Austhentico

I can't believe it's taking me 3 years to finally check out this place! The paella was delicious as well as the croquettes. I would definitely get both again! It is tucked behind a cute belgium bar. The staff was very kind! They speak English and Spanish. The vibes are very moody/sexy with dim lighting. I definitely will be back!

I'm a big fan of Tortilla Española, and the one here is just as good as I remember from when I was in Spain! I HIGHLY recommend the Mussels and Fries. Whatever oil they used to fry them in was so tasty. Super oily but with amazing flavor. Although the place is a food truck, it's located right next to a pub where you can take your food in and eat with air conditioning. The service is super quick and friendly too. Will be back!

If you enjoy tapas, run..don't walk to this food truck. The food here is incredible. The truck is located behind Mort Subite (A Belgian Bar) off of Congress & 4th Street. You can walk through the bar or also park in the back alley if you'd like to get take out without having to park on the busy main street. You're able to order your food at eat it on the patio or inside the bar, which is nice on a hot day.Back to the aforementioned food, the aioli for the patatas bravas is delicious. The potatoes themselves were cut to the perfect portion and fried to the perfect level of crispiness. The jamon croquettes were creamy and exquisite. The taste of the bocadillo de jamon was delectable and the bombas were great with the sauce. I want to return and try the paella.For some reason, Spanish restaurants don't tend to stick around too long in Austin which is a shame because it's one of my favorite cuisines. So please go see for yourself how amazing the food is here!

Austhentico needs more hype! My best friend studied abroad in Europe and said she was really craving patatas bravas, which is a really popular breakfast item in Spain. This food truck is pretty hidden, and it's also connected to a bar but you'd have no idea there was this delicious food truck right behind the bar. I've passed by this area hundreds of times and had no idea Austhentico was here. The patatas bravas were SO good. It was my first time trying it, but my friend said it was really authentic and brought back a lot of nostalgia. I love how it looks dense but it's actually quite light, and the sauce it comes with is delicious. We also ordered mussels and frites because the chef recommended it, and it was so good! I thought the pricing was really fair for how many mussels you get. I'm not even normally a mussel fan, but they cooked it really well and it's seasoned lightly as well. The fries were the star of the show. I have no idea what oil they use to fry the fries, but my friend and I couldn't stop raving about them. They're so nice and deserve all the business. Please come give them a visit!

If you want authentic Spanish tapas then come here. I've been here several times and it always so delicious and consistent! My favorites are the croquettes, Spanish tortilla and the beef bombas.Chef Luis is amazing and so nice! I would give more stars if I could. 100/10!!

A solid 5/5. I cannot rave about this place enough. It was quite the drive for us to eat here but it was well worth it. I did place an order in advance as I've never been here before and wasn't sure if there was a wait. The food was ready upon our arrival. We definitely over ordered because everything on their menu looked so delicious and we wanted to try it all. No regrets. Just from eating the food, you can pretty much taste the passion that had went into preparing the meal.- Bombas - 5/5- Flamenquin - 5/5- Chicken Paella - 5/5- Patatas Bravas - 4/5- Tortilla Española - 5/5Other bonus points for me: - I love their homemade aioli and salsa that came with the tapas - Amazing service! We decided to eat there as we didn't want the food to get cold on our drive home. They have a tented area with mist fans to keep diners cool in the heat. Chef Luis himself checked up on us a few times to make sure we had enough plates/utensils and to see how everything is tasting- They put a little flag of Spain in every dish. Super cute! - They are an eco-friendly businessI can't wait to come back and try out the rest of their menu. Definitely going to be getting the bombas and flamenquin again though!

After reading previous reviews about Austhentico I really wanted to love it, but my group left disappointed. We ordered to-go food from this food truck on a late Thursday night and were met with spectacular service. The man in the truck was very kind and seemed excited to serve us, but unfortunately the food was just fine. We ordered the bombas, flamenquin, patatas bravas, chicken fideua, bocadillo de Spanish chorizo, and bocadillo de Pepito de Ternera. My main dish, the chicken fideua, had flavor but was extremely dry. I left wondering if it had been left to cook for too long. The flamenquin also had good flavor but was dry on the inside. The mashed potato and ground beef bombas were tasty and were complimented nicely by the homemade garlic aioli and salsa. The patatas bravas were my favorite dish by far -- they were perfectly crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. My friends that ordered the sandwiches said they also both had good flavor. The dishes are pretty fairly priced, with a meal for one person costing approximately $14. I do not recommend visiting this truck late at night, because the road to and from can be very dark and difficult to see. Overall, we found the food good but not great. Several dishes stood out, like the patatas bravas and bombas, but were not enough to keep me running back.

So far it's the only Spanish restaurant I've been to in the states that ACTUALLY tastes like the food I've had in Spain! I had the seafood paella, the popular croquetas de jamon serrano, and baguette with homemade aioli- each blew me away. I was impressed that the croquetas were not overly battered or fried which made the outside delicate and the inside perfectly melted and savory. The seafood paella was truly special- the rice was cooked perfectly al dente and every single grain was scraped from the dish by the end of the meal. It was the perfect amount for two people and was abundant with peas and seafood. Still astonished by the quality that came out of a food truck knowing how long it usually takes to get this kind of flavor and dish! The owners are both so nice and seemed to have a friendly familiarity with a lot of the customers, which told me that people are definitely coming back a lot :)

Fresh made Seafood Paella. The location is a nice bar setting. Food actually ordered from food truck from outside back door and they bring dishes in when ready.

Que rico! Amazing Spanish food truck attached to a Belgium beer bar! What a great combo
