We had the Burro Cheese Truck cater our daughter's Quinceanera this weekend and the service and food was outstanding! We received many compliments on the food. We always order grilled cheeses at the Trail of Lights and were excited to find out that they also cater events. I would definitely recommend them! read more

Super quick bite in between talks and movie screenings since I tried it during SXSW. Very substantial sandwich, so I was pleasantly surprised. A little on the pricey side but some more-than-decent brisket went into it so yay! read more

Burro Cheese Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Burro Cheese Kitchen has a stationary shipping container location on South Congress, and a traveling food truck. The food truck was coming to the Deep Eddy Vodka Distillery Last Weekend of the Month Parties, but as they were unreliable (showing up late or not at all), they won't be found there most likely in the future. I happened to try them out recently at Deep Eddy, and they showed up about an hour late. So my review is on the food truck experience. I was hungry, but for a food truck, the artisan grilled cheese on gluten free bread was one of the best I have had. You can taste the difference in the fresh quality ingredients they are using. They pride themselves in only utilizing artisan bread (made fresh daily by Easy Tiger), cheese, and scratch in-house made sauces. The gluten free bread is sourced fresh from Austin's Wildwood House Bakehouse, double yum, and bonus star. I was so happy the food truck had a gluten free option! The food truck has a limited menu, so I will definitely need to get to the shipping container as they have a make your own option available. I had the Waylon & Willie sandwich, and the cheese was oozing out from sides, and it was stuffed with yummy ingredients, and the sauce paired perfectly. I was in grilled cheese heaven. The staff was friendly and as they make the sandwiches fresh, you have to wait a bit for your order to come up, but all the waiting was worth it. The name of this establishment is derived from the name of the Balkan Burro Cheese which is rumored to be the finest cheese produced in the world. The Google results show that Balkan Donkey's produce a cheese called, "Pule", which is a distinctive dairy product used in Serbia and is the most expensive cheese in the world due to it's rarity. So like the food truck, it is up for debate if it is the finest, but it is definitely a bit pricier, as it's rare to find an artisan quality grilled cheese in ATX. Now all they need is to add some tomato soup to the menu to pair with the grilled cheese, as the perfect rainy day blues cure. read more

Should have returned my OG sandwich order and asked for my money back. Main flavor: burnt log. Secondary flavor: ash. Poor bread choice and cheese had nothing going for it. They made it fast enough, but that doesn't make up for the $7 expense for awful tasting bread and cheese combo. read more

I think it totally sucks that the food trailer park on Congress had to close but I am much more of a fan of Burro's new location in front of the Statehouse. I think they have the best set up/design of any trailer I have seen in Austin and their sandwiches aren't too bad either. At the suggestion of the very helpful man behind the counter I ordered the Waylon and Willie. I was also surprised and delighted to learn that they were offering free beer that day so I indulged in a cup of Fireman's #4. The sandwich was extremely flavorful and I really did like the charbroiled taste on the bread. I will say it was a little too much bread and lacking on the cheese but the flavor over all made up for that. Next time I visit and there will for sure be a next time, I think I will create my own sandwich. read more

If you're looking for a unique sandwich, look no further. Especially if you're a vegetarian who loves cheese! I came here because PayPal was running a deal where they paid you $15 to "pay" for your meal using their app. Thanks, PayPal! To my surprise, the menu isn't populated with a ton of items, but there is a "build your own" option so I asked the team to cook me up two of their favorite combos so I could see what they're all about. They did, and I like it! The cheese is very high quality, that explains the expense. Plus the topping are premium. And I LOVE that they have gluten free bread, not only that, it's delicious. And the service is great. I really loved the guy who took our orders. Great experience. Would definitely return to try more! read more

