When you're three beers in and the munchies hit...
...You usually don't want to go too far for a bite. That's why we compiled this list of the tastiest food trucks within stumbling distance of Austin watering holes. When the dining-drinking duos are this dynamic, it's more genius than laziness to park yourself at one bar all night. Explore the Best Food Trucks at Bars in Austin.
2307 Manor Rd
Don't let this little food truck fool you into thinking Patrizi's is just another cheap Italian knockoff. The menu offers tons of fresh pastas like Cacio e Pepe, Carbonara Alexandra, and Pomodoro, a savory bowl of roasted Roma tomatoes, olive oil, garlic confit, and house-made ricotta. While Patrizi's may be the small, little-food-truck-that-could, their pastas and small plates prove they're a big player in the Austin-Italian food game.

You no longer have to drive up north for a huge, delicious, juicy JewBoy Burger. You can now enjoy it in a cute slider version on East 6th right outside of Violet Crown. There's plenty of indoor seating as well as picnic tables outside for enjoying your sliders with a drink (try the Iron Whip), or just schedule your Uber to pick you up outside of Violet Crown and bring them home for a drunken late night feast. (If South Lamar is your spot, there's also a location at Gibson Street Bar!)

Tommy Want Wingy has various locations throughout Austin, but one of our favorites is at Barton Springs Saloon. Whether you're there after hanging at Zilker or finishing up a round at Butler Pitch and Putt, it's always a good time for their mouthwatering chicken lollipops.

500 Comal St
After a long night of two-steppin' at White Horse, make your way over to this quaint spot for some quesadillas, burritos or maybe an order of chips and queso. Their Campechana taco is especially bomb: beef fajita, queso, chorizo and a surprisingly wonderful pop of pineapple that will make you say woah.

This little truck is near and dear to our hearts at Do512. During evenings full of tunes blastin’ from Hotel Vegas’ stage, we’re drawn to El Borracho. This truck serves up an array of tacos and quesadillas - stop by on your next visit in between sets!

The pizza at Via 313 is Detroit-style - for those unfamiliar, that means deep-dish with a thick, crispy-on-the-outside crust. Our favorite thing to order is the Cadillac - Gorgonzola, prosciutto, fig preserves, and a balsamic glaze run the taste bud gamut. It's carb heaven, and right off Rainey Street, so load on up.

This food truck, nestled within the popular East 6th cocktail bar, Whisler's, offers a variety of self-described Asian-American comfort food. Come for the Thai Chicken Sandwich, stay for the Tiger Fries. Check out Golden Tiger's full menu right here.

2337 E Cesar Chavez St
At Arlo's, you'll find unbelievable vegan eats that will convert even the most die-hard carnivore - or at least get them to stop asking their vegetarian friends "What do you even eat?" We recommend the Bac'n Cheezeburger, composed of their house-made patty, seitan bac'n, vegan cheeze and more...which is nothing short of magic between two buns.
