    Mushroom taco is surprisingly flavorful! Migas is aite...needs sauce to give it a kick
    Jodi H.

    Stopped by for an early dinner after studying at Seventh Flag Coffee across the street. Mellizoz is located in the same gravel area as the Gourdough's food truck. Service is the best part about Mellizoz! They actually mixed up my order, so I got the Migas and a Mushroom taco, instead of getting the fish which I ordered. They were so friendly and told me they would bring it out anyways. I wasn't too keen on the migas because I felt like the breakfast taco had zero flavor. We had to ask for lots of extra sauces to give a little kick to our tacos. The mushroom was surprisingly good...so juicy and so much more flavor compared to the migas. I wish their corn tortillas were a bit more soft/warm when they came out, but that's difficult to time in a food truck. We definitely left full and satisfied. They also sell merch and have tons of seating/picnic tables for larger groups. We saw a big family here and some families with little kids. I'd suggest saving room and getting one taco and a gourdough's donut crazy concoction after. I'm doing that in the future. Thanks Mellizoz, will be back for some quick taco orders.

    Fried avocado taco, mushroom taco, and the best ever Mexican street corn
    Carissa C.

    Awesome tacos that we happened to stumble upon! We ordered the best helotes (Mexican street corn), fried avocado taco, and the mushroom taco. The food was very flavorful, and we definitely didn't miss the meat! One star down for moderate wait time, but the flavors made up for it, and we'd definitely come visit again!

    Slow rider and padre tacos
    Blair V.

    My coworker raved about this taco joint and took me here during lunch hours on a weekday. It is conveniently located across the parking lot of Elizabeth Street Cafe and next to Gourdough's food truck. Surprisingly it wasn't scorching hot outside so sitting outdoors didn't bother me. The menu wasn't too extensive as they served chips and queso to tacos to tortas. I had the Slow Rider and the Padre, both served on flour tortillas. Right when I saw the Padre taco I knew it would be super messy eating it it was overly drenched with sauce. I wasn't a big fan as it tasted like a carne guisada and lacked flavor. The Slow Rider however was alright. I did enjoy the variety of salsa they had sitting at the picnic table, I utilized every kind to add more flavor to the tacos. Would I come back here again, probably not. I've had my fair share of good taco trucks growing up in San Antonio and this place serving Mexican Street tacos didn't meet up to my expectation.

    Breakfast tacos!!

    Review time kids! The ever so lovely bride and I are in Austin on vacation and hit this place on a whim. I'm hungry for some local flavor, sure a snack will do! Boy am I glad we did! We had variations of breakfast tacos that were excellent! Eating outside on a beautiful day didn't hurt either. I wish we had places like this in upstate NY!

    The Padre & The (Best) Fried Avocado Taco (ever!)
    Chris M.

    We did the South Austin Trailer Park tour this weekend, it came down to a taco stand showdown: Izzoz vs Torchy's. We tried about 3 to 4 tacos from each place, some of which were the same - - such as the Fried Avocado. In the end I'd have to give the notch to Izzoz, 4.5 to 5 stars. As for the Fried Avocado, Izzoz was noticeably better. They were fresh, hot, and tastes awesome. The Padre (braised pork topped with pineapple, avocado and tomatillio salsa) was excellent as well - plenty of pork filling! The Migas Taco was excellent as well - - I think this one will replace my former fave: the Mi Madres Vegetarian - since it's more bang for the buck and still great quality. My friend had a new taco, called "The Veronica", which was the Migas Taco w/ spinach + mushrooms added. He added bacon and dubbed it "The Pope". I really liked that Izzoz caters to their customers, and coming up with new titles is a nice added touch that you don't get at other places. If I had a couple of suggestions? Grill the tortillas instead of steaming them, and expanding on their sauce offerings would be nice. I liked their sauce, but was hoping for 2 or 3 choices - - or something similar to that Dona (Taco Deli). Regardless, since I can't rate them 4.5 stars I'll round up to 5 stars as Izzoz Tacos really do rock as they have the best Fried Avocado in town! I will be back!!

    This truck is in the perfect spot to get some really excellent tacos while you wait for the much longer line at the Gourdough's truck right next to it. - Migas Taco ($2.50) One of the better Migas tacos I had at one of these trucks, this was served hide and hot, which is part of the major improvement over some of the others. The copious amounts of cheese and tortilla strips really went well together with this one. - Bac-Spin Taco ($2.25) This was my favorite thing here - the flavor combination of eggs, bacon and spinach was awesome. The bacon and spinach were chopped up and mixed into the scrambled eggs, which made for a neat, really delicious taco. - Padre Taco ($3.50) Moving on to the lunch portion of the menu, the braised carnitas pork in this was delicious. This is a great choice if you are here for lunch. As most of the other customers seemed to be noticing too, the food took quite a long time to come out. However, I would take the wait over the alternative of faster service I received at other places where the food came out quickly and wasn't even hot. More than just a good snack to tide you over for Gourdough's, these tacos are worth a trip to this food truck park on their own.

