The Peached Tortilla

Good Vegan/​Veggie Truck :) Wish I was closer to it.

Always has some stuff. One of my first food trucks in ATX during SXSW a few years back. A JapJam Burger while in hangover recover mode, hits the spot.

I’ve eaten here a handful of times and must be magically avoiding the good dishes. The sliders are average at best, with the brisket slider not tasting smoked whatsover. Tasted more like a generic shredded beef flavor with the absolute most puny and almost insulting amount of slaw and sauce. Hey, the bread is great though! The pork belly bowl is lousy. The daikon and carrots they put on it completely ruins the dish, in fact. So overwhelmingly fishy tasting it borderlines rotten. I love seafood but the horrendously potent off-​fishy flavor in the pickled veggies really ruined an otherwise average bowl of rice with shredded pork belly. It would take a series of unfortunate events for me to eat here again.

I will not ramble… .just know that this place… is my crack. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Asian inspired food and The Peached Tortilla does it for me. I will follow that truck anywhere. And the sit and eat… those Brussels man on man. I like the hoisin sauce on my bahn mi tacos. And THE SINGAPORE FLING!!! I’m drooling.

Have only been to the restaurant location! The Japajam Burger is delicious and so unique! Great service!

This for the truck only, though I definitely have a big curiosity about the brick and mortar now. I ordered the JapJam Burger. I love a good burger and always gauge if I will go back to a place based on how good they can make a burger. Is that dumb? Maybe. :) Anyway, Peached Tortilla comes to my job location every other week. Today I forgot my lunch and figured I would give them a shot. Let me first start by saying the truck is amazing, they staff is as friendly as can be. It is blowing wind and cold outside and the guy gave me a timeframe on my food so I could come back inside and wait. That will automatically give me respect for a business. I also didn’t feel rushed to order and get out of the way. When I walked back outside the girl at the pick up window was sweet as can be.
Now the burger. It was good. Not amazing. The description made me feel like I was about to walk into a flavorful spectra of burger goodness, I was waiting for the fusion. Mostly, I just tasted the BBQ sauce, which was very sweet. There were next to no onion strings on my burger which disappoints me because I think they could’ve balanced out the flavor and texture, and kept the bun from getting too saturated with all the sauce and yolk. By second bite, it was falling apart and instead of make a mess, I switched to fork and knife to finish the burger.
The meat itself was well cooked, Medium and nice and juicy. I could have used some seasoning as the toppings really overwhelmed the meat. I couldn’t taste the tomato jam, though I could see it. I think I got a hint or two in there. The egg was nice and the yolk burst immediately adding that nice flavor where the BBQ sauce didn’t overwhelm. I feel like the sweet needed to be balanced with something salty or tangy or spicy, my palette was begging for that throughout, something to round the whole thing out.
I have a feeling I might have to try this in the restaurant with some fries on the side (I didn’t order any). I liked it, but it was missing something. I’m not in love, but I really think I could be…

This is one of the classier food trucks in Austin. I’m not talking about chefs wearing full-​on culinary school aprons or picnic tables draped in white linen, I’m talking about the way their food looks. Each meal comes out carefully constructed, neatly wrapped or boxed, with a photo-​worthy platter of colorful, fresh-​looking ingredients. They get an «A» for presentation here. And whatever you order, it smells inviting. All the more reason to dig in with a voracious appetite.
The staff sure can craft some distinctive flavors. I can’t strictly categorize the food as Asian fusion, even though the names of their menu items would suggest it. Everything tastes somewhat different than what I would expect Asian fusion to be, and that difference ends up being a plus. The food ranges from good to delicious, depending on what you order. I’ve been most impressed with the pork belly banh mi, as both a burrito (where the ingredients pack tightly together and create a more intense flavor) and as a bowl (where you get a more deconstructed version that lets you sample each ingredient on its own, plus you get a fried egg). The pork belly is outstanding — it has this creamy texture and flavor that makes it seem like a delicacy. It’s their best meat, and I probably haven’t had it better elsewhere. For the Asian-​style flavors, the daikon carrot and sriracha mayo are always fresh and add some nice contrast to the meat. The rice is terrific too. This is my go-​to order whenever I show up here.
I’ve had their Chinese BBQ burrito with chicken as well. It was very good, but not spectacular like the pork belly. The chicken was high-​quality and cooked well, and the flavors were strong, but it didn’t quite come together for me. Still worth trying. The BBQ brisket burrito was the most odd and disappointing one so far. Nothing about it was bad, though the brisket was a little dry. It was simply that the ingredients didn’t work together: They put an apple slaw and peach BBQ sauce in with the brisket, which is certainly adventurous, but each item would do better on its own. I couldn’t bring myself to like it — this weirdly sweet burrito was just too far a departure from tried-​and-​true BBQ.
Overall though, this truck is a must-​try. I haven’t visited the brick-​and-​mortar on Burnet, and they have a different menu, so I can only endorse the truck. The prices here are practically unbeatable for the quality you receive. They aren’t always out and about, which makes them difficult to run down most of the time, but eating their food is an experience you’ll thank yourself for later.

