Amazing halal! My husband gets lamb/chicken and I get chicken plate. The meat is addictively tender, and flavors are great. Quantity of meat to rice is insanely generous. They do drown it with sauce (which I personally love!) Hummus and pita are also spot on. You can always expect the same quality every time which is a bonus for me. Easily the best halal in south austin. Love this spot! read more

Stumbled upon this place thanks to Yelp and craving some Mediterranean food and this hit the spot! This food truck is in the "Soco Market" lot on SoCo and you can call ahead so it's ready when you get there. The guy working was very nice and food was made pretty quickly too. Both combo and lamb plate were great. White sauce is delicious. Red sauce is spicy so be cautious - we just got ours on the side. The fries were the only things that were super disappointing. Got seasoning on them but pretty tasteless and kind of undercooked? Not a fan and definitely not for $6. The plate portions are great though. Will definitely be back! read more

By far one of the best Halal food trucks in the area! Portion sizes are a bang for your buck too!

Soco Halal is an unexpected gem in South Austin. You'll get great service, efficiency, and most importantly, amazing food! You also get hefty portions for a solid price. I ordered the falafel plate and was happy to see the falafel being made to order. It was the best falafel I've had in a long time, if not ever. My dish was jam packed with flavor; the rice was so so good and added sauces were tasty. Overall: I'm really appreciative of this small business turning my bad day into a good one. It was well over 100 degrees and they're in the truck with a literal fire going, but were still intentional, kind, and efficient. My dish was definitely the comfort food I needed! read more

Delicious lamb wraps....second to none! The baklava was pretty damn good as well as was the service. Highly Recommend!

Late night spot on Congress. Guy at counter was helpful and nice about my gluten allergy. Food was very reasonably priced and the portions were HEFTY. The food was SUPER good! In a sketchy parking lot of a convenience store but some of the best food trucks are lol! read more

SOCO Halal - Chicken rice plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

I can't say enough good things about SoCo Halal! Every time I visit, I'm greeted with such warmth and hospitality -- it's always a welcoming experience. On my first visit, I was given a great recommendation that completely won me over. The portions are generous for the price, and the food is consistently fresh and absolutely delicious. You can tell they put care into every dish. Definitely one of my favorite food trucks -- highly recommend! read more

Wow, just exquisite. This is one of the best "chicken over rice" mediterranean dishes I've ever had! Can't believe I haven't been here until now. This is reminiscent of the BEST I've ever had (sadly haven't had them in New York where they apparently originate), back when I lived in Houston. A brick- and- mortar joint called Gyro Hut, if I recall. This is as good! Don't question why it has 5 stars, it's deserved, believe me! Dear financial advisors who tell us to cook at home to save money... forget it, this is too delicious to pass up! This food truck opens at 5pm, just FYI. read more

SOCO Halal - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

Right outside of the SOCO market sits a little white food truck SOCO halal. Don't let the small size fool you, this place packs flavor! I was shocked how tasty absolutely everything was to enjoy. Lamb, beef, the rice and even the salad had the perfect amount of seasoning and taste. These guys really saved me yesterday when the day flew by and all of a sudden it was 10 pm and I was starving! Lucky they are close by and open late. Shared some of my meal with Grandma and she also approved! Good fast service as well. read more

Amazing food, best customer service, and the guy that made our food was one of the kindest and helpful person we've met. My wife and I got the lamb plate, combo plate, falafel side, and baba ghanoush with pita bread. The only thing I can say is just be careful getting your food late at night. We got our food at 1030 pm and some weird guy came up to us for no reason and said that he's seen us before, but it was our first time there. ‍ (guys name is Damien) so just be aware of your surroundings, carry pepper spray with you, and use the buddy system. read more

god bless Mediterranean food carts still open after a long day at a music festival. Had the chicken gyro. Utterly delicious and a ton of food. Ate dinner on a wire spool down a covered alleyway while listening to two adorable Mexican kids playing while their parents worked at the taco truck nearby. Utterly charming. read more

The BEST rice with amazing flavor and falafel is fresh, crispy on the outside hot and soft on the inside. Reminds me of being in the Middle East! read more

SOCO Halal - Falafel on rice! Chefs kiss - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is absolutely awesome! I'd take a pic of the plate, but I end up eating it all before I even remember. Soooo dang good! The kofta is moist and tender with some good crispy parts on the outside. So good! The rice has a hint of sweetness and aromatics from the cinnamon that works perfect with their sauces. Chicken was ok, but the lamb and rice is one of the best I've had in Austin. And the FALAFEL!! When they hand you some fresh FALAF! YEEESH! Put it plain, I love this place. I was just happy to have some halal South, but this place is better than I'd hoped! read more

Love having this place in the neighborhood. The combination plate over rice was great and the guys working in the trailer were super friendly! I'll definitely be back read more

SOCO Halal - Combination plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

Overall, Very solid 4.5. Ordered the lamb and falafel wrap along with the SOCO chicken over rice plate. Very great taste for both items. The photo of wrap may not look appealing, but was amazing and loaded with plenty of lamb, falafel and toppings. Would definitely go back, probably would get a plate again. Typical "food truck near a convenience store" setting, so parking may be a problem pending time of day, only one bench if you're attempting to eat there. Pros: - Friendly and fast service - Prices were reasonable/great amount of food for what you pay for Cons: - Ordered both food items as spicy, spice level was pretty weak read more

This is a great Halal restaurant. The prices were fantastic. I always wish that I always get more white sauce though. Also, the amount of saffron I could taste could be improved a bit in the rice dish I ordered or the combo I ordered. read more

Ordered deliver on a whim ... so good! The lamb over rice was a huge portion and she flavor was great. Food arrived quickly and was the perfect temperature. read more

Wish I took pics but I ate it up so fast because it was so good. I got the chicken falafel wrap and oohhh my. So juicy and flavorful very generous portion. Bonus points from me for using greens instead regular lettuce but yah overall very good and full gyro. also had the hummas and pita and both were fluffy and delicious. The hummas kind of had a whipped texture/flavor to it but i enjoyed it. Service was excellent they seemed delighted to have us. Probably my go to Halal food truck now! read more

Get the SOCO chicken, really tasty. Late night service too which is great because sometimes I forget to make myself dinner until it's too late. read more

Wow, I was expecting the mediocre halal food i normally get from the other local trucks... but this completely exceeded my expectations. I ordered on Uber eats, and while delivery was slow- (likely not at the fault of the restaurant) the food was SO worth it. I got the combo plate, red sauce on the side, falafel order, and babaghanouj. The flavors were amazing, a huge portion for the plate, the salad with the falafel and the sauce on it was SO good. The babaghanouj did have a good amount of oil, but i simply drained some off and it was great. Absolutely recommend this place! It will be my go-to going forward. read more

AMAZING.... No other words needed.. however Yelp requires more characters! Lamb, Chicken, dolma.. delicious!

This was my first time here but WILL NOT be my last! I'm a big fan of Halal and am so used to the NYC halal carts. This is the closest it! Out off the trucks in Austin.. this is the one. The food was fresh and came out super quick! I will be coming back read more

Overall quick, tasty, convenient meal that deserves 5 stars. Ordered for pickup at midnight on a Saturday. Excellent falafel, both by itself and in the wrap. Lamb wrap was delicious as well. They gave us a side of baklava on the house while we waited which was also really good. I will definitely come back. read more
