All three have half bold flavors without being too sweet (this is probably the best compliment an Asian dessert can get). In addition, all of their gelatos have the perfect smooth consistency without melting too quickly. They are located in the same food truck park as Asado's Taqueria so there are plenty of picnic tables to sit at. Between the small lot adjacent to the park area and street parking, I have never had an issue finding somewhere to park close by.

Shiv, the chef on board, recommended three meat bowl. I choose jerk, tikka and Mediterranean flavored chicken. It truly was an explosion of flavors and textures in your mouth. Each piece of chicken was individually flavored with generous portions. I can also taste the finely chopped onions, soft yet plump tomatoes, sour cream and another secret sauce. All of these meats, vegetables and sauces topped a bed of fluffy rice. My taste buds were dancing! Shiv was super kind and accomodating. There is covered seating near the food truck. They have a very unique food concept. You can buy chips at the gas station and they will add toppings from the food truck, I.e. like a Dorito or Frito pie with a spice tip. Give Krave Kitchen a try!

My boyfriend loves watching…read morethese reels of another similar food truck in Virginia that does a BYOB (bring your own bag) option, so he was literally a kid on Christmas day when I took him here after finding out Austin now has a food truck that does the same! Shiv was incredible and so, so, so sweet. He asked us for our feedback multiple times and even gave us some samples of their berry smoothie, which is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend getting Doritos nachos or the hot fries as your bags because both offered great bases. If you can't eat spicy, ask for more white sauce and none of the spicy sauce. I'd also recommend asking for more tomatoes. The chicken schwawrma + gyro was a fantastic combination, and there is so much food for just $12. I highly, highly, highly recommend coming to krave. They open late, and seriously, Shiv is the sweetest. Please support local businesses!

Lots. About $3.50 per taco. Two is plenty.

Most of the flavor is on the outside though and because the chicken is so juicy and big the crust falls off. The chicken sand which is HUGE. There is so much meat and the ratio seems really off. The bread gets really soggy fast but the coleslaw and pickles are a nice addition. The flavors are really solid. The medium is the perfect spice for me. The tenders are okay, since I got mild it wasn't really flavorful and the dang sauce isn't very flavorful either. Food was made to order because it was HOT. The brewery area is very cute and fun but the parking situation is not great.

The chicken sandwich was a behemoth of a sandwich. I could barely bite it, but worth the $15! The bun was extremely soft, but the ratio of chicken to bun was a little off. Their pickles are sweet which is ideal with that level of heat. I got the hot which was perfect for me. The fries are amazing tbh, even after sitting in the fridge, they had a great flavor and texture somehow. I wish they put more sauce which is probably my personal preference haha It was a good meal overall, but not my favorite fried chicken spot. The burger with curry sauce WAS SO GOOOOD!! If i came back, I would get that. Smash burger patty with a pillowy bun - delish!

If you're feeling brave, get their red salsa

The just-okay ones were the Nopales, and the Al Pastor leaned way too hard on some spice, tastes like allspice to me. It was intense and just felt off balance. Definitely get the Quesotaco over regular. The griddled cheese is a real upgrade over the standard ones. Tortillas are fresh too. The salsa bar is awesome. Tomatillo, a red one that's really spicy, a jalapeno based one, and one with cilantro that's great. Really good stuff. The one thing that drives me nuts is you can't modify anything. Tons of families in there, we came in with our picky kids and just asked for rice and beans. No. Okay, can we just buy tortillas? No. Fine, sell us a taco and put all the meat and toppings on the side so I can hand my kids a plain tortilla? No. Whoever is running that kitchen, the fact that you literally cannot hand me a tortilla is absurd. The place is cramped and you're not coming here for the ambiance, the inside is whatever. On the plus side the line moves fast and the food comes out quick. They are cranking it out. Overall this is a home run. It's a couple little things away from an easy 5 stars.

This is a one-woman show with excellent, friendly service and delicious food! We were able to sit inside at Night Owl to beat the heat, which was much appreciated, but there are picnic tables in the shade, too. Everything we ordered was excellent: Grilled Chicken w/Yellow Rice and Green Chili was some of the most tender, flavorful chicken I've ever had. The Batagor Fried Dumplings were a large portion and very filling. We loved the peanut sauce for dipping. Lastly the Empal Gentong w/smoked brisket had a sizable portion of brisket included and the broth itself was both flavorful and light.

You can either take to go or sit at one of their shared outdoor picnic tables. Great spot to get a small taste of what Indonesian food is like. I highly recommend you give it a try!

It's a large food trailer at the corner of Metric Blvd and Cedar Bend Dr in North Austin area. I got The Awakening burger from their "Forbidden Menu" which has a bunch of different bold burgers. The Awakening definitely lived up to its name since the deep fried battered jalapeño and the Awakening sauce are very spicy (and delicious). The patty isn't huge and is a smash burger style, but the burger was filling and bun was very fresh tasting. I even ran into a nice guy at the window for the pickup and we recognized each other from when he was a manager at Sonic. He's definitely at a much better place now with Buddha Burger! They also have a picnic table area with some shade if you choose to eat before you got the road again. And the corner isn't too loud, I'm fact they even had some music playing.

This instantly became my favorite burger spot around after my first visit. The staff are always kind, the food comes out fast, and everything I've had has been consistently amazing. The Cajun fries are a must. They're packed with flavor and have just the right amount of kick. I've worked my way through pretty much the whole menu at this point, including several burgers and even the chicken sandwich's, and honestly it's all been ridiculously good. The burger patties are flavorful, juicy, and perfectly greasy in the best possible way. The Nirvana sauce takes everything to another level and has become mandatory for me anytime I go. My personal favorite is the California Classic, and I always get the double because it's just too good not to. It's definitely one of those indulgent meals you try not to have too often, but every time I cave and go back, it completely delivers.

I'm writing this review partly as a public service because this was surprisingly hard to find in…read moreAustin. I wanted a very specific kind of burrito: cheese grilled directly onto the OUTSIDE of the tortilla, so the whole thing develops a crispy, browned cheese crust on the flat-top. Not queso poured over it, not extra cheese inside, and not simply a regular burrito pressed on the grill. Asado's will make it. You just need to ask. Mine came out beautifully toasted with a deep golden-brown exterior and melted cheese around the seams. Exactly what I had been looking for after having a similar burrito from a food truck in Houston. So, for anyone who ends up here after searching for a grilled cheese burrito, crispy cheese burrito, toasted cheesy burrito, cheese-crusted burrito, or quesaburrito in Austin: order whatever burrito you want and ask them to grill cheese onto the outside. Future burrito hunters: you're welcome.

While we waited for our food we were outside and they had multiple fans and misters going for everyone to stay cool. We ordered 2 regular burritos (1 Carnitas & 1 Steak). First we split the burrito and noticed that there was not a lot of meat. HOWEVER, all of the meat is on the ends and I wish they would distribute better throughout the burrito. We also ordered with sour cream and they forgot. We will definitely be back and for the carnitas burrito! it was really good and extremely filling.
