San Francisco's Mission District (minus the typical inclusion of rice).
McCrary is The Infatuation's Austin reviewer and the outlet is owned by JPMorgan Chase.1 - No score exists, and that is the outlet's stated policy on spots it wants to eat at again, so read the absence of a number as a rating still to come.1
- I haven't found anyone else who has written about this trailer.
Good to know
- Where it actually is: 1309 W 45th Street, 78756, in Rosedale, on the gas station forecourt at 45th and Burnet.1
- Hygiene: no public inspection score exists for this vendor. Austin Public Health's published dataset covers fixed food establishments and mobile vendors sit outside it by construction, so read the silence as missing information.2
- Do not borrow the forecourt's score: Austin Public Health does hold 1309 W 45th St, under Rosedale Market, at 95 in November 2025. That is the gas station's own store permit and it says nothing about the trailer.2
- Check before you drive: the only bylined page is from September 2023, and I haven't confirmed the trailer is still on that forecourt.
Verdict
could-visit — A food trailer at a gas station at 45th and Burnet in Rosedale, working the San Francisco Mission burrito template in a city that does not build burritos that way. Steak, carnitas or pollo go over pinto beans and pico, the rice is left out on purpose, and going super adds guacamole, sour cream and Monterey Jack for a few dollars. Nicolai McCrary wrote it up for The Infatuation in September 2023 and left it unrated under the outlet's rule about re-visiting before it assigns a number, so there is a byline here and no verdict. The city publishes no inspection score, which is what the dataset does with every trailer in Austin. Worth a stop if the corner is on your route, and check the pitch is still occupied before you drive to it.