So, I want to start off by saying that the grilled cheese sandwiches are great ... but oh my goodness the price. I'd push for a 4.5 or 5 star rating if not for the price. I am a small, tiny, little girl. Proof: 4'10" and under 100 pounds. I paid $11+ for a sandwich and I was still hungry after I finished. In fact, I think I could have eaten two orders. If you're going to charge that much for a sandwich, gourmet whatever, at least serve a substantial amount! Anyway, I had the Croque-Madame because it is comprised of all my favorites- sour dough bread, pesto, cheese of course, and a freaking egg. I love eggs in sandwiches. It was very yum! The cheese was melty and the bread was toasted well- not too crunchy, not too soft. The dulce de leche was a delicious addition for flavor because it was just sweet enough to taste. On the other hand, my friend had a sandwich with King's Hawaiian bread and it looked pretty burnt (blackened) on top... I didn't try it though, so maybe it was okay. You can also build your own sandwich! They have a really nice selection of cheeses and the ingredients offered in the sandwiches seem to be high quality overall. At first I thought the truck was a construction storage receptacle because it's painted yellow. Oops. There is nice wooden patio area with chairs and tables connected to the truck. If you find yourself on SoCo on a nice day, I do think Burro would be a nice lunch spot. read more

This place looks very enticing with the cute trailer and the signs boasting about delicious artisan grilled cheese sandwiches. Such a good concept since most everyone LOVES a great grilled cheese. I went with a good friend of mine who, like myself, is pretty easy to please. We ordered the VIA 206 and the Blue Hawaiian so we could split them and try both. They don't serve chips of any kind so it was just the sandwiches and 2 waters and our bill was over $17. Pretty outrageous for grilled cheeses. The sandwiches were not good. We each ate about 1/4 of each sandwich then threw them in the trash. The VIA 206 tasted like the bread was soaked in grease and the apricot spread and cheese mix was just wrong. The Blue Hawaiian was no better. Very disappointed in the food but the staff was very friendly and the trailer itself was clean. read more

We dropped by Burro Cheese Kitchen during SXSW, primarily due to a crazy deal they had running on the PayPal app. It's a little yellow shipping container turned into a kitchen in what is a pretty great location in the midst of SoCo. It's basically a food truck that doesn't have wheels. We ordered the O.G. and the Coppola sandwiches. You can tell that high quality ingredients are put into the sandwiches. The O.G. was just a sweet Hawaiian bread and cheese, but with sort of a high-end spin on the traditional grilled cheese. It was decent version of a classic. The Coppola is basically the flavors of a caprese salad in a sandwich - basil, tomato and cheese. The bread of this sandwich was the best part - high quality and toasted to perfection. Quite tasty. The food is okay-to-good, but my main reservation about this place is price - it seems a little much to ask between 8 and 11 bucks for a cheese sandwich on the side of the road. Burro Cheese Kitchen is great for a quick sandwich, but I'd never come here and fork over ten bucks for a sandwich that I could make at home without a whole lot of trouble. I'll come here as long as they offer a discount, but full price? I think not. CHEAPSKATE TIP: Download the PayPal app on your smartphone. This place offers $5-8 back if you pay with PayPal. read more

The best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had. I make sure I stop by every time I visit Austin. I think I have tried everything, its all delicious. You can't go wrong. The service is always great also, the guys are so sweet. I love Burro!!! read more

I had the OG sandwich and it was really good! They use King Hawaiian buns which are so so sweet and delicious. They make them really fast so the wait is not long at all. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for getting a filling meal though because the sandwich is pretty small and thin. read more

This place is off the walls! So good. Free beer 6-close on Fridays. Great portions, good prices, excellent location, great staff, and most importantly... The best grilled cheese sandwich on the planet. Do it! read more

Pretty solid grilled cheese sandwiches here! Got the coppola, they were out of basil when we went :( but it was still good. The sandwich consisted of sourdough bread with pesto aioli, tomato, and provolone cheese. Drizzle on some siracha to go with it and it's BOMB.COM. Burro is housed in a recycled shipping container which I thought was pretty awesome. They have a few picnic tables in a pretty cool outdoor setting. Check in for a discount! read more

