I have been curious about this place for quite some time - largely because of their beautiful truck and logo (not going to lie). The minute I saw their menu, though, I knew I had walk my ass over a few streets and check it out. Who doesn't love grilled cheese? I tried the Waylon & Willie sandwich - spicy and flavorful. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for some fancy cheese. I love the burnt bits. Bravo. read more

My fiancé and I decided to have a food truck at our engagement party and booking Burro Cheese Kitchen was a no-brainer. Justin was beyond helpful and professional. The food truck was a hit, our guests loved it. We were given multiple menu options but chose to stick with the prefix truck menu. The sandwiches were soooo good...I would highly reccomend them for catering and in general if you want a killer grilled cheese! Thanks Justin :-) read more

Great Croque Madam and mac n cheese! The CM wasn't on their menu anymore but they were nice enough to make it for me. Great service and people. Give them a visit! read more

Went to the new location in front of Stonehouse Coffee on South Lamar. Had a couple of breakfast tacos and they were delicious. Breakfast tacos with amazing CHEESE! This will be a morning habit along with the coffee next door. read more

Greeted by the nicest guy. Told him it was my first time to visit Burro and he said, " I will make your sandwich reeeeel good." This is a cool place on s congress that actually has seating and nice ambiance under the lights. Got the Via sandwich with fig and cheese. He gave me two small sandwiches because the bread was small. Was delicious! He had a few leftover fried pears and got me to try them, who knew ... Fried pears? Yum! If ya like bread, cheese (who doesn't?) go check this place out. read more

Burro Cheese Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

I made my own sandwich here and got the sourdough, with aged cheddar, and almond pesto aioli. I wanted to try a more 'classic' grilled cheese to really see if it was as delicious as everyone was saying. I am happy to report it was pretty darn good. The toast is crunchy and buttery, with ooey gooey cheese, that on second thought, was maybe not so light on the calories, but completely worth it. It takes a few minutes to snake through the line here and there isn't a ton of seating, but it usually doesn't take long for people to finish up their sandwiches and move on. I think the hardest part is finding nearby parking!! I think the prices are reasonable for the product. I would like to go back and try the tomato soup! read more

Picked up a delicious sandwich from this food truck while they were visiting the Avery ranch summer get together. The food was amazing. I am always fond of super focused menus ... A couple of menu options that are really good. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Who ever thought that grilled cheese sandwiches could be so delicious? I mean, yeah they're an amazing comfort food, but this place takes it to a whole new level. This is one of the coolest food trucks I've ever purchased from. Their gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches are fabulous! Check them out! read more

Stopped by Burro for a quick sandwich, we came in wanting the Coppola, but they were out of Pesto, it ended up being Just Fine though, Jared introduced us to the "Waylon & Willie" it was WONDERFUL and so was the service!!! Thanks Jared, we will be back! read more

Yummmm! There was a group of us who shared a Waylon and Willie, and we all loved it!! We are doing a progressive food truck lunch, lol. I would highly recommend this place. Service was fantastic! read more

Uuuuhhhhh. Came here because of the $5 deal on the PayPal app. Was looking to get the Via 206 with prosciutto but turns out the sour dough bread was out. This was pretty disappointing as it was a few hours before closing time and I really wasn't looking to have my entire sandwich on hawaiian rolls. Anyways, I decided to get the Via 206 on the hawaiian rolls. The attendant was very sweet. When I got my sandwich it was just soo greasy. Sure, what was I supposed to expect?! Grilled cheese sandwich place. I get it. But the toasty goodness of the sandwich very quickly vanished as it was soon swallowed with grease. The flavors were good but the amount of cheese was really overwhelming for me. Really wish I could have tried it on the sour dough bread. My experience may have been different. read more

I don't even really like grilled cheese sandwiches but this place made me a believer in this late night snack! My friend and I were able to sample the OG and the Waylan Willie at ACL and we went back for seconds not only because the food was great but because they were so nice and accommodated her gluten allergy. I love this place now! read more

