    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.

    Great tacos, I always call before going so when I get there the food is ready. Cash only. My favorite is the Anderson and the Gorditas.

    Tacos are a good size. Not bad pricing and everything seems made to order. Bring cash, that is all the accept.

    BEST fast food burger place I've had in my life (maybe?) My usual order is the little buddha,…read morepoutine, and fries. Sometimes I'll go crazy with the mushroom burger and it really is a gigantic block of cheese, but you have to be mentally and physically be prepared for it. I've only tried the nirvana sauce and I don't ever stray from that.

    I had been to Buddha Burger when Yelp hosted an event there and really enjoyed it and happened to…read morebe in the area again so I stopped by. 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.

    We had Kaeng Panaeng here and it was really good! We ordered…read moreit spicy and it was a good amount of heat, the curry was a little watery, but I could deal with it. Overall it was pretty delicious and authentic! Also, huge portions of food! Ordering it to go was a good choice because we took the leftovers home. The lady that runs the truck is super friendly and engaging with her customers! I'd definitely recommend this food truck for a nice Thai fried dishes that are full of flavor and have generous portions.

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.

    Kai Zabb - Such a cool area to eat! It was much cooler under this covered area (which is also under some tree coverage).