Burro Cheese Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Um, YES PLEASE! The Croque-Madame was seriously so good. AND, the people there super friendly/helpful. Cool idea to hollow out a warehouse/storage drum/rail road car?? Whatever it is, the design was clean; which is good to give someone the impression when they are food truckin/trailer trollin. Umbrellas for the tables would be cool, but I can't remember if they were wooden/able to do that or not. What's a little more ultraviolet radiation on my noggin while I consume hot cheese gonna hurt anyway? All in all, I WILL be back. Good job Burro's! read more

This place is such a good stop if you're on Congress. I had a grilled cheese with sourdough, havarti, pesto and tomato. And obviously a side of Mac n cheese. The sandwich was good but had a gas/grill taste to it that towards the end seemed a little more noticeable. But, I'd go back for it. The Willy (get it with a fried egg) is really good. And for someone that doesn't like tomato soup, it's strange to say that I loved theirs! Is creamy without too much cream, and so fresh! Perfect for dunking grilled cheese! read more

Burro Cheese Kitchen - The Mac, tomato soup, Willy, and a ham, havarti, tomato and pesto grilled cheese! - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Freaking dank ass sandwiches. I was in love at first bite. I did the 'build your own' option the first time, with gluten free bread, no cheese (despite it being a cheese kitchen), the pesto aioli sauce, and then added arugula, tomatoes, and basil as my add-ons. Effing delicious, AND I got a free beer!Ummm... My kind of place. The dude who helped me was also very helpful and cool! There was a band playing, Tone Monkeys, and after they were done, they came over and gave me a bunch of free stickers :) The second time I went, I got the same thing expect with beer bread-- which was the best. Just, yum. No free beer this time (Friday is the free beer day), but how can I complain with a product so delicious that it leaves my whole family saying "mmm, oh my gosh" with every f**king bite? Definitely a must-try, especially if you're an artisan sandwich or cheese lover-- most people love both. Just maybe my new favorite food trailer in Austin, craving it as I type this review... Damn. read more

So I'm SO not a pay-tons-of-money-for-a-grilled-cheese kinda gal. I wouldn't have normally gone here. My friend wanted to and the smells were wafting into my nose and brain, so I said sure, why not? The guy at said truck was pretty nice and the sandwich came out in about 8 mins, just as he had predicted. (magic?) I got the Sourdough with redneck cheddar. The little almond pesto spread is great, first and foremost. Not much to say except that it was crack good and I could have had another. They should have a special on certain days or certain times - buy one get one half off or something. You will want a second. (my friend got a free beer though it wasn't advertised at the time which was cool) read more

The idea is great. It's artisan style cheese sandwich. I felt that the fig compote and the cheese were a good idea but the fig overpowered the taste. The portions were pretty big though. Really clean place too for a food truck. read more

The staff was wonderful, but I went close to the time that they were closing up and it took about 15 to 20 minutes for my grilled cheese to come out. I ordered "The O.G.", which is King's Hawaiian Bread and Havarti cheese! It was delicious! Kind of greasy, but I'm a sucker for any kind of gourmet cheese so I loved it! Definitely check them out! And use the coupon for 15% off of a sandwich! read more

About a week ago, I received a very nice note and invitation to return to Burro. I accepted. The owner, Justin, really takes pride in his product and wants his customers to have a good experience. I'm glad I returned, because I think I probably caught them on a bad day during my first visit. There was significantly more cheese on my Waylon and Willie, and it made all the difference. It was rich, filling, and comforting, things a good grilled cheese should be. My wife's Via 206 was a success but maybe a little too sweet, just an issue of personal taste. Burro aims to please, go here. read more

Lunched at your truck at the Deep Eddy distillery - If I could live on nothing but your sandwiches I'd die a happy woman. Seriously, it was so filling, but I just wanted more and more! I was with a big group and someone got at least one of each kind and each got a rave review. YUM!!!! read more

