We ordered the Picanha Grelhada, their house special (steak, rice, beans and a fried egg) and it was exceptional. Get the fatty meat. The staff brought out complimentary yucca fries and those were delicious also. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. Good price point and generous portions. I will definitely be back soon. read more

I have literally never written a yelp review (that I can remember) but I felt obligated. Maybe the best hangover meal of my life. The steak was ridiculous! I am a new person. - Matthew read more

Incredible food. Incredible service. Wallet friendly. What's not to like? A must visit for any foodie in town!

cheese empanada was solid, the sauce was super good too. We just got one and it was served piping hot just the way I like it. Only wish would be to have another veggie option like spinach in there or something. But like I said, solid! read more

We ordered 4 dishes to share, and they were all great. The folks who were working were super friendly, too. We'll definitely be back.

Came here later in the evening and nobody was there (it was also raining) but the place had a outdoor eating area with a canopy over it. It was v cute with string lights as well. Had to picanha and yuca fires. Thinking about the fries just made my tummy rumble. Mercy pls. The owner was so sweet and nice too I'm so glad I got to stop by here during my trip to Texas. read more

Great, authentic tasting, flavorful Brazilian food! Must try the yucca fries and mango juice. Food truck people were very nice as gave free desert for our first time there. read more

Boteco continues to be outstanding! Everything was perfect...the food, the atmosphere and the service! I can not recommend Boteco enough, it can truly rival any brick and mortar restaurant around. read more

Couldn't possibly give Boteco less than 5 stars so I'll throw my positive review in here too. We've gone a few times and had everything on the menu and it's all absolutely delicious. The owner goes out of his way to come and say hi to every table and make sure everyone has a positive experience. Hope this place sticks around for a long long time. read more

This review is in direct correlation with the service more so than the food. For starters, the food hands down is some of the best i've ever had, of any kind. The Steak was a PERFECT Medium Rare and the Yuca Fries were perfectly crispy and soft on the inside. Now onto the reason I'm posting. Fernando was the most genuine person i have run into in a while. He thanked us multiple times for eating there and stopped in to chat with us while we were wrapping up our meal. He stated "My favorite thing about my job is how happy my food makes couples in particular, how the food makes them talk to one another with big smiles".. Well it worked, my girlfriend and i left that place full and happy as hell! read more

We had almost everything on the menu and it was all delicious! The steak was so juicy and tender and their white rice that they serve with their dishes is so garlicky and flavorful. I'm not sure if the person who took our order was the owner or not, but he was so helpful in explaining the dishes and brought out some dishes for us to try. He offered better service than most sit down restaurants. read more

Yuca fries are excellent. Beans and seasoning were impressive. Highly recommend.

Favorite food item I had during my weeklong stay in Austin was the Picanha Grelhada - there were so many different yet flavorful elements in this dish, not to mention the variety of colors (great for picture taking)! Plus, i had fun making yolk porn with the perfectly fried egg :D. The mango/passionfruit juice is also a must have, it was amazingly fresh tasting and not too sweet. The owner (i'm guessing) was super friendly and came out after our meal to greet us and see how we liked everything. It definitely felt more like a nice outdoor restaurant than a food trailer - this place deserves its 5 star status. read more

So good, so good, so good!!! My friends and I fell in love with this cozy food truck in downtown. I think I've tried almost every menu there, everything was so delicious. Yuka fries for sure, cream croquettes, and the steak plate! Definitely coming back in the spring. read more

I have to start off by saying that Brasilian food is very near and dear to my heart. I was so excited to see that there was an applicable food truck in a neat part of town that absolutely came through with excellent food. First off, the staff were super helpful and nice - and made some great recommendations for my fiancee and me. I always thought yucca fries were pretty spare - but this place has the best yucca fries that I've ever had. The aioli was awesome - and the coxinhas were top notch. We ended up filling up on appetizers (pastels and whatnot) before we could try the entree, but we'll definitely be back. read more

This place is amazing! The food is fresh and delicous. You can tell they are really dedicated to serve amazing food. They were so kind and friendly, too! Seriously top notch place. And the music is so fun and vibrant. We will definitely be back! read more

Very friendly, caring, and generous! Great customer service with outdoor music . Thanks, Fernando, for being a great host!

Amazing! Great owner. Small menu, and everything is spot on. Try the the Picanha Grelhada.

