The smell from the food truck got us as we were passing by the restaurant and we were glad to follow our nose and sit down for a good meal. Torresmo Com Goiabada is very cripsy and similar to the roast park sold at Chinese restaurant. Coxinha is nicely fried. Feijoada is a bit on the salty side. It's our first time trying Guarana - Brazilian soda, frizzy and fruity. The owner is very nice. He brought us a sample of the yucca fries. I'll come back for another evaluation when I am in the neighborhood. read more

(4.5) FOOD// My friend and I got Yuca Fries, Pastel de Queijo, and Sunday House Special. The Yuca Fries exposed me to different world of fries. The empanadas was okay. The Sunday House Special left me speechless. I found the portion to be larger than my expectation. The first impression was wow then it gets better until it reaches certain point of being little salty for me. SERVICE// He was an excellent! he explained so well and knew what he was supposed to be doing! ATMOSPHERE// Food truck in Austin keeps Austin unique. SURROUNDING// I just love East Austin neighborhood. read more

It's not every day that I have Brazilian food so I was totally down when my friend recommended this food truck for lunch. We went on a Saturday and they're located in a "food truck park" with two other food trucks. There are a couple picnic tables where you can eat and some parking spots by the fence. The service was really friendly. We shared a cheese empanada, yucca fries, and the picanha which comes with rice and beans, onions, and a fried egg. The picanha is a cut of beef which is a Brazilian specialty. We asked for it medium but it came out more medium rare. Still a quality cut of beef and it was a little crispy on the edges and sprinkled with some Brazilian seasoning. The empanadas were also great but my favorite part of the meal were the yucca fries. Perfectly fried with a tasty dipping sauce. Got a Brazilian ginger soda to wash it all down. Mosquitos kept on trying to join in on our meal which wasn't so nice but it was a great meal all-around! read more

When it's 95+ degrees outside, there aren't many things that'll get me out of the house and into my car, let alone actually walking outside. So naturally, the thought of getting my neck burned while sitting near a hot steaming kitchen isn't at all attractive. And I hate Austin food trailers. I hate how they're one of the things that can get me into the blazing heat. I hate how sweating over a plate of food doesn't bother me as much as it should. And I hate how I can so willingly risk getting a burnt neck just to savor what Chef Fernando has to offer. Let's get serious now. Before our food was delivered, we instantly got a heavy dose of their customer service. Our original plan was to order the Picanha Grelhada, the Feijoada Completa (a Sunday special), and Yuca fries. Because both entrees come with a side of rice and beans, he offered to sub one of them with Yuca fries, which would free us up to try another appetizer. For a dollar more, we got to taste the Coxihna. Trying all the things! With plenty of shade underneath the table umbrella, we dug into the Coxihna and the Yuca fries. Both were wonderfully fried, having a super crunchy exterior without being coated in oil. Flavors were excellent as well. I personally thought there was too much cream cheese in the Coxihna so I wasn't a huge fan of that. The steak in the Picanha Grelhada was absolutely delicious. Presented on a wooden board, the steak was sliced up with a sunny side up egg on top. Speaking my language! Based on the color, the steak was definitely closer to medium than medium rare, but the tenderness was not lost and the flavors were great. The spices in the steak all came together wonderfully. The Feijoada Completa had a ton of stuff going on. Although there was just one rib, it was super tender, no knives needed. The rice and beans with sausage were delicious, and whoa, the orange slice was super juicy! Home runs all around! Chef Fernando even brought us a complimentary truffle to finish off the meal. A caramel center coated in chocolate. Very sweet, very delicious! And yes, my neck was just fine. read more

Blown away - delicious food, fantastic service, reasonable prices, friendly staff, and cute truck! We heard about this place from Triple D, and it did not disappoint! We had several appetizers and entrees and everything was awesome. They even gave us free bottled waters, a free appetizer, and free churros for dessert. My husband loved the empanadas and pork belly. He has had pork belly so many places and he thinks Boteco's is the best. There is also covered outdoor seating at picnic tables so you can dine in the shade. We had a wonderful experience here and can't wait to come back!! read more

Amazing food. All the plates. The rice and beans are great. Feijoada was amazing and the sandwich is just something else loved it