I was psyched for this place when I saw it's ad board and it was just a huge wheel of cheese. But it didn't really live up to the high expectations. This place has the right idea though, so I'm hoping they can get their flavors and combinations up to par. It has a great little set up with the sliding doors and patio built in. I think this place can improve soooo much and really be a gem. read more

Service: A+ Food: A+ Free Beer: A+ 'A pluses' all around. We tried the Waylon & Willie sandwich and it was delicious. My favorite item of the day. I asked if they had beer and they had leftover free beer from the evening before. Bonus! The seating area was nice. The wait wasn't long at all. The guy (according to my receipt his name was Sean) was very nice and helpful. I like this place! Next time I'm in Austin I'm coming back here for sure. read more

I have been here twice. First time had the Waylon & Willie, second time the Croque Madame. I preferred the Waylon but both sandwiches were excellent. The bread is perfect, buttery, and has this delicious charred texture on the outside. The cheese is gooey with a great flavor. These sandwiches live up to their "artisan" label. The service is friendly and the location is great with a nice atmosphere on South Congress right next to Amy's and the infamous "I Love You" wall. The food is a bit pricey but as with most places I frequent in Austin these days, it's worth it. read more

Had the OG and the fried pear. The OG is Hawaiian bread with Havarti. It tasted good, but the minus one star because it was soggy. Was hoping that it was going to be crispy and toasty. Booooo it wasn't. The fried pear was good. Nothing fancy. It was just a deep fried pear with cinnamon. No batter, nada. Would I order it again. Yes! It's worth coming back and trying something with sourdough. read more

This is the BEST grilled cheese sandwich I have ever put it my mouth. The Croque Madame was amazing!!!! This sandwich was def made with love and some top notch cheese. read more

Burro Cheese Kitchen - Croque Madame.... oh my lord. - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Had the gruyere with apricot fig jam but wasn't crazy about it. The cheese didn't taste real fresh. The bread was really flat and course texture wise. I read many great reviews but unfortunately was not impressed. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing on the wrong day?? It was a lot to pay for something that wasn't all that! read more

I had an out of body cheese experience here. This is not your normal grilled cheese sandwich. They have sophisticated ingredients like gouda and jalapeno pesto sauce. If I wasn't in public I would have licked the paper it was wrapped in clean. So. Good. read more

I was not expecting much when my husband suggested eating here. It looks like a yellow POD and you eat at picnic tables outside. However, the food was AMAZING! I got a grilled cheese on sourdough with havarti cheese. They bread was toasted but not burnt. read more

Seriously, the croque Madame here was SO GOOD -- it's a meal I definitely will not forget. I was passing the through Austin and wanted to get something interesting to eat on Congress, and decided to check out this little yellow trailer. Yes, it was pricey ($9 or so) but it did not disappoint and I would go back to Austin just for that sandwich. read more

Burro Cheese Kitchen - The Croque Madame - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

We had some delicious sandwiches here. There were grilled perfectly and had great unique flavors. We had the Willie and Waylon, which was tasty if not a tiny bit spicier than we anticipated. We also made one of our own with sourdough, sharp cheddar, pesto, arugula and tomato. It was also super good. The staff was friendly and helpful in making choices for our "build your own". People are saying its overpriced. Well, if you want McDonald's prices, you're going to get McDonald's quality. This isn't Kraft slices on white bread. This place has delicious cheeses and breads that are fresh and local. If you want quality and to support local farmers and businesses, it's going to cost a little more. People need to get over thinking they can eat good, local food for pennies. I for one am happy to pay a little extra for quality, ambiance, unique offerings and local support. read more

