Smash burger
Edward G.

This place is in a growing food truck park on McNeil. There's definitely been some turnover here, I've reviewed a couple spots that are no longer there, but I'm really hoping Si Baby-Q sticks around, it was great! Being the loose-cannon I am, I went to a barbecue trailer and ordered the smash burger, and it was excellent. The cheese was fully melted and gooey, the toppings worked well, and the patty had a subtle smokiness that reminded you this is coming from a BBQ joint. It came wrapped in foil paper, so everything steams together a bit, the bun compresses, and all the flavors meld, which to me is the right way to do a smash burger. The guy working was super friendly, greeted me right away, and even walked the food over after I'd wandered way down to some picnic tables since the park is huge now. No fries yet, but they said they're working on smoked chips, which feels very on-brand and earns extra points for sticking with the things-that-can-be-smoked theme.

Sauce

Thank you for a delicious takeout birthday lunch! We ordered late so they were out of some things (the sign of great BBQ joint!). Here's where we tried: 1 brisket - great flavor and not overpoweringly smokey. The sauce was pretty perfect. Sweet, good kick of heat and pepperiness, and a hint of sweetness. 2. Turkey - was so tender that when I poked it with a fork to pick up a slice and fell apart! 3. Ribs were delicious and so fall off the bone. The fat was rendered just perfectly that they weren't too heavy. 4. Pork belly - everyone loved it and my mother-in-law who despises pork belly said it was delicious and loved it! That's saying something! 5. Steak tacos - unexpected addition to our order yet might have been the star of the show. They were perfect balance of delicious meat and the right toppings on a perfect tortilla. I will get these the next time I visit. This would be loved by anyone who isn't a barbecue fan but just loves good steak tacos. 6. They were out of many of the sides, but we tried the corn and the pasta and cheese.. The icing on the cake was the amazing customer service! Jonathan and the crew were wonderful and friendly. The only thing that would have made this experience better was if they had bread, jalapeños, and onions to go with the meal, but perhaps we had to request them and we didn't during pickup. We will return! P.S. Thanks for the garlic!

Half of the 505 burger

This is a food truck that popped up at the pink flamingo food truck park next to the water tank bar & restaurant. We come here a lot and wanted to try it out. This barbecue was unique in a few ways that I enjoyed. The sauce was uniquely flavored and had a good amount of seasoning. It had more depth than a regular "sweet" or "hot" bbq sauce. We also got a brisket sandwich that had great flavor, and some "fiend" elote which is their brisket, queso fresco, and cilantro on top of some boiled corn. That was really tasty and had some creamy sauce at the bottom. The item that stood out the most to me was the smash burger for one reason; it had a crunchy texture throughout the burger. Usually when I order a smash burger, it's one texture, soggy. But good! But this time, it had crunch and it was delicious. For two of us, we finished a smash burger, a 505 burger, a brisket sandwich, and a fiend elote. The items do come a little small so make sure you order a lot.

Absolutely amazing super nice guy. Hope to sell food was best I've had in a while super juicy super tender, flavorful seasoned amazingly and being outside gives you the extra special touch.

Ribs, Queso Y Noodles, frito pie
Elle K.

Absolutely loved this take on BBQ. The flavors were incredible and meat was juicy and tender. The pork ribs and the sausage were my favorite meats. For sides, the street corn awesome and better than I expected. It's not like typical street corn. The potato salad and frito pie were probably second favorite sides. I usually don't like a mustard base potato salad but loved this one. The queso noodles were good just not nearly as impressive or flavorful as everything else. The distillery the truck is at now has a gorgeous outside area to eat, drink and hang out. Lots of tables and room to eat with shade. The pit masters were so friendly and helpful. They even walked our food out to us. Will definitely be back to try some more and will be back for those ribs!!

brisket, spare ribs , roti, smoked kimchi
Darian C.

The brisket and spare ribs were really good, we got a quarter pound of each and it was enough for 2 people. I liked the brisket a little better than the spare ribs just because the ribs were a little too sweet. other than that they were both really tender and juicy. The smoked kimchi was a bit disappointing. I liked the roti, it was cooked well and flaky and crispy. There is free valet parking and they have a cute seating area that's outdoors. The service is really quick and they were nice.

