    a variety of snacks
    Sara H.

    We hired The Peached Tortilla to cater our wedding (3/27/2021), and would do it again in a heartbeat! When we originally booked with them (pre-pandemic) we expressed that we would have about 100 guests. When our final numbers came back at under 40, we were prepared to battle. Fortunately, we didn't have to. Lora Null (our catering lead) worked with us to adjust our food minimum and helped us choose a bar package that suited our needs! Regarding the food itself, superb! Both foodies and non-foodies alike complemented us on our food choices! I am still dreaming about the stuffed avocado and mac and cheese! We even got some of our locals hooked on the food that they are going to try it themselves! Truly, amazing food! We had a variety of dietary needs within our group (vegetarian, latex, nut allergies, citrus allergies) and Lora and her team worked to ensure they knew who had what allergy- and ensured the safety of our guests. Directly after our ceremony, Lora ensured that my husband and I had whatever drink we wanted, even if it was just water. The staff at The Peached Tortilla were amazing regarding service. We had food stations, but the servers ensured that my husband and I were served first, and didn't have to get into line. They asked us if we wanted any seconds, and continuously checked on our well-being food wise. It was truly a magical day, and the food truly surpassed even my expectations, and I knew it would be good. Would give them 10 stars if I could! Photos by: Two Pair Photography

    Pork Belly Banh Mi Taco w/ Pickled Daikon & Carrots, Sriracha and Cilantro! SUPER YUMMY!

    * * * * *UPDATE* * * * * After posting my Yelp review, I immediately received a kind message from the Owner of The Peached Tortilla. He apologized for the wait because they had zero control over the equipment. They also had volunteers which were given to them that day so there wasn't much time to train them. This totally explains why there was a wait for the tacos especially when there was such a high demand. It's very rarely that I get a message from Owners apologizing, so for this I greatly appreciate and must award them with the extra star I had previously deducted for the disorganization that was actually not their fault. SO 5 STARS FOR THE PEACHED TORTILLA!!! Why, oh why MUST you guys be SO far! *sigh* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * * ~ * ~* ~ ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ ~ * ~ * ~ Asian Fusion Tacos from a Texas Food Truck? Ehh, it can't be good right? WRONG!!! As a perpetual food truck chaser, I'm always on a lookout for new food trucks so I was excited when I found out there would be a line-up of out-of-city and out-of-state food trucks at the 3rd Annual San Francisco Street Food Festival this past Saturday, 8.20.11. Several days prior to the festival, I did my due diligence of Yelping all of the visiting food trucks since my tummy could not fit food from 60+ vendors (I would have attempted to but didn't want to spend my Saturday night in the ER). We have a lot of Asian Fusion Food Trucks in SF, most of which totally miss the mark with in terms of having bold, authentic Asian flavors. And being from Texas and not being Asian owned (CORRECTION: The owner is Hapa), I had my suspicions about The Peached Tortilla. Nonetheless, I wanted to try it they were making a special appearance in SF. At the SF Street Food Festival, The Peached Tortilla had two offerings: *THE BAHN MI TACO: Braised Pork Belly, Pickled Daikon & Carrots, Sriracha Mayo & Cilantro ($3) *THE PAD THAI TACO: Chicken or Tofu in Pad Thai Sauce, Bean Sprouts, Peanuts, and Lime ($3) When we placed our order at 11:45 AM, they ran out of Bahn Mi Tacos so we paid and waited for a new batch to come out which took about 7 minutes. It was very confusing because there were two windows for ordering (no separate pick-up window), they never took down our name and we were never given a receipt or number. There was a small crowd of people also waiting for the Bahn Mi Tacos; all not knowing who was first in line to get the next batch. For a street food festival that spread across 7 streets and was packed with several thousands of people, this was very disorganized on the truck's part which is why I had to knock down 1 Star. BANH MI TACO - THE BEST ASIAN FUSION TACO I'VE HAD! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/SIIzjxEP8-SMxVQPp8qPBQ?select=wKjW0TCTRKem3mOk-wSwgA Atop a flour tortilla (allows the flavors to shine through more than a corn tortilla) were tender, melt-in-your mouth chunks of pork belly, crisp daikon and carrots, a creamy sriracha mayo and fresh sprigs of cilantro. Each bite was filled with a savory richness from the pork belly which was balanced by the acidic veggies with a nice kick from the aioli. The taco was savory, sweet, sour and spicy nirvana and encompassed all the authentic flavors of a bahn mi! SUCCESS! Coming from an Asian household where my mom can't even properly cook the most basic Chinese dish without burning it, overcooking it or it tasting like it came from a steam tray at a 1 Star Chinese Buffet Restaurant (Sorry, Ma), I have mad respect when a Hapa can nail down the authentic flavors of Asian cuisine. The Peached Tortilla has done this, so much so that it TRUMPS SF's Kung Fu Tacos, Hapa SF, Senor Sisig, IZ IT in terms of bold Asian flavors and quality ingredients. Looks like we need to take a lesson from the Texans...

