Izzoz Tacos

An Austin restaurant review would not be complete without peppering in food trailers. They are plentiful in Austin and serve everything from tacos to Vietnamese sandwiches. One in particular that I had been itching to try was Izzoz on 1st street. Recently I saw a piece on this food trailer on the Food Channel and curious as to why they had not received more press as compared to other similar establishments. I had forgotten about them until we were in the area the other day and decided to give them a go. Sure enough, everything I had heard was true.

I am a sucker for anything seafood. So of course I went for the tempura shrimp taco. DELICIOUS. Surprisingly, the cole slaw and cilantro lime aioli took center stage over the shrimp.  I actually thought to myself 'I wish there was more cole slaw on this' and there is a lot!  I could have eaten a cole slaw taco, but the perfectly tempura fried shrimp were a delicious compliment. I will definitely be back for that one. My husband had the Slowrider, composed of braised machaca beef, caramelized onions, cotija cheese, and cilantro. Yum! I'm not a big beef taco eater, but his was so tender and perfectly seasoned. 

The menu also consists of a classic pulled pork taco, fried avacado and a roasted chicken with spinach and pico de gallo. I will definitely be back to try all of these out, and you should too!