    Brown avocado taco
    Gabriela P.

    Food wasn't fresh nor tasty. The guacamole tasted spoiled and had lots of brown. The fried avocado taco, the avocado was almost all brown. Our order was incorrect ( flour tortillas instead of corn etc )they brought us an avocado torta and fries instead of Guac and chips. When finally the guacamole arrived it was not good at all. Definitely the worse food truck experience I ever had. I wanted to love them since they have a new space , but Veracruz and other smaller trailers take the win.

    I have eaten here a few times now and I love it. Similar to Torchy's in both concept and product, I tend to prefer Izzoz because it is definitely less "corporate" and a tad more laid back. I love the Bowman - that roasted chicken is the bomb! Toss in their chill double-wide funky trailer and it all adds up to yet another South 1st winner!

    Order up!

    Great experience. We saw this place featured on TV (forget which show) and told ourselves, "Next time in Austin." Well this past weekend was that time and we made Izzoz our lunch stop on our way out of town. Our nephew (10), a very fussy eater, proclaimed "The Old School" taco "The best he ever had. Even better than mom's." Now his mom is Vietnamese, so I'm not sure about her tacos, but The Old School was indeed a very tasty taco. He also liked the garlic fries, and garlic is not on his "approved list" either. Thuy had a torta (pulled pork I think), and that's definitely a dish we would have again. The bread was treated particularly well; crisped up on the outside and soft on the inside. I had a "Fried Avocado" and "The Slowrider" tacos. Both were excellent, but the fried avocado was particularly tasty. I've never had fried avocado before and it was delicious. I would definitely order that again. The guys working this afternoon (8/4/2011 - Was one Izzoz? I should have asked) were great. They took a keen interest in our nephew's opinion, citing the honesty of kids. Next time in/through Austin, we'll definitely be back. PS. Izzoz is BYOB PPS. For pronunciation help, see the website.

    Great food truck. Great location, and lots of shaded seating at picnic tables. Excellent Tortas- both the beef and pork are great- and fantastic chips & queso. All day breakfast tacos!!! This food truck has been around for 10 years, and there's a reason for that!

    We got the Queso Bacon Tacos (4 stars) off the specials menu. These were great! Not very crispy, but it has a thin layer with a light crunch. That's the way I like my fries. Packed with fries and fresh toppings, we really liked this! We also got (I believe) watermelon juice. Super refreshing & nice.

    Just a quick walk to the food trucks and we were in heaven. Lots of different food options, reasonably priced and served quickly. We opted for the shrimp, shroom, old school and low rider. The shrimp was good, but I enjoyed the shroom much better because it had more depths of flavor. The old school with shredded beef was the bf fav, although the low rider with beef was also very good. Despite asking, the side of garlic fries was not crispy, but not soggy either. I go crazy for crispy, so wasn't thrilled. We ordered their organic green tea and lemonade which were both very good. Overall, a score, but I would order slightly different next time.

    The slowrider
    Elliott W.

    Since my trip to Austin 4 weeks ago, I have not stopped talking about how good the tacos from here are. I was only in town for 3 days, and I ended up eating here 5 times. It was the first thing I ever ate in Austin ever and it was the last right before leaving. Coming from Colorado, I honestly expected a similar type of taco to be presented to me which was small and somewhat bland, only being flavored by the toppings. To my surprise, I got the opposite. I ended up starting with The Slowrider that I am convinced had a half pound of braised beef in it that had more flavor than any other braised beef I've ever had. The cotija and cilantro complimented it perfectly and when I was done, I instantly went to order another. In the 3 days I got more slowriders, The Old School and The Padre. All equally amazing and packed with flavor and portions. Price wise to me was also pretty great given the amount of food you actually get per taco. I get the same prices here for 1/3 of the filling. The service to me was also great as they would bring out your food to your personally and always were friendly and able to make modifications to your tacos as you seem fit. The setting was the typical food truck scene with picnic tables out in front with decent shade from trees and rain with a smaller parking lot out in front making parking a bit easier if you can get a spot. I really can't wait to eat these tacos again, and I highly recommend the same to anyone else passing through the area and looking for a quick bite.

I have traveled to Jamaica a couple of times, this Jamaican food was the real deal. The jerk chicken was a bit spicey but not set your tongue on fire spicey. The rice and peas along with the cabbage was perfectly seasoned. The standout for me was the sweet plantain, spoken like a plantain connoisseur.
