    Tacos de Bistek

    The taco special is so good, super convenient to place your order over the phone and pick up in less than 7 minutes!

    Solid Tacos coming from a tiny trailer...Service was good...Tortillas were really good...picked up 3 Bacon , Egg and Cheese...Hot, fresh and cheesy...Hot sauce had a great kick. We were headed out for a walk at St. Edwards and these hit the spot...Would definitely go back. Lot of ToGo traffic.

    Honestly, I'm from the valley near the border of Mexico so finding semi decent Mexican tacos around Austin is impossible. La traila on the other hand really impressed me, their tortillas are super fresh and just how homemade Mexican tortillas should taste like. The inside was a omelette of goodness. I got el flako which is eggs, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, onion, and cheese served with real salsa verde. If you go YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT!

    Do you like breakfast tacos? You live in Austin, of course you like Breakfast Tacos. Well then taco lover, you already know there are about a million choices in Austin when it comes to eggs wrapped in a tortilla. You can go ahead and add one more option to that already expansive list. La Trailá may not be the most exciting place, and it might not do anything really new or different, but damn it is pretty good. They have all the standard egg + meat (or potato, if you're into that) tacos as well as a few big specialty tacos. They also have this great spicy green salsa that is quite delicious. The tortillas are apparently all handmade as well, and that's pretty rad. The cost is pretty good as well. I pay roughly $1.50 for a eggs/meat taco, and roughly $2.75 for a eggs/meat/taters/avocado taco. So, La Trailá is pretty great even if it's pretty unexciting. If you happen to be driving down Mesa you should stop by and give it a shot. Oh yeah, and they are cash only... so make sure you bring some green paper.

    These are the most heavenly tacos. Ever. Came here on a whim when the line at Torchy's was ridiculously long and I'm officially hooked. Everything tastes super fresh and the prices are great! My favorite by far are the al pastor tacos. This place is truly a hidden gem.

    La traila and Yerba mate. That's my morning ritual.

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.

They said it would be about 20 minutes for food since they were slammed, but I appreciate knowing it was made to order, so no problems there. Tried the Kaeng Panaeng and it was good overall. Huge portion size but wasn't quite what I was expecting. Salad was pretty standard but I'm glad they kept it separate so it wouldn't wilt from the heat. As for the chicken, I was hoping by itself it would be more thai inspired/marinated/seasoned but it's effectively just chopped up chicken tenders to be dunked in the curry. The curry is flavorful, albeit a bit watery, which I wish was reduced a bit. But if curry is not your thing, my friend's Kai Zabb was very good: tangy, sweet and heat all at once, so good to really switch up bites. And while I wasn't expecting sticky rice, I can't help but say it's the first time I've had thai fried chicken without it. All in all, I think its a great new place to try out, but if you've had thai fried chicken before, just temper your expectations.

    I think we are officially obsessed with food trucks. Hamilton Park food trucks are our favorites…read more We usually Yelp what we want to eat. Lately, our top rated Yelp reviews are with food trucks. Today we were in the mood for Pad Thai, which brought us to Weladee Thai Kitchen. Weladee means "good times" in Thai. Interestingly, Weladee Thai kitchen has three entrees Pad Thai,Tom Kha and Pad Ka Pro. Pina, the owner, said she used to have 5 menu items but all she can handle currently is 3. She is the only one working in the food truck. Pina was super friendly and personable. Now, for the Pad Thai...the box felt very heavy. It was enough Pad Thai in the box to feed 3 hungry people. The noodles were fresh, soft and flavored well. There were big chunks of chicken in the Pad Thai and it was extra tender. The meal was at the perfect spice level. The food court tables had no visitors. Today the temperature is 95 degrees, i. e, sizzling hot vibe.

Then there's my newest favorite Thai Cuisine by my house... their tofu and veggies Pad Thai is next level and it's been a regular for our family for a li g time. Ok so then my daughter told me about the Pad Thai at Weladee, a trailer at a cute little food park on Hamilton Ln off North 183 and now I'm 100% HOOOOOOOKED! They've ruined me and I don't see how I can ever go back to the others!!! The sweet young lady that runs the place knows her stuff and works her butt off provide the best quality authentic Pad Thai available. They have limited hours and a limited specialty menu... but it's worth the wait and well worth the price. Just GO!!! I had it for dinner tonight and can't wait to beat up the leftovers tomorrow. It's that good!

    Came in for lunch and i'm so happy I gave this place a chance…read more I side is filled with a bar, large tables and a few half tables/ half booths. We were served with tostadas and 3 different salsas which were very authentic and flavorful. Full bar avaliable. I had a frozen chamoy mango rita, perfect amount of sweetness and liquor! We shared the Civiche levanta Muertos- flavor was great however for 26$ there wasn't much seafood in there. We also shared the enchiladas de camaron it was so delicious, however I do feel the shrimp could have been a little more cooked. The enchilada sauce was very creamy and flavorful with a little kick. 10/10 recommend. The waitress was kind and attentive. will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

I don't know if it was the way I dressed or looked, but he didn't seem very happy to serve his first customer of the day. 2. The location is a little "ghetto" for such a fancy restaurant. That's it! That's the bad list. On to the positives. OMG the food tho! I was upset that I had to pay $11 for one taco, but let me tell you, once the plate hit the table the magic began! The presentation was beautiful! I almost did not want to eat it because it looked so pretty. Then I took a bite...holy hell it was amazing! I had a Ratatouille, Anton Ego moment (if you have kids, you know). It was the best taco I've ever had! That's all I can say. And then came the deserts...holy sweet bearded baby Jesus it was Out-Freakin-Standing!!! I almost threw my glasses across the room! We ordered two different deserts and they were both out of this WORLD! I am only giving this place three stars because of the server and the location. But, if you can get pasted those things, you'll have at least a 4.5 star experience. Enjoy!
