TL;DR: I would come again if I was already in the area, but I would recommend other spots to friends visiting. I had the San Diego burrito ($12.98) and really enjoyed it! My food came out super fresh and hot. It was definitely filling, but I was hoping for more for the price (especially as past Yelp photos seemed to show lower prices). The fries inside the burrito felt a big soggy, but I thought the carne asada was good. Flavor-wise, I relied pretty heavily on the salsa verde. This food truck is located in a really convenient location: it's walking distance from Trader Joe's, APL, and is overall pretty central. I think I would come again if I was already in the area and craving something quick. Street parking was pretty much impossible to find, but my friend and I just parked at the public library and walked a couple of blocks. There is some tables for some outdoor eating, with a wall blocking outside noise. read more

C'mon Austin!! Another total miss... We just welcomed the arrival of a new baby into the family and Grandma here ordered food for four through Uber Eats. Another rather spendy mistake!! $100 for three really LOUSY burritos, three street tacos (the one order for the 2yr old was WRONG and completely inedible) and two churros. Churros were the best part... the rest was overly spicy, each and every one a congealed mess!! I had the burrito w/enchillada filling and added ground beef. We love hot spice in our house BUT it was overbearing here. Couldn't detect any enchiladas in my burrito, mostly rice w/a shmere of ground beef and a few shreds of cheese. SMH. TRUST the naysayers, head over to Tacodeli and AVOID this place. (Sadly Cabo Bob's was closed on Sunday, 'cuz that's what we REALLY wanted.) read more

GLASS FOUND IN BURRITO!! I found a shard of GLASS in my burrito! I am absolutely appalled and very fortunate I didn't cut my mouth or tongue. My company placed a group order for lunch. Not only did they shortsighted our order, members of our team were left unfed and dissatisfied. It's shocking how little they seem to care about food safety or customer satisfaction.

I genuinely love this place. I live around the neighbor hood and I come by for Taco Tuesdays. In fact, I want to go today. It's your local taco joint and I usually order the tejana and the breakfast tacos. It's great for something on the go as you're working. I know the workers, they know me, and I feel like we are family in this circulating economy. I enjoy the tacos and some are overstuffed and pretty crazy however I can't complain for the price, the efficiency, and wholesomeness. It deserves 5 stars. read more

This one was a Lunchdrop meal which might have impacted the food since it likely didn't travel well. Ordered three "tacos" on flour tortillas since I'm generally not a burrito fan (yeah - it's lunchdrop so my choices were limited). Let's just say the "taco" option is probably an afterthought to rope a dope those of us who don't like burritos. The end result was basically three mini burritos (I mean "tacos") for me (carne asada, sea monster and Street w/ carne asada. The delivery rendered the breading for the Sea Monster (shrimp taco with cabbage) pretty mushy and the consistency of the shrimp confused me for a split second (thought it was fried fish). Cabbage was limp and didn't have the nice fresh crisp. Both the carne asada's were stuffed full of meat (the Tejana had the addition of pico, potatoes and guac (didn't really notice the guac) and the street was just carne asada and pico. Both had cheese. They obviously tasted similar with the Tejana having an occasional burst of potato flavor. Overall, I didn't love the flavors or the experience - the flour tortillas were soggy, gummy and sticky and the food was just oily. These three tacos were filling - and I mean it just sat heavy in the belly for hours. Red sauce had a bigger kick than the green but had a funky sour note to it that I wasn't expecting. In retrospect - I should have Yelped the reviews before ordering. It would have clued me in on the fact that this was Cali-mex and not Tex-mex (facepalm - I'm sorry but I just can't get into Cali-mex). read more

Reviewing again because I just love this place! If you're craving a taste of home as a Southern Californian in Texas, get over here. Ultimate comfort food with the San Diegan and the carne asada fries. I've been to the food truck and had it delivered several times over the years. My more recent orders have been amazing. Please never close, we need you! I would still encourage Super Burrito to add pico de gallo as the norm to the carne asada fries but I digress. Also...their salsa...YUM! Such classic red and green salsa, I'm drooling just thinking about this place. Be a cool kid and try some fries in your burrito. read more

Food Safety Concern Regarding Recent Purchase: My friends and I recently had a disappointing experience with Super Burrito. We all got food poisoning after eating from here. The young male working at the time was very rude, did not wrap the food correctly, it wasn't cooked all the way, and there was expired sour cream on it, which was evident from the liquid consistency. I hope this issue gets addressed to prevent others from having a similar experience. read more

For a food truck burrito, this was pretty great! We stopped here on our peddle pub and I can't tell you of a better food truck burrito that I've had. I went with the veggie bean and cheese burrito as I was getting tired of a ton of meat. It did not disappoint! Super gooey and delicious. My wife got the carne asada fries. Both excellent choices. I finished it out with a churro and couldn't have been happier! A great stop for a quick burrito and churro. Highly recommend. read more

