The Austin Food Truck Guide

Several years ago, food trucks in Austin were few and far between.  Today, you cannot drive an inch without spotting a new food truck or food trailer tucked away into a vacant spot with a crowd of folks camped out in front, either patiently waiting to order or seated enjoying their exotic fare.

My two local favorites are

Torchy's Tacos (food truck located 1st and Elizabeth) but you can dine at a traditional restaurant as well if you'd prefer.  You can never go wrong with a fried avocado taco or a crossroads taco with a side of green chili queso and a side of chips.  Everything on their menu is just delicious, but be sure to try the monthly special!

Odd Duck Farm to Trailer located 1200 South Lamar directly across from the Alamo Drafthouse.  Bryce Gilmore (son of Jack Allen Gilmore) is the genius behind this hot spot.  All ingredients are purchased locally and the menu is centered around those fresh ingredients. The last time I dined there it was 32 degrees and my husband and I snuggled next to open fire while enjoying several tasty treats on the rolling menu.  The menu changes often so you will always be in for a surprise.