Came here for the Austin passbook deal. Buy one get one free deal for a grilled cheese and a side, not bad! The location is adorable. Right off Congress in the shade, small picnic tables and a few chairs. It's right next to the Austin Juice trailer. (Which is also in my passbook, I plan to try that soon!) We ordered the Croque-Madame. And then ordered a custom sandwich with a Hawaiian bun, cheddar, ham, an egg, spinach, and jalapeño cream cilantro sauce. It was tough for me to decide which one I liked better but I think I settled on the Croque-Madame. It was a little sweet but the flavors combines were amazing. Our custom sandwich wound up being really good too, mostly thanks to the sauce. I highly recommend the jalapeño cream cilantro sauce. It wasn't spicy to me at all but it had an amazing flavor. I'm a sucker for anything cilantro. *The sourdough bread did get a little soggy, but it didn't bother me (might bother others). The Hawaiian bun stayed pretty toasted and crispy.* Our sides were a fruit cup and tomato soup (cute!). The fruit cup was green apples and oranges, refreshing and the fruit tasted fresh. The tomato soup was good. Had some chunks in it, probably tomatoes. So that was a strange consistency, but the taste was really good. I think having tomato soup at a grilled cheese trailer is a great idea. I'd definitely go back to try a different combination or a different sandwich. The ones we got were really good, but I'm looking for that one to be blown away by. =] read more

Grilled cheese sandwiches are important to me. I care deeply about crunchy bread, gooey cheese, thoughtful fillings. So does Burro. An amazing selection of interesting, exotic cheeses that would be a treat to try individually, paired with wholesome, sturdy bread just waiting to be buttered and grilled to perfect are pushed to greatness by the intriguing selection of dips. I went with the beer bread, redneck cheddar, and maple bacon dip, and it left me satisfied and curious for more. I will be back to explore the menu to its fullest extent, and I hope to see you there. One last note: the fried pears are the best thing that has ever happened to pears. Get this dessert side.... and save room for the bread pudding - these folks GET bread, dairy, and deliciousness. read more

Grilled Cheese, we meet again. This time at an all grown up, artisan food truck. I got the OG, and that was one dang good grilled cheese. Perfectly golden brown bread and deliciously melted, stringy cheese. And it was all elevated by a side of hot sauce. So good. Definitely a cool, fun, and delicious food truck experience. read more

I was craving a grilled cheese sandwich so family and I took a trip downtown to get our cheese sandwich on: Pros :OG sandwich was cheesy gooey delicious . The Kings Hawaiian bread compliments well with the cheese. My son had the burning mac and he loved it and I think hubby built his own cheese sandwich which he loved. Oh and get the tomato soup for happy dipping. Cons: finding parking is a hassle.. we can only find street parking close to this place and I felt the sandwiches were a bit overpriced for the amount you get. You won't get full. For good food, I'll pay the price and will be back when my hubby takes me here for date night down S Congress but not too late, they close at 8:30pm on most days. read more

Absolutely delicious! I had the Coppola sandwich with bacon! So good. One of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've had in a long time! read more

Burro Cheese Kitchen - Coppola with Bacon! Sooo good! pardon the bite! - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I went here for lunch and got a Via 206. First thing, I didn't understand why it came with 2 sandwiches. I thought it was a little too bready and not enough cheesy. I would rather them keep the other slices of bread and put more goodies inside the 1 sandwich. I will return though, and I will try another kind :) read more

Got the Waylon & Willie and it was pretty good, but not amazing. The list of ingredients sounded great, but I could really only taste the bread, cheese, and pepperoncinis. Those ingredients were tasty and the bread was some of the best sourdough I've had in town, but I wouldn't have known there was other stuff in there. read more

Not your moms grilled cheese...actually my moms grilled cheeses blow this place outta the park. We waited 20 minutes in a not busy line to be told after we ordered the Burning Mac it was sold out...at 8pm... then waited an additional 20 minutes just for the food. It was gross. $20 later we threw them away. read more

Came here for the beer! On Fridays they offer free beer after 6 with a purchase. So why not? We came and I got the brisket with habanero pineapple spread with a good ol Lone Star because Texas. All kidding aside the brisket was awesome, great flavor and a little fatty. Sat outside in the scorching sun with the cold beer. Loved it. I will be back read more
