Let's be frank. These sorts of food carts/trucks/kiosks are seldom sought out specifically for their own purpose, and almost always stumbled onto a few drinks in on empty stomachs. For that purpose - it simply can't be beat considering the amount of bad-to-mediocre pizza that exists out there in the streets of downtown Austin. They have variety (more than 1 veg choice), run-on-par with pizza slice costs, and are a welcome reprieve to the thirst-quenched but hungry midnight wanderer. My personal fave is the Spicy Black Bean empanada with the chipotle mayo. A savory (and truly spicy) treat. Vegetarian Friendly: 5/5 read more

I had this item twice at Austin City Limits: Spicy Black Bean (Vegan) $7. It was delicious, but there was no salsa for it and it was a bit bland without one. I was disappointed that the dough for the meat empanadas had milk in it, making the others completely off limits to me. I know from experience that there's no need for milk in the dough. read more

First off, the food was great. No complaints there. My complaint, and disgust comes from the lady that served me. It is NOT ok to have hairy armpits, wearing a damn tank top, and serving food. Hey, to each there own, but not when I get my lunch. It was gross and a waste of $11.00. Never again will I spend my money at mmmpanadas. read more

Horrible service - upon picking up my order the man with black beard threw my order and my empanadas fell on the dirt floor, the guy just turned away. The blonde guy noticed and didn't say anything. I asked for a few napkins for there are 4 of us and they literally counted and handed me two napkins.. what a disgrace. Never again. read more

My organization had this catered as dinner for one of our meetings and WOW was I impressed! As a vegetarian, the only veggie option they catered was the black bean empanada which was okayyy. I feel like it would have been way better fresh or even a little warmed up, but bc it was cold, it was pretty dry. HOWEVER the s'mores empanada made up for it 100%. It was sooooo amazing. I was skeptical at first at the combination, but I'm glad I gave it a chance bc it's now my new favorite dessert. I look forward to coming to the food truck and trying out the other veggie options fresh! read more

This is a review for the location at zilker park. After I completed my order and verified they take card payments, I gave the cashier my card and she informed me that the card reader didn't work. She handed me my card and didn't offer my any sort of compensation. A free drink or chips would have been nice. Oh well... read more

So I ride over to Whip In for a quick dinner and Lo! the Mmmpanadas truck is parked in their lot. The guy in the truck who said that the green chile chicken was spicy is clearly a pansy little sissy girl; delicious yes, spicy no. The pineapple cinnamon was great; nice light dinner for $7. read more

We ate at the truck at Mueller for the first time today. It was definitely hit and miss. My green chile chicken empanada was tasty. Not a great size for the price, but not bad for a trendy food truck. I also ordered the fried plaintains. The salsa that accompanied it was really good, but either they were fried earlier and reheated or they were cooked in old oil. They had no real flavor of their own and had that awful dirty oil taste. I let the server know. She was thankful and said she'd let someone know, but did not go above and beyond and offer anything else or a refund. We'd likely try it again if in the area, but I'd only do it early in the day when the food might be fresher. read more

I had heard many great things about Mmmpanadas. My friends had told me that it was one of their favorite trailers. They said the empanadas were stuffed so full and two would be a great meal. I looked up online to see it was one of the "best trailers in Austin." I was STOKED. I had tried to go last week but always decided to go around 2:30 or 3. Son of a biscuit!! The darn place closes at 2. Today I decided things would be different. I got there at 1:30. I figured that would be a great time. It would still be during a common lunch hour but not too busy. Plus, I wouldn't be that asshole who was getting there 5 minutes before close. I considered the menu and ended up ordering a Ham & cheese and a BBQ beef one. Now, most trailers you go to, your food takes about 5 or so minutes, at least. They have all the ingredients fresh. They just have to assemble it. Not here. Not even two minutes later, I had the bag in my hands. I figured these were kind of like a bakery item and tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. I get home and go to dive in. I went for the BBQ beef one first. Not much BBQ sauce or flavor. It wasn't hot. It was just warm with little flavor. It at least was decently stuffed. This was unlike the ham and cheese one. Generic hot pockets are more full and flavorful than this. Everything had sunk to the bottom and was kind of crusty. The actual crust of both empanadas were good. That and the dipping sauce they provided were the only good things about my experience. Speaking of the dipping sauce, it was the only thing that brought FLAVOR to my food. Now, I realize that I could have had such terrible luck because I got there towards the end of their day. That is the only reason that they are getting 2 stars instead of 1. I am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, if you aren't prepared to serve good, quality product up until you close, perhaps you should reevaluate your hours. read more

