Also grabbed the ELP fries and a sandia agua fresca. It's a deceptively large amount of food. I don't come as often as I should.

I took a shot in the dark we ordered mini tacos, queso birria tacos, a burrito, and elote en vaso. It was all SO DANG GOOD. i can't believe I've lived near here for so long and didn't know about it. It was behind the car wash by the vegan yacht. They have flags at the entrance so just follow the flags!! They were nice and quick about getting my order out. Everything was seasoned very nicely and tasted so good. The burrito has beans, meat, lettuce, cheese. It's just so good! I will be returning soon!!!

I recently read a list of the top 10 taco trucks in Austin. As my gringo husband is obsessed with…read moretacos, I shot him the list while he was at work. He immediately replied with a "let's do lunch" text. OBSESSED, I tell you. I packed up the tots and prayed that there would not be too long a line. I tend not to dine at highly rated local joints because lines are not so toddler friendly. Sadly, I am forced to eat at home or order takeout. Ah, motherhood. Made it there in about 10 minutes. It's easy to find and the online photos were accurate. I didn't expect much more. A run down taco truck with a flat tire. The woman taking our order was not so friendly. I smiled and chatted but she wasn't so responsive. Eh, I thought... I can live with that. The food took a while, but that was no big deal. We weren't in a hurry. As someone who really appreciates dives, mom& pop shops and a real gem of a taco truck...I have to say I was sorely disappointed. The barbacoa torta was pretty good but there was far too much fat on it. The chicken fajita plate was a decent portion. While a little dry, it was seasoned well and pure pechuga. My husband had the al pastor and when I asked how he liked he grumbled that it was "good". Not the best review from a taco junkie. All in all the food was what you'd expect from a taco truck. The real issue is the price. We ordered 2 plates and a torta, a jarriotos and a can of cola. She didn't give me a receipt and every time I attempted to pay her the cash she ignored me. It wasn't until I received our last plate that she took the dough and then she responded with a $29 total. Someone help me out here. Are shitty taco trucks charging everyone this type of capital? I haven't been out much since I had my last baby, but Jesus! There were no prices listed on the menu, and I can't help but feel like she was billing on a sliding scale. Either way, this chica will NOT be returning and neither will my gringo boys.

I've been on a hunt for a great taco spot, and I think I finally found it…read more It wasn't busy when we got there, and our food came out pretty quickly. I ordered an al pastor, lengua, and asada taco, and honestly, they were all so good. The asada was my favorite, but the other two were right behind it. The meat was flavorful, and the salsas had some heat to them, which I appreciated!!! My boyfriend ordered the chicken burrito, and it was just okay. The chicken was shredded and could've used a little more seasoning for my taste. I'm also not a huge fan of lettuce in a burrito, so that may have played a part in it not being my favorite. That being said, I'm definitely coming back because those tacos were SO good. Next time, I want to give the burrito another shot and order it my way. If it's anything like the tacos, I have a feeling it'll be a winner.

Reasonable prices, and good quality. Wish their sauces were spicier, but I also don't think they're…read moremade in house so maybe that's why. Tacos were delicious! Al pastor is on the more firm side rather than fatty soft pieces, I think it's a decent balance although would've liked a bit more soft (personal preference). I would come back if I was in this part of Austin again, and was really craving some reliable tacos. It's not impressive enough for me to go out of my way to eat, but it's a really good choice if you're passing through already. They're also very quick to get the food out, and the seating area is outdoors but has fans in some spots.

I love taco stands. Hands down there's nothing as awesome as a good taco trailer, that is unless…read morethat Taco Trailer happens to be a quick hike from your home. Ashley's Taco's is located at the Corner of Mathews and Manchaca now. I live just off Mathews so I'm lucky enough to be able to walk over and enjoy the greatness of the breakfast tacos here. The best thing about the Taco's at Ashley's is that they seem to be much less greasy than most of the Taco trailers I have visited. I've also noticed that she is very generous with the bacon in her Bacon and Egg taco's. I haven't had a chance to try the Torta's yet, but you can bet as soon as I get the chance to get over here for lunch I will take it. Do yourself a favor and make a point to stop in and try some of the awesome breakfast taco's at Ashley's. Bring some home for he family, you wont regret it.

Austin Restaurant Week takes place from August 28th through September 13th. First stop...Rollin Smoke BBQ, located in the Chalmers building, which filled with a crowd of people. I ordered a pull pork sandwich, mac-n-cheese and banana pudding. The pulled pork sandwich was huge, which I shared with the hubs. Quite honestly, I was full after eating 1/4 of the sandwich, which had cabbage, pickles and of course the pork (not the typical stringy pork but chunks of pork bursting with smokey flavor). The mac-n-cheese was substantial with cheese filled shell pasta with a hint of a smokey flavor. So yummy...Well, I might have eaten "all" the banana pudding. This was not your typical banana pudding (dense and flavorful). I certainly understand why they run out of this dessert. Service was superb! Great dining experience...

