Drunk and stumbling around Rainey Street? The Art of Tacos truck, located at the Backyard Eatery, may be your best destination. But if you’re looking to relax and renew over conversation and drinks, shuffle your way just a little further and grab some small plates and dig in at the Tapas Bravas truck. Chef Jed Holdredge’s thoughtful creations will give you something to talk about.
Or, stop by their east Austin location the next time you’re grabbing drinks at the Weather Up bar. Either way, these tasty tapas are a nice departure from normal pub grub.
Recommended dishes
Patatas bravas
Sharing? These delicate fried potatoes served with organic spicy tomato sauce and garlic aioli are likely to cause dueling forks.
Albóndigas
Gorge yourself on these hand-made pork meatballs in a tomato brandy sauce, served with Easy Tiger baguette so none of that awesomesauce goes to waste.