We couldn't find the place and when we finally did it was 2:10 and they already closed. the websites adress was wrong and we wasted 30 minutes driving around. Not very happy and i would've liked to try them. With the adress you can not find the place. Very sad. read more

I was tired and hungry after a long run through Mueller Park and then suddenly a mirage appeared to me: mmmmpanadas! They have a cute trailer and also cater for your parties if you want. The chicken empanada was really good. read more

I ordered three pieces that all tasted like empanadas and proved to be empanadas. Empanadas really aren't my favorite dish I guess.

Lots of awesome Empanadas to choose from. Its been a while since I came here, and cannot recall what I got here, but i had several and they were all nothing short of amazing!!! read more

I had the Chile Chicken Empanada at ACL and WOW! It was sooo good. It was flavorful and the crust was perfect. The crust was crunchy along the edges I'm definitely gonna have to come the find the truck so I can try the Argentina Beef Empanada. read more

Very tasty. I was a little hesitant to try it out because the empanadas I've had in the past have been very greasy and lacked flavor. These however, were not at all like those I've tried in the past. I ordered the green chili chicken. I think next time I'll try the ham and cheese or one of the veggie ones. read more

I really only make it to Austin for SXSW, but I always look forward to the food truck scene, and this is one of my favorites. The spinach and mushroom empanada is the bomb.com. read more

The first time I bought two chile chicken empanadas and they were delicious. In fact, they were so good that I invited a friend of mine to come and try them with me this week at the UT campus. My friend that was with me had never had the food truck experience before and instead of being greeted nicely and having her questions answered nicely she was RUDELY told to look at the signs on the truck (one of which was covered with paper and had "pumpkin" written on it). To make matters worse, the register area had the menu prices that listed the empanadas at $4, which is what I paid the first time I tried them. The woman taking orders then tells us the empanadas are $5 dollars, when there is no sign that says $5 and her signage clearly states $4. It is only after we point this out that she then proceeds to slap a magnetic sign on the side of the truck that says $5. I'm disappointed with the customer service we received today and with the price changing AFTER we had already placed our order. But what I'm most upset about is that my friend had to walk away with a horrible experience. The food is good but I will be discouraging my other coworkers from stopping by after this. Ridiculous. read more

Yummy!!! Wow! What a great food cart. Stumbled upon this at SXSW and I was so excited. Their name speaks for itself, however a friend of mine thought I was referring to a panda. Uhh....ok. Anyway, great job! I had the soy chorizo with brie and the asparagus prosciutto empanadas. Now I've tasted the best, so I guess I will have to try and recreate from home. Kudos on the fresh ingredients and the unique experience. read more

One of my besties and I grabbed lunch here during a Saturday of awesomeness in Austin. The woman who took our order was really chill and really nice, she gets an A+. The food was pretty good too. My only complaint is that the dough was just a little too burnt/crispy for me, but then again I prefer mine softer and some might like them darker/crispier. Nonetheless, the selection is great, and the fillings tasted delish! I think I got a green chile chicken and a pulled pork one, the two filled me up, but I could definitely see myself getting three next time! read more

