    Awesome place with awesome prices! Highly recommend their hotdog (has bacon and a bunch of toppings) and their order of street tacos!

Stiff drinks, quick and friendly service and an easy situation to bring my kids and their friends...ALL great reasons to check this place out!

The menu includes flavors and fusions of El Paso style fare. Enchiladas, tacos, and uniquely French fried potatoes. The one thing that makes it short of amazing, and maybe unfair considering the carefully crafted fare, is the excessive saltiness. The portions are huge. Enough for two. The aguas frescas ARE homemade. None of that powdered stuff, here. I encourage you to go and support this local restaurant if and when you can.

I took a shot in the dark we ordered mini tacos, queso birria tacos, a burrito, and elote en vaso. It was all SO DANG GOOD. i can't believe I've lived near here for so long and didn't know about it. It was behind the car wash by the vegan yacht. They have flags at the entrance so just follow the flags!! They were nice and quick about getting my order out. Everything was seasoned very nicely and tasted so good. The burrito has beans, meat, lettuce, cheese. It's just so good! I will be returning soon!!!

    I recently read a list of the top 10 taco trucks in Austin. As my gringo husband is obsessed with…read moretacos, I shot him the list while he was at work. He immediately replied with a "let's do lunch" text. OBSESSED, I tell you. I packed up the tots and prayed that there would not be too long a line. I tend not to dine at highly rated local joints because lines are not so toddler friendly. Sadly, I am forced to eat at home or order takeout. Ah, motherhood. Made it there in about 10 minutes. It's easy to find and the online photos were accurate. I didn't expect much more. A run down taco truck with a flat tire. The woman taking our order was not so friendly. I smiled and chatted but she wasn't so responsive. Eh, I thought... I can live with that. The food took a while, but that was no big deal. We weren't in a hurry. As someone who really appreciates dives, mom& pop shops and a real gem of a taco truck...I have to say I was sorely disappointed. The barbacoa torta was pretty good but there was far too much fat on it. The chicken fajita plate was a decent portion. While a little dry, it was seasoned well and pure pechuga. My husband had the al pastor and when I asked how he liked he grumbled that it was "good". Not the best review from a taco junkie. All in all the food was what you'd expect from a taco truck. The real issue is the price. We ordered 2 plates and a torta, a jarriotos and a can of cola. She didn't give me a receipt and every time I attempted to pay her the cash she ignored me. It wasn't until I received our last plate that she took the dough and then she responded with a $29 total. Someone help me out here. Are shitty taco trucks charging everyone this type of capital? I haven't been out much since I had my last baby, but Jesus! There were no prices listed on the menu, and I can't help but feel like she was billing on a sliding scale. Either way, this chica will NOT be returning and neither will my gringo boys.

