Advertised as food truck lot and drove down from Fort Hood area with fam but trucks are connected to bars so have to be 21 to enter. Didn’t see that anywhere in advertisements… may have missed it. Paid to park. Tried several trucks then someone let us know all had an age requirement. Waste of time and money.

A great mixture of various food trucks in a fun but unique setting.

It’s a nice place with all kind of restaurants.. big on Mexican food.. if you want to party, and relax at same time.. this is the place in Austin! Went on a Friday night! Great wibe!!

The area looks really nice and cute in pictures but the reality is far different. The whole street is packed with bars and restaurants that all have live music. The chaos of loud noise and amateur music ruins the ambiance. I don't know how anyone can enjoy their meal with the noise pollution. To top it off, most of the trucks were closed and there were homeless men begging for money everywhere you turn.

Didn't actually get to eat anything there. It was pretty crowded. The vibe is comfortable, though. It's a nice place to hangout and grab some food from different food truck options right on the popular bar street.

Awesome vibe and delicious food I tried. Not all the options were great. My friends got arepas and the lobster fries, there was hardly any lobster sadly for what we paid.But I had the vegan tacos and they were absolutely AMAZING!
David Carson
Pretty average and overpriced. Best item was Cachapas from the truck that has Arepas and other Venezuelan food. Got lucky parking and it was free because it was Sunday.

I'm not sure we found the right place or went at the right time. We only saw 2 food trucks where Maps took us. It was late into Friday night, so maybe all the food trucks weren't there? We grabbed a slice of pizza each to take back to our Airbnb, and after all the walking all over downtown Austin, we felt a little defeated.

A variety of food trucks, offering different types of cuisine. Seating is limited, so go with an open heart, sit down at a table, meet strangers and walk away friends.My favorite was the 4 Brothers empanadas, the middle eastern truck and the lobster fries.
Had Venezuelan food from Four Brothers. Was great! Good for people watching. Nice shade from trees and a nice food variety. Parking is crazy so we paid close to $12 an hour for premium parking.

Tough thing with the food trucks is they don't always stick to posted hours. Make sure to have a backup plan in case your preferred truck is closed. Otherwise a great selection and fun area to hang out. Some brick and mortar bars and restaurants on the same block as well for alternatives or things to do after the food trucks.

Awesome, awesome spot. If you're a foodie, or just looking for a quick bite, this is the place. Absolutely love food trucks!

These are not a foodie’s dream rather the obligatory munchies after a night of drinking place. Hence the operating hours of 5pm onwards. There are two lots with a congregation of trucks and sparsely distributed ones along and in between the numerous bars on Rainey.The parking on a Sunday charges $14 for an hour!!!We tried two trucks that interested us, the Happy Lobster, which was generous with the lobster though lacking in flavour. The lobster could have been kept in a butter vat or blanch in butter before assembly, could use some salt, and definitely more dressing. Ordered the junior after hearing the difference in lobster was around an ounce only. The buns were soft though a bit thick for the filling. The lobster grilled cheese looked it had a better proportion.The fries are there to fill you up and add value to the $14 sandwich. Bottom line: will not be trying or returning to this park anytime soon. I am well past the young drinking age and brought two kids with me on this visit.The other truck offered Poke Bowls $13.99, good fillings and proteins, but their sauces were weak and lacking. I compared these to places like Chi’lantro and Poke house and they would not hold light versus these places. It lacked the contrasting dimensions a Poke bowl has to offer. There were guides in the base, proteins and toppings but under the sauce section, it didn’t advise to pick how many. We had two, sriracha Mayo and ponzu, these should have given me the spicy, creamy, tangy, umami lift but came up short.Service was good in both places, friendly and jovial, I guess a hip place is not as discerning to food nuances.Overall, probably the most expensive of all the food parks we’ve tried and not as good quality wise.

Such a gun place! We swung by this area while on my bachelorette trip. The food was awesome and such a wide range of selections. The chicken bowl was fresh & yummy. I wish Charleston would invest in a food truck park