We showed up here on a Friday evening during ACL, so busy is an understatement. Highly rated by Unilocal so our expectations were also up, and they met them maybe even exceeded them a bit. Great service, quick with the food and the waitstaff knows a lot about the food, always a bonus. The space is used really efficiently so considering it’s a smaller place you do not feel cramped, parking sicked a little but the food and service made up for it. We had a taco of each variety, all good, I had a dish called southern fun and it was really tasty. The Asian movie night dessert sounded kinda weird so we got it, also incredible, hit them up.

Another great find at ACL eats! After being recommended to eat from this venue at ACL, I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did because it was excellent. The crunchy fish tacos were delicious and flavorful. A great combination of flavors, and I would love to try the pork belly tacos as well. Hope to try the actual food truck soon!

I’ve never been to the food truck so this is just for the brick and mortar.
I made reservations for our group on open table and they were great at accommodating them. I highly recommend doing this as it is a TINY restaurant. They weren’t all the way full when we went on a Tuesday night, but I can see there being a wait on the weekend.
You can also park across the street in the shoe store parking lot which is nice because the parking is so small.
The restaurant interior is so cute. It screamed girls night to me, so I’m glad we did infact have girls night there. I love the roof plants they have to add some greenery in the modern design.
Now on to the food: I’m not the most adventurous eater, but I really LOVE Asian food. I had their poached chicken dish, it was so moist and the portion was HUGE. Definitely filling and something you can share. We also ordered a dessert of the nutella spring rolls. Amazing!
I hardly ever order dessert at restaurants, but this one was definitely worth ordering.
There were a ton of people at the bar because it was «taco Tuesday». Wednesday night they have Fried Chicken Wednesdays. So, check for their happy hours because they do have good happy hours. Already counting down the days for my next visit!

Rodan and Fields was being hosted at the convention center and most days I was stuck eating a sandwich and chips from a small vendor inside the convention center so when we heard there were food trucks I was beyond excited. I was not sure which food truck to choose from and a friend decided on The Peached Tortilla.
I ordered the combo meal which had 2 tacos and either regular fries or sweet potato fries. I chose the Banh Mi tacos (Vietnamese braised pork belly, pickled daikon carrot, sriracha mayo & cilantro). The tacos were good but I wish I would have remembered I do not like how fatty pork belly was because there was several chunks of straight fat inside the tacos. *yuck* The texture was a little different but the flavor was there.
The sweet potatoes were not cooked to my liking but once again the flavor was good. There were just thousands of women in the convention center so I’m sure they were a bit overwhelmed.
The gentleman who rang up my order was friendly and knew the menu very well.

