Falafel plate
Bhagyashree B.

This food trucks is located in a nice spot close to South Lamar with several benches and open seating area. Food is served in to-go containers. Both falafel plate and chicken shawarma plates were served with side salad and flavorful saffron rice. The mains were freshly made and served warm.

I stopped by TX Shawarma while in Austin and tried the chicken shawarma plate. It was pretty good, but I didn't think it was super flavorful. Pretty decent portion size. Nice staff!

I tried this truck once and it was phenomenal. The mix shawarma plate was really good. The gyro meat was succulent and seasoned to middle eastern perfection while the chicken shawarma was also juicy and slightly charred which enhanced the experience. The rice was perfect and if you don't like the salad well my friend you need your head checked! Most have tried a Gyro before and this ranks up there with the best. The lamb was perfectly seasoned, the pita soft and pillowy while the cold crispy lettuce, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce hit all the required notes. As for traditional sides the hummus was tasty and not dry as chic peas can be if not careful. I opted to try the Dolma stuffed grape leaves (stuffed with rice) and reminds me of some of the best Greek Dolmas I've ever had. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you want to be adventurous and experience Greek/middle eastern food. If you are experienced look no further to curb your fix! Bravo!

Solid gyro bowl! Rice was less salty which I appreciated since everything else was salty (the gyro and white sauce). Will be back! Very filling :)

We were passing through Austin and decided to stop and try TX Shawarma and it did not disappoint. We tried the gyro wrap, gyro salad and the chicken shawarma plate and all of them were amazing! The service was friendly and fast and the portions were generous! My kids loved their meals too and asked to come back again. We'll be sure to come back next time we're in the area.

I'm in Austin for business from So-Cal. Came across this food truck heading into the city. I enjoy Mediterranean food so I decided to give it a GO! I decided on the Gyro Plate and oh Boy, this was a great choice. It had everything from meat, rice and salad. The meat was perfectly seasoned, sauce and rice were perfect in balanced flavor... not too salty. And the salad was fresh, crispy and light. Perfect balance in my opinion. Real happy I stopped in. It was awesome!

Shawarma salad

I had been meaning to check out this food cart area since I moved here and finally did. I was a bit surprised to only see three carts so that was disappointing but we knew what we were coming for so it didn't make much of a difference. Anyway, we were also surprised to see that this place's dishes were all under $8! What a deal! I got the shawarma salad, and we also got the dolma and hummus on the side, which each came with some pita. The salad was more meat than salad, and a movie of it, and while tasty wasn't really what I was hoping for or expecting. The meat was a bit salty and I really was hoping it would be more salad. In any case it's a great deal and very tasty just be aware that if you're trying to be healthy and eat something light even the salad isn't really the way to go

Nice and easy for leftovers

Lunch is SO affordable. Like $8 per person for their plates. I love their falafels. They're delicious, perfectly moist in the middle, tasty and flavorful, and surrounded with a crispy outer shell of goodness. Veggie eaters rejoice! I ordered the falafel plate and it was so yummy. The saffron rice is DELISH and I love that my plate also came with lettuce, tomato and cucumbers. The weird part for me was the pickles. I'm not opposed to pickles, but the pickled flavor was a bit off for my plate. The portion size is great for lunch. I saved mine and I basically had a late night snack later that day. It's a solid spot where you can expect to be full and flavored up. However, it doesn't beat some other falafel I've had from spots like TKS up north and Bay Area falafel in CA. They're located in the same location as other food trucks like Manoli's ice cream (YUM. They have soursop here...I mean c'mon!!) and another truck. It's basically outside picnic table seating, so it's great for groups, date night, dogs and kids! Come one come all, basically.

This savory donut's base was Gourdough's (play on words) signature sourdough donut and then layered with each of the ingredients. The layering of ingredients and flavors created a 5-alarm palate explosion. The donut was delicious...better and better with each bite. Wow, wow, wow! Crunch...flavor...smokiness...crunch...flavor...smokiness! We have not had a donut quite like this one. Maria, our donut chef, boldly told us that it was going to be best donut we had ever eaten. Such a bold claim...however, Maria came with "receipts". Total donut nirvana... Gourdough's is in a food truck park with ample seating outside and a few of cushioned love seats. Superb experience...