Delightfully surprised. You know it's good when you are still left wondering how they did it for days afterward. Perhaps it's the superb balance of flavors. Fernando is also a great guy. I've had several long conversations with him. read more

Absolutely fantastic food. The yuca fries are tender, which is super rare. The empanadas were amazing and flavorful. The picanha cut is very rare as well and it is very juicy and tender. This place needs to be on the top ten to eat at in Austin. The owners were so kind and welcoming too! read more

This is not just a food truck. This is a religious experience and worth a pilgrimage. Fernando curates a tiny but perfectly executed menu of Brazilian favorites. This is truck food done right. Excellent ingredients coupled with personal and loving service make this food a must-try in Austin. Arrive at noon or before to ensure you get a seat and the food. Fernando also has a few secret menu items. Definitely worth it to ask. Portions are impeccably sized and very filling. You'll feel more like a restaurant patron than a food truck junkie at this establishment. read more

Wow! We came with high expectations after seeing 5 stars and 200 reviews, and we were still amazed. The yuca fries were soft, crispy, and so incredibly delicious when paired with the green sauce. The mango and passion fruit juices were very delicious. Excellent and friendly service. High recommendation!! read more

Read amazing reviews on Yelp and decided to give it a try. In from Michigan for a conference and it was worth the walk there. Fantastic food, Yucca Fries were the best we've had, the steak plate was AMAZING, I told the owner how much we enjoyed the yucca flour in it! Definitely worth a visit! read more

Great food, friendly people, and chill vibes! So glad I found this food truck. Concise menu so making a decision on what to order is easier than usual! read more

The smallest food truck with the best empanadas. Definitely take an uber here because if you walk you will be walking in not a great area.

Nice to have a Brazilian food truck option. However, the food was way too salty and pretty overpriced for the quality of the ingredients.

This truck was served at work today and the vegan bowl was amazing with the yucca fries. Thanks Boteco for amazing food that's always fabulous! read more

I'm only sorry that it took me so long to visit Brazil via Boteco! The owner cares about making sure that you feel welcome and understand the care and family history behind the food. Go with a group and try everything, even desert! It is all delicious and craveable! read more

A great meal with an even cooler owner. Give Fernando a shoutout when you come. He makes some great food and is an awesome host

Amazing food and excellent service! We had the croquettes and the steak dish. Definitely try the hot pepper sauce if you like spicy food. We will make a point to come back the next time we visit Austin. read more

This place and the people running it are superb! The food truck is painted a bright yellow so you definitely won't miss it when you walk up to the area. For our group of three we ordered the coxinha, yucca fries, and the steak meals they offered. I really enjoyed the coxinha. The texture and flavor were really wonderful in my opinion. My father, however, was not a huge fan of it. The yucca fries were truly amazing! The outside is nice and crispy while the inside is soft. The fries pair wonderfully with the cilantro dipping sauce provided. All three of us raved about how amazing they were. The meal plates came out shortly after we finished the appetizers. The plates are laid out in a way that is very aesthetically pleasing. I ordered my meat to be cooked medium and it was very tasty. Everyone enjoyed their plate and felt full afterwards. The man running the truck was very friendly and really made us feel welcome. At the end of our meal he gave us complimentary chocolate truffles which topped off a great experience at his food truck. This place is a must stop for lovers of food trucks. read more

Boteco - The coxinha - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

Great atmosphere even with the hot weather . We went this past Friday around brunch , for the amount of customers they had our service was pretty fast . The yuca is a must defiantly ask for more dipping sauce because one will not be enough . We ordered the special it was good . I believe it was Fernando that approached us towards the end and offered us a yogurt which was awesome . Defiantly will come back when we are in Austin . Only thing I would recommend use the restroom before you go and the benches are not comfortable for people that are over 6ft tall . read more

Excellent food and nicest person working there. Yucca fries great and steak was fantastic! Can't say enough about how tasty is was!! Yum

This food truck is AMAZING! My mom is Brazilian and this food truck is a close rival to her food. I have tried EVERYTHING off the menu and I am in love. A must try here in Austin! read more

We had never had Brazilian food before and are so glad we chose this place for our first experience. We had the Coxinha and the beef Empanada. They were amazing!!! The young man even came out to ask what we thought of the food! Next time we're in Austin, we will be back here. read more

Do yourself a favor and get yourself to Boteco ASAP. $14 for a steak, onions, peppers, rice, yucca flour and beans. Yucca fries are also incredible. Staff is incredibly friendly, passionate and really puts a ton of TLC into the food. read more

How in the world did it actually take me this long to write a review for my absolute FAVORITE place to eat in all of Austin. If I could eat here everyday I would. The Picanha is to die for and their occasional special dishes are worth stopping what you're doing to go get. Does it sound like I love this place? It's because I do. I'm hoping that one day Fernando expands into a full restaurant but until then I'll continue to drive 40 mins here to get an awesome sample of the wonderful Brasilian cuisine. read more

Absolutely love Fernando, the food, and the Samba music! It's by far the best food truck experience I've had in Austin.

Awesome food...went on a Friday night. Met the owner..he was getting ready for a private event with Austin's local movie star! Great meal....need to go back ASAP. read more

So happy that Austin has Brazilian food that isn't a steakhouse. The food is fairly traditional food from Minas. The coxinha have been Americanized a little with cream cheese but taste even better than most I've had in Brazil. The yuca fries are great. The pastel are just like Brazil. I haven't had pao de queijo yet since they only serve on weekends I believe. The picanha and feijoada are also very good. I hope they can become more popular and potentially add some more dishes you don't see much in the USA. read more
