This place is now at South 1st & Elizabeth/Monroe St. I tried it for the first time tonight and the shawarma plate was outstanding, as was the side of Moroccan olives! The owner was the best! I will def go back. The only drawback is the asshole landlord that wants to charge $11/hour to park to eat at their tenant's food truck, whom they are also charging rent. I was getting mine to go! Next time, I'm not paying parking; the truck owner was very apologetic. It's amazing how people fail to connect that without a successful truck to attract people, they get no rent or even a minimal parking fee. Anyway, Austin Med Break was amazing. read more

Ok....I gotta give this place props. This place is bomb! I love me some Mediterranean food and this place does not disappoint. Went here for a lunch date grab and go with the hubs. We did have to wait a bit but it's ok... when you hear the sounds of the metal hitting the grill, it's a comforting sound that your meal is being freshly cooked. The portion! Holy moly guys, when I got home my to go container was filled. Like the food was piled up. I love this because so many places try to jip you on portion size. Not only that but the food! The food was chef's kiss. So flavorful, so refreshing with the veg. My mouth is watering while writing this. This place is unassuming but a must try! read more

This food truck truly deserves the stellar rating. I picked up a falafel on rice on this rainy day. It was absolutely delicious. The quantity was quite generous. Every single ingredient was so fresh - even the side salad. Nothing tasted or looked pre-prepared. And the sauces - chef's kiss. They are really tasty. Prices are super reasonable too - $13.50 for my plate. He could certainly be charging more given inflation and the high quality. I also love that he's got a nice setup to sit and enjoy the food fresh at the picnic tables if you have the luxury of time. read more

TASTY FOOD ALERT I recently moved to the eastside area after living in the Hyde Park neighborhood for years. Was looking for a new Halal spot as a substitute for my Halal Bros addiction. I think i have found the place! Firstly, the gentleman on the truck is very welcoming and friendly! On to the food: AMAZING! Very flavorful and authentic tasting. The portions are also out of this world! I ordered the combo over rice and chicken shawarma over rice, each plate was easily enough for like 3 people; great especially in this economy lol. The cherry top was that it was that my 2 plates plus 2 pita breads were only about $32!!!!! I will definitely be back again! read more

I'll tell you this, my man behind the window puts in the work! Day in and day out this guy is back there cooking for Kings. Hot pita, gyro, falafel, you name it. Expectations will be exceeded read more

We got a mountain of food and every single thing was fresh and mind-blowingly delicious! All delivered with phenomenal service!

Great Moroccan spices !!! Food is freshly prepared. His hands prepare the food as though it were for his family. This food cart lights up S Congress and Riverside. There's plenty of space to sit and enjoy dinner. The aroma of the Moroccan spices wake up all your senses, need I say more??? Highly recommend this food cart. L read more

The food here is the best Mediterranean in town with hummus & pita that I could eat every single day. Now the owner is the so kind that alone makes me want to go back! I highly recommend this spot!! read more

This food truck experience was absolutely phenomenal. Absolutely. Phenomenal. We rolled up a little before close so they were out of a few items, but honestly, what we did get was so out of this world fantastic that we didn't even care. We had the chicken shawarma and gyro over rice, and it also came with a bit of salad and then drenched in garlic sauce and hot sauce. The gyro was so flavorful and tender, but the chicken shawarma really really blew me away. I adore chicken shawarma and get it probably once every other week, and this is some of the best I've ever had. It was so flavorful and not at all dry, and in combination with the bold garlic sauce and super tasty rice, it was a home run. The hot sauce was also so delicious. It had so much flavor to it and really added to the dish rather than being spicy just for spicy's sake. We were starving and both inhaled our fully-packed takeout boxes. We were way too full afterwards but it was 100% worth it and I would absolutely do it again. And as an added bonus, the exceedingly kind man gave us a free cheesecake "for the road." Love me a good road cheesecake. read more

AustinMed Break has kind of weird hours, but a great stop at the end of the night. The sriracha fries were so good and I highly recommend. The falafel wrap was delicious too, but it tasted like there was some kind of dairy based sauce when it was labeled vegan. A few of the items labeled vegan said they had cheese, in the case that that is a dietary restriction you may want to confirm that it's vegan, not vegetarian, before ordering. The one man show was efficient, nonetheless, and he was very friendly too. read more