Nota dez! (In Portuguese, that means 10 on a scale of 1 to 10!) Boteco is the Brazilian food truck at Revival Coffee house. The owners are Mineiran. Mineiran food is some of the best in Brazil although the dishes here are intentionally pan-Brazilian. The menu is small. Servings are even smaller. This is in contrast to Brazil where they generally load you up with food. (Fried Yucca portions are particularly miniscule.) But in return for small servings, you get food that is WOW WOW WOW. Key point. Everything is home made. This is important because a lot of what they serve here could in theory be obtained frozen from commercial vendors. Where do you think your Gyoza come from in a Japanese restaurant? Boteco takes the high road and makes everything from scratch. The Botecans are super-good cooks. Their personal versions are significantly better than average. Keep an eye out for their sauces. Most cooking Mineirans make a home-made hot sauce. The Boteco version of same is very very good. Put it on everything. They also do a their own Chimichurri. (Not a particularly Brazilian thing, but it is what they do.) This is another winner and fantastic on the Brazilian dishes coming out of the kitchen. Their star dish is a coxinha. This is a fried cone of a Cornish Pasty style shell, filled with flavored chicken and soft Brazilian cheese. This is available at bars and food stands everywhere in Brazil, generally in frozen commercial form. Their version beats the commercial version six goals to zero. Their cones are smaller. However, the chicken is tastier and the melted cheese is to die for. Amazing by itself and utterly insane with the hot sauce on it. They also have french fried yucca (in Brazil, mandioca frita). Mandioca frita is like sex. It is one of the basic pleasures of life. My trips to Brazil are basically movements from one plate of Mandioca frita to the next one, with cachaca drinks on the side. Everyone's mandioca frita is good, but Boteco's mandioca frita is on the upper side of good. Dipped in the chimichurri - it is even finer finer finer. Mix this with the lovely views available at Revival Coffee, and the Hammocks for digesting your food after everything is over ... And you have a winning formula. What do they need to go to the next level? Real Mineiran specialties would move them to the god-like level of Texas BBQ trucks. Brazilian street food needs beer or it needs cachaca drinks. This might require a bigger kitchen or a liquor license. But these elements together and you could have one of the best restaurants in the city. I say, Yelpers, eat here a lot and fill Boteco's cash registers. We need these folks to go brick and mortar as soon as possible. read more

We stopped by this truck for lunch last Sunday and ordered almost everything on the menu. Based on the groups general enthusiasm for each item, heres what we thought. Picanha the pastel de carne - 4 stars Beef empanada - 4 stars Coxhina - fried chicken croquette - 3.5 stars Cheese empanada - 3.0 stars Firstly, the steak the use in the Picanha the pastel de carne is of good quality and was cooked rare-med rare. The fried egg was cooked "over well" as in a hard yolk all the way through which was a bummer. The beans and rice were good, the rice was buttery. As for the appetizers, the beef empanada was easily the best. While both empanadas outer shells were flaky and light and prepped very well, our cheese empanada was still cold shredded cheese in the center. The saving grace is that the cheese is tasty. Lastly the Coxhina were good, this was my first time having them. If you think of shredded chicken flavored with enchilada sauce as a center, then you're pretty close to how it tastes. All in all I'd say if you're really craving/into Brazilian food then stop by this spot, but its not a must must if you're not into the cuisine as a whole. read more

it was pretty good! thought the main was a bit expensive and the croquettes were a bit heavy, but the yuca fries were soooo good - and that green sauce was great for both. I didn't understand why everyone was commenting on the yuca fries bc how special can they get normally, but it was fried really well in my opinion! the main entree was good but the steak was a bit tough and I didn't think there was anything especially special about it. I don't think I'd crave the food here but I'm definitely happy that I got to try it and would be fine going back! read more

I made a yelp today just to share how great Boteco was! It was pouring today but that didn't stop anyone (or us) from stopping by for a quick bite. Food was A+ and staff was extremely welcoming. Thank you Fernando for the mimosas and chocolate, my friends and I really enjoyed it. It was such a pleasure meeting you! Now onto the food! The yuca fries with the complementary sauce were my absolute favorite! Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. We also got the Picanha Grelhada which was so so good! The steak was cooked perfectly and the mingling of all the other flavors was perfect. This was my first time trying Brazilian food and I will most definitely be back! read more