Mmm indeed! Both the green chile chicken and black bean empanadas had a great amount of kick without being "annoyingly spicy" (you know, when food is spicy just for the sake of being spicy). The dipping sauce was really addicting, too. I'll just keep this short and sweet - nice folks running the truck, and a good value for a tasty meal (or big snack, depending on the time of day!) read more

Food is ok-not horrible like some of the reviews said but not worth writing home about either. I was disappointed in the cost of their bottled water though, The pricing for water was not on their truck so i just assumed it was the same price as the other trucks. She told me it was $2 for the bottled water and i thought "wow-that is pricey but i guess par with the others" but nooooo i was wrong. The same size bottled water at Short Bus Food truck next door was only $1. Why mmmpanadas thinks they can charge double for water is beyond me but that is the last time i am suckered at their food truck... read more

So good! I had the vegan, Chile verde and Argentinian. You can really taste the homemade flavors!

I just added their empanadas to my menu after demand for some thing to eat from my customers. I have been very pleased with the product. Kristin delivers right on time when I need them and the product is consistently good quality. Great addition to the Coffee Spot trailer located at the East Side Food Park. read more

Had the Argentinian and Green Chili Chicken Empanadas and was amazed at the favors and how they composed it!!!! Spectacular Saturday find in the Mueller area!!!! read more

We left after several minutes of being ignored and given dirty looks by the employee/er(?). All I know is there were ZERO customer service skills from whoever was at the window, but they were a MASTER at putting off bitchy vibes. If you're not open, don't be open. But don't be rude to people who want to give you their money. Mmmpnadagettinmymoney read more

I live at mueller so this truck is very easily accessible. They have different flavors daily and all I have tried have been great. Additionally be sure to try the plantains they are delicious! read more

I'm from Argentina so I was interested in their take of our traditional empanada. I tried only the Argentinean. The ingredients are right but the filling was overcooked, dry and not flavorful at all. I would go back to try the other fillings but the wrap/shell it's terrible too. It's more dough than filling, very thick and hard. The traditional Argentine wrap/shell is flaky and light. Thank you but no thank you. read more

I dream about mmmpanadas. One of the best food trucks in Austin. I absolutely recommend the soy chorizo and brie.. it's amazing! I've tried the mango dessert mmmpanada... a little against my liking, but I didn't really know what to expect. Anyway, 5 stars! The staff is friendly and the food is amazing. read more

Howdy Yelpers! I've been to mmmpanadas before. I've even had the spinach and mushroom empanada before! But, today, I was offered the lime-garlic aioli as a dipping sauce (evidently, it's only by request that you get it). I can tell you their spinach and mushroom empanadas are a good, solid and very awesome lunch dish. However, the aioli sends it into the stratosphere for taste! I will definitely be getting this again WITH the dipping sauce! I also had the blueberry empanada for dessert. HIGHLY recommend! read more

This place is right by my work so I've been a few times. It's good stuff, appropriately priced. The soy chorizo is my favorite, if only they would add more brie it would be perfect (albeit maybe not doable for the cheap price). Sometimes they are cash only, so be prepared. read more

Awesome!! Had a wonderful breakfast empanada that was full of exactly what you need for a great breakfast. Loved every bite!! Can't wait to try more. read more

As a vegetarian, I was glad to see our team well represented. The first time I had the spinach empanada is was full of creamy mushrooms as well as the spinach, and perfectly seasoned. The second time, it was chopped, slightly undercooked spinach, no discernible mushroom and pine nuts had been added. I'm allergic to pine nuts and it was not a pretty experience. So, I switched to the spicy black bean. The beans were so dry that I couldn't swallow them without a drink in hand. The ingredients (which I read very carefully this time) promised corn. I had exactly one kernel of corn. The beans definitely need a bit more moisture and a starch counternote. Maybe the soy chorizo/brie will be the one that satisfies. read more

Finally something other than Pizza! Green chili chicken and I have become friends. Great staff, and goofy personable owner. Good stuff. read more