Combo schawarma plate was slammin'! A lot of food - had to take half home. Friendly chef who makes his falafel from scratch - soaking the chick peas, then adding parsley, cilantro, etc. Can't wait to try that next time! read more

They aren't open til afternoon but the man who runs this food truck was so nice and he prepares his food with so much care. There's a plethora of vegetarian and vegan options! We did the vegan falafel wrap and also the sriracha fries. So food! Took about 15 min and prices were great! Love the location too since it's just up from SoCo! read more

One million percent would recommend this place to a friend. It is the best Gryo Shwarma I've ever had in austin. The owner/chef is a lovely man and makes his food with love! Will definitely be coming back. read more

Easily one of the best meals I've had in Austin! It's a food truck on the corner of a busy intersection area in the outskirts of downtown Austin but worth the travel! There's a good coffee spot right across the street. There are also tables to sit with shade and the owner of the truck is super friendly! The food does take some time but it's because he makes it fresh. Back in NYC, we have some amazing halal food trucks but this one is a true gem in Austin. I really hope he's still here the next time I visit! read more

AustinMed Break - Chicken Combo Kebab over Rice Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Easily one of my favorite Mediterranean food trucks in Austin! Whether it is a mid day lunch or late night outing, this place is open and consistently delicious! It's located behind superstition in the corner of a parking lot off south Congress. The owner is so sweet and makes everything, but the cheesecake (what he told me) from scratch. The portions are huge and you can definitely taste the love he puts into it! I've been slowly trying different items on the menu and have not been disappointed. I've brought many friends and family here to try and everyone has loved it! My favorite is the combo shawarma over rice! You get a To-go box filled with lamb and chicken shawarma over rice topped with tahini and hot sauce, and a salad! The gyro wraps are massive and generously filled with with a great meat to veggie ratio. Definitely will be back. read more

Best food truck!! We came across this food truck while walking back from S Congress. We went up and checked out the menu and asked the guy a couple questions about allergies. He was so nice and so accommodating that we decided to give it a try. The food was all made fresh and SO delicious! We got the Kofta tajine, roasted cauliflower, and zaalouk. Everything was served to us at the cute picnic tables outside. It was all delicious. He also made us a freshing Moroccan tea and gave us free cookies to welcome us to Austin. We would go back for the service alone! But the food is exceptional as well. read more

AustinMed Break - Kofta Tajine Plate Roasted Cauliflower Zaalouk - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place has amazing food! We've gotten the gyro over rice and chicken kebab over rice. The meat is so tender and flavorful. Underneath is a bed of half rice and half super fresh Mediterranean salad. So so good. The containers are full to the top! We've come here twice in 2 weeks. It's now my go-to place to eat when spending the evening in or near downtown Austin. LOVE it! read more

Food is amazing, gentleman running the truck handled everything to perfection ! from food to service this is a great spot!

The owner is so kind and thoughtful! The gyros over rice was delicious, and the kofta over rice was also good. We also had the hummus and the roasted eggplant/tomato side with pita which was great while we waited for the mains. We wanted to order the tagline but he gave a heads up that it would take some time, but we'd totally come back to get that and gyros another time (maybe by calling in the order before we get there) read more

Meticulously prepared variety of dishes and sandwiches by Moroccan chef-owner Abdu. All served with a gracious smile. Must try the meatballs with tomato sauce and eggs. Delicious and generous. read more

Their food and hospitality is always great! (I normally get lamb over rice and the loaded fries) I would always recommend! If you're in a hurry to eat, there are benches right in front of the truck. read more

AustinMed Break - Gyro over Rice Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

In my frustrated attempts to find the ultimate halal food truck that could at least equal the ones I had in NY when I lived there, I perchanced this humble unassuming halal food truck owned by Abdul, right in the heart of downtown Austin. OMG!!! I think I finally found what I can proudly call probably the best halal food truck in TX while taking a quick break from driving one extremely cold night. I ordered my favorite lamb/beef gyro that I usually always had in NY, in order to compare my experiences. I asked Abdul to put lots of white sauce and allowed him to spice it up just a little bit by adding hot sauce. I asked for the meal to be over salad instead of rice. The taste experience was heavenly! I finally have a halal truck to visit in Austin! Icing on the cake was a unique pomegranate drink I have probably found only from this food truck. Kudos and blessings to Abdul for an amazing gyro over salad experience. What a great Christmas gift to myself! read more

