It’s not often I find myself downtown around lunch time on a weekday. That whole 9-5 8:30-5:30 job in North Austin has something to do with it. So when I conjure up an excuse opportunity to indulge in some downtown street food, I jump on it. This time around I had a half day at work to make up for the fact I’d be working Sunday at 1am (until 5am), so I headed downtown and swung by a tried-and-true favorite for some exceptional mobile lunch.

the new-to-me trailers I’ve been enjoying recently! Keep an eye out for the likes of Kebabalicious, Dogellos, Be More Pacific, Tacos Selene, East Side Kings (Grackle), The Evil Wiener, and Lizzie’s Lunchbox. (I’ll update each place with a link to the review post) That means I’ve been eating wraps, chili dogs, Filipino fried rice, tacos, Asian who knows what, and brats. Not a bad two weeks on the trailer front. It’s like my own mini Gypsy Picnic!
The Jalopy Under Wraps
I’m no rookie when it comes to eating at the Jalopy Rotisserie and Press. The giant truck parked just north of downtown has been sitting pretty sliding out some amazing sandwiches since day one. The menu is diverse, chock-full of homemade sauces that push the boundaries on what a sandwich shop should be doing, but that sort of inventiveness has been baked into the Jalopy since day one. And it’s that same sense of “don’t get too comfortable” that drives the owner, Nic, to keep trying new things. And that’s exactly what warrants a fourth blog post on the same trailer on this blog.
Elixer Coffee
Austin is known for its indie culture, from local record shops to mom ‘n pop pharmacies to endless non-golden arched burger joints. It’s what gives the city its unique charm and character that gets lost in those bigger cities you usually think of when you hear “Texas”. Well in this land of local pride famous for their barbecue and friendly to their food trucks you’ll find an unexpected shining star emerging: high-quality, anti-establishment coffee shops.
Coolhaus On Demand
With TV, news, music, and gosh darn near everything else available on demand these days, it’s borderline ridiculous when some things we love aren’t available at a moment’s notice. Well, today I learned of another life necessity that doesn’t depend on the schedule of others: Coolhaus ice cream sandwiches!
Don Churro
In the land of endless Tex Mex, true Latin food is hard to come by. Sure, there are a handful of restaurants that serve South American cuisine, but only one trailer (as far as I know) that specializes in Latin-Cuban food. Don Churro has a menu full of Cuban goodness including sandwiches, churros, and other traditional fare that sets it far apart from the other trucks in town.
Pueblo Viejo para Almuerzo
It’s been a long time (too long) since I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy the non-mainstream, authentic flavors of Pueblo Viejo. My last visit resulted in an outstanding breakfast taco that left me wanting to try everything else on their menu. Well after far too many months I was able to make my way back over to the East Side and get my taco on.
Short Bus Subs Spices Things Up
I’ll keep this brief. I’ve visited Short Bus Subs many times now, always impressed by their educationally humorous (yet appropriate) named offerings. Instead of my usual Summer Vacation, my most recent visit for lunch took me to a new-to-me sandwich that left me reaching for water after every bite. Saying it was spicy is an understatement.
Climbing the Skyscraper
About a month ago I set forth the challenge to myself to tackle the Coolhaus Ice Cream Sandwich Skyscraper — 5 scoops of ice cream sandwiched between 6 cookies. Anyone can participate, giving Coolhaus a few days notice, so I chose August 13th as the challenge day– first because I’d be running 20 miles and second because it coincided with the 5th Annual Austin Ice Cream Festival. What better way for Coolhaus to showcase their amazing ice cream sandwiches than with an eating challenge at an ice cream festival!
Bits and Druthers
Let’s be honest here: fish and chips is not something I ever crave, want, think about, or even recognize as real food. For one, it’s English and nothing great has come from England since, well, America. Second, chips are what you eat with salsa, queso, or out of a mustachioed cylinder. They’re called fries because you see, we’re in America (a.k.a. England 2.0). And third, fried food hasn’t really been my thing, including, but not limited to, fish. That is, until I went to Bits and Druthers over in the burgeoning East Side Drive-In food trailer park. That’s when my whole world was flipped on its bonce.
