A sweet little food truck serving authentic Pakistani flavors…read more We tried the beef samosas, shami kabab roll, chicken tikka roll, and mango lassi. The beef samosas were absolutely excellent crispy, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of our meal. Between the rolls, I preferred the shami kabab roll over the chicken tikka roll, though both were enjoyable. The mango lassi was decent, but not particularly memorable. The sweet lady behind the counter was incredibly kind, and it's clear that the people running this place are hardworking and passionate about what they do. We were visiting from Houston and took the food back to our hotel room for a late-night snack. We're so glad we decided to stop by! Highly recommended if you're craving authentic Pakistani street food!

It's a joy to learn another culture through story & food; Mona's Samosas is a fantastic Pakistani…read morefood truck that shares its soul with each bite, drunken or otherwise. Mona's (a portmanteau of the parents names' first syllables) has a small menu of traditional offerings, from samosas, patties, parata rolls, and chutneys. The truck is helmed by Momma Mona but her twin sons run the operations and have crafted the recipes. I tried several items and it is absolutely ridiculous how delicious everything was. The samasos of potato (papa) were expertly crafted and reminded me of flautas de papa when they are done right. Crispy, flavorful, and "light" ... just perfect. The parata rolls, made from an egg based recipe, was expertly crafted; the shami kabab was filled with beef. Paired with the mint chutney, it was a great balance. The sauces were on point and varied in heat level, but nothing excessive. Sameer (sp?) explained that the sauces are a bit on the milder side to accomodate the taste palate but the spiciest version had some punch. Last but not least was the beef patty which was a stellar, absolutely phenomenal flaky pastry with their signature shredded spicy chicken. It rivaled some of the best bakery offerings I've had, the flakiness left me laughing out loud from the quality. Whenever I venture into another culture's cuisine, I can certainly tell if I like it or not, but not how rooted the dishes are. I appreciated Sameer's discussion of his families food; his mom has been in the industry for years and finally decided to venture out with her twin sons. I'm glad they did. The craziest realization was that there was likely so many drunk patrons who stumble out of Shangrila at 2:10AM likely have no idea they had some of the best Pakistani food you can find. *Shout out to Joe from Taano Beverages for the rec; he's neighbors with Mona's. Always lovely to see small business genuinely support other small businesses.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: Came here with the wife, baby and in-laws for a morning brunch session before hitting up the Mueller Farmers Market. Definitely get a reservation here because the place was packed. For food, we got an assortment starting with the buttermilk biscuits. Which I highly recommend. For the mains, I got the buttermilk fried chicken and waffles, which was good but lacked something (maybe some heat or salt). The other dieshes we got were the shrimp and grits, southern crab cake benny, and the southern breakfast. All were actually very good. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done here was around $110 for 4 entrees and a biscuit. The biscuit is definitely a must get and try.

The 3 stars are for: 1) cocktails - 1 was great, another did not have the fruit flavours that were in the description and the 3rd was just too sweet. 2) wine selection is limited and price is not in line with quality- Sangiovese glass at $15 should be an exceptional one. 3) there is no service that I can speak of because you have to walk up to a counter to order. The lines were consistently long, so even to get another round meant I have to leave the group, wait 5-10mins just to order. Suggestion - use a qr code system from each table.

This place should've been named in at…read morethe least the top 5 as it's way better than any of the other restaurants that were being mentioned. Ordered the chicken sando and biscuit sando wit a side of fries and some of their sweet tea. These are made to order so there is a little wait. Pro tip: since the food is made to order and not under heat lamps, it comes out pretty hot so you may want to wait a bit before you bite into it, unless you're into that kinda of pain The breading on the chicken, on top of having all these great spices added to it, is super crispy and light. It has such a fantastic crunch. The chicken too, is super juicy and flavorful. The sandwich itself is great as it comes and all the toppings work perfectly together. That potato bun is something else and really brings everything together. The biscuit is quite nice, buttery and big enough to hold that massive piece of chicken. The sweet jalapeno jam add a good kick of spice. Oh the duck fat fries! These really dont need anything added to the them. Just enjoy them as they come as they're perfection.

There's a lot of food trucks in Austin. There are a few that I consider above the rest and Spicy…read moreBoys is one of those joints. Spicy Boys has four locations in the Austin area, with probably their most popular at Zilker Brewing. They are a spicy chicken establishment and their spicy chicken comes in different shapes and sizes from bone-in fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, and nuggets. I have only ever ordered their fried chicken sandwich and every time, I have been a fan. I always get their middle option in heat, the Hot Gai, which is sandwiched between the OG and the Tingly Gai. It hits every time. The mayonnaise, the pickles, the perfectly crisp chicken: you can't miss it. As a side, I ALWAYS without fail get their Tater Tots. They are consistently crispy while remaining soft on the inside. Sometimes I will get it seasoned with their Tingly Sichuan, but the heat is sometimes too much. I cannot recommend the tots enough. Spicy Boys is one of those places that is always there for you. They are consistently open and the people making the orders are putting a ton of dedication into making them smack every time. The sandwich alone comes at $9.50 with the tots at $3.50, which seems on par or slightly lower than a typical food truck if my memory serves me right. I recommend giving them a shot whether you are at Spokesman in Pflugerville, St. Elmo Brewing, or Zilker off 6th Street. It's in the upper echelon of food trucks. RIYL: peak chicken sammys

I asked if they had hot dogs and the answer was a negative however, there was a menu with a wide variety of choices, hamburgers, pizzas, etc but the Philly Cheesesteak got my attention. Although the Cheesesteak was satisfying, I will not return to order it again instead I will check out some of the Indian items that I eyeballed on the menu.

Overall, it was good. The crab rangoon was the standout--crispy, flavorful, and easily my favorite part of the meal. The chicken and broccoli were cooked well, and the portion size was solid for lunch. I did ask for spicy, but the dish was milder than expected. The flavor was there; it just didn't quite bring the heat I was hoping for. This was a delivery order, so I didn't have the opportunity to check out the ambiance, and it appears to be takeout and delivery only anyway. The food arrived without issue. I'd still be open to ordering again and trying some of the other dishes on the menu next time. Sometimes it takes a couple of visits to find the dish that really hits.