Yucca fries I DREAM OF YOU. -If you have never tried yucca fries, they have a potato/doughy texture to them. Try them and you will soon dream of them too. Chicken croquettes. -These were absolutely delicious! FEIJOADA OMG! This was one of the most flavorful things I've ever eaten Main steak dish. -I have never tasted so much flavor in one bite. The egg, beans, rice, meat and seasoning combined all make every bite perfect. Savoury, hearty, and fanfreakingtastic. Amazing Food Truck! read more

Boteco - Feijoada, guaraná and yuca fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Our first time in Austin and our first time to try out a food truck. I went with Yelp reviews and found this place. I ordered 3 appetizers: the fried yuca, the cheese empanada, and that round fried thingy with shredded chicken and cream cheese plus a Brazilian soda and it was a whopping $20 for the really small servings. I'm not sure if that's what food truck prizes are in Austin (I really can't compare it with Houston) but if that's the going rate then I probably would avoid eating in food trucks! Flavor-wise, they nailed it. My picky kids have never had any of these items but they ate it like pros. It was only until my husband told them yuca is cactus that they seem to have regretted eating it! But I'm glad they gulped them all down! read more

I walked in 100 degree weather for this food truck and it was worth it! I ordered the yuca fries, cheese empanada, chicken croquettes, and the mango juice and I am extremely happy with all of it. The cheese empanada had a lot of cheese. It was not one of those empanadas with a lot of air and barely any cheese. The sauce for the yuca fries was really good. I definitely recommend eating here and I would go back myself! The staff was very friendly and they had great service. I also love the bright yellow color of the truck. Tip: order the food "for here" and they will give you a little Brazilian flag read more

This place is awesome. Good authentic brazilian food, owner is very nice. I would recommend the feijoada and the coxinhas.

Amazing food and service!!! Came into town for the weekend and a friend highly recommended this food truck. I was not disappointed at all! We split one of the appetizers and the main dish and I was plenty full with that amount of food. Coxinha (Chicken Croquette)- Filled with shredded chicken and cream cheese and served with 2 sauces. I would have even been happy with these as my meal- they were delicious. House special- Includes rice, beans, fried egg, pick de gallo and perfectly cooked and seasoned steak. All goes really well together and very filling- I could not have eaten this all by myself. The service was so great! We got 2 yucca fries to try and the owner really cared about our experience. Will be back for sure!! read more

I've been meaning to come here for ages and was finally in the area during lunch time. Their menu was super small so instead of deciding what to try I just decided to order everything. - Picanha Grelhada: This is their one and only entree dish. Sirloin steak on top of rice and beans mixed with pico salsa, yuca flour (sorta like breadcrumbs, but salty), runny fried egg, and onions. Although the description didn't sound particularly appetizing, I thought all the flavors in the dish complemented each other well. Even without the steak, I would still gladly eat this. It's hard to really describe each individual flavor, but there's just the right amount of salty, saucy, sweet, and onion mixed together. I thought of it is as a gourmet Chipotle bowl with more flavor and spice. The generous portion of steak itself was fairly well seasoned and juicy. This dish could probably feed a single, very hungry person. - Yuca Fries: My unrefined pallet thought they tasted like high-quality french fries. The main difference is the yuca isn't as chunky as normal potato fries. - Coxinha: Chicken Croquettes? Fried stuffed chicken balls if you don't know what a croquette is (like me). The chicken was more tender and juicy than I thought it would be. The cream cheese taste was not overwhelming and simply made the overall texture creamier. In addition, the fried exterior didn't take over the flavor and allowed the chicken to "carry" the flavor of each bite. Overall this was my favorite dish. - Beef Empanada: I was the least excited for the empanada, but ordered this because I didn't think I had enough food. I was pleasantly surprised by the beef as it looks just like ground beef, but was actually well seasoned and fairly tender. I don't normally enjoy empanadas, but if you're looking for one more appetizer to round out your meal, I'd recommend this. - Passion Fruit drink: I don't know what exactly it was called, but it tasted exactly like passion fruit juice. The initial sip was super sweet followed by a slighty sour aftertaste. On a 102 degree summer day, it tasted delightfully refreshing! I was impressed. If I lived closer to this truck I would probably be a regular here. read more

