The food was delicious, but the customer service was even better. Diego Jonathan, our server, went above and beyond for us. We just wished the salsa had a bit more spice, but he gladly grilled some chiles to give it that extra kick. It made the experience even better. If you're craving quesabirria tacos, don't waste your time anywhere else, this is the place to go. And if you stop by, I hope you get Diego as your server. He'll make sure you're well taken care of!

Tejas Birria is definitely one of the best quesabirria spots in Austin…read more The tacos are freshly made, hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The consommé that comes with them is just as tasty and makes the whole meal even better. I've been on a quesabirria journey, and this is one of the places I keep coming back to over and over again. Definitely worth checking out if you love quesabirria.

There are lots of food trucks in The Yard and we decided to order from Spicy Boys. We ordered online and I walked over to pick up our food. The Crispy Asian Fried Chicken is outstanding! We got the 5 Piece Drums & Thighs with some Tingly Tater Tots, which is plenty of food for 2 people. The Thai Basil Ranch sauce was phenomenal. Pro Tip: Ask the venue, where you want to consume your chicken, if they allow outside food. Not all of them do.

It's one of those places that's hard to mention because just thinking about it makes you want to head over.

It didn't have to be all you can eat but it ended up being a lot of soups and plated dishes that we're very filling. There was a grill in the center but no one used it so I'm not sure which dishes requires it. I got one of the soups and it was pretty bland even after I added the salt. They gave me 2 strips of beef for the whole thing. No one else at the table seemed completely happy with what they got but the pancake was very good. They have nice servers and the environment is nice for a meal but I just didn't leave satisfied.

If your taking it to GO and eating later let them know and they will pack the soggy stuff separately. Once again we are in love with this sandwhich and its definetly a must ever time in Austin.

We came over to try blue norther but wandered around a bit and are so happy we found this place! We got two smash burgers and a shrimp roll. The shrimp roll was twice the size we anticipated and did not disappoint in flavor! The bread was super flavorful and perfectly toasted. The shrimp had a nice light sauce coating it but was not too heavy, very classic new england flavors. The burgers were bursting with flavor and very enjoyable, if im being very critical i would prefer a bit more burger to bun ratio but it was still really good!

Overall score 3.8 out of 5…read more Honestly, I'm probably being too nice with my score. The only reason I came here was because I had a 4.8 rating. Had the shrimp Poboy it was OK, but it does not come with enough Shrimp has some flavor but honestly, the whole burger bun is pointless. Definitely not worth the 14+ dollars I spent. Staff was very friendly Location is cool, but it is outside Honestly, I will never go here again

I frequent the Yard at St Elmo often since I live nearby. Most of the time I am at St Elmo Brewing…read moreand alternate between having Spicy Boys or Patty Palace for food so I don't make it down to check what's new as often I should. Reem's is located by Spokesman coffee and I recently was able to learn about them and try their falafel at a Yelp event, and it really was the best falafel I had ever had - well seasoned, perfectly crisp, yet light on the inside. Ever since, I had bookmarked it so I could try more. I ordered a Chicken Plate and a Falafel Plate for delivery to share with a friend. They both traveled well. The plates come with a side of tabouli and hummus. I got the Spicy Hummus, which I didn't get any heat at all so I would order spicier in the future. The tabouli was nice and bright from the fresh parsley. The chicken was okay but I think I'd try the beef and lamb instead. The falafel was just as good as I remembered and I can see myself just buying a side of falafel every time I walk by.

They were on a break, so I had to wait a little longer. The link to order came in handy vs me waiting to put an order in until someone arrived. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a side of falafels. My falafels were crispy and flavorful. The chicken shawarma wrap was the perfect size. The amount of meat on the wrap was really good, all of the ingredients were balanced well. The chicken was flavorful as well. I wanted to order fries, but they were sold out. There is plenty of seating available throughout St. Elmo. You can sit outside, listen to music, and grab a drimk from other businesses. I will definitely go again!

I like that they empower small businesses and entrepranuers by supporting new nonprofit organization each month and use ingredients from local Austin businesses to support the community. They have a food truck located in the AMLI South Shore Apartments that looks like a trolly. There are lots of picnic type seating. Parking was a bit of a challenge by they have a parking garage within walking distance. Service was friendly and quick, which always makes a difference. I decided to try the Blackberry Crumble matcha seasonal drink. The drink was very refreshing with a nice balance of sweetness and tartness from the blackberry. You still get the "crumble" flavor layered in, which made it feel unique and a little indulgent without being too heavy. Overall, a solid spot with creative seasonal options. I can't wait to try some of their other seasonal flavors. They deliver on their mission of making quality coffee while providing the best experience.

If you are ordering via the website/ fulfillment via DoorDash, you will be charged and Texas Sushiko will not receive the order** I had made all the errors above, and as a courtesy, the gentlemen who work there fulfilled my order immediately and gave me a complimentary handroll. THE ORDER: I tried the Spam, Hamachi, and Salmon handrolls, along with the Frito Pie poke. Unfortunately, everything felt pretty basic and overpriced, despite how beautifully presented it was. Good sushi/handrolls are never overpowered by flavor, but in this case, the seasoning was very subtle. The Frito Pie poke was essentially a small poke bowl with tiny bits of tuna, pico de gallo, and Frito chips.

Parking was a bit challenging and the lot was full and they charge for parking. Service was quick, casual, just good energy and fast turnaround. I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over.
