    Flavia's food truck
    Beverly M.

    The excellent handmade tortillas are such a draw. "What do you recommend,"I always ask when I show up at a Mexican food truck. Sometimes I get a "whatever" look and sometimes they ask me questions, like they did at Flavia's. How spicy do I like it? Have I tried aporreado? I'm a Mexico City girl, born and raised, and I'd never heard of aporreado, which apparently consists of meat beaten with a stone, salted, shredded, stirred with egg and cooked in guajillo chili, árbol chili or serrano chili sauce, with garlic and cilantro. Yum. Short on time and only wanting a snack, I tried the tinga de pollo and it was sensational. This is a woman-owned business by serious Mexican cooks. Kind ones, too.

    Current menu.

    Food was great. 2 taco lunch for $5 is a great deal. Scratch made corn tortillas are awesome.

    Chicken Tinga taco
    Michael C.

    I'm offended that it took Yelp this long to show me the way to Flavia and her Kitchen. Just kinda perfect in every way. Tried a sampling of tacos by way of their 2 taco special for $5. Each was delectable, effortless in its own way. My favorites were the standout Carnitas, juicy and savory, followed closely by the Chicken Tinga. I really appreciate the handmade tortillas, they were probably the best I've had in ATX, and the salsas included were fantastic as well. I really liked the green salsa -- it had a really good depth of flavor. Excited to try much more!

    Breakfast tacos

    I wanted some cheap breakfast tacos and found this food truck place near me. $5 for two is a steal. I got the bacon and egg and potato and egg. It came with a green sauce. They were nice and fast. They both were really good! The only thing I felt I had to add was a little salt and pepper but the tortillas were delicious. Overall great deal I want to come back and try the regular tacos! The green sauce has the perfect kick to it.

    Tacos (al pastor and bistec) with salsa and watermelon aqua fresca
    Andrew C.

    I've been trying to try this place but have found the hours to be a bit inconsistent. However, I saw that they were open and I ducked in for a quick bite and drink. The folks here are very nice and the tacos come out pretty quick. My order was two tacos - Al Pastor and Bistec and a watermelon aqua fresca. The aqua fresca was really good it wasn't overly sweet and had just enough watermelon flavor. Both tacos were also very food without the meats being overly salty (which I find a lot of places doing). I got three little things of salsa on request and they were all excellent. Very fresh tasting with great heat. I'll have to stop buy again and try a few more things.

    2 Pastor to Paradise!
    Joe T.

    Flavia is bringing the noise to Flavortown. These tacos were great! 1 steak and 2 Pastor to Paradise. Please tip your food truck! Prices are fantastic for what you get.

    left: Carnitas and Tinga Right: Barbacoa and Al Pastor

    The lady who took our order was so friendly and nice, answered our questions without hesitation. We got 2 for $5, one al pastor and one barbacoa. They were both good but the pastor was better. My mom got tinga and carnitas. She liked both. the tables were clean despite only one person taking orders and making the food. Would recommend this place.

    Al pastor and spicy chicken (tinga de pollo)
    Angela Y.

    I loved this food truck! Their street tacos are slightly larger than the ones you'd find in other Austin street taco shops. The tortillas weren't as soft as I was expecting (they tasted more like store bought tortillas). The proteins were wonderfully seasoned, although both were fairly spicy. Ask to try all three sauces - they were all delicious. We also purchased a passion fruit agua fresca. The medium size is $2 and the large size is $3. I would definitely recommend it, as it was refreshing in the hot day and complemented the heat of the tacos well. There is plenty of parking and seating space.

    Carnitas Gorditas!
    Cecilia H.

    The fantastic smells coming from this little taco truck are amazing! My husband and I had lunch here on Saturday, he had a carnitas torta and a barbacoa taco - both very delicious! I had the order of carnitas gorditas- outstanding, the avocado was fresh and delicious the salsa spicy and the perfect accompaniment to our meal. If you ever find yourself in the area ( Oltorf & 1st Street by the Starbucks) grab yourself something delicious from Flavia's! They have vegetarian options as well.

    This place rocks!
    Matt F.

    Yeah, I know there a jillions taco places like this in Austin but I have to sing their praise. This place was clean, friendly and even apologized for my wait since they made the corn tortillas by hand (!). Two street tacos, one beef, one chicken, and a can of Dr Pepper for $5. They and the other food trailers they share the area with have picnic tables under large oak trees for shade. When I am in the area again I will be sure to stop here again. Check it out!