All I have to say is DAMN. I didn't know grilled cheese could be this good. Perfect cheese amazing bread with the perfect cook on it. Only downside is that at any events its a hotspot and they usually run out of the sourdough...so if you know they're gonna be there than you BETTER get there early! I had to starve myself for the next few days after to compensate for the calories, but I'd fast for another sandwich any day. read more

So good! Wanted the Coppola (it has pesto!), but they were out of pesto. Ended up getting their signature sandwich, the Waylon Willie. So glad the pesto fairy had not come through. We were not disappointed. Service was amazing. (Thanks Jared!) Will definitely make our way back here when Austin comes a callin again. read more

pretty delicious, but a little bit too much ingredient and not enough CHEESE! :/ also the pricing is just way too high, definitely would be a returning customer if it weren't for the pricing. I mean you are operating out of a food truck...how pricey can it be!? $20 for two sandwiches and one drink...no thanks. read more

This place never lets me down. While its true that its a little pricey, to me, the fancy cheeses are absolutely worth it. The servers are always friendly, and the sandwiches are always good. I'm definitely a fan of these dudes. read more

I have been to Austin countless times and recently just moved down and have yet to do a food truck. Yeah pretty pathetic I know... but alas we started off with a home run. Burro was amazing! We had the Willie and Waylon and it was awesome. Top notch ingredients and very unique flavor combo. Staff was friendly and the location is great for taking in the sights of South Congress. Def will go back to try the different sammies they had as it was hard to choose what to get this trip. read more

Went here because the concept of a gourmet grilled cheese trailer sounded amazing. The place was phenomenal with both a creative menu and make your own options. Even had tomato soup for dipping. Will absolutely be back. read more

A gourmet grill cheese truck? How can that not be awesome, right? Justin and team took a great idea and made it truly incredible. Fantastic food, fantastic folks, convenient location, plus free beer and fun specials on Friday. My favorite is the Via 206 and this winter I've been digging the tomato soup. read more

Burro Cheese Kitchen - Burro Cheese Kitchen - fantastic grilled cheese on South Congress - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Seriously a damn. good. sammich. I had the Croquet-Madam sans the ham and was blown away. I thought I had lived until I tried out BCK. I will go back...today-as a matter of fact, and try the Build Your Own option. It wasn't a thin grilled cheese either, it was seriously packed full of cheese, egg and flavor. I seriously couldn't shut up about how solid this grilled cheese was for a good week. read more

Burro is awesome! My new fav place! Super nice, super knowledgeable, super yummy! Plus free beer! What's not to like! These guys are killin' it! read more

The worst. At xgames, paid premo pricing for their Faust. Supposedly 4 or 5 different toppings, super excited for it. tasted like mere bread with some cheese. Absolute failure. Pathetic. Never again read more

Yum!! They know how to have fun with their grilled cheese sandwiches! And free beers on Fridays! Can't beat that! :)

Expensive and not too good. The customer service was good, but the food was off in flavor. I had the croque Monsieur. Too heavy and too much going on in the sandwich to enjoy it. Stick to something simple. read more

The food is great, after you wait 30 min. We waited 20 min for our food and then they made me the wrong grilled cheese. ...... ? They then made me a new one, Which is nice but At that point everyone else had eaten. Mind you I asked for a plain grilled cheese. Guys are nice, service is slow and they don't check orders, people were walking off without waiting for their food because it was taking too long. Speed up the process, check orders, that'll make everything 100%. read more

Unimpressed. Cheap bread, low quality cheese. They blow torch the cheese to help it melt which gives it a unappetizing burnt taste. I typically don't let food go to waste, but couldn't finish this. Would never choose again. read more

GREAT grilled cheese and tomato soup during cold weather. It's outside though, so bring a jacket if it's winter.

