The ATX Asian Food Fest 5/29/2022 held at VUKA was fabulous! There was a great turn out. Parking…read morewas a little challenging. You could find a wonderful selection of food & drinks vendors, like Moi Vietnamese grill. Mom & Pops popsicles. Connor's creamery. Garbo's. Ding tea. Citrus refreshments. Weh? Asian fusion. Shoyu Sugar is Hawaiian grill and a favorite amongst visitors. Boba bites and tea, had their very first event and are in the process of opening their shop soon. A business to be continued, as I love their teas! Dash realty was there too with a bean bag toss, giving out balloons and candy. Cutco with their knives. Ten thousand villages had some beautiful fair trade goodies. All vendors had quite a long line. Moi's customers faced a long time in the burning Sun, but Asians love food! Weh? Sold out within 2 hours! The DJ's supplied great vibes inside the VUKA building, which is modern, spacious, air-conditioned, a great place for events. It hosted the space for a Limbo race, and crafting paper fans by 'open eyes beyond border' for the Lil' ones. The event would take place all day, and it is a hot day. A great event! The dragon dance was very much entertaining. People had their dollar bills ready! Oh, how we love to feed the dragon to get luck and prosperity! Yes, yes, Chinese dragons are believed to have control over water, rain, hurricanes and floods. They also represent power, strength and good luck. The Chinese believe that performing the dragon dance during festivals and celebrations drives away evil spirits and ushers in good luck and blessings for the community.

Food trucks parks are a distinctly Austin-ite art form, and this one is pretty good. I was invited…read morehere for a Yelp function and got to sample a number of delicacies on offer from the resident trucks. Of special note is the very good blueberry lemonade from Conscious Cravings, as well as a to-die-for selection of goat cheese from the Chivata Goat Cheese Truck. (Seriously, go check out their trailer and pick up one of their sandwiches, your tummy will thank you.) Pros: Outdoor and *indoor* seating - useful when it rains or bakes in Austin, which it can. Reasonable selection of food trucks, you'll find something to try. Bathroom facilities are fine and not port-a-potties. Cons: Some of the trucks hold odd hours on the weekend. Parking is at a premium, with about a dozen spots and 2 handicapped spots. You can find parking on the side streets but be careful crossing 1st Street as the traffic zooms by at light speed! All in all, this location is well worth a visit!

This has to be my most favorite food truck area to eat around ATX! The atmosphere is always warm…read moreand welcoming, day and night! The food is always yummy, and the company is always kind! It's always a plus when cute furry friends are a plus! It is also kid friendly too! I've tried every single food truck in this area and there is just too many good things to say about each and every vendor, from their cooking, and packaging to their service and friendliness!

Saffron Austin is known for their Indian and Nepalese cuisine, offering a thoughtfully crafted menu…read morethat highlights both traditional Indian flavors and unique Himalayan dishes. According to a close friend, Safran Austin located on Far West Boulevard, is especially known for being the first in Austin to feature a dedicated Nepalese menu I was not very hungry so I ordered the Chicken 65 (spicy deep-fried chicken with tomatoes, curry leaves, and ginger) ...a South Indian specialty. The chicken nuggets were doused in a flavorful curry seasoned and they were super moist and fresh tasting. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. My server, Dipka, was kind and helpful. She offered me water to go as it was pretty hot outside...nice touxh. There are a plethora of vegetarian, vegan, and halal offerings. Looking forward to returning and exploring more menu items...

Good enough food for to go!…read more We got your general white person basics: - Nepalese Momos - chicken tikka masala - garlic naan I will say though that the packaging was fantastic (some may disagree it's wasteful) and ensured that everything travelled safely with no spills in the car!

If you're in Austin and craving specialty donuts, THIS is the place to go!!! Being a donut…read moreconnoisseur, Gourdough's did not disappoint! Love that they're set up in a retro airstream -- such a fun vibe. Donuts are made fresh and topped to order, and it is 100% worth the wait. They've got large and mini sizes, so we went with a few different minis so we could try multiple flavors without overdoing it (or maybe we still overdid it, no regrets ). The menu has something for everyone, even more "basic" options for those who don't want all the toppings -- which honestly feels a little sacrilegious here haha. They also have great coffee, plenty of seating, and shaded tables so you can dig in right away and actually enjoy the moment. I honestly cannot pick a favorite menu item because I loved them all!! Already counting down until I'm back in Austin so I can return.

