FOOD TRAILERS
From epicurian Airstreams to regular old taco trucks, food trailers are kind of a big deal in Austin, and wandering
from one to another is a fun way to experience the local food scene. Because of their transient nature, we haven't
listed any of these rolling restaurants, but since they travel in packs, we can tell you where they tend to congreg-
ate.

South Austin Trailer Park and Eatery
This seems to be a rather settled trailer community, with a fence, an
official name, a sign and picnic tables.
»
East Austin
This area has its own little enclave, conveniently located right among all the bars on the corner of
East Sixth and Waller St.
