# Hidden Gem in the Mountains: Tri La Bite Food Truck **Location:** Alpine, Texas (Deep in the Mountains) **Rating:** (5/5 Stars) Sometimes the best culinary discoveries happen when you least expect them. Tucked away in the rugged mountains surrounding Alpine, Texas, sits a little food truck that's redefining what roadside dining can be. Tri La Bite isn't just serving food - they're creating an experience that'll have you planning your next mountain road trip around another visit. ## The Atmosphere There's something magical about finding a cozy food truck nestled among the dramatic landscapes of West Texas. The mountain backdrop creates an almost cinematic setting that makes every bite taste better. It's the kind of place that reminds you why food trucks exist - to bring exceptional eats to unexpected places where brick-and-mortar restaurants fear to tread. ## The Service The heart of Tri La Bite is undoubtedly the incredible woman taking orders. Her warmth and genuine hospitality transform what could be a simple transaction into a memorable interaction. In a world where customer service often feels scripted, her authentic kindness stands out like a beacon. She's the type of person who makes you feel like a welcomed guest rather than just another customer. ## The Food **BBQ Chicken Sandwich** - This isn't your average gas station sandwich. The chicken was perfectly cooked with that ideal balance of tender meat and slightly crispy edges that only comes from true pit mastery. The BBQ sauce had just the right amount of tang and sweetness, complementing rather than overwhelming the smoky chicken. Served on a bun that actually held up to the generous portions - a small miracle in the food truck world. **Bacon Grilled Chicken Sandwich** - My girlfriend's choice proved equally impressive. The combination of crispy bacon and perfectly grilled chicken created a harmony of textures and flavors that had her savoring every bite. The bacon wasn't an afterthought but a carefully integrated component that elevated the entire sandwich. **Fried Pickles** - These weren't just good - they were bomb, as we say back in California. Crispy exterior giving way to tangy, juicy pickles inside, with a breading that didn't fall off with the first bite. They're the kind of side that makes you question why every food truck doesn't make them this well. ## The Value In an era of $15 food truck sandwiches that leave you hungry, Tri La Bite's pricing feels like a throwback to when food trucks were about accessibility as much as quality. You're getting restaurant-quality food at prices that won't break the bank - a increasingly rare combination. ## Final Thoughts Tri La Bite represents everything that's right about food truck culture. Exceptional food, genuine hospitality, fair prices, and a location that turns a meal into an adventure. Whether you're a local or just passing through the mountains of West Texas, this little truck deserves a spot on your must-visit list. From two travelers who've eaten their way across California and beyond, Tri La Bite earns our highest recommendation. Sometimes the best meals happen in the most unexpected places, and this mountain gem proves that point beautifully. **Pro Tip:** Bring cash and your appetite - and maybe plan to stay a while to soak in those mountain views while you eat. *Love from California* read more

My favorite! Food is always delicious. Aaron & Katrina are special people with amazing specials everyday.

Everyone raves about Tri la bite locally so it is a must stop. A decent green chile burger with a nice variant side in fried okra. The bun was fresh and a touch sweet like a Hawaiian. There is not much seating and the benches are very low and uncomfortable. read more

Update: I like this food truck but they dropped the ball on chicken tenders. These taste like they sat in a box in the freezer and come from a factory assembly line. Hand bread those tenders in the morning for crying out loud. Otherwise, I'm going back for their delicious hamburgers if they are on the menu. read more

I enjoy visiting all the places I can find here in Alpine. I met a friend for lunch, and it was so nice outside we wanted outdoor seating. The menu has a nice variety, and we both found something to enjoy. Ironically, it's located right across the street from Sonic, but if you want a burger a step above, cross the street and come here. read more

Update: recently had the bean burger and it was literally the best black bean burger I've ever had. Please don't pass up the chance to eat here. read more

Actually a 4.5 rating. My Chipotle sauced grilled chicken salad was excellent. Hubby's Popcorn Shrimp po'boy sandwich was OK - hard to keep those little shrimps in the sandwich - shoulda just ordered the popcorn shrimp platter and skipped the bread. Super friendly servers. read more

Super tasty burgers with veggy options for vegetarians. Service was fast and had a good customer service. read more

First visit we had a wonderful chicken wrap. Second visit we ordered that again and were surprised by a green chili burger--too spicy for us--plus it wasn't what we ordered. Still really like their food. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite while passing through town on our way to Big Bend. The staff were super nice and made sure we got exactly what we wanted, making suggestions to fit our dietary needs. The black bean burger and veggie wrap are both delicious! read more

So accommodating to food allergies! I had a wonderful chicken salad wrap substituting lettuce for tortilla & no bacon or cheese! My husband devoured the green chili cheeseburger with a smile on his face. The fried okra was perfection! We ordered two so we didn't have to share. read more