I came to The Peached Tortilla on a Friday night around 7:30 pm without a reservation. Bad idea. Small parking lot, small restaurant, awkward and pretty much nonexistent waiting area. However, this restaurant was very packed so I thought they must be doing something right. My boyfriend and I waited for about 40 minutes.
During this time, we checked out Atown which was conveniently next to The Peached Tortilla. This boutique was really neat and I definitely recommend stopping by. There were all the cool handmade works by local artists! And most importantly, it was a great way to kill time.
Finally, we were alerted by text that our table was ready. Our hostess was polite where she led us to a high top table in front of the bar. This table was squished in between two other tables and was dimly lit. We asked if we could move to a low top table in a better lit area and the server nicely accommodated us. I really liked where we sat since it was right next to the bright orange shades of tessellated patterns and the lighting was great! We ordered the chicken wings, Malaysia laksa bowl, and the hangar steak ssam.
Crispy Umami Chicken Wings with fish sauce vinaigrette, herbs, shallots:
In this appetizer there were three pieces which were delightfully crispy and well seasoned with basil and shallots. This was actually my favorite dish!
Malaysia laksa bowl with a poached shrimp, japanese noodles, curry seafood broth, bean sprouts, and a 45 minute egg:
Although beautifully presented, the Malaysia laksa bowl was a disappointment. The broth was a bit too thick in texture and too strong in seafood flavor. It gets very boring very quickly. However, the shrimp was very tender and the egg was soft boiled perfectly.
Hangar steak ssam with house kimchi, shiso leaves, rice:
The steak was cooked to a nice medium rare and was also garnished with shiso leaves — smart decision where this herb is minty, cinnamony, and anise-​y for lack of better words. There was also a pleasingly tangy aspect to the steak. Using lettuce wraps was not exactly a pleasant surprise as it wasn’t mentioned on the menu. Honestly, I don’t think the lettuce wraps were necessary even though it can be viewed as more of a «fun» kind of dish.
The environment was fun and the décor was bright and energetic, but I was not impressed by the food. I do not see myself coming again but if I ever do, it would be for the happy hour which would hopefully have less people and would be more worth my money.

Just finished up some tacos from the food truck parked outside of my workplace. I understand the glowing reviews but today, it I guess it just wasn’t my day.
Pad Thai Taco — the chicken was moist and delicious, if I had the bowl I think that I would have loved it, but pad thai wrapped in a tortilla is not my favorite fusion. This was my favorite taco that I had though — ⁴⁄₅
Brisket Taco — This was a good standard taco, a little fatty, but other than that, there is a reason that this is on their top list. ⁴⁄₅
Banh Mi — this was ultra greasy and made me sick to my stomach, I only managed one bite of it. ¹⁄₅
I think I ordered wrong for my taste, will definitely try this again but I will order a slider or a bowl.
Nice friendly people and super fast service, just wasn’t impressed with the tacos.

Had the pad thai taco and banh mi taco…
Pad thai was pretty good, nothing special. Felt like the meat was on the dry side, and there wasn’t much flavor going on. Wouldn’t order it again.
The Banh Mi though… wow, I could have eaten about 4 of these bad Larrys! Was amazing. Moist, flavorful, and extremely addicting.
Want to try the brisket tacos/​sliders next time.

«C’mooon lady. are you for real?» That’s what I was thinking on my second trip to this food truck. Ms. I-​Have-​Obvious-​Dietary issues peppered the poor window guy with tons of questions about the rice, the tortillas, etc. and then finally settled on a burrito and some bacon jam fries. Riiiight, lady (I heard your name!)…those bacon jam fries are no cause for concern, calorically. That convo was probably karma for what my family & I have often done inadvertently to unsuspecting waiters. Sorry to you ALL.
After her, I wanted to radically simplify for the window dude’s sake, opting for «two sliders, one of each please» (HOW. EASY.) And they were fan-****ing-tastic. Can’t even decide which of those little honeys was better than the other one! But you could probably sandwich a sh*t-covered shingle between Hawaiian rolls & I’d probably eat it, with yummy noises. I’m certain their toppings were not either of those (instead being brisket and pork banh mi), and they were the bomb. I highly recommend Peached Tortilla, but I’m not sure rule-​ridden fussy eaters ought to be food truckin’ it. Not to be foodist but if you’re gonna be THAT WAY, tip generously for them putting up with you.

The Spread: I visited this food truck during the SXSW craze, and ordered two Bahn Mi tacos. The flour tortillas were the perfect pillows to wrap the braised pork belly, pickled daikon, carrots and cilantro filling. The five spice flavor was distinct. I enjoyed the crunch of the daikon and carrots and the Sriracha mayo drizzled atop the tacos was a nice subtle addition, but overall, the tacos just seemed ‘meh’. The pork belly was on the fatty side, and really greasy. None of the flavors seemed bold enough.
I did enjoy the sweet potato fries which were freshly made with the perfect touch of salt.
The Scene: I found this truck parked downtown on 6^th street. It was SXSW time, so there was a crazy line for food, but it moved fast.
The Service: Kudos for the speedy service. My order came out super quick and piping hot. It was delivered so fast that one of my sweet potato fries was actually raw, but hey, that’s OK. The rest of the fries were delicious.