Good tacos - also breakfast tacos any time of the day. So the tacos are good. Not great, but not bad either - just good. You can find good tacos in a *lot* of places in Austin, but then again, there are also a lot of *bad* tacos to be had in Austin - so yeah, it's good to know that these are good. The key tho' is to not worry about the menu - order them the way _you_ want them ("carnitas, with avocado and no onions", or whatever) - and enjoy. Incidentally, you can get breakfast tacos any time of the day, and these are *good* ! Lastly, there is a pleasant outdoor area, where you can grab a drink from the nearby "smallest bar in texas", and chill to music. read more

This place came highly recommended by one of my buddies. Very cool location attached to the same lot as the Tiniest Bar in Texas, just a little hut that serves cocktails, beers, whatever you're feeling. Talk about Super Burrito, this place delivers when it comes to being filling as well as the quality of the burrito. Hands-down easily a top 10 burrito place in my books, I could see this place possibly starting a brick & mortar shop one day. We each got a different burrito, but all were great, I don't think you can go wrong at SB! read more

I was craving a burrito so I stopped by the smallest bar in Texas to give Super Burrito a try. I went with the asada super burrito and was excited to eat since I was so hungry. When I think of burritos I think of something firm I'm able to hold in my hand and eat without a problem. The burrito I got was a bit runny so it was hard for the burrito to stay together. The tortilla wasn't tightly wrapped. The burrito didn't have much flavor and I didn't get any sauces on the side to put over my burrito. read more

You simply can't get a decent burrito in Austin. It ain't a thing. I used to rely on this spot for the closest alternative to a Cali burrito, but what arrived today was sadness. I threw it out half way through. It was a Super Burrito, but the inside of the tortilla was just ground beef and refriend beans... that's it. Everything else that comes with the burrito was "on the side" in containers - wtf. It always was soft and sloppy and not that great, even when I parceled in the condiments and items missing from within. It was a waste of money and I regret it. I'll never order from here (or anywhere else in Austin) ever again. I guess I'm on my own to roll my own burrito or only enjoy one when I'm traveling. Bummer. read more

Cute food truck next to an Italian truck and the tiniest bar in Texas, so it does make for a nice stop to get food and drinks. I got a Tejana and their complementary sauces were good with a kick. The tacos were a good size and will definitely fill you up, but it didn't blow me away. I only had one taco, so maybe the other tacos were better. There was an outdoor seating area which was nice, but besides the local business aspect, I wasn't super impressed. read more

California claims without the California quality, and this critique is coming from a native Mexican-American Californian! The meat was dry, chewy, and the all around flavor of the burrito was bland. The size of the burrito was laughable, being that I've had larger frozen burritos from a grocery store. To receive such poor quality coming from a placed called "SUPER BURRITO" is embarrassing and lazy. I won't be trying them again. If you want a solid burrito with proper size, flavor, and texture akin to what you'd get from a taqueria in the SF Mission District, I recommend a truck called Taco Brother on Brodie Lane near William Cannon. It's kinda far south, but WOW do they do a burrito right! read more

As a visitor to Austin, I've found that the supply of Mexican food is saturated. This quick stop food truck has ample outdoor seating and was a solid mid week, middle of the day lunch option. This place was particularly quick in putting the order together probably less than five minutes. I ordered a breakfast burrito because it was one of the only options with Chorizo on the menu. The other burrito was al pastor because the savory pork worms with the sweet pineapple. Also got a side of hot sauce. Definitely great price and well worth it. Would go back if I could. read more

I'm from San Diego, Ca and I love good food. While in Austin, I heard about this spot so I decided to try. I bought the "San Diego" burrito aka THE CALIFORNIA BURRITO for $9.49. First, the burrito is a lot smaller than expected although its in an OVERSIZED tortilla which is what filled me up... NOT much carne asada was in my burrito, the guacamole didn't taste homemade, the fries are the string fries NOT regular sized fries that we use in SD. I also ordered a $2.75 churro. Unbelievably disappointed as there was NO SUGAR OR CINNAMON on my churro but it did have some type of filling??? I fed it the local birds.... not sure why that's called a "churro" but that's what I got when I ordered a "churro". Overall it was ok but not sure if I'd return. read more

Or be spontaneous and grab a drink from the bar and sit outside on the patio for a bit. I had one pretty big issue with waitstaff on my first visit, but that was quickly addressed by management and resolved in way that they've gained a customer for life. Can't speak highly enough of management.

It was so fresh and kicking' with all kinds of flavors. I wish I had ordered another one. The avocado sauce layered on the bottom was just enough to keep wanting more. For lunch I ordered the Carneasada Fajitas with chimichurri and my husband ordered the Carneasada Taqueria. With my fajitas came a side of frijoles, green rice & flour tortillas. Corn flour was the other option. Both meals came in pipin' hot & the smell coming from both was very aromatic, zesty & spice. Amazing taste, flavors, just the right amount of marinade on the Carneasada with a hint of lime. It was so delicious while enjoying the ambiance. Our server was a delight and took very good care of us. We didn't order any of their alcoholic beverages since we were both working, but definitely we will be back to enjoy more food and try out their beverages.