Crazy novelty donuts!!…read more This place has over the top donuts that still taste good! Unlike some of the other Austin donut locations like VooDoo or The Salty, I feel like Gourdoughs is at the intersection between unique style and good taste. I enjoyed both, but def preferred the Naughty or Nice! I will say the Gummy snake on the baby rattler was a little dry. It is a food trailer, but they do have seating outside. They have Christmas lights which are very pretty, but I went at night in mid October so I wasn't facing the brutal Texas heat. They have really good hours, perfect for a late night snack. The workers were quick with our food. They call it out and you go pick it up from the trailer. I will say it looked mostly like paid parking, but we risked it & didn't pay as we were probably there for less than 30 minutes.

For me, the Chilaquil is the clear winner. Crunchy and soft, spicy and cool, just a masterpiece of balance. It seemed like special occasion food. The Machaca was a savory taco. Seasoned well, it also stands up very well to the hot red sauce. Migas was hard for me to recommend because I like much more salt in my scrambled eggs than Austin's norm. The tacos were overstuffed. It was difficult to keep the ingredients inside while holding them to eat. And the wait on a Saturday at 9:30a is at least 15 minutes once your order is in. People tended to order a lot at once! Completely worth the brief excursion away from downtown.

We went to Granny's on a Thursday late morning. There is paid parking on site…read more No line, so we were able to go straight to ordering. Order and food pickup at the truck. Throw out your disposable bowls and plasticware at the end. There is plenty of outdoor seating right next to the taco truck as well as the patio nearby. You can also go inside where there is a full bar. The tacos are massive so 1 to 1.5 tacos (splitting 3 with someone) was the right amount for me. I really liked the regular taco (Campechano). The breakfast tacos were pretty good and I would give the nod to Ranchero over Machaca. The crispy chicharrón was a nice addition for the Ranchero. I'd also recommend the option of upgrading to fresh corn tortillas. Solid spot for a quick bite.

I had the Migas taco and the La Reyna taco. Both were excellent. I loved the veggies combination on the La Reyna taco. I would want to stop in and eat these every week if I lived in Austin.

This tastes like it came straight out of someone's granny's kitchen in SPAIN. D E L I C I O U S. The menu isn't all vegan, but they've done an incredible job offering both traditional and vegan versions without losing any soul. Am I in heaven? Yes. The owner makes it a point to connect with customers, which was refreshing. You can tell this is passion-driven. You order via QR code at your table, then pick up out back when it's ready--easy. Everything is prepped daily in a Commercial kitchen and finished on the truck, and he proudly shared that the ingredients, spices, even the meats are sourced from Spain. Vegan paella? Incredible. Patatas bravas with vegan aioli? My personal favorite, sooo good. My husband loved the jamón serrano sandwich. And whatever you do, don't skip the sourdough rye with tomato spread. They also mix in a few Belgian items to match the bar, which adds to the whole European vibe. I already need to go back for the vegan fideuà and bombas..they were sold out, which tells you everything.

We would definitely go back! Thank you for keeping this Spanish food authentic.

I sat down yesterday to eat a $13 lunch special: brown stew chicken, rice and peas, steamed…read morecabbage, and plantain, and bit into a piece of chicken that was refrigerator cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. I bit it a second time because I genuinely couldn't believe it. Meanwhile, the rice was so hot it was still visibly steaming from what I can only assume was a microwave, drowned in a watery gravy I never asked for, next to the old cabbage with solidified liquid. I brought the plate back to the counter, explained the chicken was refrigerator cold, and asked them to reheat it. I'm writing this today with an upset stomach. I wish I could say this was a one-time issue. It's not. I've been trying this restaurant, on and off, for over 15 years, and I kept giving them chance after chance because I wanted so badly for it to be good. I first met the owner when he ran a food truck, before the restaurant existed. I was excited; there weren't many Jamaicans in Austin at the time, and I was happy to support one. The rice and peas was so bad I threw the plate away. Years later, I tried the restaurant location. I ordered curry goat, took it to my car, and found the meat flavorless, fatty, and poorly trimmed; basically inedible. I threw it away in the parking lot. I later ordered oxtail through Uber Eats: flavorless again, poorly prepped meat, and an actual rock in the rice and peas. I tried introducing the child to Jamaican food with one of their beef patties, and it was dry and flavorless. Yesterday I ordered the "safest" thing on the menu, brown stew chicken, specifically because I no longer trust myself to spend real money on anything more ambitious here. I still got food that had clearly been microwaved and reheated unevenly, served with a piece of chicken that was still cold. Are we really selling microwaved leftovers out of an established restaurant with a huge kitchen? Jamaican food is something our culture takes real pride in. This restaurant has had a decade and a half to get it right, and instead I've watched it consistently cut corners on seasoning, on prep, and now on basic food safety. I don't say this lightly: if you want real Jamaican food, this isn't where you'll find it, and depending on the day, what you're served may not even be handled safely.