Great place!! They make everything to order so it's perfect for people with eating preferences or certain needs. I had the chef salad with grilled chicken and it was wonderful! The lettuce was a mixed field greens salad which is more nutritious than iceberg. It had tomatoes, bacon, boiled eggs, onions, and topped with my dressing of choice! My husband got the Philly Cheesesteak and he loved it!! He also said the fried okra was the best he ever had. When it's made to order, things truly so taste better. I won't be surprised if we eat here everyday! read more

Jalapeño popper burger! Excellent! Not too hot, lots of flavor, I would have posted a photo of it but I already ate it. Yes it's a good truck but 5 star food and interesting selections on the menu. Worth a trip to Alpine Texas! read more

Tri La Bite - MMMMMM Good burger! - American Near Me - Alpine, Texas

They were open when other places were not. Fast, friendly service from a food truck in a parking lot. Looks old and run down which fits the vibe in some way. No worries, food was really good. Tables outside to sit down and eat or take to go. I had the Big Bend Burger and was really good, big and filling served w one side. I chose fries. Go check em out, some of the better food in Alpine. Bc food sucks in general out West. Sorry. So thank Tri La Bite. All seating out doors. read more

Great food and better people running it. The name and atmosphere is fun too! I think all the signatures on the truck are a review themselves

Driving to Big Bend, had a quick pit stop at this adorable little food truck. Don't judge a book by its cover, it was incredible. It didn't look the most welcoming/promising, but the woman who took our order was lovely and friendly, the food was OUTSTANDING, and it was a great bang for our buck! I got the pulled pork street tacos (a special) and he got the grilled chicken wrap- both a 10/10. read more

Despite the truck's appearance, Tri La Bite has some of the best food in Alpine! They're normally open Monday through Friday for lunch (11-3). I've eaten there many times and have not been disappointed. I recently tried their shrimp poor boy and enjoyed it very much. If you're in the area and hungry, stop by! read more

Absolutely wonderful food and customer service! Stopped on our way to Big Bend and was not disappointed, great burgers and fries plus okra.

Great food and atmosphere. We had Mac and cheese bites and philly cheese steaks with fries. For the Gluten Free person, they made a double cheeseburger lettuce wrap for me. Definitely recommend! Oh. And great Boba Tea! read more

My go to lunch every week (: Boba & sweet tea is always amazing. Probably the only place to get real, good catfish in town!!! Nicest food truck owners I've ever met. 10/10 read more

Love this place!! Brisket fries are my favorite and I love sitting outside when it warmer!

This food truck makes a fabulous green chili cheeseburger. I upgraded my fries to their bacon and cheese topped style. This was my only meal of the day! The husband and wife team were friendly as well... read more

Stood in front of the food truck for a good 15-20 min looking at the menu to only find out no one was there and the place wasn't even open. A little pissed. Why advertise your open hours and not be open? read more

The menu read well and was interesting. The person taking the orders was pleasant. The food was meh. The chicken on the Buffalo chicken sandwich was razor thin and it made me think perhaps they ran out of chicken? It seemed like the cook had a long day. The taco chicken salad was equally unimpressive- probably should have not ordered so close to closing time. I will not return, but I wish this business well. read more

My wife had the vegetarian black burger basket, and I had the jalapeño popper burger basket. Both were delicious! We also got a side of grilled broccoli that was very good. The only improvement would be to use real butter on the broccoli. Also, the staff were super nice! read more

I was visiting in the area and this was the perfect place to try. Months later I still think about the Mac and cheese bites. So yummy!

Always a pleasure stopping in as they tend to remember you and your order. They're service is on point as well as the food and service. Follow there Facebook as they change there hours and update there daily specials. Hamburgers were deliciously fresh as you could taste the quality of the meat. read more

Great tasting food and extremely pleasant service but get there early if you want any of their lunch specials. We had a Philly Cheese Steak with fries and a grilled chicken quesadilla. I didn't find the quesadilla spicy enough and they quickly made up a spicy and tasty salsa for me. Don't forget to autograph the truck before you leave. read more

Stopped to grab a bite here on our way through town, everything we got was great! Everything was tasty, cooked to perfection and just hit the spot. The woman that took our order was very friendly and pleasant. It was nice to get a quick delicious meal served with a smile. read more

I am eating this Philly cheesesteak as I type...so incredibly good! My first time here after being told I had to come try their food. I love that this food truck is so versatile and they have a little bit of everything with different daily specials. Super friendly people too! read more

We had the catfish and the platter (fried mushrooms, fried pickles, and fried Mac and cheese bites). The catfish was fried to perfection. I grew up by the gulf I know good catfish, I was pleasantly surprised to find good catfish like that in west Texas. I highly recommend. read more

This is a great place to eat the food is fresh and the owner is gracious and knowledgeable about the local area. Stop here you'll be glad!
