Where Y’At

the absolute best po boys!!! definitely a treat you must give yourself if you are in south town. took my momma there and she loves it too! we loved the band tbat played.. cant remember their name. but it was 3 gentlemen singing oldies. looking for them fora gig. if anyone knows! any who. best po boys ever!!!

Anybody can tell me if this guys are still at S Alamo where the food trucks are??? Very disaponted got here and no truck… I still stayed to watch the game with a Santos beer

My second food truck during the Culinaria food truck, these were the best beignet’s I’d had since being in New Orleans a few years ago! Thank you so much for this amazing experience!

After reading all of these 5 & 4 star reviews I was beyond excited to finally try awesome Cajun food in SA. Shortly after getting my food I was disappointed.
I ordered the Chicken & Andouille Sausage Gumbo. So apparently they only had Seafood Gumbo so I got that. It didn’t come with the «French Bread», it was too thick, zero spice, no shrimp, no oysters, no crab meat, just burnt sausage & rice.
I also ordered 2 lbs of crawfish, no fixings. Once I cracked open my first crawfish I already knew it was a waste of money. Zero spice, zero flavor, the crawfish were big, but $ 8 a pound? Ha! I also asked for napkins & they gave me one napkin for 2 lbs of crawfish, cool.
I paid $ 26 for all of that unflavored food, the beer was probably the best part of my meal. This food is completely overpriced for the quality and quantity. I will not be going back. So it’s still true, you can’t get good Cajun food anywhere in SA.

Tres bon, Where Y’at!
These guys have some wonderful french style cajun cooking. Their bingets are so amazing. They’re like a sopapillas from New Mexico, but fried, crisp, and drowning in powdered sugar. We looked like we’d been partying with Charlie Sheen after eating these. There’s plenty to an order for a huge dessert.
The rice and beans were quite filling and delicious, with a cajun flavor to them that was phenomenal. Really good. Go for the small bowl, as they’re really filling. That, mixed with the hot sauce they offer, it’s tres bon!
The service was fast and friendly, and the prices are quite good for the great quality you’re getting. Check these guys out.

This is a food truck. It took me a while to figure that out when searching for this place. When I showed up, none of the items people are raving about were on the menu. It was mostly Gumbo and PoBoys. PoBoys are hard to get excited about and the gumbo was OK (honestly it was a bit too thick). I walked from the River Walk to get here because of the reviews. I would not do it again.

PHENOMENAL! PHENOMENAL!
Stumbled upon this place an it was so authentic an delicious! The guy was so cool and was so excited for us to try it! It was almost as he put some serious passion into the good he just cooked for us!!!
Wish I lived in San Antonio to make this place a regular spot for me!

We came so late but service was still super friendly. Helped us through what was left and he didn’t seem to mind cooking up anything.
Got a po’boy and that thing was overstuffed (thanks bro!) and so dang good. Both D & I ate that up to the last bite.
Wish we got to try other things, but maybe next time we’re in TX!

The food truck area was nice and lively on a Friday night, so it was a pretty attractive option for dinner. That said, it was pretty hard for me to decide which food truck to order from. I’m so glad I picked Where Y’at at the end! I had the slow cooked pork po’boy, and I don’t think I’ve ever had a better pork sandwich of any kind. They were so generous on the meat, which was completely tender and flavorful with every bite. The bread was also good and lightly toasted, and the slaw accompanied everything in the right way. I’m sad that I won’t be able to try any more of their food, but at least I got to eat this one!

I went off season (no crawfish), this place was bad. I hate to leave a bad review, but it was not good.
I am from Gulfport, MS, I grew up on Cajun food and this is bad. I ate a shrimp poboy covered in hot sauce. My wife had the pulled pork… Also, covered in hot sauce.
In the Gulf Coast we are known for flavor… not «hot sauce sandwiches».

New Orleans is one of my favorite cities in the world, so I was super excited to try out a Nawlins style food truck. Last time I was in NOLA, I went on a food tour and had an amazing muffaletta sandwich from Mike Serio’s that was featured on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. As impressed as I was with that sandwich, THIS ONE WAS EVEN BETTER. For those who are unfamiliar with the sandwich, it is basically Italian deli meats, hard sliced cheese and olive salad on a delicious special bread that is baked in a huge delicious circle. ¼ of a muffaletta is usually sufficient to feed one person. A whole one could probably feed a family. I’m not sure what exactly Where Y’at’s secret is to making their muffaletta so delicious, but I think it is in the bread. The bread was served nice and hot, with a garlicky olive oil taste to it. I haven’t eaten a sandwich that delicious in a while!