    Pad Thai bowl with extra fried egg (thanks to yelp coupon) and spaghetti squash taco.
    Rebecca Y.

    As a vegetarian, I thought Peached Tortilla could easily accomodate me, but the only vegetarian items they have are Tofu Pad Thai in the form of a bowl, burrito or taco, and the Pulled Squash taco. They offer several daily specials, but never any vegetarian specials. The Pad Thai with fried egg on top is a nice addition (and you can get an extra egg with yelp check-in), but the egg and lime juice are the only things that save the Pad Thai. Without it, the dish is dry and flavorless, with too many peanuts. Rice always seems a bit undercooked. I didn't like the pulled squash taco. The pulled squash was bland and mushy and just not pleasant. Cake pops were really good, though. Of the three times I've been, I got short changed once, and the other two times the cashiers had trouble making the correct change. It's just unprofessional. I was so excited about The Peached Tortilla, but to me, it's just hype.

    Belgian Fries and (left to right) the Chinese BBQ with Pork Belly, Banh Mi, and BBQ Brisket tacos
    Henry L.

    The Short: Pricey, but one of the best tacos I've ever had! Gotta get any taco with pork belly! In a taco-crazed city, raves about a taco food truck is a big deal, and I had to try it. I ordered the BBQ Brisket Taco, the Chinese BBQ Taco with Pork Belly, and the Belgian fries. I'll start with this: their pork belly and brisket are amazing! The pork belly had a high fat:meat ratio, so flavors were strong and they were delicious. I've had pork belly plenty of times in my life, but these are on a whole new level. Each bite was explosive in taste and paired well with the Asian slaw, Chinese BBQ sauce, and the cilantro. It tasted like the Chinese BBQ sauce had a component of Hoisin sauce, and its sweetness was perfect for the pork belly. Meaty, sweet, and fresh ingredients all wrapped within a lovely flour tortilla; I could eat these all day! The brisket was moist and seasoned very well. I nearly took off points for the lack of fattiness, but then I realized that a lot of it just fell out of the taco as I was eating it! The BBQ was slightly heavy for my taste (I usually don't eat meat with sauce), but like the Chinese BBQ Taco, the savory brisket complements well with the fresh slaw and the sweet BBQ sauce. The Belgian fries to me weren't all that special. However, they were very very crispy and not too salty at all. The Parmesan cheese topping was a good extra layer or flavor as well. I could easily rank these fries in my top 5. The only reason why I'm struggling to give Peached Tortilla 5 stars is cause of the price. It's almost unfair because given the price, while the quantity is lacking, the quality of the tacos is definitely worth it. I would've loved to have at least twice as much fries after paying $3.50 for them. You know what? Pork belly is mad difficult to make and Peach Tortilla killed it! Have your 5 stars!

    A roppongi dog with a fried egg. Both delicious and beautiful.
    Colin D.

    The Peached Tortilla is one of the best food trucks/trailers in Austin. The Roppongi Dog is beyond amazing. It's an asian-style hot dog with pork belly stuffed in the middle of the hot dog and a fried egg on top. I just wish that they served it more often. I think it's my favorite food truck dish--full stop. The other things here are also great. The Bahn Mi Sliders stand out as does the Japajam Burger. The variety makes this one of the few places where even the most conventional of my coworkers can eat happily alongside those of us who want something new, different, fusion, and dare-I-say even hipster. I've had a bit less luck with the brisket from here, but that's only because brisket at other places in Austin is so damn good. In general, the best stuff on the menu is what makes use of their sauces which are exceptional. Their bacon jam, their peach sauce, and their sriracha mayo are all stunning. The only drawback of this place is that they don't serve the Roppongi dog more often.

