    Quesa Birria Taacos Plate witih Consome
    Lucy V.

    the food came out fresh and portion is decent, sauces are great! the consume is good to dip into.

    taco compachano and birria
    Darian C.

    Their compachano tacos were good, the meat was cooked well and was tender. I didn't enjoy the birria tacos as much, the meat was much more tough and the cosume was alright. I would go back to try more of their tacos, it's in a little trailer with a pseudo outdoor area.

    Excellent breakfast tacos made fresh. The flour tortillas are excellent. Thin and delicious. The eggs, chorizo and bacon tacos are perfect. Good balance of meat and egg. Hard to beat their prices. Service is friendly and quick.

    Nice food truck with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Great prices. Service was quick, given three types of hot sauce. Only one dollar for a bottle of water.

    Al Pastor Taco & Barbacoa Taco
    Stephanie C.

    So surprising to find authentic, tasty tacos in north Austin, and a food truck at that! I enjoyed the pastor and barbacoa tacos and their prices definitely can't be beat. The cashiers/cooks were very nice and playful and overall it was just a good vibe! I also like that they had enclosed seating area that made it feel a little cooler on a hot day. They also sell health juices made with pineapple, chard, spinach, etc. I didn't get to try it this time, but will definitely be returning to try their health juices in the future

    We have tried many tortas in Austin, and this spot truly stands out as the best barbacoa torta so far. The portion is very generous--be prepared, it is huge. While the single meat taco was average, the quesabirria was quite good, and the consomé was exceptional, with one of the richest flavors we have experienced. The staff was very kind and welcoming; although they did not speak much English, their hospitality made the visit all the more enjoyable. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food and an unforgettable torta, this is absolutely worth a visit. We look forward to returning.

    Breakfast tacos made to order
    Steffie S.

    I stopped in here after church for some breakfast tacos. You often find the best food at trailer parks. The place was clean, and the service was prompt. My breakfast tacos were prepared upon ordering; they were not sitting around waiting to be claimed. Delicious and fresh. My only suggested change is free water. I do not want to contribute to single use plastic bottles, so I take a water bottle everywhere I go. They declined to fill it, and that made me sad. A simple plastic water cooler in the dining area would have made this perfect.

    Only the freshest ingredients here. Love the tostado. Or chalupa I like to call it. lol. Chicken fajita is the best. Don't forget the latest next door addition of " Antojitos Jessica" Fresh blended fruits or veggies. The Lunes is really good. Can't wait to try the Martes Thank you Jorge And Loyola.

    Found our new FAVORITE taco spot near our house! Can't believe we've missed out on this place all this time. In a small food trailer park I've driven by many times, just never noticed I guess. We tried campechano, al pastor, barbacoa & bistec tacos. My favorite was campechano, then al pastor next - more flavorful 2 out of the 4. My husband also liked barbacoa which was super tender. What made this place stand out are the housemade corn tortillas and the refrigerated fresh salsas. Wish they were open nights on weekdays so I can stop by here after work to pick up for me and my husband whenever craving tacos. But we'll definitely be coming back on weekends!

    This place is a little gem! The staff is super friendly and dining is shaded and outdoors. The food was delicious! My only complaint was one taco wasn't as full but the flavor was delicious! Overall we would come back! The price point is really good too!!

    Beef fajitas
    Naomi S.

    Cozy little food truck with outdoor seating. My food was so good and I loved the red, green and an orange sauce that I think was cheese sauce. Only con is the portions were a little smaller than I'm use to. Definitely will be back to try more on the menu.

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.

I am always on the quest for good plantains and decided to give Mr. Pimento a try. When I think of pimento I think of a sweet pepper that is mixed with cheese to create pimento cheese. Actually, pimento also known as allspice is the dried berry of the Pimenta dioica tree, native to the Caribbean. It has a combined flavor blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and pepper. Thus, Mr. Pimento is an appropriate name for this Jamaican food truck. Plantains can be cooked when they are ripe and especially sweet. Conversely, they can also be prepared when they are green and a bit tart. I like thesweet plantain version. The ones I purchased were sweet despite their darker color. They were also very soft such that you could cut them with a fork. The food truck manager were quick to make recommendations for entree choices. I did not want something too heavy so opted not to have a bowl. However, I would definitely consider it for the future. It was pretty quiet at the Flamingo food truck park.

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.
