Combo over rice (left), chicken shawarma over rice (right)
Sandy G.

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!

Chicken Shawarma over Rice Plate
Justie L.

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.

Sriracha Fries
Chloe F.

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.

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!

Chicken Combo Kebab over Rice Plate
Kelly H.

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!

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.

Incredible. Food is perfectly seasoned and so fresh. Chef was friendly and efficient! Really enjoyed everything.

Kofta Tajine Plate Roasted Cauliflower Zaalouk
Amanda M.

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.

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.

Abdul's halal food truck.
R C.

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!

And the toppings of Nutella, cinnamon, and strawberries adds dimension & the perfect story. There is plenty of patio seating and lots of parking outside. There can be a line on the weekends and they tend to sell out so keep that in mind. The staff is friendly and service is quick!

Lives up to the hype. Here's the thing--You may end up waiting quite some time for your food…read more However, if you give yourself the time to wait, you will not be disappointed. I had the Migas taco and the La Reyna taco. Both were excellent. I loved the veggies combination on the La Reyna taco. I would want to stop in and eat these every week if I lived in Austin. And the hot sauce was on point, both the green and the red. My husband had the Grilled Fish taco and the Grilled Steak taco. He couldn't decide which he liked better, but mentioned that the steak itself had amazing flavor. Do yourself a favor: free up two hours on your day off; order some tacos; order a Desnudo coffee or matcha or hibiscus tea and enjoy the tree-shaded outdoor dining area while you wait for some truly outstanding tacos.

This tastes like it came straight out of someone's granny's kitchen in SPAIN. D E L I C I O U S. The menu isn't all vegan, but they've done an incredible job offering both traditional and vegan versions without losing any soul. Am I in heaven? Yes. The owner makes it a point to connect with customers, which was refreshing. You can tell this is passion-driven. You order via QR code at your table, then pick up out back when it's ready--easy. Everything is prepped daily in a Commercial kitchen and finished on the truck, and he proudly shared that the ingredients, spices, even the meats are sourced from Spain. Vegan paella? Incredible. Patatas bravas with vegan aioli? My personal favorite, sooo good. My husband loved the jamón serrano sandwich. And whatever you do, don't skip the sourdough rye with tomato spread. They also mix in a few Belgian items to match the bar, which adds to the whole European vibe. I already need to go back for the vegan fideuà and bombas..they were sold out, which tells you everything. Do yourself a favor: try this spot and support a small business that's clearly fueled by passion and flavor. Yum.

The croquetas and bravas are the best in Austin - better than Kalimotxo, San Gines, and El Raval. They were extremely delicious and the perfect texture and size. The paella was about as good as you could expect from a food truck. The tortilla was our least favorite - taste was good, but wasn't as liquidy as you'd expect in Spain. Overall, the food was great. We would definitely go back! Thank you for keeping this Spanish food authentic.

I sat down yesterday to eat a $13 lunch special: brown stew chicken, rice and peas, steamed…read morecabbage, and plantain, and bit into a piece of chicken that was refrigerator cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. I bit it a second time because I genuinely couldn't believe it. Meanwhile, the rice was so hot it was still visibly steaming from what I can only assume was a microwave, drowned in a watery gravy I never asked for, next to the old cabbage with solidified liquid. I brought the plate back to the counter, explained the chicken was refrigerator cold, and asked them to reheat it. I'm writing this today with an upset stomach. I wish I could say this was a one-time issue. It's not. I've been trying this restaurant, on and off, for over 15 years, and I kept giving them chance after chance because I wanted so badly for it to be good. I first met the owner when he ran a food truck, before the restaurant existed. I was excited; there weren't many Jamaicans in Austin at the time, and I was happy to support one. The rice and peas was so bad I threw the plate away. Years later, I tried the restaurant location. I ordered curry goat, took it to my car, and found the meat flavorless, fatty, and poorly trimmed; basically inedible. I threw it away in the parking lot. I later ordered oxtail through Uber Eats: flavorless again, poorly prepped meat, and an actual rock in the rice and peas. I tried introducing the child to Jamaican food with one of their beef patties, and it was dry and flavorless. Yesterday I ordered the "safest" thing on the menu, brown stew chicken, specifically because I no longer trust myself to spend real money on anything more ambitious here. I still got food that had clearly been microwaved and reheated unevenly, served with a piece of chicken that was still cold. Are we really selling microwaved leftovers out of an established restaurant with a huge kitchen? Jamaican food is something our culture takes real pride in. This restaurant has had a decade and a half to get it right, and instead I've watched it consistently cut corners on seasoning, on prep, and now on basic food safety. I don't say this lightly: if you want real Jamaican food, this isn't where you'll find it, and depending on the day, what you're served may not even be handled safely.
