Very nice gentlemen serving us up this middle eastern lunch. We all got variations of the "protein over rice" plates, and it cost about $12 for each. Plates came with tri-colored rice (a nice touch), salad, and meat. Then over the top they squirt on a somewhat excessive amount of white sauce (assuming tahini garlic) and then a layer of spicy red sauce if you so desire. The taste was decent, but it was quite heavy. Nobody came close to finishing their plates, and it did not leave any of us with a great feeling in the belly haha. If I were to come here again, I would definitely ask for the sauces on the side! With that said, the truck is in a hopping location, and the small outdoor seating section was nice. 5/10 overall! read more

My favorite food truck in wampus! I 1000% recommend you try it! Everything is delicious, especially the gyro plate. Even the side salad and rice are bomb. Also MUST TRY the spicy cheese fries.. my guilty pleasure meal. #obsessed read more

Delicious food and drink. Wonderful service. Enjoyed music and atmosphere. Would come back for sure.

The Gyro over Rice was incredible. Never had one like it before. We think we were given the beef over rice by mistake? It had small pieces of meat that had a very familiar South Asian taste...seasoned like a very specific beef dish where the meat is cooked until dried out but moist at the same time. The sauce was very different from the usual over rice places. It had some yellow and white sauce but no red (hot) sauce. So Gyro or beef, whichever one it was, it was delicious! We will order 1 gyro and 1 beef next time to see what the difference is! The Zinger over Rice was good too. It had big pieces of crusted chicken. It needed more sauce though as it became quite dry towards the end. This sauce also felt different than the one on the other dish. It was some light yellow sauce i have not seen before. Really interesting flavors for both! We ordered via GrubHub so prices are inflated at 12.99 per dish. $26 dollars is a bit much for the portions that were given. The food was not packed to the fullest, we had no leftovers and still were kinda hungry. At other over rice places, we usually have 20% leftover at around the same price. Per the website, actual prices are $10.99 per dish which is reasonably better but still should be cheaper considering the portions. read more

The owner is really sweet!! The food is also really good and it's a great place to eat at during the night.

The food was fresh, tasty and the portions are huge. This is an amazing place if you want to try great Mediterranean food. Thank you for all the great food and amazing service read more

I've always wanted to go to this food truck in West Campus with its fun flashing lights at night. I had the gyro over rice and really enjoyed it. They gave a good amount of sauce, and it wasn't like other similar places I've tried where you need lots of sauce to balance out the dryness of the food. The wait time was very short. They have a couple of covered benches and tables, although it's right next to a busy sidewalk and street. I paid $13 for my rice plate, which seems pricey for a food truck, but I at least had a tiny bit of food left over. read more

Alpetra Plus - 1. Gyro Over Rice Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

When looking for a Mediterranean lunch, ALPETRA was highly recommended. This food truck is walking distance to parking and even has its own covered outdoor benches. I stopped by to try a gyro wrap and was very happy with the noms. This is definitely the most authentic tasting gyro I've had in a while. The wait was not long. I definitely plan to go back and try their other menu options. read more

Alpetra Plus - Gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was my favorite place to get gyros from in West Campus. The meat and vegetables were always flavorful and juicy.

loved the food! went her on a whim because it's right in west campus, and happened to be one of the few close late night spots and ended up liking the food! it was reasonably priced and delicious. I will definitely be back and I do recommend! A plus is the diverse menu! They have a little of everything to appeal to all taste and most dietary needs! It's definitely worth checking out :) read more

The family that owns this place is so nice, and the food here is awesome! Definitely try the gyro, the shawarma, or the rice dishes. The ingredients are always fresh and filling - well worth a late night study break any day of the week. The atmosphere when eating at the tables is one of a kind, and it's actually pretty cozy at night. I was bummed when Kismet Cafe moved north of campus, but this food truck is a blessing to students to have opened at the same corner! read more

Amazing food. Stopped by after a show at the Hole in the Wall. Owner is so nice. Outdoor space to eat as well. read more

Alpetra Plus - 1. Gyro Over Rice Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

The best Mediterranean food in Austin downtown. Especially the sauce on the side, our go to place when in downtown

I love this place! Ordered the Falafel sub, and it was a really good size for being $8. It didn't actually come in a sub, it was a wrap, which to me was better. And it tasted amazing - the falafels were fried so they're nice and crispy on the outside and were very flavorful. Inside was salad, tomatoes, purple onions, and some sauce. I got the "spicy" level but it wasn't spicy at all. I asked for extra sauce after I took this picture because I think it needed a bit more, and the sauce was delicious!! The owners were really nice too - not only for giving me an extra little side of sauce, but my friend had ordered the fresh peach smoothie, and one of the owners also gave me a little sample of it. By the way, this was soooo good and refreshing! Definitely recommend the smoothie. It was $7 for a 12oz cup read more

Alpetra Plus - 5. Falafel Sub - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Amazing! They have a variety of things here! they have the rice bowls, wraps, smoothies, and a whole bunch of random items. The owners are a lovely couple who were super friendly. Food was very fresh and fulfilling. I got super full off of this meal in a way that didn't make me feel bloated. I definitely will be going back again cause it was super good. For $9 it was a lot of food because it also came with a drink. Good price and good time quality! read more