    OJ with a splash of champagne

    Been to Peached Tortilla many times for dinner, so delicious! First time for brunch this past weekend. Started out with the normal go-to; the Brussels with bacon jam. YUM. Make sure you add the sauces. Then the breakfast drinks came and things got weird. I ordered a mimosa, and it was suspiciously opaque upon arrival. As any frequent bruncher knows - a mimosa should be mostly champagne with some OJ mixed in. I took a sip, and sure enough it tasted like... orange juice. Photo for reference. I politely pointed this out to the server, who took my glass and said she'd see what she could do, maybe they could top it off with some champagne for me. When she came back... she had the same glass with her, and said "The bar says the ratio is 2/3 champagne with 1/3 orange juice. If you wanted us to top you off we'd have to charge you for it." And then she walked off. I was honestly pretty stunned by this response. My friends were as well and thought I had been reasonable. I worked in restaurants for many years and never would have said something like this to a customer. Even if the bar disagreed... it literally would've been no skin off their back to top off the drink. Instead, the result was a very uncomfortable interaction between the server and our entire table, that left a bad taste in all of our mouths. Not to mention paying $7 for a glass of orange juice. She came back after that and asked if "everything tasted alright" and I almost asked... "would it matter if it didn't?!" Overall I do actually like this restaurant very much and will go back. But I'll be ordering a beer. Lol

    chicken satay taco and banh mi slider
    Tee D.

    We stopped by last night to grab a quick bite before heading to a show. I love the concept, and the menu had a few interesting options (pork belly sliders/tacos, crunchy catfish tacos, Belgian fries). The execution, however, was lacking. I ordered the Banh Mi (pork belly) slider and the chicken satay taco. The boy ordered the crunch catfish taco and the brisket taco and a side of fries. All our food - with the exception of the fries - was cold or lukewarm. My chicken satay taco had chunks of chicken that were slightly warm and chunks that were cold. My pork belly slider was actually cold. Have you ever eaten cold pork belly? It's not awesome. The boy's food did not fare any better. His brisket and fish tacos were lukewarm, and he wasn't crazy about the coleslaw they use in their tacos. Even though our tacos and sliders were really disappointing, the fries were pretty tasty. I liked that they had several types of unique dipping sauces that came with the fries, but the boy did not like that they didn't have just simple ketchup. I will say that the portions are teeny tiny for the price. I'd guess that you'd probably have to eat at least 4-5 sliders to be satiated. The guy running the trailer was friendly and nice, so it saddens me to write a not so glowing review. I'm also hoping that maybe it was an off night for them, but with all the food options in downtown now, I doubt I will give them a second chance.

    Good golly miss molly! This trailer has some jaw-dropping, delectable morsels to be had. And I am so glad I finally found these guys close by in their daily lunch and dinner travels of Austin. For my first visit, I had to try a highly rated BBQ brisket taco. Oh the cole slaw and the brisket - together with the sauce made such a unique and delectable taste combination. Throwing caution in the wind, I went with the new menu selections - crab cake sliders and fried wantons. What are in these wanton, you may ask -banana nutella mix topped with a cajeta cream sauce. Drooling yet? I was. Next time I am ordering two of these babies. One order was not enough to satisfy my undying flame of love that consumed me after that last bite was gone. The crab cake slider was also delicious in its own right - very crispy with just the perfect amount of slaw. On a side note, the owner was very friendly and personable. Could this experience be any greater? I'm not waiting for this trailer to come by work or home anymore. I will now go out and seek them anywhere in town when the desire strikes. I feel a food crush in the making.

    3.5 stars I ordered the Banh Mi slider and Fish Taco w/ fries + spicy mayo. I was extremely hungry and thought this wasn't going to fill me up but it did! The wait was a tad long but there were a lot of people there. I went when they posted up by Star Bar and it was around 8-9 PM? There's no place to really put down your food and eat but there were some people sitting inside the patio area of Star Bar I think. This place didn't wow me but I think it was enjoyable. I would recommend going for first timers of food truck experience!

    Umm Peached Tortilla is so good I need to update my review AGAIN ;] My bf got his usual... 2 catfish tacos, 1 banh mi slider, and 1 BBQ brisket slider. He usually hates it when I drag him downtown to get food (esp on a Friday night) but he will do it without complaints for Peached Tortilla. I got the one thing I've been wanting to try for weeks.. The crab cake slider. OH HOLY GEEZ. It is BOMB-DIGGITY good. So much flavor inside these buttery buns. Whoever hasn't had it yet, DEFINITELY needs to try it! ALSO, try the chicken satay taco. The peanut sauce inside is DYNAMITE. And to the haters, just keep on hatin'. It just fuels the fire. The delicious peached fire. YUM! P.S. Eric is the nicest guy. I always get good food and good conversation whenever I come to Peached =)

    The Menu!
    Raymond S.

