No need to wait in a long queue, simply enjoy a seat outside and get called up when it's ready. I got the El dorado quesadilla ($9.50) and Al pastor tacos ($4.25), they were all spec-taco-lar :) I would definitely recommend it if you're in east Austin.

I approach with the intention of grabbing one or two asada tacos, but the menu and pictures I saw were too tempting, and it was hard to resist everything else I had to offer. The tacos were amazing and overflowing with carne asada, which is always welcome! My favorite, though, was the hotdog, which I was not expecting to love as much, but as someone who grew up with Mexican hotdogs on the south Texas border, it's nice to see these up here in Austin. We had a bit of a wait (~20 min), but nothing too bad as it seemed to be a busy day. We were hanging out at the brewery so we didn't feel it much. Staff were friendly and prices were reasonable for the area. I recommend you check them out!

I think the lady helping us described them as blue masa, chile, toasted, fried, and dried. The salsas were very good too. I got the lengua taco and a breakfast bean taco to try out since I wasn't super hungry. The lengua was so tender and delicious. I typically get a flour tortilla but after the complimentary tortillas, I felt like I should have gotten their corn since it felt like they made their own. I also got their flan which was delicious! I thought this was a lovely lunch and it was a bit sad to see it mostly empty. I think the food is delicious and the waitress was nice enough to explain some of the dishes we had questions on. Definitely want to come back to try the other dishes

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!

It's covered in neon signs, one of which has a different name on it. It's still very cute and there is a little patch of astroturf in front of the ordering window. There is a large menu on the side of the truck. Pick what you want, tell the person at the window, they call your name when it's ready. They accept card but i don't know about cash. There is no place to sit so you're definitely taking your food to go. I got the Italian beef shawarma plate. This was a very fun take on the classic Italian beef sandwich. The beef was tender and the combinations of flavors were unique. I detected another meat in there, though? It tasted like there was also some goat mixed in with the beef which wasn't a problem for me, but might be for you. There wasn't a whole lot of it, but it definitely had that tangy, gamy flavor that marks out goat. The sandwich was delicious. They're open late which is great because I often work late and am too tired to do much else. It's been over a week now since I went and I'm still thinking about that food so we will be back.

The fried chicken was cooked to perfection - flavorful, light and filling. The sauces were so good! We got medium spice level, which was pretty good but I think I'll try one level up (spicy) next time for more of a kick. If you're a spice lover I'd recommend that. I preferred the Kai Prao because of the diverse flavor profile and the addition of bell peppers for some crunch. Yum! All orders are served with a side of white rice and their house salad. A hearty, filling and affordable meal to satisfy your next Asian fried chicken craving.

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.

It's pretty well lit and they play good music (old school). The only thing I would say is they need to work on updating the heaters and bathrooms. Although they're locked, I feel like they need more care and the hot water doesn't work. I tried 4 (Habibi, Tacos, Pete's Cajun Seafood, and Coat & Thai) out of the 7 trucks and all of the food was delicious!

This savory donut's base was Gourdough's (play on words) signature sourdough donut and then layered with each of the ingredients. The layering of ingredients and flavors created a 5-alarm palate explosion. The donut was delicious...better and better with each bite. Wow, wow, wow!

I prefer the mini but they're sold out a lot which shows you how spectacular this place is. My go to is the nutty valentine. The donut is always warm, fresh, and crispy.

There can be a line on the weekends and they tend to sell out so keep that in mind. The staff is friendly and service is quick!

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.

The chicken sandwich was a behemoth of a sandwich. I could barely bite it, but worth the $15! The bun was extremely soft, but the ratio of chicken to bun was a little off. Their pickles are sweet which is ideal with that level of heat. I got the hot which was perfect for me. The fries are amazing tbh, even after sitting in the fridge, they had a great flavor and texture somehow. I wish they put more sauce which is probably my personal preference haha It was a good meal overall, but not my favorite fried chicken spot. The burger with curry sauce WAS SO GOOOOD!! If i came back, I would get that. Smash burger patty with a pillowy bun - delish!

Cousin's Maine Lobster Truck is a weird experience…read more It was fun to do once. I am probably not going to follow the truck from town to town so I never miss a single chance to get a lobster roll. * * * Cousin's Maine Lobster is a franchise of very very mobile trucks that sell lobster rolls. They also sell other lobster-on-top-of-stuff dishes. Their gimmick which I am not sure is a plus is to have no fixed location. They publish a list of places where the truck will be every week - generally one location for lunch and the other location for dinner. The Central Texas Truck could be anywhere from Georgetown to San Antonio. You can't just go there when you want unless you are willing to drive from Austin to San Antonio or San Antonio to Georgetown to get your lobster roll. * * * One consequence of being eternally mobile is that the truck has no regular or guaranteed access to a bathroom. You go to a brick and mortar restaurant - and the health code will require that that restaurant have a bathroom. Most food courts have some sort of bathroom - either one owned by the food court or one in a gas station or convenience store near the food court. Cousin's has nothing. So you not only have to plan ahead for when the truck is going to be within driving distance of you ... but you also have to plan to have done all of your personal business BEFORE you go to order from the truck. I do NOT consider this to be a positive feature. * * * There is also the issue of WHERE you eat your lobster preparation once you have received it. You could eat in your car. (For Samuel C that means a guaranteed necessary trip to a car wash.) There was almost no place to sit near where Cousins was located my day which was in the Yuppie complex of apartments near Oracle near Riverside. The park near where the truck was stationed has no park benches. I found ONE bench on the street mercifully provided by an apartment complex. Without that one bench I would have been scroodled. * * * I am from New England and have lots of experience with lobster. My personal opinion is that the way to eat lobster is boiled with a vast quantity of melted butter for dipping. The downside of a lobster roll is that the bread hides the taste of the lobster. This makes your investment in expensive raw materials kind of a waste. Mixing lobster with stronger tasting ingredients - which is what Cousin's does on the dump-ons - allows the stronger tasting ingredients to compensate for the diminished lobster experience. This is the way to go with Cousins. I did a Lobster On Tater Tots With Sauce concept and was not displeased. * * * Lobster should be boiled fresh from the fishing boat and eaten right on the spot. (For a related concept, see corn on the cob.) This is why people go to Maine for lobster and why clambakes with the shellfish just obtained an hour before the clambake make good sense. Shipping your lobster from Maine to Texas isn't terrible since the lobster is in water. Taking the lobster out of the shell and making raw ingredients for your lobster roll or lobster taco has started the clock ticking. As it happens ... The lobster gets old and stronger. This actually turns out to be a plus if you are dumping your lobster on tater tots. Eating old strong fish is an institution in Korean cooking. They like mackerel and other potent fish that pack a pow ... And aging the fish provides a taste Koreans really like. With lobster, aging gives you an ingredient that can stand up to being mixed with other ingredients. * * * This is all well and good. But it is not fresh lobster straight off the boat boiled and served in its natural goodness with only melted butter for a garnish. Some regional foods just don't travel.