This is SUCH a delicious food truck! I spotted it on Yelp as we were in the mood for dessert and…read morenot sure what to try. After paying for parking we made our way over to the truck. There wasn't a line (it was a pretty hot day) so we managed to order quickly. We opted to split the Black Betty. It was huge!! I loved the blackberry sauce and fruit mixed in with the cream and sugar. This is one big dessert so I'm glad we shared it - honestly would be worth splitting a whole one amongst a few people unless you have a big sweet tooth! The staff were really quick with the order. There's ample seating by the truck which is probably nice for part of the year, but we were suffering on a hot summer day. I would highly recommend this spot - but keep in mind the weather as it's all outdoor and outdoor seating only.

I was really excited about this place because the food looked so delicious in photos. The picanha…read morewas soo delicious, the steak had a somewhat smokey flavor and was super tender with a tangy chimichurri type sauce on top. The cheese empanada was super yummy, it's exactly what it sounds like, just ooey gooey melty cheese in a crispy empanada. The owner was also super friendly and kind! Overall, a very very filling meal and I'm happy I got to try this food truck!

After having this on my Must Try list for the past three years, I was finally able to try Boteco,…read moreand it did not disappoint. I ordered the Picanha Grelhada. The steak was cooked medium rare, just the way I like it. It paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice, veggies, farofa, and of course, the fried egg. It was my first time eating farofa, and I enjoyed the added texture (almost couscous-like). The staff was also incredibly friendly! The only thing to note is that the pricing has changed quite heavily. On Yelp, you'll find that many of the menu images show the Picanha Grelhada to be around $14-$16; however, the current price is around $20. Enjoyed the food, but it admittedly is a slightly steep price for the portion size. Overall, a great area with lots of seating and parking available. Would definitely recommend.

My best friend strongly recommended this taco shop to try if I'm ever in Austin, stating it's her…read morefav taco place so of course I had high expectations. The place is tucked behind a bar and the seating area is in an outdoor area. It didn't take a long time for the tacos to be ready, less than ten minutes. The tacos were delicious! I loved the beef taco, the meat was well seasoned and the tortilla was fresh. Normally I really don't like pulled pork anything so I was worried of the carnitas but my friend insisted I try it and I'm glad that I did. It was chopped enough that I didn't notice it's pulled pork and it has some nice crunch in it as well. I liked the beef taco so much that I came back for another. While the tacos are on the pricier end, I feel it's worth it. I'd definitely recommend this taco shop :)

Shady business! They have an automatic 20% service fee for all orders, whether you order at the…read morecounter or on their app. They hide this service fee under "taxes and fees." Then they prompt you for an additional tip, hoping you didn't catch that you were already charged. I'm sure so many people have been scammed and double tipped. One small taco will cost you $10 with their scammy fees.

My first review was from a DoorDash order- I've since become a regular at their littlefields…read morelocation off of Windsor. The prices are a bit high BUT I do think it makes sense with the price of all supplies going up. Now, the food is so stupid delicious. It makes me forget that my steak quesadilla and watermelon agua Fresca was $28. And that's not sarcasm, I legit don't care when the food is this good. I usually order a barbacoa taco and an agua Fresca and it is consistently phenomenal. The salsas are delicious, pour both on your food. They have a different flavor profile and both accompany each other well. The staff here is so friendly, they try to get your order quickly, and communicate well when it's ready. Bless the hands that make this amazing food! This location is inside the littlefields location so there's tons of seating and a fenced in play area for kids. It's not a playscape, more so a space to run around with room for tons of imaginative play. Parking here can be dicey, please take notice of the customer parking signs. And for the love, do not block the fire lane. It makes it impossible for people to leave their actual parking spots. Don't act like you don't see it's clearly marked- the employees at besame and Veracruz should NOT have to tell you to move. There's plenty of street parking.

It's been a while since I last visited this Veracruz location, but I'm glad I did!…read more It's a bit tucked away within the surrounding neighborhood and has a limited number of nearby parking spots, but there's plenty of street parking if you just drive out a little bit. The area is laidback with a play area for kids/families. There's also a coffee shop right next door. In terms of service, the staff are great -- just need to be prepared for a wait, especially if you're there during the weekend. (To be fair, they do have a sign by the register that says they make fresh food, not fast food). You also have the option of doing an online order + pick-up, which may speed things up. I usually get the migas tacos at Veracruz but went with the grilled fish taco this time, which was also very delicious! Grilled Fish Taco ($7.50, 5/5) - The grilled tilapia was tender yet still held its shape. It also had just the right amount of crunch. - The toppings (cabbage, mango pico, cheese, avocado, chipotle mayo salsa) made each bite very enjoyable - As always, love the sauces here Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a casual place to eat some good tacos. The prices are on the higher end, but the quality is consistent. Would definitely come back and try other items on their menu!
