Stopped in to try out the new food truck. Checked out the broad menu. They had multiple menus ,wasn't sure where to look. That didn't really matter after I tried to order . No one spoke any English to take my order or answer questions. I had to talk into the persons phone to translate my order . I wanted to order multiple items and try "freshly squeezed drinks" but it was just an odd scenario and uncomfortable. The staff member only knew how to say no. I was finally able to order 2x empanadas and a coke only after pointing at it . Paid $19 . I was surprised that there was zero taste off the food . Not bad or good just no taste . $15 for 2 empanadas .... Won't be making that mistake again. I took a bite and my wife tried it also, my dogs finished the rest . To their benefit the salsa was good . I'm happy to spend plenty of money on great food , and support a local business. However this was a complete let down Glad I didn't order anymore food as I originally intended too.

Farm to table organic food done right. I had a brisket taco with smoked cheese and amazing salsa, with a fresh house made sangria to wash it down. Can't wait to go back and try something else!

A year ago I tried this taco truck. One grumpy person in the truck took so long to serve the person…read morein front of me, he left his food he'd paid for. It took almost 30 min to get two tacos. The whole pinto beans in the dry taco were not palatable.

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.

We almost passed this place and had to drive down a dirt road to get here but I'm so glad we did!…read more I'll admit, when I first saw the prices on the menu I was a little surprised, but it's totally worth it and you definitely won't leave hungry! I got the pastor quesadilla and it was packed full or meat and cheese! I mean this thing was over an inch thick! The pastor was nice and juicy and packed full of flavor. The only thing that could have made it better is a little bit of sour cream to go with it. I grabbed some red and green salsas and I'll admit, the green was too spicy for me but that was pretty good and still pretty spicy. You can also purchase a variety of meats by the pound. I would recommend giving this place a try, you won't regret it!

This place is unprofessional! Called yesterday around 6:30 PM to put an order to go pick up and…read morethey took the order accepted it and then when we got there they said "someone took your order" the worse part of all was they couldn't even atleast call back and let us know hey we don't have your order so we could get food somewhere else, instead we go to pick up the order and the kitchen is completely cleaned/emptied and mind you it was barely about to be 7:00 PM. On the maps it says the hours close at 8:00 PM everyday except Friday at a later time! How inconvenient and unprofessional and a waste of time! So basically they closed early but took a to go order and wasted our time. I'd go anywhere else but here!

We came in with our extended family for a late lunch /snack after visiting the nearby Dino Park and…read morewere promptly and cordially welcomed in. It's a large space, great for groups, and it's nice there is a kids menu option. We started with water all around, plus Mexican cokes and a paloma. We shared seafood tostada, chips n guacamole, wings, and chicken flautas. Everything came out hot, fresh, and nicely seasoned. We have two gluten free folks in the group and there were plenty of corn based options. The tostadas come with three and were nice and fresh, I was a little hesitant when it said mayo, but there was just a bit to get the shrimp and imitation crab to stick together. Turned out the kids loved the wings - we tried the citrus pepper and Austin amber bbq flavors. The chicken inside the flautas was tender and we enjoyed the cabbage, onion, carrot slaw to bring a fresh crunch. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Management brought in an artist from Mexico to paint beautiful murals highlighting the Day of the Dead. The queso and fajitas were excellent. Santo Patio's Happy Hour is from 3:00-6:00. The house margaritas are 1/2 price. Everything else is the regular price. Our server, J, said she was new to Santo Patio, but I would not have known. She was very helpful and super friendly. We will ask for her again.
