    Boba and shaded picnic area
    Lowell O.

    I was navigating to a different food truck to order a salad for my wife and discovered this truck and a few others clustered together with some park benches and public restrooms. I will seek this place out each time I find myself in Buda, and will order from at least one of these trucks each time. Two of the four food trucks were open for lunch on Friday. Parasol and this place, Howdy Boba, which also sells poke bowls. Boba options are plentiful and they also have Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee. We wanted something that wasn't sweet or creamy so we got the lavender black tea boba and it was perfect for us. Poke bowls here offer you three choices: you base, your protein, and your sauce. Base options are rice, salad or a bit of both. Protein options are Ahi tuna, salmon or a blend of tofu and sweet egg. Sauce options are ponzu (like a citrusy soy sauce), sweet unagi (like a thick, sweet soy sauce), Gochujang (Korean chili sauce similar to Sriracha), sesame oil or ginger. My bowl was as beautiful as it was tastey! They top each bowl with a variety of flavorful toppings. A few of the toppings were non-Japanese (kimchi, pineapple and tomato), but that was fine with me, and the fried shallots were a very nice touch. Prices are good. Boba is $5.95 on its own but cheaper with the combo, which gives you a boba and a poke bowl for $16. I also love their "Howdy Boba" name and their armadillo logo. Very cute! So... would I come here again? Absolutely! I would give five stars, but I'm absolutely spoiled on poke and boba, having lived in California for so long. Still, this is a great place!

    I was easily influenced when I came here. It had been popped up on my IG and I really wanted to go. The downside is it is in Buda, and I live in Austin, so it took, and I wasn't disappointed when I got there. While looking at the menu I was torn between the Strawberry Lychee Milk Tea & the Strawberry Fruit Tea. Instead, being the creature of habit, I got the Butterfly Lemonade and it came with exploding boba. I enjoyed it. My daughter got the Sparkle Juice which she chose Strawberry. She enjoyed it and it had sparkles which she enjoyed and I thought it was great. There was seating outside the trailer but sadly the Texas sun was boiling and we waited in the car for our order. They brought our drinks out to the car which was very kind and I appreciate it.

    Friendly customer service and great drinks and boba. My family and I love it here. The strawberry tea with boba is my favorite.

    Yummy boba drinks.

    Nice drinks in a cool food truck area in Buda. Glad to have this boba option with some good eats for an easy lunch or dinner.

    I. Love. This. Place. Went here for the first time today. And saw that the teas here are dairy free. So I decided to get a milk tea. The strawberry lychee milk tea was AMAZING!!!!! I loved it so much! The gentleman inside was nice and fast. Overall it was a nice experience. The parking lot is pretty small. And there are three food trucks in the lot including this one. My fiancé loved the mocha tea so we were both very satisfied.

    Drove all the way from Leander, Tx to come check out this amazing place. Honestly loving the vibe and energy from here. My kids loved the Taro milk tea, and I'm a sucker for their mermaid drink (limited time) and their strawberry lychees milk tea, plus their taro milk tea, and their strawberry tea. Definitely worth the drive and now bringing my friends and family over when they come visit. The best part, they have cute events that offer cup sleeves and awesome music to jam out to while you drink all the yummy boba or have some Thai food!

    I was really excited when I saw there was a boba place in the area! There is a parking lot behind the trucks so it's easy to park and grab food or a drink from this food truck area. Their menu is limited but all of the items sounded really good! They were out of regular boba and said it wouldn't be ready for about 30 minutes. I decided on a brown sugar boba and strawberry tea so I didn't have to wait! The strawberry tea was good and the boba was also really good! The only negative was that it took about 15 minutes to get my drink, which seemed like too long for the 3 drinks that were ahead of mine. Overall it was good and I would go back to try another tea flavor!

    Matcha Taro boba

    When I tell you this is my new favorite boba place in Austin, trust I mean it! I love the selection! There was something for me, my brother and mans! I got the matcha taro boba and it was delicious! Also the little heart stopper was an adorable touch! The staff was incredible and were all so friendly! I will definitely be back!

El Calentano is worthy. For $16 before tax you get half a chicken that has been brought to perfection over a smoky fire. Crisp skin and meat falling off the bone with some rice, beans, tortillas, salsa verde with kick, and a garnish of both raw and grilled onions AND jalapeños.

As always, she made a great call. The chicken was wonderfully seasoned, had the right level of smoke, and was nearly melt-in-your-mouth tender and juicy. The rice had just the right level of seasoning, and the beans also had a wonderful combination of animal fat, peppers, and onions. Seriously, this was so good, and the meal also came with cooked and raw onions, as well as with cooked and raw jalapeños. Everything was ready within ten minutes, and the person working the truck was friendly and helpful. Not only was the meal incredibly delicious, but it fed two adults for right at twenty dollars. Seriously recommend.

Chunk Deuce BBQ is a Veteran-owned food truck, and it was super cool getting to learn more about Adam (the owner) and how this is a true family affair. Reminded my of my days of helping my parents at our family businesses while growing up. Not only will you be able to snag some damn good bbq, but you can even snag a sno-cone to fulfill the inner child in ya. Back to the grilled cheese though-- the crispy, buttery, Texan bread slices were met with the most gooiest amount of cheese. Stack some brisket into the sandwich and get ready for a delicious yet hearty meal. I recommend adding some bbq sauce on the side so you can have a dippable moment. If I'm ever back in the area, I will definitely be back for another one. Prices are super reasonable btw!