One of the best food experiences that happened to me while in San Antonio. I had been deeply disappointed by the corporate chains in downtown San Antonio. My friend and I ordered the soft shell crab po boy, a shrimp po boy and boudain balls. The soft shell crab po boy was fried to an amazing crispness and the shrimp po boy was to die for. The boudain had an original Louisiana kick and the special sauce was delicious. The beignets were extraordinary. Im coming back to San Antonio just to have their food again. Excited they are opening a restaurant called the Cookhouse hopefully at the end of the month.

Wow, I’m impressed! It’s now one of my favorite food trucks in SA!
I’ve heard of Where Y’at for awhile but never got a chance to check them out. Recently I saw the Tuesday crawfish boil that’s being advertised and thought that’d be a perfect opportunity to come.
I’m so glad I did. Man, I was blown away by this truck! I got the crawfish with corn and potatoes and fished my plate in no time. They warned me about the crawfish being spicy. If you know me you know I love to set my tastebuds on fire. But boy, those crawfish were indeed SPICY! They were also so fresh and flavorful. In fact, you can see the live crawfish before they are cooked! The corn… oh the corn! It was probably one of the best corns I’ve had. It has this rich flavor from the crawfish and the spice. Gosh, i forgot all my manners and just shoved it down my throat basically. The potato is probably the only disappointment. It was kinda bland and I wish I got two corns instead.
After one plate, I immediately went to get more crawfish! I was hooked! My friend also ordered crawfish and boudin. She kindly offered me some to try and I enjoyed it a lot. We also tried the gumbo. Wow! It was pretty amazing too! The toast it came with was crunchy and the rice and pork were so satisfying! I just couldn’t stop eating! I seriously thought about getting a third plate of the crawfish. But after consuming so much food, I finally gave up.
In addition to the great food, customer service was great. I met the friendly owner and we chatted for a bit. I was told that they are opening up a Cajun restaurant soon but don’t worry the truck will still be here!
I’m currently on vacation away from SA but can’t wait to come back for more crawfish when I return!!!

When it’s crawfish season, you can find me near this food truck, cracking open those mudbugs. I don’t know how these guys do it, they are always consistent with the way they can make those mudbugs taste sooo
good! For me, a great tasting mudbug or crawfish should be in the meat itself and not covered with a whole bunch of seasoning on the outside (like served in other establishments), that shall remain anonymous. I have tried several times to imitate their secret combination of spices for the boil and have failed miserably. So for the price, they are worth their price in gold.
Now for the other items on the menu, I would give them 3 stars. The gumbo, boudin balls and beignets still need some work. But they rule when it comes to crawfish!!!
I also go back there not just because they serve amazing crawfish, but because they do have great customer service. And to me, that means a lot.

