I was in Austin two weeks ago (yes I know this means that I missed SXSW by one week) and since it was so beautiful outside I spent most of the week walking around downtown from appointment to appointment. After having lunch with my brother and his wife at an adorable little hot dog joint called Frank's, I walked my brother back to work just to prove that chivalry isn't dead. We were on Congress near 2nd and just as we were about to cross over the bridge, I noticed a little trailer truck offering Korean BBQ tacos. My heart beats lumpy custard for bulgogi so I couldn't imagine what a delicious treat this must be done Texas style!
The next day, I prepared myself all morning for the feast and returned to the scene of the crime. No freaking BBQ taco truck was in sight anywhere. Being the psycho that I am, I got on my Iphone and started to google until I found it - www.chilantrobbq.com - and I rushed over to their location of that day. I couldn't pick which one I wanted so obviously I tried all three options. The beef taco was amazing. All the goodness you would expect from bulgogi beef with a Texas twist. It comes wrapped in a corn tortilla and is topped with salsa, cilantro, onion, green onion and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Make sure to ask for it with kimchi if that is your thing. The spicy pork and and chicken tacos were delish as well and I couldn't honestly tell you which one was better. I washed the tacos down with a local Full Moon Pale Rye Ale from the Real Ale brewing company which was quite refreshing.
Who knew that I would be having one of the best lunches that I have ever had in Austin at a picnic table for under $10?
