Off of East 12th St. in Austin, Texas, there’s a great little food truck spot called the Arbor Food Truck Park. The park has been around since 2020 and has had some really awesome trucks cycle through.
First up: Ensenada. Ensenada specializes in Ensenada style tacos. The shrimp tacos are good, but the fish tacos are absolutely INCREDIBLE. The best I’ve had in Austin? Honestly, yes, I think so! Both the shrimp and the fish are fried in momma Liz’s secret batter recipe. Just a heads up – their weekday menu is different from the weekend menu. If you want their ceviche, BOYB micheladas, or shrimp cocktail, then you need to visit on the weekend. Whenever you visit, don’t forget the Limonada Topo!
Ensenada also sells their Salsa Macha and OMG it is soooo delicious. I took product photos for them and sampled the product afterwards. I put a little mixes with mayo on top of my salmon, I mix it into hummus, I drizzle it on tacos… like, if I can add the Salsa Macha I do.

Next is Cuantos Tacos. Cuantos Tacos has been an OG truck at Arbor Food Truck Park since 2020. Their Mexico City style street tacos are two-three bites each and are tasty tasty tasty! We ordered their carnitas, suadero (brisket), and lengua tacos. Cuantos also added a breakfast taco menu for Saturday mornings! I’ve gotta go back and try those ASAP.
Cuantos Tacos has been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand for good quality, good value cooking.
Sammataro Pizza and Cachitos 512 (Venezuelan Cuisine) are also at the Arbor Food Truck Park, but I could only eat so much food! I’ll have to plan another visit back soon.
In addition to these great trucks, Arbor Food Truck park has a little parking lot, tons of picnic tables, and twinkly lights that really set the vibes at night. What other food truck parks should I try? I feel like there are new ones popping up constantly!
