Grisly death and survival don’t usually mix, but then there’s Filibertos. Located on a quiet residential street in south Austin, this restaurant is known for its alarming take on traditional Mexican cuisine.
It started out as a cart with a carousel spinning around it, and now it has two brick-and-mortar locations that serve up “skulls” — taco shells stuffed to the brim with cheese and other delicious ingredients — plus dishes such as the devil’s chili.
Don’t let the fun menu fool you — Filibertos’ food can be just as gruesome. Filibertos is the brainchild of two young entrepreneurs, Scott and Angie Lashley. Originally from Austin, the couple started their first business as a food cart selling tacos and burritos on the University of Texas campus.
They later decided to expand their operation with the addition of a second location in the East Austin neighborhood where they serve burgers and milkshakes.
Though Filibertos’ quirky menu has not been adopted entirely by the entire Austin area, the restaurant is still a hit on its two bustling sites. As for their current readers, here are some of the top comments:
“Yum! My kids are obsessed with the cheeseburger and we recently visited; they didn’t hesitate to order one and loved it! The chili is pretty good too.”

Filibertos History
The idea for Filiberto’s Mexican Food was conceived in 1986 by four Tenorio brothers: Flavio, Aurelio, Francisco and Filiberto. The brothers grew up in a farming family near El Centro, Mexico.
The children were the youngest of eight siblings; with traditional Mexican values passed down from their parents before they crossed the border into Southern California to escape poverty and find work to support their family.
The brothers were united in the U.S. by a desire to make money to support their families and to help improve the lot for those less fortunate than themselves.
They moved from El Centro to Phoenix in 1972 and it was there that they found work as truck drivers for their brother-in-law, who operated a trucking company.
The brothers gradually formed Filiberto’s Mexican Food and developed a reputation for delivering quality service, which was valued by everyone who knew them.
The company rapidly evolved, starting as a family business with the brothers working alone in a small space near the original Filiberto’s Mexican Food truck.
Their reputation grew as they provided superior service to their loyal customers. As their customer base expanded, they were able to build a full-service restaurant and develop an extensive delivery service through franchising operations.
