Rating: 2.6/5 [take out]
This food truck is located in a small food park with limited parking that surprisingly filled up quickly—even at 10 PM on a Sunday. The prices on the menu seemed a bit off; we ended up paying about $1.50 more than expected, and our receipt wasn’t itemized—just a total. The woman working there was by herself and didn’t seem very friendly or welcoming.
Piña Colada (Regular $5 | Large $6): We got the large (24 oz) to share. The drink was thick and creamy rather than icy, and it didn’t taste like a typical piña colada. It was more like a non-sweet pineapple smoothie.
Pork Eggrolls ($4): Came with two medium-sized eggrolls that tasted like the frozen kind you’d find at a grocery store.
Crispy Chicken Banh Mi Tacos ($10): Came with three tacos. The tortillas were a bit tough and hadn’t been warmed up. That said, the crispy chicken was better than expected and similar to American popcorn chicken.
Grilled Pork Banh Mi ($7) + Fried Egg ($1.50): The fried egg with a runny yolk was the highlighr of this banh mi. Unfortunately, the bread was dry and fell apart easily. The sandwich lacked filling, and I couldn’t taste any pâté or egg mayo. The grilled pork was also disappointing.
Overall, the food was mediocre. Given the location and food quality, I worry they won’t be able to retain business unless they improve both their food and...
Read moreI was actually really excited to try the food here because there’s not a lot of good viet food in austin and the pictures and reviews made it look good. I could’ve gotten over a single bahn mi and 3 of the microscopic bao buns being over 20 dollars, but not only was the portion for the bao bun surprisingly tiny, the bread was stale, it was 75 % pickled veggies(the cheapest part) and only 25% dry underseasoned pork, and served with a side of soy sauce?I’m very disappointed as i love supporting smaller business’s especially vietnamese owned as a vietnamese american, but the food was made half hearted and was a complete rip off.
But the bahn mi was 8/10 just could use less salt i could only...
Read moreI've only had the pork banh mi, the pork bao bun and the beef bao bun but everything was wonderful. We went back a second time and my friends who have more banh mi experience than I do said the banh mi is the best in town because most places either nail the bread or the filling but not both, and this place gets both right. All I know is it's delicious. We came to the food truck park for Flavia's Kitchen and enjoyed that place, but this spot was the highlight. The Mediterranean truck is ok as well, but...
