    The taco trailer.
    Suzie P.

    Well, another taco truck/trailer.. I saw it here the other day, but it was closed, so I think they must have just been in the process of opening (a new location).. or moving (from a previous Location) maybe? Not sure. While I waited on my order I looked at reviews for the locations.. and the low stars were a little bothersome, especially from a few select Yelpers I've come to like and respect (in the way of reviews).. I was sure hoping I would have a better experience.. for a couple reasons.. I was hungry as hell and I don't like having writing negative reviews for local joints, but the way I see it.. If I write one way, I need to write both... So it saddens me when a local place falls short. Im happy this little trailer did not disappoint this morning! Breakfast tacos $1.75 for 3 items and $.25 for additional items. can't go wrong with that. I ordered Bean, Egg, and Cheese Potato, Egg, and Cheese and they came with green sauce and red sauce. The tortilla... well, I could very much be wrong about this, but they sure tasted homemade.. not store-bought. And if they were, well, then I'd like to know where they came from, cause they were really good. Had a different flavor that reminded me of the tortillas a lady used to make for us when I was younger. The potato was, thankfully, "al dente" if you will.. and had a great flavor. The egg was fried nicely, more of a fried texture, then a soft scramble, which was a nice change. The beans also had a great flavor and were wholesome.. not a pile of mush, yet cooked completely. The tacos were filled generously, IMO.. no skimping there. The sauce? Yikes.. both of them had WONDERFUL flavors, but they were both too spicy for me. I really loved the flavor of the green sauce (avocado sauce) but could not handle the heat it packed. The service was spot on, Friendly. With a smile. Not a lot of chitter chatter (language thing, Im sure.. no problem though) Had no troubles ordering, or knowing she needed quarters as she was apparently running low.. and it just happened that I had about $10 worth in my bag that were left over from the kids at the festival. So we traded... helped us both out. I lightened my load and she has change now! Are they best? Probably not. Are they pretty good? Yes Service good? Yes Full of flavor? Yes Timely Service? Yes Will I go back? Oh yeah...absolutely.

    We were craving street tacos and we stopped to try them out here. Well, while the seating accommodations were lacking, we ordered the buche tacos and barbacoa tacos and we were pleasantly surprised! They give you double tortillas with each taco and they had onions and cilantro on top and the salsa in a jar to add to your tacos! They were not greasy and they were delicious! If you are craving Mexican Street tacos, this is the place to eat them at. They have a drive through which I would recommend since they only have like 10 stools to seat at and they have a variety of can and bottled sodas for you to drink. They don't offer tea , but we truly enjoyed the tacos! We will definitely come back!

    For the price, you'd be much better off at Torchy's. The quality of all of the meats is subpar, with the exception of the fish taco. We sampled the chicarron, carne guisada, taco pescado, al pastor, fajita taco and a bacon, egg and cheese breakfast taco. Everything was spicy except for the fajita and breakfast taco. The horchata has too much cinnamon and is way too sweet. Extremely disappointed and won't be coming back

    The El Tacorrido on North Lamar is small and unassuming but the food is nothing similar to the pint-sized restaurant. The breakfast tacos are a massive rush of Latinax/Hispanic flavors, the beef tacos pack a forceful punch in all the right places, and the beef torta is an epic sandwich that even the hulk couldn't smash Needless to say I love El Taccorrido. The pricing is beyond fair and inexpensive. The women who give the restaurant life and my stomach tasteful bliss are kind, sassy but professional, and are open to giving us non-Spanish squares a patient chance to butcher their language with grace.

    The food is spot on but if you're going for breakfast be prepared to have a long wait. Definitely recommend the chorizo!

    Not great. Tacos smelled weird, Gordita fell apart, and the chicken had a lot of chewy fat that didn't taste good.

    Can anyone tell me, on the egg/bacon breakfast tacos, is the bacon one whole strip or cut- up pieces mixed in the eggs? Do they make any of their own fresh tortillas?

    I've been going thru all the birthday deals on different apps and Toast had $5 off at Buddha Burger…read moreso I decided to try it for the first time. It's a large food trailer at the corner of Metric Blvd and Cedar Bend Dr in North Austin area. I got The Awakening burger from their "Forbidden Menu" which has a bunch of different bold burgers. The Awakening definitely lived up to its name since the deep fried battered jalapeño and the Awakening sauce are very spicy (and delicious). The patty isn't huge and is a smash burger style, but the burger was filling and bun was very fresh tasting. I even ran into a nice guy at the window for the pickup and we recognized each other from when he was a manager at Sonic. He's definitely at a much better place now with Buddha Burger! They also have a picnic table area with some shade if you choose to eat before you got the road again. And the corner isn't too loud, I'm fact they even had some music playing.

    It's a food truck parked right outside a gas station with a few benches and tables nearby, nothing…read morefancy, just a laid back spot to sit down and enjoy an excellent burger. This instantly became my favorite burger spot around after my first visit. The staff are always kind, the food comes out fast, and everything I've had has been consistently amazing. The Cajun fries are a must. They're packed with flavor and have just the right amount of kick. I've worked my way through pretty much the whole menu at this point, including several burgers and even the chicken sandwich's, and honestly it's all been ridiculously good. The burger patties are flavorful, juicy, and perfectly greasy in the best possible way. The Nirvana sauce takes everything to another level and has become mandatory for me anytime I go. My personal favorite is the California Classic, and I always get the double because it's just too good not to. It's definitely one of those indulgent meals you try not to have too often, but every time I cave and go back, it completely delivers.

Most of the flavor is on the outside though and because the chicken is so juicy and big the crust falls off. The chicken sand which is HUGE. There is so much meat and the ratio seems really off. The bread gets really soggy fast but the coleslaw and pickles are a nice addition. The flavors are really solid. The medium is the perfect spice for me. The tenders are okay, since I got mild it wasn't really flavorful and the dang sauce isn't very flavorful either. Food was made to order because it was HOT. The brewery area is very cute and fun but the parking situation is not great.

    Last time I went here, I was turned away since the owner was overwhelmed with too many orders…read more Thankfully I got to try it this time! They make their food to order bc our food was STEAMING. The chicken sandwich was a behemoth of a sandwich. I could barely bite it, but worth the $15! The bun was extremely soft, but the ratio of chicken to bun was a little off. Their pickles are sweet which is ideal with that level of heat. I got the hot which was perfect for me. The fries are amazing tbh, even after sitting in the fridge, they had a great flavor and texture somehow. I wish they put more sauce which is probably my personal preference haha It was a good meal overall, but not my favorite fried chicken spot. The burger with curry sauce WAS SO GOOOOD!! If i came back, I would get that. Smash burger patty with a pillowy bun - delish!

This business is not properly signed, and I walked around the parking lot twice until I came across it. I did decide to phone the order in since other yelpers said it takes about 20 minutes for preparation. It's best to get it to go, since the dining area is outdoors and sparse. I should mention it's a little tricky to get in and out of during rush-hour. As for the food, as others have mentioned, the portions are generous and it is cooked fresh. This is good restaurant quality food at reasonable prices. I should note, that they do not have a tofu dish or hot and sour soup.
