    Coco Loco - really tasty and refreshing! Loved the toasted coconut on top
    Kat S.

    Great way to cool off after an afternoon hiking. The snow was very soft and the flavors were tasty. I got the coco loco and loved the toasted coconut on top. One review mentioned they were cash only - but when I went they had a square reader! Would go back again to try more flavors

    me and my pals were walking in the hot texas heat and we stumbled upon this fine establishment, the menu and variety is extravagant. pricing is fair and they take no tax. worker is nice

    Pineapple delight

    By far the best shaved ice in all of Austin,TX!!! I ordered the wedding cake delight. It was a combination of wedding cake and strawberry flavoring topped with fresh strawberries and cream!! We also had a pineapple delight, which was pineapple flavoring topped with fresh pineapples and cream!! If you're looking for a good way to cool down during the heat wave, this is the place.

    Delicious shave ice! Lots of favors. Cash only, but all sizes are under $5. Remember to check in so that you can utilize the offer they are currently running. I went for the coconut and pineapple favors. Partner went for Georgia Peach but it was on the weak side.

    Great tasting and super nice people! Yay!!! We had some shaved ice and a fruit cup. The fruit was great too!

    Fresh sweet goodness

    Iskas Secrets - Beef Empanada served with chimichurri sauce

    A new food truck in South Austin off Menchaca serving Cuban food. Yes! The flavors are spot on…read more Yuca Frita made fresh to order, Mojo dipping sauce for them - made fresh. So good. Highly recommend. Their slow roasted pork - lechón... is the real deal. Same for the black beans...not out of a can...slowly simmered...and perfectly seasoned. I'd prefer white long grain rice but that's alright...everything was very tasty. Will definitely be back. Hopefully they show up on a local food delivery service soon. Note: Credit card charges come up like this, at least on my credit card statement: "GDP*Iskagener, LLC Austin TX"

    Awful. Got dinner from there and it was a huge disappointment. First of all, the empanadas…read moreappetizer is one empanada. Not sure why it is plural on the menu. The worst was the veggie sandwich (pictured). This was before I ate any of it. It was literally Swiss cheese, one slice of tomato, 1 piece of romaine, and a few avocado chunks. The menu said it would also have onions, but either it didn't or the amount was so small I could neither see nor taste it. I tried to eat the sandwich but it tasted like bread with wilted lettuce, so I ended up throwing it away after a few bites. The worst part was that it took 20+ minutes to get the food.... And you have to stand there and wait. They don't text you or anything. I love the Hive, but will be telling everyone I know to avoid this food truck. We got one taco that was decent. A bit dry, but fine. Granted, you can find a lot of tacos that are better than "fine" in Austin.

The flavors are bold, balanced, and deeply comforting. Their dishes tastes thoughtfully prepared, with fresh ingredients and that unmistakable homemade quality you only get when food is cooked with intention and pride. Their green curry is rich and aromatic, their crab fried rice is perfectly seasoned, and the spice levels are spot-on--clearly made by people who understand Thai cuisine, not just imitate it. What truly sets Gotji's Kitchen apart is the heart behind the food. You can tell this is a place rooted in tradition, hospitality, and love for cooking. If you're looking for authentic Thai food that delivers on flavor, warmth, and consistency, Gotji's Kitchen is a must-visit. This is the kind of place you don't just try once but keep coming back to. Bring your family and friends and spread the word, Gotji's Kitchen is the G.O.A.T. No pictures because I was too busy enjoying my meal #SorryNotSorry

The shrimp tasted old so I wasn't able to even eat that dish. The arrabiata and mushroom pastas were not very good.

    Biggie's Yardbird sits inside Armadillo Den, the beer-garden-plus-food-trailers spot, which is…read morehonestly a very cool setup. Tons of picnic tables, a big bar for drinks, and even a little fountain you can sit by. Great place to hang out. I ordered the smash burger. It was... fine. Not bad at all, just not in my top tier of Austin smash burgers. The patty came out in pieces, which happens when it gets smashed a little too thin. Totally edible, still tasted good, it just didn't have that cohesive patty feel or the crispy lacy edges I like. I ordered through the QR code on the table, which told me it would take about 30 minutes, but it was ready in 10. Not complaining, but it's always funny when the system just picks a random long estimate and then surprises you. Fries were adequate, nothing memorable. Service was okay. I asked for a side of their special sauce, and the guy looked totally baffled, like no one in the history of burgers had ever asked for sauce on the side. Someone else behind him finally said, "I think he means the Biggie sauce." Now I know what to call it if I ever return. Overall: decent burger, not amazing, but Armadillo Den itself is a great hang. I wouldn't come back specifically for this burger, but I'd happily eat it again if I was already there with friends.

    One of my shortest Yelp reviews ever:…read more I was at the Armadillo Den celebrating my friend's birthday and wanted a bite. Their fried pickles sounded pretty good. That's all I ordered, and I got a monster-sized serving of fried pickles. I was thinking I'd get a small cup because that's the food truck way, but there was plenty to go around and I was very satisfied, even with letting all the people around me grab some as well. They threw down. I'll probably go back next time I'm at the Den or Cosmic. RIYL: Fried pickles and ranch, but like A LOT of fried pickles, like you start wondering about your macros from how much they give you.
