Birria tacos
Tom F.

Had some time to kill in Knoxville. Scootered from the hotel around town, headed across the river and hit Southside Garage. They have a collaboration with Dia De Good truck which was serving some bomb Birria tacos. For a California guy to give props on a TN taco is pretty hard but well done. Inside the grill is a converted auto shop garage serving cocktails, beers and ciders. If you lived on this side of the river or by UTK, this place could be your next go to spot!

Typical weeknight menu - it varies a bit

We love these guys in the Dia De food truck! So honest and accommodating and the food is damn tasty. Love the Sunday brunch options and daily specials - get there early; they will sell out. I get the shrimp rice burrito as a bowl (makes or GF) and I enjoy the chicken tinga tostadas (they have a touch of flour) but some nights I can only eat half- you get plenty! Also love Southside Garage and that raspberry lemonade vodka drink on tap. Refreshing and Goes down so easy! Lots of seating, a couple TVs to see a game and bocce courts for fun. Favorite weekly stop.

Great, diverse beer selection. Staff is prompt and knowledgeable. Great indoor-outdoor setup. I came here for beer but the know their drinks too. Plenty of TVs for those of us that always need it on. Highly recommend. Easily walk up with a group and enjoy!

I was so impressed with this place! It seems a little bit on the small side, but honestly I'm just excited for South Knox so have something like that! They have plenty of games and I love that there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The coffee and gelato stand being there all the time is an amazing addition as well. It's a win! Pro: location, atmosphere, games, beers. Con: parking, feels tight to have more than one truck.

It's a food truck park...I don't really know how to review a place that has different food options each day, but we've been happy with the selections when we've gone! They have a bar with lots of craft beer options, if you're into that, and a permanent gelato brothers location, so that's consistent as well. It's open air, but there are several tables in the covered garage area if the weather is less than perfect. My only complaints are- it would be nice if there was a little more parking, and if there were 1 or 2 more spots for food trucks (usually there are 2-3 when they're open), but both of these are limited by real estate, so I can't really fault them. It's certainly more convenient to where I live than the other similar Knoxville locations, and is very family friendly, even in the evenings when more people are there drinking. We'll certainly be back!

Nice place, good ambience, cold beer. The only downside was the bartender, who had the personality of a garden snail.

Found them due to the Knoxville Vegan Chef Challenge, so this review is a bit delinquent…read more We ordered the roasted sweet potato tacos as a bowl to make it gluten free. We also got the corn salsa and the habernaro salsa, which were both delicious. They were at the South Side garage when we found them, so we got some kombucha and an old fashioned that did not disappoint. Cody was manning the truck that day and he was so friendly, helpful and knew all about how to veganize their food and made any necessary adjustments. He even came into the garage to double check on preparation for us. He gave us service that was exceptional. The food was delicious and we need to find CM again stat! Loved the location and the ambiance of the Garage as well. The one downside is that the "location" calendar was a little hard to use since I wasn't familiar with some of the places listed on it and didn't know where those places were since there weren't address on many of the listings. But, I'm sure that's a software issue they have no control over. If you see the truck, stop! It's worth a visit.

I was at Southern Skies Music Festival yesterday and got Nachos with chicken for $23. An absolute…read moredisappointment basically a bunch of chips almost no salsa and a few cubes of chicken. Never again for this food truck!

My friend, who also is GF, told me about The Donut Theory and has kept me updated on where they are around the area. I finally decided to give them a try when I went to a food truck festival and I could kick myself for not seeking them out sooner! I love that this truck is totally GF! While I don't eat this kind of food, this will be my new treat on "cheat days". When I walked up to the window, I had several questions and the guy working was so kind and helped answer my questions as well as give some great suggestions! I ended up ordering the basket with chicken tenders, Mac n' cheese, slaw and the orange mustard. WOW! Is all I can say. Every bit of that meal was packed with flavor--the tenders were honestly the best ones I've ever had! You can tell they use quality meat and they made them fresh. The breading was light and perfectly crunchy. The Mac n' cheese has a kick to it that was so good! But my favorites were the coleslaw and the orange mustard. Also, I could NOT eat all of the food so I shared with my husband. He also really enjoyed the food and said it was very good (which is high praise since he can be picky). I didn't try any of the donuts, but next time--I'm going to have to! Also! If you follow them on IG or their other social media platforms, in addition to their truck, they are supposedly opening a brick and mortar building in Knoxville. I am super excited for that to open!! So, follow them, support them and eat ALL their food!
