Tempeh Tender
Hannah K.

You'd be forgiven for dreading the drive all the way out to Dripping Springs to get your hands on food from Dipping Springs Tender Co., but this trailer is actually parked in East Austin, conveniently located in the Eastciders Taproom parking lot, no less. Their kettle chip-crusted Tempeh Tenders stand out for their resoundingly crisp coating and soft, subtly nutty interior. The combination of old-school ingredients and new-school technique creates a perfectly balanced wholesome junk food experience; healthy enough that you don't need to justify the indulgence, but decadent enough that it satisfies those fast food cravings. Pair it with one of almost a dozen vegan dipping sauce options, and check out the collard greens to get in a serving of vegetables with you meal.

You can see how much fried oil permeated the meat.

I just needed a quick snack the other day and wasn't feeling fried chicken. So to my surprise, they had Mac n cheese that slapped. Not literally, they'd be outta business if they did. But the flavors and pasta were on point. And not to mention the cheesy goodness. If you're making REAL Mac n cheese there is always a cheesy top and they delivered here. Crunchy cheese with a cheese pull. That's a win in my book. So even if you're not feeling polo then go for the cheese pull. Update: I actually had the tenders and they were not tender at all. Unfortunately, I received their fried tenders when I asked for "naked" but was already home so was stuck. The tender was over cooked and dry dry. I don't know if the TX sweltering heat + radiant heat entombed in the truck got to the cooking process but it wasn't pleasant, sadly. I would've eaten those Tyson chicken nuggets out of the bag instead at this point. I wish their namesake item was as delicious as it seems. But in my case, looks were deceiving. The Mac n cheese review is the saving Grace.

They're a simple little food truck in the Springdale Station. He was a friendly guy at the window and served the purpose

These are some of the absolute best tacos I've had in my life. Me and my friends come here on a…read moreconsistent basis and everything is always so wonderful. The tortillas have wonderful flavor, the meat is perfectly cooked and the salsa are phenomenal. Their drinks are also great. I don't ever go anywhere else for tacos!!!! It literally cannot get better than Rosita's

Came on a Tuesday for a mid workday lunch with some friends, and this spot was pretty busy. Plenty…read moreof seating inside, very chill, homestyle feeling Mexican joint with great tacos. Seems like a lot of people stop by here midday for lunch. Prices were fantastic, honestly some of the most affordable taco prices I've seen in Austin in a while. Al pastor tacos were listed around $2 each, and some of their other tacos ran a little more standard, around $3 or so. They also offer nachos and burritos. They have fries too, though I was a little bummed they don't have al pastor fries specifically, since I'm a sucker for those. Otherwise they've got all the standard Mexican plates and dishes covered. Al Pastor Quesadilla ($11.99, 6/10) - Comes with four quesadillas filled with al pastor meat, plus a side of sour cream, salsa, and guacamole - Portions were moderate to slightly small, wished they were a bit bigger - Wanted them a little crispier, they were hot but not the crispiest, and the cheese was melty but the overall texture felt like a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the meal - Al pastor itself was very delicious though, that part redeemed the dish - They also have red and green side sauces, the green is super spicy, the red is spicy too but a little creamier. If I come back, I'd probably just get a bunch of al pastor tacos instead and skip the quesadillas. If you're someone who likes super crispy quesadillas, you might want to skip this one too, though it's possible mine just wasn't as crispy as it could've been on this particular visit. Overall, super chill spot with great prices and good al pastor, true to the restaurant's name. Would come back for a quick bite, but might steer clear of the quesadillas next time.
