While driving from Austin to Houston, my husband wanted to grab a quick breakfast taco. I turned to…read moreYelp for recommendations and discovered a taco truck that caught my eye. They even had a phone number where I could call ahead and place my order for pickup. We decided on two breakfast tacos filled with bacon, sausage, egg, cheese, and potatoes. I always make it a point to try the Al Pastor at any taco truck I visit, and this one did not disappoint! The homemade salsa--both red and green--was truly authentic and delicious. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be for the taco truck to make their tortillas from scratch; that would have taken the meal to the next level! The staff was incredibly friendly and warm, making the experience even more enjoyable!

There's was one attendee in the truck, working hard to make things happen. They didn't earn any stars for ambiance or location. But you know what, the burrito I had there was very good. Every ingredient was excellent, from the asada to the rice, beans and other fillings. The burrito was grilled nicely, and the hot sauce they gave me was more of a chili oil but it was absolutely amazing. It may not look like much but they sure seem to know that they're doing. I'll be back to try their quesabirria tacos.

Part One: VAST…read moreAMOUNTS OF SEAFOOD AT AN UNBELIEVABLY LOW PRICE !!!!! * * * * * You get what you pay for. * * * * * Do you really want to eat a gigantic seafood platter of tough rubbery bottom of the line octopus and macerated formless shrimp chunks? * * * * * The sauce and garnishings do not hide the fundamental nature of what you are eating. * * * * * There is plenty of non seafood on the menu. Go with the non-seafood for sure. Part Two: Other Yelp reviews rave about the fish. My co-eater raved about her chicken enchiladas. My oysters were pretty good. My shrimp were mushy because I had a marinated dish. I think the villain in the proceedings was the octopus. The octopus was genuinely mediocre. Like not wanting to finish my plate mediocre. I think if you avoid the octopus everything else they have is probably pretty good. The one land mine on the menu is one HELLUVA land mine. But all signs are that with one huge exception this place is okay.

Route 71 between Bergstrom Airport and Bastrop is kind of a food desert…read more But they are just now starting to get food trucks. However, there is one food truck that has been in Cedar Creek forever. Mi Barrio at 71 and Pope Bend. This is an absolutely superlative food truck. If you needed one and only one place to eat along Route 71, This is the one you would want. * * * Tex-Mex is the order of the day here. The menu is very traditional. They are unapologetic about offering "alternative parts of the animal" such as tripas. The food is firey hot but hot with magnificent flavor. I never understood why people told me that Tex-Mex food is spicy. It isn't spicy in most places. It IS spicy at Mi Barrio. And this is fire you could learn to love. * * * Four notes of interest. a) I had the chicken fajitas. At bad Mexican food trucks, they use cheap chicken, Chicken that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. They use high integrity high quality ingredients at Mi Barrio. You could serve this chicken to your mother. b) Even though Mi Barrio is right next to Cedar Creek High School, I have never once seen a Cedar Creek High School student there. You go to the fast food restaurants near Westwood High in Austin, and they are packed with Westwood High students. I suspect the principal at Cedar Creek is stricter than the principal at Westwood High about letting students off school grounds. c) Most of the customers do not eat at the food truck. All of the customers I saw were working class Mexican. A few ordered for themselves and went off to eat someplace. A few others came in to get large orders that I presume were taken back to some work crew. The location is not wonderful. They are in the parking lot of a fairly cruddy Exxon convenience store. Highway 71 scenery is not magnificent. d) This place opens early and closes early. They will be there for breakfast. They will be there for lunch even if you wander in around 1-ish. I am a late afternoon kind of a guy which generally means I found them closed. * * * It would be snarky for me to say this is the best eating on Route 71, given the nearly total lack of competition. But it is more meaningful to say this place can stand up with The best of the Mexican/Central American food trucks on North Lamar in Austin AND The best of the Mexican/Central American food trucks on Route 812 in Del Valle. These are concentrations of really excellent Mexican food. You might not want to drive 35 miles to eat here. The location is ugly. This ain't no picture postcard. But if you DO stop and eat here, ignoring the view, You will eat very well indeed.

The fat from the fall-off-the bone ribs and slight caramelization of the meat gave everything just the right consistency and taste. The rice was better than most places (soft but not mushy). The beans and tortillas rounded it all out. Normally I don't fill up on all the tortillas but I used all of it to clean the plate.