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

In fact, we've got an upcoming reservation that's been on the books for quite sometime. They've managed to remain delicious, relevant and in demand 50 years! That's saying something. I'll tell you what that says...it says they rule! Reservations can be tricky to get but oh so worth it. The bar & atrium are fantastic and they boast a generous happy hour. The restaurant area and entire space are decorated wonderfully. Amazing artwork adorns the walls, they've got extensive art all about, vaulted ceilings and more. It's kind of like being in a hacienda. It feels like you're in Mexico. Truly. The restaurant and food are upscale without being pretentious. How refreshing! Speaking of refreshing...they've got cocktails and mocktails that will knock your socks off. I'm a big fan of the Nojito. My boyfriend loves the Mexican martini (it's primo). Let's talk about food. Wow-wee is it everything and then some. This is the kind of Tex-Mex flavor that sends your tastebuds into a tailspin of goodness! On our visit we did a salsa flight (we did 3 salsas), the queso (melted muenster and Oaxacan), Wagyu beef tacos, and chicken verde enchiladas. We did a spread like that in order to share everything. Food so good I'd give ten stars if I could. I can't put my finger on it but there's just something so special about the food, the taste of it, and the quality. It's just incredible flavor explosion bite after bite. If I had to guess, I'd say the food has been made with love, skill, and attention to detail all these years. Hence, their amazing reputation. Service is beyond compare. Hands down some of the best I've experienced in all of my worldly travels. Fonda San Miguel (Tzintzuntzan) is a dream come true!

Bonus points for the seasonal or weekly selects they have - some super yummy creations. While it can get super busy on the weekends and the ambiance can be a lil overstimulating ~ I'm happy to come during the week days when it's a slower and I can pull up a chair at the bar for easy, laid back dining! They also have a designated window for to go order, quick orders or call in orders. This has become my go to! Every staff member is always efficient, kind and professional.

The problem with Day Maker is the menu has such interesting choices that I generally wanted almost everything. Went with the Chorizo Benny and I will be back for that for sure! One of my fave breakfast items I've had in Austin (and ive had some good ones!) We also had the enchilada and Churro pancakes. I can't wait to come back and I'd bring friends/fam here for sure that visit.

There wasn't a line (it was a pretty hot day) so we managed to order quickly. We opted to split the Black Betty. It was huge!! I loved the blackberry sauce and fruit mixed in with the cream and sugar. This is one big dessert so I'm glad we shared it - honestly would be worth splitting a whole one amongst a few people unless you have a big sweet tooth! The staff were really quick with the order. There's ample seating by the truck which is probably nice for part of the year, but we were suffering on a hot summer day. I would highly recommend this spot - but keep in mind the weather as it's all outdoor and outdoor seating only.

I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over. If you're in the mood for dessert and not think about calorie count, then this is the place.

In reality, it was extremely hot and uncomfortable despite the fans, and there were pigeons constantly flying around the tables, which wasn't the relaxing brunch atmosphere we were hoping for. Service was fine...nothing exceptional, but no major issues either. I'd come back for the food, but I'd definitely wait for an indoor table next time. The kitchen delivered, but the outdoor dining experience made it difficult to fully enjoy the meal.

Sammie's has been hyped up on social media for a long time and I gotta say it's still underrated! I will gladly have Sammie's take the Pepsi challenge against red sauce joints in NYC/NJ etc. In fact, I've told friends and family that I am going to take them to Sammie's when they visit from there. We just had such a fantastic experience - everything..the vibe..the red light fixtures and the color of the booths and the floor..the service - our server was great..loved their outfits..really had an old school little italy feel to it. The food was much better than I even anticipated - as a guy who grew up on NJ diner mozzarella sticks, I have a high bar for them and these were magnificent. And seriously...taking the "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan and applying them to mozzarella sticks?! top 10 achievements of the decade. The chicken parm was perfect - well seasoned, proper amount of crisp..the basil on top...the perfect browning of the cheese. Also the lasanga was excellent..and best part - the leftovers..took it home and the next two days put them in a small cast iron and re-heated them..and the magic was right there in my hill country kitchen! Lastly and certainly not least - the cannoli...just look at the photo below.. I'll say, yes, the place is pricey but you can really easily split these entrees and then it becomes cheaper than a jersey strip center Italian joint.

There were so many new dishes that caught my eye, but I immediately gravitated toward the Creamy Crab Curry and it was absolutely the right choice. The curry was rich, creamy and packed with flavor while the fried soft-shell crab was perfectly cooked and added a great texture to the dish. Honestly, it's the kind of meal I could see myself ordering every week. My partner went with the Lost Recipe, which looked just as delicious. You can never really go wrong with fried chicken, and this version certainly didn't disappoint. The service was equally impressive. Our server was friendly, attentive and checked in regularly throughout the meal. She even brought us a complimentary crab pastry to try, which was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. One thing to note this place gets busy, especially during lunch so plan accordingly. That said, the food and service are well worth it and the menu is reasonably priced. Kiin Di has successfully made the jump from food truck to full-service restaurant and it's definitely earned a spot on my regular rotation.
