Chicken Burrito

Came here after a few people recommended. It's located in a very cool area with a bunch of other food trucks so you can try a bunch of different things. Ended up ordering the chicken burrito which was good. Perfect portion for lunch but it wasn't anything spectacular. Would love to try some other things on their menu. There is some indoor and outdoor seating so you can enjoy your food right there if you want.

taco compachano and birria
Darian C.

Their compachano tacos were good, the meat was cooked well and was tender. I didn't enjoy the birria tacos as much, the meat was much more tough and the cosume was alright. I would go back to try more of their tacos, it's in a little trailer with a pseudo outdoor area.

Chorizo, egg and cheese and Bacon, egg and cheese.

Excellent breakfast tacos made fresh. The flour tortillas are excellent. Thin and delicious. The eggs, chorizo and bacon tacos are perfect. Good balance of meat and egg. Hard to beat their prices. Service is friendly and quick.

Migas plate

Nice food truck with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Great prices. Service was quick, given three types of hot sauce. Only one dollar for a bottle of water.

Al Pastor Taco & Barbacoa Taco
Stephanie C.

So surprising to find authentic, tasty tacos in north Austin, and a food truck at that! I enjoyed the pastor and barbacoa tacos and their prices definitely can't be beat. The cashiers/cooks were very nice and playful and overall it was just a good vibe! I also like that they had enclosed seating area that made it feel a little cooler on a hot day. They also sell health juices made with pineapple, chard, spinach, etc. I didn't get to try it this time, but will definitely be returning to try their health juices in the future

We have tried many tortas in Austin, and this spot truly stands out as the best barbacoa torta so far. The portion is very generous--be prepared, it is huge. While the single meat taco was average, the quesabirria was quite good, and the consomé was exceptional, with one of the richest flavors we have experienced. The staff was very kind and welcoming; although they did not speak much English, their hospitality made the visit all the more enjoyable. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food and an unforgettable torta, this is absolutely worth a visit. We look forward to returning.

Breakfast tacos made to order
Steffie S.

I stopped in here after church for some breakfast tacos. You often find the best food at trailer parks. The place was clean, and the service was prompt. My breakfast tacos were prepared upon ordering; they were not sitting around waiting to be claimed. Delicious and fresh. My only suggested change is free water. I do not want to contribute to single use plastic bottles, so I take a water bottle everywhere I go. They declined to fill it, and that made me sad. A simple plastic water cooler in the dining area would have made this perfect.

Only the freshest ingredients here. Love the tostado. Or chalupa I like to call it. lol. Chicken fajita is the best. Don't forget the latest next door addition of " Antojitos Jessica" Fresh blended fruits or veggies. The Lunes is really good. Can't wait to try the Martes Thank you Jorge And Loyola.

Found our new FAVORITE taco spot near our house! Can't believe we've missed out on this place all this time. In a small food trailer park I've driven by many times, just never noticed I guess. We tried campechano, al pastor, barbacoa & bistec tacos. My favorite was campechano, then al pastor next - more flavorful 2 out of the 4. My husband also liked barbacoa which was super tender. What made this place stand out are the housemade corn tortillas and the refrigerated fresh salsas. Wish they were open nights on weekdays so I can stop by here after work to pick up for me and my husband whenever craving tacos. But we'll definitely be coming back on weekends!

This place is a little gem! The staff is super friendly and dining is shaded and outdoors. The food was delicious! My only complaint was one taco wasn't as full but the flavor was delicious! Overall we would come back! The price point is really good too!!

Overall it was pretty delicious and authentic! Also, huge portions of food! Ordering it to go was a good choice because we took the leftovers home.

I'd definitely recommend this food truck for a nice Thai fried dishes that are full of flavor and have generous portions.

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.

You literally can miss it as I did when I initially tried to find this food truck. It is located near Ruku mechanic shop and shaved ice food truck after your drive down a relatively long path. Pacific Flame Island Grill has been touted as the lead for Austin's most authentic Pacific Island BBQ. According to Tammy, the owner, this family-owned truck serves authent ic pacific island food from Maui, Guam, Philippines, and Okinawa. It was nice talking to Tammy as she was super engaging. She draws you in with the Pacific Island history, cooking techniques and family traditions. I learned Tammy's family has a family crest which is tattooed on family members only. You have to obtain permission to get the tattoo and only one woman creates the tattoo. She indicated that their family is mainly from an area near Hana affectionately called the divorce road to Hana. My hubby and I drove up the road to Hana, which was treacherous...many one lane areas where only one car can pass and many blind curves. While the hubs and I are still married, next time we will take a helicopter to the waterfalls in Hana. Smile. I ordered the Teriyaki & Shoyu Chicken bowl. The chicken was tender with a deep, smoky char that Pacific Flame Island gets from their black iron grill. The accompanying rice was flavorful and enjoyable to eat. Win, win...all the way...food and island family!

There's plenty of outdoor seating but little shade, so you decide if you want to brave the heat or eat in your car. The plate lunch is a classic and they do it proud here. It typically consists of a protein, a few scoops of rice and macaroni salad. I went with the Huli Huli chicken, which is more or less grilled teriyaki cooked with extra pineapple tang. They give a good amount of meat for the price. Food takes a bit of time but I appreciate them cooking it fresh. They got other classics like loco moco too!