Boteco, my true love. I have to say this place is my favorite food truck in all of Austin, Tx. I have been here numerous times and I can never get enough of their flavorful dishes. Yucca fries with the chimichurri sauce. I DREAM OF YOU. -If you have never tried yucca fries, they have a potato/doughy texture to them. Try them and you will soon dream of them too. Chicken croquettes. -These were absolutely delicious but I prefer the yucca fries as an appetizer only because the main dish is very hearty and full of protein. Empanadas. PERRRRTY GOOD -These were good but I prefer the chicken croquettes and fries over these but that is my own personal preference. Main steak dish. THE REASON I CALL THIS PLACE MY TRUE LOVE. -I have never tasted so much flavor in one bite. The egg, beans, rice, meat and seasoning combined all make every bite perfect. Savoury, hearty, and fanfreakingtastic. Although there is only one main dish on the menu, I feel they have perfected it and I have to say it is absolutely perfect. The staff is very friendly, charismatic, and helpful which adds to why I love this place so much. Thanks for the wonderful meals, Boteco. Stay great. read more

Stumbled on this Brazilian food truck and it felt like a little part of home. I only wanted a snack so I got the pastel de quiejo (cheese pastry) and it didn't disappoint. It was freshly fried and so warm and cheesy. It felt like I was back in Brazil buying a treat on the street. The service was pretty quick and the person working in the truck is from Minas so feel free to bond with him over Minas cheese. A gem of a food truck in East Austin! read more

It was hard at first trying to find the place but when I had those chicken croquettes (coxinha de galinha , for me) .. It brought me to my 5th grade recess in Fortaleza,Brazil . When the only thing a fifth grader wants was soda and that chicken croquette... It is legit to the core . I'll be back for more . read more

Boteco - Delicious - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Girlfriend and I came here because we saw it by Vintage Heart the other day. I would give this a 4.5, but what's holding me back from a full five is that there is only one entree. It's a steak plate with beans, rice and pico. We ordered the yuca fries as well for appetizer and a cranberry ginger ale. To start, the cooks were nice and welcoming. Even on a cold, cloudy day, they still smiled and were happy. We ordered the fries, soda and house special. Do not order the soda, it's $3 for a 12 oz can. The yuca fries were very satisfying. They weren't overcooked, or dry to eat. Rather, it was smooth and salted just right. It came with aioli sauce, which was creamy and had a hint of lime. Would order again. $5 The steak plate is shareable for two small people. Luckily, my girlfriend and I were able to share this. The steak was seasoned just right, garnished with caramelized onions. Cooked at medium rare, it was a flavor I hadn't tasted since fogo. Beans were average. Rice was actually great. And this comes from an Asian who eats rice maybe 8 times a week. Pico added a good balance to the steak, as it was sour and sweet. $14 Would recommend, would come again. read more

Absolutely delicious had the picanha something and I was amazed by the flavors that oozed inside of my mouth. The meat was soo good and it was seasoned so well... the veggies were tasty as well, especially the egg that was hidden deep inside of the bowl. Definitely coming back here to try out what else they have to offer. Their menu is small, only have 3 entrees. Whenever I came here during the day time a few items they had up was gone. read more

I got the famous coxihna and they were bomb! I'd drop in there just for those anyway!

A tiny bit of Feijoada with a whole lot of rice. The Feijoada was good but not worth the price.

Wonderful service. Nice food truck off outside the rest of the food trucks in this area. He has shade and picnic tables available. His truck also plays music and he has a TV screen. I got the pork belly and honestly it was too dry. There are only a few dishes here, but they are homemade Brazilian dishes. The yuca fries are a MUST order! This place was on Diner Drive Ins and Dives. There is also a really good can beverage here. I cannot remember the name, but the guy will definitely tell you his favorites and what to order. read more

The Picanha Grehalda was good, but nothing to be back for. It's authentic, and in the time we were there it seemed as if everyone was speaking Portuguese, which is always a good sign. But the winner was definitely the aioli they served with the yucca. Oh YES. I know that seems something so little to be excited about, but try them out. read more

Got a fried empanada here. Wasn't good. Pretty bland. Maybe their other items are better, but I don't plan on finding out
