Cheesesteak Factory

Since when did Philly cheesesteaks become an Austin thing? Seems like there’s a new cheesesteak trailer every week. This one’s across the street from Maria Maria and shares a smelly undeveloped lot with other trailers. I was in a rush, which is good because there wasn’t a line at TCF. Didn’t have to wait more than 5 minutes. Friendly chick at the counter who remembered to give me ketchup packets — despite what y’all may think, it’s a very important ingredient for a real cheesesteak.
Credit card machine was down, but normally they take t3h card.
This time we had to go for the Lonestar ($ 7.50) — peppers, onion, mushroom, all that good jazz. Hiked back to headquarters, unwrapped the sandwich and WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? Whole wheat bread?! Have you lost your fucking mind? Whole wheat negates the beef flavor, rendering the sandwich tasting like macerated wood pulpings.
Coulda had 4 stars. Coulda. Everything else was delish. White bread only, people. White bread on cheesesteaks. Whole wheat does absolutely nothing to neutralize the unhealthiness of the other ingredients.

What a sweet lady working in this food cart. We were looking for some fries for our baby and were pleasantly surprised. Very fresh and perfectly made. I wish we weren’t so full because I would have loved to try the cheesesteak.

i happened upon this place last weekend. the name caught me at first and then the pink piece of paper taped to the window announcing the special. french fries with cheese and sirloin? yum. i’ve been a few times since then and this place hits the spot. soon i will venture onto other items on the menu, but for now the special has my stomach happy.
the only downside of this whole experience is that it is surrounded by a lot of other trailers which usually is the case for trailer spaces. this sucks for the reason of five generators going all at once is really terrible noise pollution. luckily i can just get it to go and eat it at my friend’s loft nearby. they accept to-​go orders by phone so that just might be problem almost solved. i would say check this place out.
