Shirley’s Trini Cuisine

Overall: Shirley's is a food truck located off of Rosewood. They serve delicious Trinidadian cuisine. The owner is so sweet and does her best to make sure customers are happy with their meals. Although it's a food truck there is a dedicated sitting area inside the building behind it. What I Got: - Oxtail fries: 10/10 I absolutely enjoyed these. The oxtail is tenders and goes great with the slightly crisp fries. This is a must try. - Curry goat: I really liked this! The goat was very tender and flavorful. the potatoes were a great add. Very good. - Stew Oxtail: I liked this. Not my favorite oxtails but they were tender. - Doubles: This was my first time trying doubles and although it wasn't my favorite dish, it was appreciated by my friend.

Shirley's is located in a permanent food park right next door to me. Also located there is Anything Baked Potato.I absolutely love the jerk chicken tacos and fried plantains.My boyfriend loves the curry chicken and oxtail sandwich.The plantains are cooked to perfection without becoming soggy and bland.The flavors of all the food have such an amazing combination of spices. Really hits the taste buds in the right spot. Grabbing food from this truck really feels like Trinidad.There's also outdoor seating available.

Live once but eat daily. Today Im excited to get a little Trinidad and Food from A local food truck. This corner has many selections of black owners, but I had to have some jerk chicken today. Ok I had a sample but for the big fest at dinner. Lets just say my mouth is falling in love. The service is so nice and why did she tell me they are having my requested roti tomorrow?!!!! Now Im restructing my day to try to make it tomorrow. It is still warm in Texas and there is a nice area of shade and inside seating as well. I look forward to going again.

Highly recommend getting the oxtail fries!The fries were nice and crispy and oxtail was 10/10Would also recommend to try the solo drinks, i have never seen them but i would go back for that drink alone. i will be back soon No photos to post bc it was too good to wait.We also tried the beef pie, it was very fresh and delicious. They were sold out of the chicken but im sure it was delicious as well.

Nothing makes me madder than when I check the hours of operation, leave to head across town only to discover that the operator decided not to come in and open up today. This happens way too often with trucks and I'm over it. Y'all can suck it for making me drive across town on date only for you to be closed.

God bless Shirley's! Some back story... I'm a Dominican/Trini from NY and thank god for this place. This is unfair because I'm posting something they don't have often, salt fish. This is the only place I can get good West Indian food. I mean the opportunity to capitalize on cultural eating in Austin is high. Hard to get authentic home cooked food, not the watered down version of a lot of things I've had. When I need a fix I get some doubles. But the stew chicken, curry anything and dhalpuri are my go-tos.

Same experience as Jay..... showed up during hours they were supposed to be open. But truck closed. Thanks for the waste of time. Not coming to try it if they can't even get this down.

Delicious food with great seasoning. I will definitely have it again when I'm in Austin, Texas.

Food is really good and reminds me of home. if i had to complain about something it would be Doubles are a little on the pricey side. that's not like true trini street food roots but hey, people buying it!

The food was delicious, several vegetarian options. Love their doubles and dal phourie roti skins.