This is not grill cheese, it's gourmet wonderfulness. I had no idea toasted bread and melted cheese could be this good. The cheeses, the breads, the sauces! Absolute perfection. I can't recommend them more highly. read more

My friend and I had the immense pleasure of dining on your tomato basil soup & awesome grilled cheese at the Trail of Lights. Again...wow! Thanks for the best sandwich I think either of is ever had! We'll be seeing you soon! read more

Best grilled cheese ever! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it was expensive (although you can tell they do use top quality products) and also because I read online they open at 11:30. Got there at noon and they weren't open yet. Had to wait about 15 minutes for them to officially open I understand food trucks have some flexibility with their hours, but I do wish they updated Facebook or their website daily about when they will be open so people can plan a head. I had the Waylon and Willie - will definitely be back again soon! read more

Tried the food truck on Cesar Chavez & Brazos. EXTREMELY overpriced for the Via 206. $9 for a "just ok" sandwich. Was not filling, nor did it come with a drink ($4 extra for a drink!!!) or chips. Will not be revisiting! read more

Work was busy today and had to take a late lunch. Been wanting to try Burro's because I drive by it everyday to go to work. So glad I did! Really enjoyed the Waylon & Willie! The staff was friendly and very easy to talk to. The staff is friends with the Juice bar next to it and suggested I try the Lemongrass & ginger Shot. Scott and Ross thanks for being just plan ol' good people. Cheers! read more

Not a bad place to eat if you want a cheesy Panini. I didn't find it to be all that exciting and I couldn't really taste the unique sounding ingredients. I would definitely have it again but it's not my top choice. read more

Loved the sandwiches here. I used to have these as a kid and hadn't had them in a while. Now, I end up going to Burro at least once a week

Not worth the money. Bread is being sold as gluten free and basically a hamburger bun. Also, tried to take an extra dollar in addition.

Very disappointing. Bread is awful for being a high-end grilled cheese sandwich. Better options all around South Congress.

Artisan grilled cheese in a strategic location. On their patio under the tree, get your coffee at Jo's and enjoy it with a Croque Madame here. Perfect. read more

We had several different types of grilled cheese sandwiches and they were very good. I also had the tomatoes soup and it was good although I had to wait for it awhile. We tried the fried pears and were not impressed at all. Also I would recommend taking the food to go as the seating is less than desirable. read more

I waited 15 minutes for a grilled cheese sandwich. I ordered the OG. The easiest thing in the menu, cheese and bread... After having people behind me served I started getting agitated and started asking where is my grilled cheese. After 25 freaking minutes (10 minutes of complaining) it finally got finished and served to me. 5 people who were behind me got served. I was absolutely livid but limited myself to using only words. One of the guys came out seeming like he wanted to throw fists. I ended up giving it to a friend because I'm pretty sure they spit or did something to my sandwich and I wanted to give no satisfaction to the horrible employees that served me. I'm never coming again and I'll tell all my friends how horrible the employees were read more

The Chronicle food challenge brought me to Burro. We had kind of a magical experience there. It was hot as blazes, but somehow the courtyard in front of Burro was perfectly shady and breezy. I was dragging my mom and kids with me and everyone was grumpy until we got to Burro. The kids played horseshoes in the grass and my mom and I relaxed on picnic tables. It was lovely. As for the sammies - I thought they were really good grilled cheese. I built my own with the beer bread, brie, tomatoes, and arugala. I kind of expected it to be grainy - since usually grilled cheese made with fancy cheeses ends up being kind of grainy (fancy cheese don't always melt right), but it was perfect. The almond pesto sauce on the side was really delicious also and went well with the sandwich. For my kids I got something more basic - I think it was cheddar on sourdough with tomatoes added (tomatoes make it health food, right?). My mom said she preferred this bread over my beer bread. It was thinner and just more like a classic grilled cheese. Finally my mom got one of the menu sammies - the Via. I didn't try any of it but both my mom and my husband declared it too sweet (it comes with fig preserves). All of the menu sandwiches seemed to have a sweet element so I'm guessing the owner likes sweet on grilled cheese. That's not really my thing, but like I said, I could build my own so I was happy with my creation. We also had a generous side of marinated olives and little sour pickles for an extra $2. Perfect with rich grilled cheese. Altogether I do have to admit the lunch was a bit pricy for typical food trailer fare, but the whole experience was so pleasant I didn't mind the price. After 2 weeks of garfing down trailer food in blazing hot parking lots with no shade, it was a great change of pace to lounge on such a perfect lawn. read more
