    Bac'n chzburger ($10)
    Rachel S.

    Wow best vegan cheeseburger I've had! So many people have recommended this local Austin vegan eatery, and I'm so glad I gave it a try! It did take 20 minutes for the food to be ready even when there wasn't a line, and no customers picked up their food while we were waiting so it seemed like we were the only order. There were also bees and bugs that swarmed around when the food was brought out, so we ended up having to eat in the car instead of at the tables outside. I tried the bacon chzburger ($10) while my sister got the Hoss (bbq brisket burger, $12) which she thought was spicy but very good. I thought my burger tasted amazing and savory but also with just a hint of spicy flavor in the ketchup of the cheeseburger. Other than the long wait and inability to enjoy the food at the tables, we loved the food!

    Arlos was such a random find for me on Yelp and I'm so glad I found it. We were browsing some restaurants / food trucks in the area and that's how I find it. We got a jalapeño chicken seitan sandwich and it was so tasty. I'm a big chicken eater so it was so interesting to me, I'll definitely got this sandwich again. We also got their famous Mac and cheese, I've never seen it be so flavorful and I loved it. It was a little bit too oily for my liking but the flavor and texture was spot on. Do try it out!

    enjoyed an incredible dinner at arlo's. we tried their bacon cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, hawt dog, and mac n cheese. they make their food fresh on-site and everything is 100% plant based. you really don't feel like you're missing out on anything-- it was one of the best burgers and hot dogs we've ever had. mac n cheese is a must. honestly this is one of the best vegan spots in austin and is def worth a try.

    Only came here for the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was pipping hot, loved the crunchy parts of it. Overall it was gooey but extremely oily. The whole bottom of the tray was covered in oil. It made my stomach hurt afterwards.

    The bbq burger is one of the BEST vegan burgers I've had. It's actually not on the menu, but if you ask the counter, they'll make it for you. And the price is pretty good. The tots are pretty salty. I could only handle like 5 before stopping. My friend got the bacon cheezburger and it was very saucy. She said it was good, but unfortunately super saucy. It's a food truck so only outdoor seating, but there's a parking lot and lots of street parking so parking shouldn't be a problem. Highly recommend

    BAC'N CHEEZEBURGER (Add Mac)
    Cristian V.

    Vegan from my head to-ma-toes Highlights: *Vegan burger *Crispy Tots *Mac & Cheese on a burger Review: Highly recommended spot by one of my coworkers which was not a miss-steak. Let's start with the tots which were crispy, salty, well seasoned, hot and perfectly soft in the center. Now for the Cheezeburger, it was full of flavor, hints of smokiness, seasoned to perfection, charred, nuttiness from the cheeze, acidity from the pickles, saltiness from the bac'n, great texture from the patty and the Mac & Cheeze added some amazing creaminess to elevate it. Can't wait to try their other vegan menu items. Rating: 8/10 BAC'N CHEEZEBURGER (Add Mac) - House made soy free & gluten free patty, stacked with house-made seitan bac'n, melted cheeze, ketchup. mustard, mayo. tomatoes, onions, pickles. and lettuce. Side of Tots

    Frito Pie
    Anna R.

    Frito pie was divine- more than enough chili, bursting with flavors! We also tried the Mac and cheese which was pretty good. The frito pie burger was tasty- my husband really loved it once he got over it not being a beyond or impossible burger patty. We will definitely be back!

    The Ranch Hand
    Sonya T.

    Arlo's was just ok. Personally, I believe that food should taste good whether it's vegan or not. We ordered the popular Bac'n Cheezeburger, The Ranch Hand, and fried pickles. All of them were incredibly salty - I had to drink water after each bite. The Cheezeburger was way too ketchup-y which masked all the other flavors. And the burger turned into mush with food constantly falling out. The Ranch Hand is a chicken wrap with jalapeño ranch. I know this place is known for vegan burgers, but this wrap was the best thing we ordered (though very salty). The fried pickles were crunchy and came in a solid portion size. Overall, we left full but not impressed.

    We tried Arlo's before a concert at The Ballroom at Spider House for convenience. Can't complain for a plant-based food truck. They were nice enough and we were able to grab drinks in the venue and wait for our food to be prepared. It was definitely prepared fresh but I wish it had a little more flavor.

    Disclaimer: I'm a meat eater I had pretty high expectations based on the reviews and what others have said about it. The food was pretty lackluster. I had half a bac'n cheezburger and half a chipotle chick'n. My friends got tacos, mac, and fries. The burger: It was pretty sizable, but that's expected for $9. It had a good amount of toppings, but there was way too much ketchup and mustard and mayo. The patty was very soft and kinda fell apart into the bits it was made of. Due to the hefty amount of sauce and cheese, I just had a sloppy, messy cheeseburger experience. The chicken: It was drier and tougher, just a simple sandwich with not much to it especially in comparison to the overly sauced burger. The fake chicken felt like a processed, dense meatball and had an interesting spiced flavor. My friends got tacos and said they weren't that filling or tasty. The illusion of street or chicken tacos isn't quite real. The mac n cheeze had a strange flavor. The parking is good and the picnic tables are nice. You order online and service is average. Would I come again? Hmm... maybe with a vegan friend, but definitely not with meat lovers or anyone who has a weak stomach. One of my friends felt kinda sick afterwards.

    This food trucks is serving all vegan burger and hot dog options. We ordered the bac'n cheezeburger adding mac since we heard so much about it. We thought it was really good. It had nice texture and the mac added a nice level of flavor to the burger. You can barely tell it's fake meat! We also got the chipotle chick'n burger. This one definitely had more spice and flavor compared to the other one and it was my personal favorite. We added sweet potato fries as a side and were kinda underwhelmed. We were expecting way more than 10 fries when we paid $3... the fries were good, but just wish there was enough. It didn't even feel like it would've been enough for one person. Overall, I would come back for the burgers, not the fries. The staff is nice and there is a nice outdoor seating area right next to it. It makes me feel healthy after I eat it, and it doesn't leave a greasy feel in my mouth like some burger places do.

    Look at that tator Tots serving!! So crispy !!!!
    Jenny L.

    I had a cheese burger no extra bacon here and I COLD NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE. Not to mention there was also an awesome drag show in the background and it's inside my favorite gay bar Cheer Up Charlie's! The burger is huge! If you're not a huge eater you may need to split with someone. Tator tots are super plentiful and soooo crispyy!! The Mac and cheese was tasty. The flavor is a little too smokey tasting for my personal preference.. but the noodles were cooked al dente and it tasted like a smokey mac and cheese little on the drier side Mac and cheese not the super gooey kind . Best way of describing it. Highly recommend if you're on riverside listening to music and need a quick bite! They get your phone number so they text you when you when you're order is done!

I tried the chicken fajita taco, but unfortunately the chicken was pretty dry and didn't have a ton of flavor.

I can definitely see that being one of their staple tacos and would order that again. As far as the sauces, I actually preferred the red sauce, although it was more orange in color. It had a really good flavor and was my favorite of the two. The green sauce was a little too spicy for me, and I just enjoyed the flavor of the orange/red sauce more. I also really enjoyed the rice! It was flavorful and tasty. It was $3 for a side and the portion was pretty small for the price, but I'd still say it was good. Overall, I'd come back, but next time I'd skip the chicken fajita taco and stick with the pastor.

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk).