I’ve seen all the hype coming into this, but it wasn’t the mind blowing experience I was hoping for.
Some friends and I showed up at the Long Center for this year’s final Trailer Tuesday. I had high hopes for all of the evening’s offerings, but ended up partaking in only two trailers, one of which was the famed The Peached Tortilla. (Sorry, college student budget can only support so much!) I got two BBQ tofu tacos, and split the kimchi arancini balls with someone else.
The tacos had WAY too much sauce on them. My tortillas and tofu were drowning (poor babies didn’t stand a chance), and I wasn’t able to taste any of the other toppings. My friend’s were drowning in oil. (Gross.)
The arancini balls were pretty good. They were on par with the risotto balls I had at Enoteca Vespaio just this weekend. I was a fan of the spice level, and the takoyaki look of the whole deal was sorta cute.
Overall, this place was not worth the money. (Thankfully the wait wasn’t horribly long.) My bill would have been $ 12 for two snack-​size tacos and four balls of fried rice if it weren’t for a few discounts. (Thanks, Paypal!)
Would I return? POSSIBLY. Their menu is intriguing and I believe that their high ratings must have some merit. If they’re having a good day and a full menu (not the Trailer Tuesday one), I might return, for a discount.

The Short: Pricey, but one of the best tacos I’ve ever had! Gotta get any taco with pork belly!
In a taco-​crazed city, raves about a taco food truck is a big deal, and I had to try it. I ordered the BBQ Brisket Taco, the Chinese BBQ Taco with Pork Belly, and the Belgian fries. I’ll start with this: their pork belly and brisket are amazing!
The pork belly had a high fat: meat ratio, so flavors were strong and they were delicious. I’ve had pork belly plenty of times in my life, but these are on a whole new level. Each bite was explosive in taste and paired well with the Asian slaw, Chinese BBQ sauce, and the cilantro. It tasted like the Chinese BBQ sauce had a component of Hoisin sauce, and its sweetness was perfect for the pork belly. Meaty, sweet, and fresh ingredients all wrapped within a lovely flour tortilla; I could eat these all day!
The brisket was moist and seasoned very well. I nearly took off points for the lack of fattiness, but then I realized that a lot of it just fell out of the taco as I was eating it! The BBQ was slightly heavy for my taste (I usually don’t eat meat with sauce), but like the Chinese BBQ Taco, the savory brisket complements well with the fresh slaw and the sweet BBQ sauce.
The Belgian fries to me weren’t all that special. However, they were very very crispy and not too salty at all. The Parmesan cheese topping was a good extra layer or flavor as well. I could easily rank these fries in my top 5.
The only reason why I’m struggling to give Peached Tortilla 5 stars is cause of the price. It’s almost unfair because given the price, while the quantity is lacking, the quality of the tacos is definitely worth it. I would’ve loved to have at least twice as much fries after paying $ 3.50 for them.
You know what? Pork belly is mad difficult to make and Peach Tortilla killed it! Have your 5 stars!

Peached tortilla is my favorite food truck in Austin… and that’s saying a lot! It beats chilantro in my opinion, but just by a little! The first time I had Peached was at a food truck throwdown, Peached Tortilla vs. Chilantro. Both were delicious, however it was their brisket taco that got me. I’m a true Texan so I love me some brisket! Chilantro ended up winning by about 8 or 9 votes, that’s how close it was!
Anyways I’ve gone back to Peached since then and ordered the lunch combo. This time I tried two sliders, one bahn mi and one brisket, they were both delicious, and it also came with their «Belgian fries» which are sprinkled with Parmesan and cilantro. I could just eat those fries alone… mmm those dang fries were perfection! Ok I’ll stop blabbing now… but seriously, I love this place!

The Peached Tortilla is one of the best food trucks/​trailers in Austin. The Roppongi Dog is beyond amazing. It’s an asian-​style hot dog with pork belly stuffed in the middle of the hot dog and a fried egg on top. I just wish that they served it more often. I think it’s my favorite food truck dish – full stop.
The other things here are also great. The Bahn Mi Sliders stand out as does the Japajam Burger. The variety makes this one of the few places where even the most conventional of my coworkers can eat happily alongside those of us who want something new, different, fusion, and dare-​I-​say even hipster.
I’ve had a bit less luck with the brisket from here, but that’s only because brisket at other places in Austin is so damn good. In general, the best stuff on the menu is what makes use of their sauces which are exceptional. Their bacon jam, their peach sauce, and their sriracha mayo are all stunning.
The only drawback of this place is that they don’t serve the Roppongi dog more often.
