    Wagyu beef burger
    Melina B.

    I went here after seeing rave reviews, and I was craving some tex-mex. This food truck did NOT disappoint. Every ingredient-from the fresh cheeses to the wagyu beef- combined into exactly what I would expect and crave from a tex mex location! The owner of the truck was the person that served us, and he gave plenty of recommendations because it was my first time here. The elote corn was spicy and sweet and perfectly balanced, and the quesadilla had smoked chicken that I could've eaten plain and still fallen in love with! Topped with cheese and spice, and it was the best chicken quesadilla (and the biggest) I've had in months. I don't usually opt for wagyu bacon burgers at a tex mex food truck, but when the owner said he grinds his own meat, I wanted to give it a try and WOW am I glad that I did. He warned that he doesn't add much in the way of spices, and I totally understand why; the meat was so delicious you didn't need to do anything with it! I sat at an outdoor picnic table, but I was offered to sit inside the brewery next door if I wanted to. Overall great service, delicious food, and worth the barely 15 minute wait! Give this place a try if you want fresh, satiating Tex Mex food in big portions!

    Food truck where all the good food is.

    We came here from out of town and the food was absolutely amazing. The best brisket taco we've ever had. The sauces were on point. Above all the amazing food, the owner, Alfredo (sorry if I spelled that wrong) came out and asked how everything was. You don't get that a lot. You can tell that he cares so much about his food, service and how people like it. The ambiance and atmosphere of the brewery lended itself to the food. If you're ever in Houston, do yourself a favor and drop by for some great food and wonderful people.

    Really good veggie quesadillas using great ingredients and perfect tortillas. The elote also is very good.

    Came here because my BF wanted to show me what his late nights at Rice were like after a few beers…read more I was tempted to order more than just the hot dog, but we had a heavy lunch. I swear the Bulgogi Fries were screaming my name, though. Yoyo's Hotdog - Yoyo--YO. This thing slaps. I definitely craved a Coke or a beer while eating this because that salt kicks your taste buds' *ss. The caramelized onions paired with the crunchy onions were a double whammy that could topple a few hot dog title holders. The real winner, though, was the sauce--definitely something Asian-inspired. But hey, I'm running on five hours of sleep, and that's the best my smooth brain could come up with to describe the experience. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

    In Houston on a trip and was recommended to try this place out while I'm here. Service is super…read morefast and the customer service is great! I got their famous hotdog with spicy mayo, french onion, sautéed onions, and hot sauce. (That's how it comes standard) don't get me wrong it's definitely a lot going on from the flavors and the messiness of the dog, but the flavors balance out very well and the all beef hot dog is delicious. There's no spice from the mayo or hot sauce so if you don't like spice you'll be fine. I also tried their bulgogi fries which came with bulgogi meat, jalepenos, cheese and cilantro. My first reaction was it was delicious but it wouldn't be something I would get again, but after I kept eating it I realized this is actually really good and now when I go back I'll definitely try it again. Overall I definitely recommend this place to visitors or even locals
