    Classic burger
    Mariana G.

    I got the classic burger, a cheese burger that comes with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, jalapeños, ketchup, mustard and mayo (which I customized to remove the mustard and the pickles). It was delicious and I devoured it. I also got two churros for dessert. I think they were supposed to come with chocolate or caramel dipping sauce, but even without the sauce these churros were delectable. The sweet and crispy exterior coated in cinnamon sugar contrasted with the soft interior filled with vanilla bean pastry cream makes for a truly tasty dessert.

    This place rocks. Just a food truck, but more than that. They serve some of the tastiest burgers I have ever had. And I only tried their double cheeseburger loaded minus the pickles. It was fantastic. Healthy half pound of beef as expected done right, not too salty, or over cooked. It is a new location on Guadalupe and 37th street just half a block from where I live. I was shopping down the strip and before I passed by I smelled a fantastic mix that made me stop by. Glad I did. Double cheeseburger, fries, loaded fried chicken sandwich for just $24 with nice tip... you can't go wrong. Just hope they stay there.

    Our community in San Marcos is having an event and the Downtown Burgers food truck is one of the vendors invited to sell/serve food during the 2-day event. My wife, upon reading about burgers available from a food truck perused their website and made plans to go try their burgers after we played golf in the morning. Not reading the fine print on the announcement, we showed up for burgers at 1:30 PM only to find out the Downtown Burgers food truck wasn't scheduled to be there until 3 PM. Hungry and a bit frustrated, we drove back home where it's nice a cool (low to mid 90s out there) and waited until 3 PM to head back to our community's social hub. The truck arrived late and they experienced issues with power so by the time they were ready to take orders, it was closer to 4 PM and I was HANGRY. I just kept chanting this better be worth it. Once my wife placed our orders (Onion Ring burger for her and La Mananera burger for me...we also ordered onion rings and fries to go with our burgers), the cooks were fairly efficient and we were digging into our burgers in no time, inside an air conditioned building. The burgers were good AND messy...the fries and onion rings were fine. The burgers were juicy and flavorful. Why only 3 stars you ask? I guess the biggest hangup I had was the lack of value...$10 for a burger out of a food truck! That's more expensive than most burgers at Hopdoddy and in my humble opinion not as good as Hopdoddy's. I would rather see the $10 for burgers to include fries or onion rings. Lunch for 2 without drinks came out to $30 with tip.

    Red food truck hidden in the back of a parking lot. Good burger, but curious if it's because of all the ingredients on the burger.

    Located in a rig across the street from the Austin Convention Center in downtown, this is probably a very convenient location to walk to for tourists and out-of-towners. The wait for your food is typically about 10 minutes from when you put in an order. I had walked past this place so many times on my way to other spots in downtown and figured I eventually had to try it. Wanting to give them the best shot, I decided to try their classic 1/4 lb burger. Overall, the burger wasn't bad and will definitely satisfy you if you are hungry and craving a burger. The fries, which were well-peppered, weren't bad either. Overall, it wasn't bad, and works in a pinch, but is a bit overpriced at $10 for a burger and fries.

    Tasty burger and quick service. Almost had to take a bath afterwards...that's how you know it's good.

    Best burgers in Austin. The crew from the show swarmed the place and everyone had a great meal. Fried pickles were delicious and the burger was perfect.

    I love the proximity yo the conference center as i was attending SXSW Edu. The burger and fries were reasonably priced and hit the spot and allowed for an outside stroll between sessions.

    Solid burger spot! Burger was cooked perfectly and had fresh toppings. The fries were hot, crispy and well seasoned. Fast friendly service. Ordered thru grub hub and it was ready right after I arrived. Plenty of outdoor seating and they play good jams.

When I…read morewent to go pick up my order, the cashier was graciously enough to inform me that their website is powered through DoorDash so if you order online, all the prices are unfortunately higher than their menu...so unfortunate to hear :( As for the food, I ordered the 3 Piece White Meat Chicken Plate, which came with 2 chicken breasts and 1 wing (they surprisingly give the full wing), and it comes with toast, baked beans, and cole slaw be default. You can exchange the default sides for some other options for a little extra charge. It was wonderful to see how generous the portion sizes were, including the sides! The chicken was perfectly friend and breaded in my opinion while keeping the white meat tender -- it was still like that even after I put the leftovers in the air fryer the next day. The baked beans were very flavorful and the sweetness complimented the savory chicken well. The cheer on top moment was the fact that the chicken was seasoned with a spicy seasoning so there was a bit of a subtle spicy aftertaste in each bite! I'll definitely be back again! :)

How do they make their chicken that tender and juicy?? Also, why are the potato salad and mac n cheese the best I've ever had?? Our total came out to be ~$26, without tip. 5/5 Overall, great service, great food, and great experience! Parking is a bit hard since it's in downtown, but there is a parking garage across from the restaurant and it's only $5 for 0-2 hours, which I think is the best you can find. We also came on a Saturday around 2:30 pm. We got our food pretty quick so you can really just eat for 30 minutes and walk around downtown for a good 1.5 hours before coming back and leaving. We will definitely be back!

The food is incredible, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff truly make this place special. Huge shoutout to amazing team members Ariel and Emily for being so warm and kind. The chef even made our pup Zoloft a pup cup today, which was such a sweet gesture. The lovely woman who helped us during our last visit also gave Zoloft a pup cup, so they've consistently shown kindness to our little family. They even gave complimentary vegan cookies to guests when we arrived (not sure if it was a special promotion, but such a thoughtful touch!). And the ice cream... WOW. Made with lentils, and honestly some of the best ice cream we've ever had--rich, creamy, and unforgettable. Friendly staff, delicious food, thoughtful service, and creative plant-based treats.

    Perfect spot for late-night tacos!…read more The best part is that they have great vegetarian options, including both paneer and tofu tacos, and both are absolutely delicious. It's not always easy to find flavorful vegetarian tacos, so this place was a pleasant surprise. I loved it so much that I ended up visiting twice during my two-day trip to Austin.

Sixth Street's neon and noise are basically next door, the Capitol sits up the hill, and the whole area is packed with people, bars, and that classic Austin mix of polished downtown hustle and late-night chaos. Velvet Taco is pure counter-service: you walk right up, order at the register, and then grab a seat. There's plenty of seating, so even with a couple of kids in tow it was no problem finding a spot. The place leans hard into what can only be called white-people tacos--soft, sad flour tortillas that taste like they came straight out of a grocery-store package, loaded with every wild creation the kitchen can invent. Global mashups, brunch hybrids, burger impostors, the works. No one is pretending these are the real deal. I went for the chicken-and-waffles taco, which was actually built on a thin, real waffle instead of a tortilla. Surprisingly good--crispy, a little sweet, chicken holding its own. The burger taco tasted exactly like a cheeseburger that had wandered into a tortilla and decided to stay. We also tried the shrimp taco (fine), one daughter got the kids' chicken taco (perfectly kid-level), and the other ordered the chicken tikka (spicy, saucy, and very much in the "why is this on a tortilla?" category). Everything was okay. Comparable to Torchy's in that same creative-American-taco lane. If you're looking for a true Mexican taco, stay far away. But if you just want to play around with some decent flavors on a cheap flour store-bought tortilla while sitting in the middle of downtown Austin, this is your spot. Not my favorite. Glad I tried it. Won't be back.
