Of course we had to try them! This is a food truck located outside of Hill Country Ice House. There's is plenty of outdoor seating. We were even told that we could wait inside (where there's cold AC) and enjoy some drinks. After traveling to the game, being in the sun all day, dehydrated, and famished, our eyes were bigger than our bellies. We wanted it all. The chef on site explained that they make their own flour tortillas and salsas, and fry their chips up fresh. We ordered an assortment including pastor taco on corn, bistec taco on flour, borracho nachos with chicken, and quesadilla. He even brought out some chips and salsa to enjoy while we waited. The starter was delicious. The chips were warm and crunchy and the salsa was something I could eat all day. It was fresh and flavorful with a very mild heat. The tacos were stuffed with the meats, onions, cilantro, and pineapple. They are fairly sizable and filling. Both the bistec and pastor were packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. The quesadilla was filled with cheese and perfectly toasted. There was a little crunch and a lot of cheesy goodness. The chipotle cream was my favorite. A wedge of quesadilla with the beans and chipotle was a heavenly bite. The borracho nachos were delicious! A pile of freshly fried chips topped with chicken, beans, queso, jalapenos, pico, aguacate, and sour cream. The chicken was so good, some of the best I've had. The chips smothered in queso, beans, and salsas somehow managed to maintain optimum crispness. 10/10 That chicken was fantastic. The salsas were fresh and flavorful with just a touch of heat. The tortillas were fluffy and delicious. The only thing I would do different is ask for more salsas and cilantro and onions for the tacos. We will definitely come back for more.

Borracho nachos, quesadilla (w/beans, avocado, sour cream, chipotle crema), bistec taco/flour, pastor taco/corn, red and green salsas.

Just to be clear, I AM somewhat of a subject matter expert. I have eaten all manner of fried dough creations from coast to coast, including Hawaii, and I have a lot to say on the topic. My favorite is still Cider Belly in Albany, NY, but I digress. The PB&J donut here is one of the best things I have ever eaten. I dragged it out for 3 days. Even semi-stale, and reheated in the microwave, it was still delicious. I put a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream on it which definitely helped. I also ordered a Heavenly Hash (one of my favorite ice cream flavors BTW) and a Naughty and Nice because I am all about the classics. They were both outstanding. No leftovers.

When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

We were seated after a three-minute break, and I ordered the Joe Lioni. The chicken was very dense, and it pulled apart with barely any force. It was the texture that all chicken strives to be. The flavor was a three-way gradient: Strong lemon; to soft, heavy chicken, to a slow-building spiciness that faded quickly and painlessly. I was finished with the first piece, and about to move on to the second, but my father and sister suggested that I eat some of the spaghetti. The taste and texture can only be described as the feeling on a hike, when you come into a clearing with the sun gently filtering through the trees, and you know and enjoy that there is more to come. Very subtle and light. The pasta and chicken paired more perfectly than anything I have ever eaten before. After I finished, I got the stracciatelli cannoli, that is, the chocolate chip cannoli. I was given the cannoli, as well as a surprise bonus: the Brown Butter gelato. It was amazing. It's the next step up from custard. The cannoli was crispy, brittle, and the ricotta was smooth and rich Scraping my plate on all of these. Like a dream. Prices were somewhat steep, but worth it. 10/10

I tried Indian Flames in Austin recently and honestly, the food was really good. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. The butter chicken was creamy and delicious, the tikka had great spice, and the naan was soft and served warm. Their biryani was also really nice -- flavorful without being too spicy. The staff was super friendly and the service was fast, even though the place was pretty busy. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, and the prices felt fair for the amount of food you get.