Stopped by Si Baby-Q for my last day in TX. In a world where Monday joints are very few this was an awesome stop. Open 7 days a week even! I stopped by a year ago and they were parked in a different location. I like this new spot under trees. I remember loving the sausage and kimchi here last time but sadly none today. But still enjoyed the other meats. The slices of brisket I got were from the point and probably out of this week the crunchiest brisket bark. The contrast of texture from the melty fat and the tender point was wonderful. The ribs were a little more tender than I like but the sweet glaze on top was wonderful and the pork was still juicy. What I loved the most is the pork belly burnt ends. Sauced up with a sweet chili sauce. Sweet and tangy on top of the fatty pork. I could easily eat these all day. I think it was better than the last time I stopped by a year ago and I've already told my Austin coworkers they need to stop by since the office is only a short drive away.

AMBIANCE: - This is a food truck next to the main restaurant. They have plenty of outdoor seating. They validate parking at the garage next door. - The prices at the food truck were less expensive than the main restaurant, so a good way to try the flavors! FOOD: - We ordered the brisket sandwich and the pulled lamb shoulder. Both were very rich, tender, and filling. I liked the sandwich better because it had more texture. - We also ordered the esquires chinos. The flavor was okay, but I think it could've been better.

We just happened upon this food truck after we couldn't find the restaurant we were searching for. That was our good fortune. I can't begin to describe how good our food was. It's probably the best BBQ I've ever had, especially the sweet chili pork belly burnt ends--probably the most delicious food I've ever had. This isn't just hyperbole, I've had about 36 hours to think my experience over. The street corn is also indescribably delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed and service was excellent and friendly. I live about 150 miles from Austin and I'm already planning a trip back just for this food.

Solid BBQ spot with some standout items. The brisket was definitely the highlight--tender, smoky, and full of flavor. I also enjoyed the smash burger and the fiend elote; both were well-executed and hit the right notes. I tried the 505 burger, which had chorizo and queso--interesting combo, but the queso didn't quite work for me. Still, overall a good experience and worth checking out if you're into BBQ with some creative menu options.

This food was exceptional!! I placed the order online and it was ready extremely quickly. Everything was so flavorful and unique. Their pita was flaky and delicious, truly was incredible to enjoy. They have plenty of picnic tables if you choose to dine there or take it to go. Highly recommend!

Brisket and Ribs. The ribs are truly incredible do not sleep on them

The second you take that first bite, you already know you made the right call pulling up. The jerk is absolutely unreal. It's perfectly seasoned, smoky, and has just the right amount of kick. It doesn't overpower anything, it just hits exactly how it's supposed to. And being able to build your own bowl is a game changer. Rice, mac and cheese, mix and match whatever you're in the mood for, they've got it. That mac and cheese deserves its own moment too because it's creamy, rich, and honestly addictive. And the beef patties... yeah, good luck eating just one. Flaky, packed with flavor, and gone before you even realize it. Everything about this spot just works. The flavor, the portions, the whole vibe. You can tell this food is made with care, not just thrown together. Don't walk, run to Mr. Pimento. You're seriously missing out if you don't.

Great service. Got…read morethe half and half bowl, have mac n cheese, half rice. I added extra chicken. Rice had a nice spice to it. The MnC was lovely. The corn they add was very yummy. The slaw was a nice refreshing bite. The chicken was bordering over cooked as some of it was a little dry. The flavor wasn't as pronounced as I was expecting though; I didn't get any heat, ginger, allspice from it. The fire sauce was nicely hot, about a 6 for me. The spicy ketchup was good and actually hotter. I got the empanada too; nicely flakey and good flavor as well. I had left overs of both so in my mind it's a good deal; two meals for one price($26 before tip). Will go back.

Our family has deep ties to Guam as my mom is from there, and Hawaii as my dad was stationed there for many years in the air force and I was born there! I also grew up in California where access to Hawaiian / Pacific Islander food and culture is everywhere. Needless to say I was blown away! There are very few places to order a mixed plate here in Austin and this tasted the closest I've had to home in a long time. We ordered the Ohana Platter, Garlic Butter Shrimp Plate, Maui Kalbi Ribs, and Spam Musubi. Everything was hot and delicious and so so so flavorful. The finedene was an amazing touch. I wish I had gotten a chance to order a plate of red rice to complete my craving but I will definitely be back to order a catering pan of it!

There's plenty of outdoor seating but little shade, so you decide if you want to brave the heat or eat in your car. The plate lunch is a classic and they do it proud here. It typically consists of a protein, a few scoops of rice and macaroni salad. I went with the Huli Huli chicken, which is more or less grilled teriyaki cooked with extra pineapple tang. They give a good amount of meat for the price. Food takes a bit of time but I appreciate them cooking it fresh. They got other classics like loco moco too!