4.5 STARS!
I’ve got a dirty secret! Even, after three years watching «Eat Street» religiously, tonight was the first time I had the chance to visit a food truck. I drove 30 miles craving crawfish, which has eluded me this whole year because of the shortage.
After arriving at the Alamo Street Eat Bar, I quickly made my way to Where Y’at. I knew what I wanted: 3 pounds of crawfish and a shrimp poboy for the boss. That poboy better be good because she’s paying, and she pretty much only eats shrimp poboys at anything listing New Orleans cuisine. Moreover, she and I make a killer red beans and rice, so she always orders that too.
I’ll keep it pithy: The crawfish were excellent and were spicy, large, and flavored just right. I didn’t like that you have to pay extra for one potato and one piece of corn for $ 2 (ridiculous). They would run him out of Lafayette on an airboat trying that.
Now, for that poboy, my wife did not like it; she said the shrimp were not flavored enough. We or I should say I make mine with La. Shrimp Fry flour, which has a lot of corn flour and like Cajun seasoning in it. These shrimp could have used a sprinkling of Tony Chacherie seasoning when out the fryer. They had salt and a little too much.
Another thing: The sign said lettuce and my wife had shredded cabbage, instead of lettuce (What?). I also didn’t understand this when in New Orleans, except for Mother’s Sandwich shop, everyone has lettuce. Furthermore, they were out of tomato. You do not have a New Orleans Poboy «dressed» without lettuce, pickle, tomato and mayo (preferably, blue plate mayo). The French bread though was excellent and was light, perfectly-​toasted, and fresh.
I heard tell (my new expression, and yes it is a correct old English phrase) that the gumbo was not good so I passed. My wife did try the red beans, which were horrendous. They had no flavor and were pasty and mushy. Red beans are started with the trinity: bell peppers, onions, celery, and garlic with bay leaves and thyme. Furthermore, for additional flavor, pickled pork, ham hock, or hot or andouille sausage gives it some depth of flavor and fat.
I wanted to try the beignets, but since they didn’t have café au lait, why try it?
One last thing, they didn’t have fries, which always goes with a poboy, or Zapp’s potato chips. They may have a deal with the burger truck because they sell so many fries with their burgers.
Crumbs:
— Excellent boiled crawfish
— Good shrimp poboys (need tomatoes always!, creole seasoning in flour!)
— Terrible red beans and rice
— Include potatoes and corn in price (Charge .50 cents more, not $ 2).
— Pieter (the owner) gets 5 stars for his pleasant attitude and great smile.

My sole purpose for this update of Where Y’at is to rave about more items I’ve tried and loved a lot.
For starters, if it’s gumbo that you want then look no further. The chicken and andouiie (spelling?) gumbo will definitely satisfy and is the perfect size. You get a complimentary slice of garlic bread on the side and it’s perfect for dipping into the roux.
And finally if you love poboys then I highly suggest the fried shrimp poboy. It comes dressed with lettuce, tomato and a remoulade. However since I didn’t know exactly what remoulade is and I’m not a huge fan of mayo on my sandwiches I politely asked him to put the remoulade on the side and the chef honored my request. I advise you the poboys are gigantic so a half would satisfy any appetite.
Where Y’at is still one of my top favorite food trucks in S.A.

Great gumbo! Peppery, complex flavors… nice big chunks of chicken (dark meat, not dried out white meat) and Andouille sausage… I think I detected some green chiles in there, too. Nice big serving and it was even tastier the next day!
I didn’t dig the toasted bread they put on top, however. It was seasoned sloppily and way too salty. Just throw it to the side and mow down on the gumbo…

First heard about this truck from a friend whow as present when they won the Food Truck Face Off (or whatever it was called) a few months back. Ever since she’d tried it there, she swore it was something I NEEDED to try, and I am oh so glad she insisted.
I’ve had several great experiences with Where Y’at since. From their beignets that leave your table looking like Scarface sneezed all over it to their smoked mushroom étouffée that is ultra rich and satisfying, I’ve yet to be unimpressed by the folks at Where Y’at.
Service is also always stellar, friendly and knowledgable.

Where Y’at has an amazing menu! When I go to a food truck, I want something different or something I’ve had but done in an entirely new way and Where Y’at delivers.
I caught up with them at the Kitchens 4 Cancer event at the Boardwalk on Bulverde but I had already made the rounds at a few trucks so I was kind of full by the time I stopped by. Their menu consisted of Soft Shell Crab Sliders, Watermelon Salad and Cajun Corn but I decided I needed to satisfy my sweet tooth and went with the Beignets. The chef didn’t even scoff when I ordered «big nets», give me a break, I’m from Texas… Now I had never had beignets but the way they’ve been described to me made them sound like puffy funnel cakes and that’s exactly what they are. They are also SMOTHERED in powdered sugar which I loved. Seriously, more things should be smothered with some kind of sugar.
I spoke to one of the chefs about where they frequent for lunch and he said they started to serve at the Weston Center on Wednesdays but to follow them on FB or Twitter to keep up with them. Done.

Welcome to the San Antonio food truck scene. This truck will be a most welcome addition to Alamo Street Eat.
I tried the BBQ shrimp. Excellently cooked shrimp. The sauce complimented and enhanced the shrimp and did not overwhelm the delicate flavor of the shrimp. Then with the french bread, so good. Nice crust and soft in the middle. Taking the bread and dunking it in the sauce was an flavor experience right up there with the shrimp.
I will b back to sample more wares.