    We stumbled onto this trailer behind star bar on west 6th. I have always wanted to try this place but by sheer luck we accidentally ran into it. Fate must have brought us here! I wanted to try the entire menu but I had already eaten dinner so my buddy and I split the crab cake and banh mi sliders. The banh mi is a vietnamese sandwich and they used pork belly which melts in your mouth! The crunchiness from the carrot and daikon salad complement the pork with the creamy sauce! The crab cake sliders were good but not as good as the banh mi sliders. The cabbage and slaw worked well with the crab cakes providing just enough veggies to not feel guilty. The crab cake itself was slighty crunchy on the outside and mushy inside. Not a lot of crab in crab cake but didn't expect it overflowing with crab for $3 I'm definitely hooked on coming back here with an empty stomach to try the entire menu....in one sitting. ok maybe in 2 sittings

    Mike K.

    First off, the whole concept on finding out where the truck is going to be and getting to it: pretty cool. Makes for a nice little adventure, especially if you're trying to hit this place on a lunch hour. As for the food - it's awesome. Pad thai tacos, crab cake sliders, banh mi tacos, deep fried banana and nutella wontons in caramel glaze..? Are you kidding me?? Service was great. Ordering was painless and the food was out in a flash. This, during lunch hour. PT is the bees knees.

    Came here on a Sunday dinnertime with some friends for Vietnamese food. Showed up around 6 PM and…read morethey weren't too busy. Parking was plentiful. It's located in a strip mall with a pretty unassuming entrance. Service was great, we were warmly greeted, and they have a moderate amount of seating, though it wasn't crowded during our visit. Mostly Vietnamese food on the menu, but they also offer a lot of variety: Tom Kha Pho, iced coffee, Korean shaved ice (bingsoo), banh mi, and rice dishes. Feels like they're mostly Vietnamese focused with some fun extras mixed in. It's a pretty chill setup, you pay first at the counter, then they bring your food along with a water bottle. Pho ($17, 7/10) - Pretty standard, good flavor, large portions in a large bowl - Standard sides with mint, lime, jalapenos, and bean sprouts - No option to choose your meat, it just comes with brisket and meatballs (though I didn't ask, so maybe substitutions are possible) - Generous with the meat portions though, which was a nice bonus - Broth was rich and flavorful, plenty of noodles, left me satisfied. Definitely can compete with specialized pho spots in town Someone else at the table got the Tom Kha Pho, and it looked really good and creamy, definitely want to try that next time. Overall, this spot feels very family oriented and homestyle. Really enjoyed this meal.

    We've been to Azure a handful of times now, and I honestly think it deserves to be called Azure…read moreAsian Fusion & Cafe because the food deserves just as much attention as the drinks and desserts. It's surprisingly hard to find Asian fusion done properly. By that, I mean food created by people who actually understand the different Asian cuisines they're pulling from; not just combining ingredients and calling it fusion. Doing it right is knowing the flavors, techniques and ingredients well enough to bring them together in a way that is optimal and respectful to the cultures and regional cuisines being represented. Definitely check them out for lunch or dinner, or even just drop in for dessert like we've done: Bánh Xèo Tacos ($14.99) Vietnamese x Mexican: The banh xeo shell was incredibly crunchy without being messy. It's filled with shrimp, pork belly, vegetables and pickles, with a cilantro-lime dipping sauce. You can also ask for Vietnamese nước chấm. The meat was moist and flavorful, and that cilantro-lime sauce was seriously addictive. Vermicelli Bowl ($16.99) Vietnamese x Japanese: This was so refreshing. It had wakame, red pickles, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes and carrots. The meat was well-marinated, and I'd definitely order it again. Papaya Salad ($13.99) Vietnamese x Thai. It was served with a whole fried soft-shell crab and shrimp chips. It leans sweeter from the Vietnamese nước chấm, which I personally prefer but still kept the nod for raw crab for the Thai but in a way of the fried softshell crab. We've also had their croffles, drinks and bingsu, but the Chè Thái Bingsu ($13.99 L / $10.99 M) is our favorite. Vietnamese chè Thái meets Korean bingsu, and somehow it's even better together, lighter and less overpowering than traditional chè.

