    Carne Asada taco on corn
    Sam K.

    After passing by this taco truck for months, I decided to stop by for breakfast. I ordered the sausage and egg taco on a flour tortilla and a carne aside taco on corn. Pros: Very reasonable prices/ Cons: They take cash only, and wasn't really impressed with either of my tacos. Very average IMO. I can see myself coming back for a cheap meal in the future, but not much to write home about!

    So cute !

    Taco Truck? Check ! Cheap? Check! Fresh? Check! I think that pretty much sums it up. No seriously, when you wake up starving , after having had some cocktails the night before, this place is a godsend . I ordered a vegetarian combination of potatoes and eggs . The potatoes were seasoned so well! I'm not sure what they use, but I loved it. This place is next to a carwash and it's advised not to park there , but honestly, there is no other place to park , but there. Make your own choice. You will wait about 10 minutes, but it's worth the wait. I think food trucks are a huge thing in Austin, but this one is worth a try ! Everyone is very nice as well !

    I've been coming here for a legit 5 years this is THE BEST Mexican food on this side of town, yea I said it. "Taco truck" or not her food is AUTHENTIC and you can taste her passion in her food. If you haven't been here, GO!

    In the world of Yelp, I love when I see ratings for taco trucks. A taco truck could get a five star rating, and that means it's an absolutely wonderful amazing and perfect taco truck. Meanwhile, a fancy restaurant might just get three stars, that means that for fancy restaurants, that one is pretty crappy. But this taco truck, located Caddycorner to the Tesla dealership, big lots, Walgreens, and sharing some real estate with budget lube, this taco truck is amazing. I love it love it love it. Not only I love it but my family loves it. Not only we all love it but all of my kids teachers love it when I bring them tacos from this place. Fresh ingredients, made to order, amazing salsa, and superduper low prices. Bring your cash, cash only. I often call them at an ungodly hour of the morning, and order as many as 15 tacos. Never disappointed. I hope I won't regret sharing this amazing secret.

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.

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 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.

Specializing in Nepali and Himalayan cuisine, the food truck introduced me to a dish I had never tried before...momos. Momos are traditional Nepali dumplings that trace their roots back centuries to the Himalayan region. Typically filled with seasoned meat or vegetables, they can be steamed, fried, served in chili sauce, or even enjoyed in a flavorful soup. Monk's Momo offers several styles, including steamed, fried, chili, and jhol (soup-based) momos. I ordered the steamed chicken momos, and they were outstanding...fresh, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. The emphasis here is clearly on quality. The momos were served with a sesame-tomato dipping sauce that was deliciously bold...definitely a sauce that gets your attention. The manager was friendly and happy to explain the menu and dining options, making the experience even more enjoyable. Free parking at the food truck park is an added bonus. Courtyard seating provides a relaxed environment. This was a great introduction to Monk's Momos, and I'm already looking forward to returning to try more of the menu items.
