Antojitos El Flaco

July 7, 2025

Tucked beside the Wood Hollow HEB, Antojitos El Flaco is the kind of Austin food-truck secret you brag about later: sizzling tortillas, mountains of fresh cilantro, and a friendly chef named Oscar who remembers your “no-jalapeño” order on the second visit. The menu fuses border-town classics with generous Texas portions—think hulking breakfast tacos at dawn, spice-kissed al pastor at lunch, and molten-cheese enchiladas when the sun goes down. Everything is cooked to order on a spotless flat-top, then plated with charred jalapeños, lime wedges, and that addictive house green salsa. Picnic tables under the oaks make it an easy grab-and-go stop before groceries, while lightning-fast ticket times keep weekday lunches under 20 minutes. In a city packed with taco options, El Flaco stands out for warm service, fair prices, and flavor that punches above its tiny trailer footprint.
