Bufalo Bob's Chalupa Wagon

Affiliated with the St. David's Healthy Dining Program, 80% of this Tex-Mex/Mediterranean fusion chalupa menu is gluten fee, and the rest can be made vegan.

JMueller BBQ

The meats are the reason to come here, and they are spectacular. Mueller's father and grandfather built their reputations on dry-rubbed brisket and house-made sausage. While this brisket is truly fine, as is the sausage, the star on the menu is the beef short rib.

Kate's Southern Comfort

This popular trailer near Zilker Park turns out Nak-i-dish (ground pork and beef mixed with onions and stuffed inside a puff pastry crust), red beans and rice with juicy chunks of andouille sausage, and terrific crawfish pie.
