Food trucks parks are a distinctly Austin-ite art form, and this one is pretty good. I was invited…read morehere for a Yelp function and got to sample a number of delicacies on offer from the resident trucks. Of special note is the very good blueberry lemonade from Conscious Cravings, as well as a to-die-for selection of goat cheese from the Chivata Goat Cheese Truck. (Seriously, go check out their trailer and pick up one of their sandwiches, your tummy will thank you.) Pros: Outdoor and *indoor* seating - useful when it rains or bakes in Austin, which it can. Reasonable selection of food trucks, you'll find something to try. Bathroom facilities are fine and not port-a-potties. Cons: Some of the trucks hold odd hours on the weekend. Parking is at a premium, with about a dozen spots and 2 handicapped spots. You can find parking on the side streets but be careful crossing 1st Street as the traffic zooms by at light speed! All in all, this location is well worth a visit!

Waah. Development…read moreand gentrification are destroying the great food truck courts of First Street. Many of the finest ones have either closed or are draining out. What's the issue? Landlords want the land to build new high density apartment buildings. * * * Double Waah. The Bouldin Creek Food Park is still around. Bouldin Creek Food Park is probably the worst of the traditional First Street food courts. It is the northernmost of the First Street food courts - the one nearest to Palmer Auditorium and downtown. It is on a teeny tiny strip of land between First Street itself and the gulch of East Bouldin Creek. The lot is too narrow and oddly shaped to permit high density development. So the landlords are going to leave this place alone. Just as there is precious little room for development, There is also precious little room for the food trucks and the parking. So simply from lack of space, the customers sit practically on First Street itself. The eating tables get the full blast of First Street traffic. The eaters get the noise and the carbon monoxide. They also get the uncompromising blast of the Austin summer sun There is one exception to the rule. If you look carefully, you will find exactly one table in the back that is rustic, quiet and pretty. The East Bouldin Creek Gulch runs there. The gulch has lots of shade and really nice rock cliffs. Picnic heaven? No such luck. The back is where they dump the detritus and spare junk from the food trucks. The back has pallets, framing and extra plastic bottles the carts don't have room for. You are in a eating in a trash pile, a shady trash pile but still a trash pile. * * * Life gets more interesting if you have to go to the bathroom. The bathroom literally is a porta-potty. To be fair, they empty it frequently, so it is not too gross. However, there is no running water to wash your hands after you do your business. Not being able to wash your hands is not great if you intend to eat food afterwards. * * * If the food trucks were absolutely marvelous, one might tolerate the bad location and set-up. The trucks they have are run of the mill. Dawa is better than run of the mill. The rest are ho hum. All of these trucks would be more pleasant in a nicer location. Mueller for example would be a huge promotion for any of them. If you have a food truck you adore, and Bouldin Creek is where it happens to be, all power to you. Enjoy your meal. Enjoy watching the cars drive by. Be sure to go to the bathroom before you leave the house.

There were a ton of people there late Saturday morning, but we waited no more than 10 minutes for 2 The Johnnys. Holy smokes they were BOMB! Taking a staple food to another level! The Johnny has potatoes, cheese, bacon, and sausage with of course biscuits and gravy. Easily could've split mine, but my friend ate all three biscuits in one sitting! Extremely filling, so definitely expect a food coma if you crush all 3 biscuits! Honestly, probably will come back during football season because if I pick one of these up and veg on the couch, that would be a dream football-watching Sunday! Great stuff overall!

Overall, a very very filling meal and I'm happy I got to try this food truck!

After having this on my Must Try list for the past three years, I was finally able to try Boteco,…read moreand it did not disappoint. I ordered the Picanha Grelhada. The steak was cooked medium rare, just the way I like it. It paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice, veggies, farofa, and of course, the fried egg. It was my first time eating farofa, and I enjoyed the added texture (almost couscous-like). The staff was also incredibly friendly! The only thing to note is that the pricing has changed quite heavily. On Yelp, you'll find that many of the menu images show the Picanha Grelhada to be around $14-$16; however, the current price is around $20. Enjoyed the food, but it admittedly is a slightly steep price for the portion size. Overall, a great area with lots of seating and parking available. Would definitely recommend.

