El Paisa Truck

CASH ONLY.
I don’t often leave a review after my first visit some where, but WOW, these guys deserve it. I had burger that had a really yummy perfectly cooked beef patty, grilled hotdog, pineapple, ample cheese and veggies. I paid $ 5 for this thing and it was a monster! I don’t speak Spanish (not that it ever held me back from trying new places), so I was super pleased that the guy that took my order spoke English. I didn’t tip when I first paid and there was no feeling of resentment. I happily tipped their jar after eating that awesome burger.
Asked about hours and he said that they’re closed on Tuesday, and typically open till 1am on weekdays, and close around 2am or 3am on weekends depending how busy it is. He said weekdays around 6 – 7 the wait can be up to 40 minutes because they get pretty busy.
I don’t know how they don’t have more reviews. Awesome prices for simple and hefty portions of truck food. Heck yeah!

This is one of my favorite food trucks here in Austin. The service is always so wonderful and the food… My gosh! So so good! My family and I really enjoy coming here. It’s great that they’re open late! I love to get either the torta cubana or the tacos de alambre. Super good!!! I definitely recommend this place!

We tried the bistek and al pastor and both were good. They have the small tacos, which I really love!

First, let me tell you that i have never eaten here 100% sober :)
Having said that, I always look for this trailer after having a few and needing something tasty and greasy in this part of town (south east Austin).
Great drunk food and you can never go wrong with their tacos.

This taco truck is parked in the lot for the car wash, next to Sonic. It happens to be one of the few late night options in the area, open until 2am. It’s also notable for having a satellite dish and a TV on the outside, for your entertainment.
I got a sope with chorizo and suadero for 4 bucks. It sounded pricey when I ordered it, but it’s rather large — more like a huarache I’d say. The flavor was a bit bland though, but easily remedied with the tomatillo salsa. Not bad for a 1am meal option.
I’m not sure whether this truck is related to the other El Paisa on Congress. While the neon sign makes me think so, the quality here seems inferior.
