Yelp’s list of “Top 100 Food Trucks 2025” is out, and we’re not surprised to see Austin’s trucks had a wheely good turnout.

Austin earned more mentions than any other Texas city and was one of the most mentioned cities overall. Let’s see which trucks topped the list.

A barbecue sandwich stacked with smoked turkey and chorizo and topped with coleslaw sits on a metal tray beside a serving of pickled onions, placed on a reddish-brown picnic table in an outdoor setting with blurred wooden benches in the background.

Located in Cedar Park, this spot is known for its carne asada, birria, and tortas. Plus, they also serve vegetarian and vegan options.

No. 58 | Granny’s Tacos
A consistent favorite of Austinites, Granny’s Tacos is a great place to get breakfast tacos in east Austin. By the way — Granny’s is only open late on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

No. 69 | Boteco
This Brazilian truck has been featured on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” meaning it’s a great place to try fried yucca, pão de queijo, and feijoada. It’s currently listed as “temporatily closed” on Google.

Editor’s note: Flavia’s Kitchen ranked No. 68, but has since closed due to a tragic accident.
