Shiv, the chef on board, recommended three meat bowl. I choose jerk, tikka and Mediterranean flavored chicken. It truly was an explosion of flavors and textures in your mouth. Each piece of chicken was individually flavored with generous portions. I can also taste the finely chopped onions, soft yet plump tomatoes, sour cream and another secret sauce. All of these meats, vegetables and sauces topped a bed of fluffy rice. My taste buds were dancing! Shiv was super kind and accomodating. There is covered seating near the food truck. They have a very unique food concept. You can buy chips at the gas station and they will add toppings from the food truck, I.e. like a Dorito or Frito pie with a spice tip. Give Krave Kitchen a try!

My boyfriend loves watching…read morethese reels of another similar food truck in Virginia that does a BYOB (bring your own bag) option, so he was literally a kid on Christmas day when I took him here after finding out Austin now has a food truck that does the same! Shiv was incredible and so, so, so sweet. He asked us for our feedback multiple times and even gave us some samples of their berry smoothie, which is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend getting Doritos nachos or the hot fries as your bags because both offered great bases. If you can't eat spicy, ask for more white sauce and none of the spicy sauce. I'd also recommend asking for more tomatoes. The chicken schwawrma + gyro was a fantastic combination, and there is so much food for just $12. I highly, highly, highly recommend coming to krave. They open late, and seriously, Shiv is the sweetest. Please support local businesses!

Nothing else really comes close. The chicken is excellent, but the fries deserve a special mention, they're perfectly crispy and coated in a cheesy, spiced seasoning that's completely unique and insanely good. I've never had fries like these before. There's plenty of parking, and the area is usually quiet unless the nearby brewery has live music. The owners seem nice as well. Seating isn't great, so I usually end up eating in my car, but it's absolutely worth it. HIGHLY recommend if you're a fried chicken fan.

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.

It was loud inside, kinda hard to hear people at the same table, good thing they do announce your order with a speaker. I appreciate all the cute artwork on the paper bags around the restaurants.

Both were super good and creamy, however a little bit too creamy for me. I had some major gas problems afterwards, but the flavors was really nice. I would say the yaki miso was my favorite just due to the overwhelming amount of umami in each bite. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Two dishes was about $40. Pretty great fusion flavors and

I love mushrooms and thought about trying the Laughing Buddha which has a breaded/fried mushroom caps with cheese in between, but it might have been a bit too much cheese so I went with the Double Cheeseburger. The double cheeseburger is pretty much everything you want in a solid burger. 2 juicy smashed patties, perfectly melted cheese, and a great balance of toppings without being messy. The flavor is bold and beefy, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. It's the kind of burger that hits the spot from the first bite to the last. The cajun fries were super crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, and the onion rings ended up being one of the standout sides. They were thick-cut, crunchy, and not greasy at all, with a light batter that let the onion actually shine. Both dip well in their nirvana sauce. Service was friendly, and food came out hot. If you're craving a classic, well-made burger meal in Austin, Buddha Burger is absolutely worth a visit. Value wise, I'm still a Buddy's Burger fan as they're also super solid, but Buddha Burger is great too if you're in the area. Do be careful going up and down their stairs to order/pick up order.

There is a good amount of hype behind Asado's so we expected some pretty good food going into it…read moreand what we got was something close but just a bit short. The lot Asado's is in is nice with covered seating and other food trucks all around. They were pretty busy for a drizzly Saturday afternoon so ordering ahead was a good call for us. The food took probably 30 minutes or so between ordering to receiving the text it was really to pickup. They don't have a pickup window as far as we could see so we waited on line and then grabbed our food at the front. The food itself was good but not nearly what was expected in relation to its hype, something that feels a bit common in Austin. We ordered a carnitas super burrito and a cheese quesadilla. The super burrito came with the wrong meat, instead coming with chicken that had a bit of a dry and burnt flavor in it. Luckily that was masked by the rest of the burrito which did taste pretty good. The tortilla itself was soft but with a little bit of crisp to it that gave it a nice bite. Unfortunately, the cheese quesadilla was a miss. The tortilla on it was burnt and very crispy, which some may like, but is definitely not our preference. For what it's worth, maybe this is just a style of Mexican food we don't prefer but either way if you fall in line with that kind of flavor profile then maybe have a bit more realistic expectations coming into this place. Again, Asado's is not bad, just not great. We'd suggest going for yourself and seeing if you'd agree.