I prefer the mini but they're sold out a lot which shows you how spectacular this place is. My go to is the nutty valentine. The donut is always warm, fresh, and crispy. And the toppings of Nutella, cinnamon, and strawberries adds dimension & the perfect story. There is plenty of patio seating and lots of parking outside. There can be a line on the weekends and they tend to sell out so keep that in mind. The staff is friendly and service is quick!

    Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

I had the Migas taco and the La Reyna taco. Both were excellent. I loved the veggies combination on the La Reyna taco. I would want to stop in and eat these every week if I lived in Austin. And the hot sauce was on point, both the green and the red. My husband had the Grilled Fish taco and the Grilled Steak taco. He couldn't decide which he liked better, but mentioned that the steak itself had amazing flavor. Do yourself a favor: free up two hours on your day off; order some tacos; order a Desnudo coffee or matcha or hibiscus tea and enjoy the tree-shaded outdoor dining area while you wait for some truly outstanding tacos.

The shrimp is sautéed in this extremely flavorful and spicy chili paste and it is an explosion of flavor in your mouth. The fish taco is also absolutely amazing. For the vegetarians, their cauliflower taco is great. And for the meat lovers, they're steak and Barbacoa taco is off the charts. Their beverages and juices freshly made in house are also always hit. Hard to find such fresh juices at that price point anymore.

This tastes like it came straight out of someone's granny's kitchen in SPAIN. D E L I C I O U S. The menu isn't all vegan, but they've done an incredible job offering both traditional and vegan versions without losing any soul. Am I in heaven? Yes. The owner makes it a point to connect with customers, which was refreshing. You can tell this is passion-driven. You order via QR code at your table, then pick up out back when it's ready--easy. Everything is prepped daily in a Commercial kitchen and finished on the truck, and he proudly shared that the ingredients, spices, even the meats are sourced from Spain. Vegan paella? Incredible. Patatas bravas with vegan aioli? My personal favorite, sooo good. My husband loved the jamón serrano sandwich. And whatever you do, don't skip the sourdough rye with tomato spread. They also mix in a few Belgian items to match the bar, which adds to the whole European vibe. I already need to go back for the vegan fideuà and bombas..they were sold out, which tells you everything. Do yourself a favor: try this spot and support a small business that's clearly fueled by passion and flavor. Yum.

The croquetas and bravas are the best in Austin - better than Kalimotxo, San Gines, and El Raval. They were extremely delicious and the perfect texture and size. The paella was about as good as you could expect from a food truck. The tortilla was our least favorite - taste was good, but wasn't as liquidy as you'd expect in Spain. Overall, the food was great. We would definitely go back! Thank you for keeping this Spanish food authentic.

    I sat down yesterday to eat a $13 lunch special: brown stew chicken, rice and peas, steamed…read morecabbage, and plantain, and bit into a piece of chicken that was refrigerator cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. I bit it a second time because I genuinely couldn't believe it. Meanwhile, the rice was so hot it was still visibly steaming from what I can only assume was a microwave, drowned in a watery gravy I never asked for, next to the old cabbage with solidified liquid. I brought the plate back to the counter, explained the chicken was refrigerator cold, and asked them to reheat it. I'm writing this today with an upset stomach. I wish I could say this was a one-time issue. It's not. I've been trying this restaurant, on and off, for over 15 years, and I kept giving them chance after chance because I wanted so badly for it to be good. I first met the owner when he ran a food truck, before the restaurant existed. I was excited; there weren't many Jamaicans in Austin at the time, and I was happy to support one. The rice and peas was so bad I threw the plate away. Years later, I tried the restaurant location. I ordered curry goat, took it to my car, and found the meat flavorless, fatty, and poorly trimmed; basically inedible. I threw it away in the parking lot. I later ordered oxtail through Uber Eats: flavorless again, poorly prepped meat, and an actual rock in the rice and peas. I tried introducing the child to Jamaican food with one of their beef patties, and it was dry and flavorless. Yesterday I ordered the "safest" thing on the menu, brown stew chicken, specifically because I no longer trust myself to spend real money on anything more ambitious here. I still got food that had clearly been microwaved and reheated unevenly, served with a piece of chicken that was still cold. Are we really selling microwaved leftovers out of an established restaurant with a huge kitchen? Jamaican food is something our culture takes real pride in. This restaurant has had a decade and a half to get it right, and instead I've watched it consistently cut corners on seasoning, on prep, and now on basic food safety. I don't say this lightly: if you want real Jamaican food, this isn't where you'll find it, and depending on the day, what you're served may not even be handled safely.