We usually stop by the Mmmmpanadas food truck by Barton Springs Pool for the popsicles, today I got to wonder why I have never ate their food. My kid got the cheeseburger and loved it. Her friend got a reasonably priced corndog that she loved. I got the green chile chicken which was bigger than I expected and had a great filling to crust ratio, lots of chicken in it and super filling. The two things I was really impressed with was the fried plantain which was crispy, perfectly cooked, and not greasy. It was actually a plantain patty, several plantains crushed together, and went great with the mango salsa. If you ever cooked plantains you will understand how impressive it is to get that dry, non-greasy, fried texture. Best of all, they had pumpkin empanadas and after several disappointing pumpkin pie experiences lately it was great. Kudos to the nice person manning the truck today who asked if I wanted whipped cream for that pumpkin pie experience. She was generous with the whipped cream and we all appreciated it. I will say that the Mmmpanadas were super kid friendly which is great for the location which means not as spicy as I was expecting which worked out great. I plan on eating there again. read more

these empanadas are the best things since fried apple turnovers that my grandma makes! each one is made with love and i can't help but eat 5 at a time! the soy-rizo and brie is my favorite followed closely by the green chile chicken and black bean, and the chipotle aioli makes them 100 times better! the fruit ones are delicious as well! i suggest you get your butt down to the truck before the line is wrapped around the block and everyone finds out about this little secret! read more

Just a quick update: The truck was at UT again so I had to get my second fix. I tried the bbq this time. Top notch. Crust was fresh and filling was superb! Wowed once again. read more

My daughter and I split a black bean empanada. We both enjoyed the flavor of the filling though the texture was unappealing. At 11 she was actually the one that pointed out the subpar pastry crust as we ate it. A fine bite while we were out and about but I wouldn't seek them out again. read more

My family and I have been visiting this truck for years, and we love it. I wanted to write a review to both compliment the gal who always waits on me as well as to rave about the flavorful empanadas themselves. I mostly am always waited on by the same girl, for she has been working this truck for as long as I can remember, and I love her fun sense of humor, sarcasm, and her ability to work fast and get all of us empanada lovers through the long lines that can occur on a Sunday when we are enjoying the Mueller farmer's market. It's not an easy gig to work in the Texas heat and or cold winter weather when your only shelter is a food truck, but I'm giving a big shout out, three cheers and high fives to any and all staff that do so. Please remember to tip these hard working men and women serving all of us coming through the lines enjoying grub in Austin. I highly recommend trying the spinach mushroom, green chili chicken and or sweet peach or blueberry empanadas along with their yummy lemon garlic and chipotle sauces. Yum, yum!!!!!! Many thanks! read more

If I was judging on taste alone, I would say 5 stars, definitely. However, this was a blues on the green night, so one thing in particular peeved me. Yes, entrance into the event was free, but that does not mean I have more money to spend on food. I wanted to try a very missed delicacy from the land in which I studied abroad, so I figured why not get an empanada. However, I skipped the Argentinian and went straight to the chicken chili, best of both worlds, South America and Texas. Now for $6, I was expecting a giant meaty pocket to fill me up, however, I was sorrily mistaken. What I got was a $6 snack, leaving me unwilling to buy any more food since I was not trying to break the bank. You know what else I had... an empty stomach. It was delicious, especially with the chipotle mayo, but jeeeeeez louise- highway robbery for charging $6 for a delicacy from a country that sells these for pennies. read more

I've been to the food trucks at Mueller Park a few times, and this place is always closed, but I had been dying to try it. I thought I was lucky when I saw they were at Fun Fun Fun Fest. I ordered the Argentinian one with beef, and I was standing in line at another food stand before I could even get halfway through my mmmPanada. The crust was too thick and hard, and the filling was just plain awful. The woman working there was very impolite when I asked her to explain the menu also. This is a cheap knock-off of the Natchitoches Meat Pie (for anyone who knows what that is, you'll agree). read more
