Perhaps the only Tibetan food spot around, Tibetan Momo food truck serves its namesake fried and steamed. Momos are type of dumpling or potsticker served in Tibet — traditionally with yak meat — but in Austin, they come in ground beef and vegetable varieties.

Song La is a food truck dedicated exclusively to traditional Taiwanese street food. Co-owners Aleksandr Karpets and his Taiwan-born wife Shirley Yang, thought Taiwanese food was woefully underrepresented and wanted to bring it to Austin. Song La will feature pork belly buns, braised pork fried rice, tofu fries, and bian dang, (think bento box).

Are regular frozen treats too boring for you? Try a colorful concoction from Ice Scrapers — perhaps a carrot cake sundae or Fruity Pebbles ice cream. This food truck is fun for the whole family. Lactose intolerant? Try one of the many flavors of snowballs.

THe Ginger Armadillo