    Review: Fierce Flavors at Austin's Top 100 BBQ Tucked into a…read morequintessential corner lot, this Austin food truck isn't just serving barbecue; it's serving a certified experience. As a recipient of the prestigious Texas Monthly Top 100 BBQ Award, the expectations were high--and for the most part, they were met. The venue itself provides a fantastic, relaxed vibe, complete with plenty of TVs and a music stage, making it the perfect spot for chilling out on a lazy afternoon or settling in for an evening hang. The Main Event: Pitmaster Excellence The true test of a Texas BBQ joint is the holy trinity, and here, they nailed the fundamentals: * Brisket: This was Texas BBQ as it should be. The brisket was super juicy, delivered a profound, deep flavor, and possessed a flawless, great bark that spoke to hours of skillful smoking * Spare Ribs: A study in contrast and texture. The ribs offered a satisfying "good pull"--firm enough to bite but still falling cleanly off the bone. The thick, peppery bark was beautifully balanced by a slight sweetness from a pepper jelly glaze, adding a layer of sophisticated flavor you don't always find. * Pork Belly Burnt Ends: These were pure decadence. Each bite provided a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth experience with a distinct and welcome hint of Fierce Whiskers bourbon woven into the smoky, fatty flavor. They are so rich and irresistible, you know you shouldn't eat too many, but good luck stopping. * Jalapeño and Cheese Sausage: This locally sourced link brought the heat with a good level of spice. The flavor was excellent, though the texture leaned slightly toward the processed side, which was the only minor drawback among the meats. The Supporting Cast: Sides A great plate of BBQ requires sides that stand up to the meat, and while two of these were stars, one needs a little work. * Mac & Cheese: An absolute winner. It was cheesy, creamy, and featured an excellent smoked flavor that permeated the dish. The slightly charred edges added a delightful textural counterpoint. * Hash Brown Casserole: This was a surprisingly strong contender, offering a nice assembly of savory flavors. The secret weapon was the corn flake topping, providing an unexpected but welcome crunch, complemented by a satisfying hint of bacon. * Creamed Corn: Unfortunately, this side was the weakest link. It tasted primarily bland, despite a slight peppery note. It desperately needs some fresh jalapeños mixed in to cut through the creaminess and add the essential Texas kick. Final Verdict The meat selection here is truly Top 100 worthy, excelling in technique, flavor, and execution (especially the Brisket and Burnt Ends). The atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed gathering. While the Creamed Corn missed the mark, the stellar Hash Brown Casserole and Smoked Mac & Cheese prove that their side game is usually strong. Come for the high-quality, authentic Texas barbecue, stay for the great outdoor patio.

We got the chopped beef sandwich and decided to share it between three people since we just wanted a taste. Gotta say it was darn good & I'll definitely go back to try more. The beef was so tender and juicy that it really did melt in our mouths. The bun was soft and fresh and held the sandwich together well.

It was amazing being…read moreable to grab Tacos, Korean food, BBQ, steak fries, and sooo many other delectable food choices around you within mere steps. Parking in the close in garage is $8 so if you bring friends, it can price out to a decent price for friends and all to carpool together. Beers are $7-8, but the lemonade and ice tea is $3 with refills of $1. Score! I really enjoyed the food, drinks, and many many choices of desserts. I'm pretty sure if I didn't have a budget to not blow my allotted amount of eating out, I'd have one of everything and roll myself down the hill. Bring a large blanket to lay out on the grass, chairs to sit in should you want. Side note: they are sticklers for NO dogs on the pavement but they can certainly be on the grass. There were koozies given out by Austin Brew Company and paper fans and bug repellant, as well as doggy treats and doggy poop bags from the nearby highrise, The Catherine, marketing their beautiful new place to live. I'm sad they're done for 2015 but cannot wait to see this event back next year! Foodies rejoice, this town has got it goin' down! Beer in one hand, food in the other. Hot summer day, relaxing and listening to the Austin people play some music and your dogs frolic around!

    Tips and tricks: Mainly tips. What you can expect when you go to make a more pleasurable…read moreexperience: Going with your pet don't forget his or her water bowl and water: 1. Always have a friend with you (safety first at night, someone to sit with your things and pet). If you have a pet don't bother going up the stairs they won't let you. They watch you like a hawk even before you get near the steps. 2.Cheaper to bring your own cooler of drinks. Especially if you are coming up from taking your dog for a walk along the trail down below. 3. Be prepared to hurry up and wait. 4. keep eyes on the prize, if you want to get food from a truck watch when it dies down a bit. 5. they won't have a full menu, possibly because there's a lot of people and would probably cause a longer wait time than the usual. 6. May be helpful to bring blanket, or chair, and napkins (paper towels or wash cloth or some wipes) just in case. 7. Prepare to spend some money for both food and parking. Those are the reasons why I'm at a toss up on going sometimes. So I've been there on a weekend (they had it on a weekend once) and I've been here on the actual tuesday. They trucks change each time. I like that we can atleast say we have tried it and got an idea of what the truck is like. The prices are a bit high for what you get. It's just a great thing to do if you are social or want to be social or to meet up with friends under the stars or to have a romantic fun time. If you can't handle that maybe you need to go visit them at their regular places and enjoy the truck experience more there. hope that helps.