On the corner of South Congress & Riverside this little red food truck tastes as if it is a hop skip and a jump from the Mediterranean Sea. Absolutely fantastic quality. I got the beef swarma and a side of Humas - One suggestion is if you like spicy ask for extra garlic and hot sauce. read more

The food was amazing. After I made my order, the owner and I started talking. He told me this would be the best gyro I ever had. I told him it was bold words since I have had many around the world. I will admit that he was right. I also ordered the hummus, which he was out of. He recommended the Zaalouk, which was amazing. As I was I leaving, he gave me a container with "welcome to Texas " written on it. Inside was an amazing cheesecake read more

There was a period where I ordered from here every day for a week. Best gyro in Austin!!!

I'm gonna be bold and say this may be top 3 best restaurants in Austin for it's price range. The 5 Star rating is honorably won. - The Tajine was excellent - truly excellent. Everything is completely handmade (with one exception the cheesecake which he says he buys from a bakery). However, even the baklava he makes by hand at his house in the morning.... And you can taste it - the nuance in flavor is there and it's clear there is immense care that went into it. - Abu is super kind and very receptive (asking how spicy I wanted it, whether I wanted some homemade hot sauce with my hummus, and small touches that just (as a service person) really went above and beyond. Food came quickly. (Even faster than some places that just warm things... and he had to make the kofta balls by hand...) - Never would have expected it across from a gas station but that just defines it as a true hidden gem. I will be back... probably a lot... read more

This place is sincerely the best med food. This is based off my imaginary rule that a good med food truck must have a good chicken shawarma plate. AustinMed knocks this mf out of the park. The owner is the sweetest man you'll ever meet. His portions are generous, cooked to order. If you give him a smile and it's not busy he'll chat it up with you and if you're the only one he'll keep you company if you want it. The food truck is right in the middle of a busy intersection but I think it adds to the overall atmosphere and makes the food better im not sure why but just go with it. Give this place a shot and I guarantee you'll come back. read more

I had to go back again. The Gyros Schwarma was genius again, but this time I added the roasted cauliflower, babaganoush and pita, and Moroccan cookie. First the roasted cauliflower, garlic, and Parmesan. One bite and I thought why haven't I tried cauliflower prepared this way before? A nutritious vegetable that tastes this good? I could have just gotten this and would have left happy. Next, babaganoush and pitta. Another vegetable I could eat all day. Finally the Moroccan cookie was soft almond dough, coconut, almond and droop of jelly. It melts in your mouth. To the owner and chef- thank you, read more

Really delicious food. Vegan options were plenty and so tasty. Three of us ordered something different and everyone enjoyed their choice. Such friendly service. Not much wait time. There are picnic tables to wait. We took a quick 5min walk down the quiet street. The food was ready when we returned. I'll definitely go back again and recommend to everyone. read more

AMAZING. First time there. We'll be back. You can taste the effort the chef put into it!

I just ordered from AustinMed Break for the first time like thirty minutes ago, and after taking the first two bites of my kofta plate all I have to say is holy fucking shit. The food here is all that. Can you believe their rice is delectable? It's sad that this took me so aback. When's the last time your to-go order packed palatable rice? Austin's food scene truly is horrible. read more

Wonderful service and massive portion sizes. This was exactly what I was hoping for out of this truck.

So good and the man was so nice! Def a good choice. We live in cedar park and made the drive just to try it

The food is absolutely delicious, such a great selection of Mediterranean options prepared to absolute perfection. Lots of meat options (chicken and beef kebabs, gyros, shawarma, etc.) but also a phenomenal veggie / vegan selection with dolmas, hummus, falafel and roasted cauliflower. The only thing better than the food is the service- the level of care and hospitality is akin to what you'd find at a 5 star restaurant. There is clearly so much pride taken into the food and service. Do yourself a favor and eat here either at the several covered picnic tables (with great people watching at the corner of Riverside and Congress) or take it to go. They will not disappoint. read more

When I tell you I want to kiss the man behind the counter. When I tell you I want to take him home with me and have him be my personal chef. I want this gyro shawarma every day of my life. This has got to be the best food I've ever put in my mouth, and I thank the universe for putting this place in front of me. If I could give it a 100/5, I would do it. The freshness, the care, the craftsmanship, the love put into it. I will be back! read more
