Food trucks are not considered traditional which makes people skeptical. However, once you take that first bite of food, all your questions and worries fade away. We know what you're thinking, how good can food really be if it's being made in such a small space, especially if that space is a truck? Well, the answer is that it can be absolutely delicious. Some might even say better than any normal restaurant you've ever been to. And, the fun experience of getting there, standing in line, ordering, and then eating outside at the picnic tables offered, makes it an even better time. In Austin, there is no lack of available food trucks for you to try, and from Bar-b-que, Asian, Hawaiian, Italian, desserts, etc., you won't be able to stop going once you go to the first one! Here's a few of our favorites.
Three Little Pigs (1209 Rosewood Ave)
- Three Little Pigs has three main dishes that are always offered including: a pork belly slider, asian fried chicken, and bacon-wrapped meatloaf. They also have three daily specials which are constantly changing, but also constantly delicious. They offer a coconut buttermilk pie for dessert, yum! It is considered comfort food, and it is delicious.
The Big Kahuna (1309 W 45th St)
- Hawaiian food? In Austin? Yes, please! The Big Kahuna has salads, teriyaki, fish, poke, loco moco, burgers, tacos, fries, and so much more. However, all this food has a Hawaiian twist, making it unlike the typical food you can find in Austin.
Paperboy (1112 E 12th St)
- Paperboy features breakfast and lunch, making it unlike the other trucks mentioned. They have every breakfast food from "Steak & Egg" to "Grain & Greens," as well as everything else, including all the sides you could think of, in between. They also have fantastic coffee.
Garbo's (check website:

for current location)
- Garbo's, known for their fresh Maine Lobster, has amazing lobster rolls, which are few and far between in Austin, Texas due to the distance. And, if that's not what you're craving, they also feature a burger and a lobster salad. Garbo's proves you don't have to go all the way to Maine to get the amazing lobster you supposedly can only find there.
Next time you're looking for a place to eat out, don't scratch trying a food truck off your list. We hope you have the chance to go and enjoy these just as much as we do.
