OneTaco Taqueria @ Research Blvd
The chain runs a giant trompo and a station making fresh tortillas at nearly all of its eight Austin rooms, and the tacos are built on a double layer of small corn tortillas.1
Why go
This is the Research Blvd branch, and the honest position is that no critic has eaten here. The Infatuation's OneTaco review covers the Burnet Rd room in Brentwood, rates it 7.5, and puts the brand 11th of twelve in its al pastor ranking at that same address.12 What transfers is the production: the trompo and the tortilla station are described as chain-wide, with the reviewer's own hedge that it is nearly all locations rather than all of them.
Order this / avoid
- Al pastor or carne asada, which are the two the review commits to:
The meat is flavorful, if a little dry at times, and the double layer of tiny corn tortillas holds up well.
1 - Avoid: planning a trip around it. McCrary's framing is the right one, that
these won't be the best tacos you've ever eaten.

What locals & experts say
- Nicolai McCrary, The Infatuation, on the Burnet Rd branch, rating 7.5: the food is solid,
most notably the carne asada and al pastor street tacos.
The 7.5 belongs to that room, not this one.1 - The Infatuation's al pastor ranking, January 2026, places OneTaco 11th of twelve, listed at the Burnet address.2
Good to know
- Walk-in counter, with pickup and delivery through the venue's own site. No per-branch hours are published anywhere.3
- The address is a strip unit. Austin Public Health lists it as 12200 Research Blvd SB, Unit 400, 78759, next door to a Dunkin at Unit 100.4
- Hygiene: no finding. Austin Public Health scored the kitchen 92 on 2 February 2026, 86 in July 2025, 86 in March 2025, 92 in September 2024 and 87 in November 2023 (registered as One Taco). Nothing below the 70 threshold. The city writes the name as two words and lists seven separate One Taco locations, so look this one up by its address.4
Verdict
listed — A Research Blvd branch of an eight-location Austin taqueria that The Infatuation says runs a trompo and a fresh-tortilla station at nearly all of its rooms. The one review in existence covers the Burnet Rd branch, rates it 7.5, and is honest that the meat can run dry. Useful when you are already up here; not a destination, and the entry does not pretend the reviewed room is this one.