As we walked in, we were immediately greeted with a friendly voice from the front desk. They asked how many people were in our party, then seated us right away. They noticed that the table where we sat was a little wobbly, so they fixed it right away. We ordered a glass of red wine, a hot and sour soup, sesame chicken, beef kate-kare, a diet coke, leche flan and halo-halo. I was a bit hesitant about ordering the wine. I asked for a sample, and found out that it was decent, so I ordered a full glass. My partner, Stuart, loved the hot and sour soup. He said that it was better than Qi's hot and sour soup. He really enjoyed the sesame chicken with the broccoli being a little crispy. As for my beef kare-kare, it was a new experience for me. I've only had this dish with oxtail. It is served with a lovely side of bagaoon for a burst of flavor. The leche flan was too eggy for my friend, but a nice reminder of home for me. I love when halo-halo has bits of flan on it. Today, it did, so extra flan always makes my day. Altogether, the food, cleanliness and attentive service give this restaurant 5 stars!

    I met a couple of friends here last week for an early (before 5pm) get together that I thought was…read morea happy hour, but turns out they don't have happy hour so we paid regular prices. The place reminded me of Ling Wu in the Grove area because the decor looked similar. Maybe they are owned by the same people? Firstly, I was impressed with the fact they had a FREE parking garage nearby since this is in the downtown area and next to Whole Foods. It took me a bit to find it as I'm directionally challenged, but I did and was just running a bit late. We really enjoyed the food and cocktails. I got the Singaporean noodles, a mezcal drink, and a sake. The serving size was big so I had plenty to take home. We shared many of the other dumplings and dim sum items. Everything was very good! The place wasn't too crowded so after we paid our bill we sat around for a while longer to chat and catch up. Usually someone would come by to see if we needed or wanted anything further, but no one did so we kept chatting and left. I'm happy to know of a central location with easy parking as a future place to meet people. I wish they had a happy hour because the bill for 3 of us was unexpectedly higher than usual.

    Very nice establishment with great interior design touch, however the food was lacking for the…read moreprice. I went with my brother and we had a fun time talking with the people around us. For $150/head you get solid Chinese food, with nice presentation. To me, if I consider the $150 price point for the meal, paying simply for presentation is not enough, especially if you consider other restaurants competing at this price point in the Austin area. Very few of the dishes had any real flavor advancements/innovations past the original Chinese dish it was based on. For example, the salt and pepper lobster comes out in this fancy wide wooden dish, filled with dried peppers, and then is seated on a textured stone bowl with sliced lettuce under the lobster tail. All to get 2 bites of typical tasting lobster. Was the lobster good? yes, but the general feeling is pay more to get better presentation, and less food for the money, not a food taste upgrade. To be fair, that may be what the restaurant is targeting. To contextualize Ling's kitchen, I feel as if you would be able to get a larger version of most if not all dishes, with similar quality in Houston for $20. For $150 you would be able to feed an entire family with drinks and dessert normally so I do not feel as if the money is worth it. Not much innovation on the flavors for the palate, but the food had very cute visuals. Service was nice, and the Chef's energy was infectious.

    Finally had a chance to try this out to celebrate my wife's birthday. If you get tired of reading,…read morethe punchline is "this is a meal you should go enjoy!" When you arrive, you are gathered in a side room with the other guests and served prosecco or tea, and a tasty opening bite. Our hosts were Nick and Mateo, and they were solid throughout the meal. If you want any wine/sake, you get that selected at this time (bottles only). We chose a sauv blanc from Round Pond, a CA vineyard where we'd visited with family years ago. Many of the dishes are seafood so this was a nice pairing. Once the group has arrived, you're seated around a giant and well decorated table in the actual kitchen. It's a super cool vibe with nice music and intimate lighting. Each course is announced with a gong, and thoughtfully explained, including the connection to Chef Ling and how to best enjoy. I didn't come across anything I didn't love, but I'll highlight a few of my favorites. The fried taro with spicy crabmeat aioli ate like a delicious crab cake! The dry aged Peking duck was a stunner, coming in a smoke filled wooden box. One piece was meant to be eaten in fluffy bun, the other to be enjoyed more purely. There's also a smoked duck tongue which is tasty, just trust me! There's also filet mignon was rich and tender, laying in a delicious green sauce. Chef's kiss! Midway through the meal you are invited to introduce yourself briefly to the table. You also get to walk around enjoy some extra bites and visit with the chefs. It was a charming and diverse crowd. A real slice of Austin. See my pictures for a good sense of what you're in for. You will definitely not leave hungry or disappointed. Chef Ling is present and makes her way around the table during the meal. She is kind and humble, but clearly knows what she's doing!