I order a very nice lite afternoon snack, 1/2 lb of Prime Pork Belly Burnt Ends, 1 Pork Sparerib, and a side of Boozy Brussels. The Prime Pork Belly Burnt Ends which are tossed in bourbon sauce and smoked again for a tender meat candy-like finish which was quite to the contrary, not overbearingly sweet, just a hint. The first time that I went to Rollin' Smoke, I wanted to order the Pork Spareribs but they weren't available so that's when I was introduced to the Pork Belly Burnt ends so today, I ordered just 1 Pork Sparerib today which was good but not great, sadly. I thoroughly enjoyed the Boozy Brussel Sprouts which were smoked and flashed fried, a balsamic glaze with whiskey soaked raisins and parmesan. I am definitely returning to check out the Half Chicken Plate with 2 small sides that I eyeballed.

I'm disappointed to be writing this, but I had an upsetting experience at the farmers market last…read moreSunday. Farmers markets are supposed to be welcoming, family-friendly spaces where local vendors, farmers, nonprofits, faith groups, and community members can come together safely and respectfully. Unfortunately, I witnessed something that made the environment feel anything but welcoming. There was a small religious group with a table at the market, and as someone passed by, they shouted offensive racial and religious slurs at the men working the table. It was completely uncalled for. Rather than engaging in any kind of respectful conversation, this person chose to be hateful and intimidating in a public community space. I understand that the organizers may not be able to identify or remove every person who behaves this way, but I do think the market should be more proactive about making its expectations clear. A farmers market should feel safe for everyone, including vendors and community organizations that may be more likely to face harassment. Clear signage, public reminders, or stronger policies against hate speech and intolerance would go a long way. I hope the organizers take this seriously and make it clear that racism, religious intolerance, and harassment are not acceptable at this market. The community deserves a space that truly feels supportive, inclusive, and safe for all.

This one has Wonderful Farmers like the LADY FARMERS at Richardson's Farm who bring fresh meat, chicken, eggs & Chicken Livers. They raise their animals underfoot and don't supplement with nasty gmo feed. The chickens eat worms, bugs, grass, lol, just like BEFORE CORPORATE FARMING began. Whether you select Arugula (yes, with that lovely "bitter/hot" taste, figs picked the night before, or eggs taken from the chicks that morning, I promise you that your body will thank you! I am a Pescatarian for 30+ years, but every other month I get a container of Richardson Farm's Chicken Livers, and they are to die for! Tasty, fresh and nutritious too!

Parking in the close in garage is $8 so if you bring friends, it can price out to a decent price for friends and all to carpool together. Beers are $7-8, but the lemonade and ice tea is $3 with refills of $1. Score! I really enjoyed the food, drinks, and many many choices of desserts. I'm pretty sure if I didn't have a budget to not blow my allotted amount of eating out, I'd have one of everything and roll myself down the hill. Bring a large blanket to lay out on the grass, chairs to sit in should you want. Side note: they are sticklers for NO dogs on the pavement but they can certainly be on the grass. There were koozies given out by Austin Brew Company and paper fans and bug repellant, as well as doggy treats and doggy poop bags from the nearby highrise, The Catherine, marketing their beautiful new place to live. I'm sad they're done for 2015 but cannot wait to see this event back next year! Foodies rejoice, this town has got it goin' down! Beer in one hand, food in the other. Hot summer day, relaxing and listening to the Austin people play some music and your dogs frolic around!

Always have a friend with you (safety first at night, someone to sit with your things and pet). If you have a pet don't bother going up the stairs they won't let you. They watch you like a hawk even before you get near the steps. 2.Cheaper to bring your own cooler of drinks. Especially if you are coming up from taking your dog for a walk along the trail down below. 3. Be prepared to hurry up and wait. 4. keep eyes on the prize, if you want to get food from a truck watch when it dies down a bit. 5. they won't have a full menu, possibly because there's a lot of people and would probably cause a longer wait time than the usual. 6. May be helpful to bring blanket, or chair, and napkins (paper towels or wash cloth or some wipes) just in case. 7. Prepare to spend some money for both food and parking. Those are the reasons why I'm at a toss up on going sometimes. So I've been there on a weekend (they had it on a weekend once) and I've been here on the actual tuesday. They trucks change each time. I like that we can atleast say we have tried it and got an idea of what the truck is like. The prices are a bit high for what you get. It's just a great thing to do if you are social or want to be social or to meet up with friends under the stars or to have a romantic fun time. If you can't handle that maybe you need to go visit them at their regular places and enjoy the truck experience more there. hope that helps.
