In a city as taco-obsessed as Austin, new taco vendors must find a way to stand out from the pack if they want to survive.
Kesos Taco House opened on South Congress Avenue last February and has been serving original recipes named after local landmarks and events ever since, co-owner Oscar Aldama said.
"We wanted a unique taste, a good taste," he said. "When you taste carnitas, its going to taste like carnitas, but not like [everyone else's carnitas]. It's different."
Most of its signature tacos are served with Kesos house sauce.
Kesos most popular tacos are the Keep It Weird, the Rot Rallie and the SOCO, Aldama said.
"A lot of our customers are new customers—we get new ones every day," he said. "We get a lot of business people in here."
Kesos has applied for a beer and wine license, which Aldama said he hopes to receive this spring.
The owners also plan to open a second location downtown at Nueces Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in May or June, he said.
"Our main focus is the new place," he said. "After that we are going to look into a food trailer. In this city trailers are so popular; it becomes a necessity to have one, to be mobile [and] for special events."
