    Tacos de Bistek

    The taco special is so good, super convenient to place your order over the phone and pick up in less than 7 minutes!

    Solid Tacos coming from a tiny trailer...Service was good...Tortillas were really good...picked up 3 Bacon , Egg and Cheese...Hot, fresh and cheesy...Hot sauce had a great kick. We were headed out for a walk at St. Edwards and these hit the spot...Would definitely go back. Lot of ToGo traffic.

    Honestly, I'm from the valley near the border of Mexico so finding semi decent Mexican tacos around Austin is impossible. La traila on the other hand really impressed me, their tortillas are super fresh and just how homemade Mexican tortillas should taste like. The inside was a omelette of goodness. I got el flako which is eggs, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, onion, and cheese served with real salsa verde. If you go YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT!

    Do you like breakfast tacos? You live in Austin, of course you like Breakfast Tacos. Well then taco lover, you already know there are about a million choices in Austin when it comes to eggs wrapped in a tortilla. You can go ahead and add one more option to that already expansive list. La Trailá may not be the most exciting place, and it might not do anything really new or different, but damn it is pretty good. They have all the standard egg + meat (or potato, if you're into that) tacos as well as a few big specialty tacos. They also have this great spicy green salsa that is quite delicious. The tortillas are apparently all handmade as well, and that's pretty rad. The cost is pretty good as well. I pay roughly $1.50 for a eggs/meat taco, and roughly $2.75 for a eggs/meat/taters/avocado taco. So, La Trailá is pretty great even if it's pretty unexciting. If you happen to be driving down Mesa you should stop by and give it a shot. Oh yeah, and they are cash only... so make sure you bring some green paper.

    These are the most heavenly tacos. Ever. Came here on a whim when the line at Torchy's was ridiculously long and I'm officially hooked. Everything tastes super fresh and the prices are great! My favorite by far are the al pastor tacos. This place is truly a hidden gem.

    La traila and Yerba mate. That's my morning ritual.

    Breakfast tacos were delicious- we had migas, chorizo, sausage, and bacon. We ordered a bunch for a group and they came out very quick!

    We had Kaeng Panaeng here and it was really good! We ordered…read moreit spicy and it was a good amount of heat, the curry was a little watery, but I could deal with it. Overall it was pretty delicious and authentic! Also, huge portions of food! Ordering it to go was a good choice because we took the leftovers home. The lady that runs the truck is super friendly and engaging with her customers! I'd definitely recommend this food truck for a nice Thai fried dishes that are full of flavor and have generous portions.

    Food truck in a really nice food truck pod. Shaded, plenty of space for kids to run around and…read moresuper friendly staff. They said it would be about 20 minutes for food since they were slammed, but I appreciate knowing it was made to order, so no problems there. Tried the Kaeng Panaeng and it was good overall. Huge portion size but wasn't quite what I was expecting. Salad was pretty standard but I'm glad they kept it separate so it wouldn't wilt from the heat. As for the chicken, I was hoping by itself it would be more thai inspired/marinated/seasoned but it's effectively just chopped up chicken tenders to be dunked in the curry. The curry is flavorful, albeit a bit watery, which I wish was reduced a bit. But if curry is not your thing, my friend's Kai Zabb was very good: tangy, sweet and heat all at once, so good to really switch up bites. And while I wasn't expecting sticky rice, I can't help but say it's the first time I've had thai fried chicken without it. All in all, I think its a great new place to try out, but if you've had thai fried chicken before, just temper your expectations.