It's been a while since I last visited this Veracruz location, but I'm glad I did!…read more It's a bit tucked away within the surrounding neighborhood and has a limited number of nearby parking spots, but there's plenty of street parking if you just drive out a little bit. The area is laidback with a play area for kids/families. There's also a coffee shop right next door. In terms of service, the staff are great -- just need to be prepared for a wait, especially if you're there during the weekend. (To be fair, they do have a sign by the register that says they make fresh food, not fast food). You also have the option of doing an online order + pick-up, which may speed things up. I usually get the migas tacos at Veracruz but went with the grilled fish taco this time, which was also very delicious! Grilled Fish Taco ($7.50, 5/5) - The grilled tilapia was tender yet still held its shape. It also had just the right amount of crunch. - The toppings (cabbage, mango pico, cheese, avocado, chipotle mayo salsa) made each bite very enjoyable - As always, love the sauces here Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a casual place to eat some good tacos. The prices are on the higher end, but the quality is consistent. Would definitely come back and try other items on their menu!

Brisket sandwich had a good mix of beef and fat, crust on the outside, BBQ sauce went well along with the onions. Bread nice and soft too. Noodle Brussels had great flavor however due to the inconsistency in size they were cooked to different softness. I preferred the smaller ones as they weren't crunchy when chewing. Personal preference. Overall great venue and the ambiance was laid back with a well kept area around the order/pickup window

Overall: 3.2/5 [take out]…read more We came to Chalmers Bar on a Thursday night during a World Cup soccer game so it was pretty packed. Rolling Smoke BBQ is right in front of the entrance. We were planning to try one of each taco but they had already run out of the pulled pork. They wrapped each taco individually in aluminum foil to keep it warm which was a nice touch, though they didn't bring out the red and green sauces until we asked for them. Brisket Taco ($9): The brisket was a bit dry but the slice was pretty thick and it paired well with the acidity of the pickles. Carne G Taco ($6): Super cheesy and heavy. The flavors weren't bad but I felt pretty gross after eating one and it left me really bloated.

This used to be my favorite Thai place to go, and I became very good friends with the owners who…read morewere Thai. Then Covid came so a lot of things changed and I actually hadn't been back in about four years believe it or not. My how time passes. So the other night after a really good swim at the nearby Y, I'm scrolling through yelp pics and was like oh yeah it's cold outside and some really nice and warm green. Curry would be perfect and headed over to coat and Thai. Well, things have changed, there's nobody Thai making the food and I believe they told me the owners remain the same, but have trained them to run this for the past two years. I was a bit skeptical, but put an order in to give him a try. They were very nice. So the verdict is like most places that change hands or have different team running it is that it it's just not as good as it used to be. So it wasn't bad, but some noticeable things were the portions were reduced, whereas previously I would get an abundance of veggies that I believe refresh cut, and I sometimes would be really full eating the green curry. This time around the veggies seem to be Juliene and could be frozen from a bag, but I hardly got any in there and what sucks is that that's just literally.pennies by giving me an extra half scoop. The chicken is smaller and seems to be more chopped up, but I didn't get that much chicken either it was scarce. So in the end, I eat the whole thing and believe or not I was still kind of hungry, which is very unusual because we're talking in five or six years later and my appetite has shrunk. The other noticeable difference is the broth is a little more milky now and slightly less basil flavor. It still tasted pretty good but the old way just was much better. The owner there he would always cook my green curry and every dish that I ordered there because he and his sister were always there, and I consistently got the same great quality and quantity with each dish. Repeatable and reproducible and consistent. Now that is gone and that's why I can't say they're the best green curry anymore unfortunately Will I be back? I don't really know. I mean, if you're the best green curry in town like they used to be there was no questions asked when wanting Thai food I would always go to their trailer no matter what because I knew it was good and they were always consistent. When you're in the middle of the pack, well, it makes it much more difficult for me to stick with them on a consistent basis as I'll be open to trying other options as I'm sure we all do

Rating: 3.5/5 [take out]…read more This food truck was at the ACL GA+ Lounge, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the chicken pad Thai and egg rolls. The pad Thai had decent flavor, but the chicken was pretty dry and the portion size was on the smaller side. Definitely need the lime in my opinion. The egg rolls, on the other hand, were really good--crispy, warm, and flavorful. The order came with three vegetarian egg rolls which tasted better than expected.