Alpetra Plus - 1. Greek Gyro Wrap Combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Put an an online order, accepted my order, went to pick it up, place was closed. I want my money back

As a lover of Mediterranean food, I've noticed a lot of restaurants transitioning from making their food from scratch with quality ingredients to using premade/ frozen food. Alpetra is a small food truck that isn't very pleasing to the eye but their food is nothing short of fantastic! I ordered the #1) Gyro meat on rice. It comes with basmati rice and a side salad, and I added a side of cauliflower to the plate. Beautiful presentation, wonderful flavors, and you can tell it was made with love! Will be back. read more

Alpetra Plus - I couldn't wait to dig in before taking this picture - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

The chicken shawarma wrap is my death row meal. I crave this place weekly. As a UT student, it's so convenient to grab on the way home. The man who works there is so nice and funny, and the woman is always very friendly and polite. I have had nothing but amazing experiences here. Definitely one of my favorite places of all time. read more

THIRD UPDATE: it's open again!!! and taste just as good as ever. My friend and I went back to try it as soon as we heard. The plates changed to a rectangule instead of the round plates. And now they add black olives to their salads (nice addition!). We get the beef over rice plate and the rice is just seasoned perfectly (we joke abt how we can eat that alone) and the sauce is just so great. This over halal bros any day. SECOND UPDATE: THE best mediterranean food near campus. sadly it breaks my heart that covid caused it to close. my friends and i miss it very dearly!! i hope the owner and their family is doing read more

You'll hear this food truck before you see it, but you definitely won't miss it. Recently opened, Alpetra is the food truck version of a personal favorite, Halal Bros, so I had to try it. I ordered a chicken over rice ($8) and was pleased to have a hot dish served in under 5 minutes. At first glance, the dish was very similar to Halal Bros: Meat on top of rice with an assortment of veggies on the side. However, the taste is quite distinct, with the sauce having almost a smoky cheesy taste to it. Pretty good actually. The portion size is excellent for the price. However, I do wish it contained more meat. Overall, a nice convenient food truck in West Campus for hungry students. read more

The best halal cart around campus! They give huge portions sizes that are really filling and taste good. All of the ingredients taste super fresh. They also have many vegetarian options! read more

This place is delicious!! You get a cultural feel here. Not only is the cook from Jordan herself, but she also wears a hijab and has her son with her while working (family ties are strong). It's hospitable and there's music to enjoy. I will definitely be coming back here. For a second, I felt like like I was in the Middle East. Beautiful. read more

This place is very flashy, but the flavor matches its flair. I got the gyro over rice, and it tastes really good! The meat was cooked well. The rice was cooked well, and the lettuce was about average. The portions were a decent size for the price. If you eat a lot, one order will probably satisfy you. read more

This place is a hidden gem in west campus. On my first trip I got a burger and fries, which were delicious. I swear they have the same exact fries as McDonalds. When I went back on a separate occasion to order the burger again, the owner offered me to try a sample rice and sauce, and let me tell you it was the most flavorful rice I have ever had. Going back today to get some kafta over rice, really looking forward to it read more

One of my top places to eat in west campus. Usually not too crowded and they're always quick with the food. The food never misses.

Exceptional Customer Service! Savory Food! Fast and good portions! 10 out 10 would recommend!!!

Forgot to post this. Amazing food. Great owner. Let us try his new sauces and rice. So damn good. read more

Alpetra Plus - Amazing. - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Place accepted my order and I paid. Show up and it's fully closed. Says it's open 11am-10pm, but no one there. Also, phone number is inactive m. read more

Overall: Amazing service, spectacular food, great portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. This food truck is owned by a family and I feel like every time I go I feel welcomed. There is no other food truck with this level of service, not to mention the excellent food. There is always music playing and there are tables covered by a tarp, so it is easy to stay there and eat or take your food to go. I got the falafel with regular sauce and it was to die for. Many people like Halal Bros but I personally prefer ALPETRA. Their falafel has a bunch of flavor and doesn't feel too dry or too soft, unlike other falafel I have had from restaurants/food trucks. Also... their sauce is amazing!! Ask for extra!! Everyone please go out and hype up ALPETRA!! Cheaper than Halal Bros and better quality in my opinion! read more

One of the nicest and best halal food trucks around campus. Fast and kind service and not too expensive. The portion is alright, I don't think it's more than halal bros, but it is still good. I've come here so many times, def would come back more. Support small family owned businesses! read more

I would have to say that Alpetra has to be one of the best Halal restaurants in the city. The business is family owned and the owners treat their customers like family. Most importantly, the food is creative, tastes amazing, and affordable. Their food competes with the restaurants in West Campus. 5 out 5 !!!! read more

The owners are super friendly and the rice bowls are amazing! I eat here all the time

Really great Mediterranean food with halal and vegetarian options. The food is a really good price for how much you get. It was the best gyro over rice I've had in Austin.
