"The line was an hour and a half. This was during the holiday season, so hopefully that 's not normal. I 'm not really a corn guy, but we got the corn for my kiddo and I tried it. That was the best corn I can remember having. Though it 's obvious they put mayo on it, it just seems so buttery. Seasoning was great. Got the sliced brisket taco and I guess I was supposed to ask for sauce. They supposedly make the sauce in-house so I wanted to try it but it was not to be, apparently. Brisket taco was good but the star of the meat show was the sliced brisket sandwich. The brisket was moist and the bread was excellent. Tons of brisket on it as well. My 10 year old wasn 't loving the long wait, but as soon as he bit into the sliced brisket sandwich his eyes rolled back and he said WORTH IT . I agree. Will be coming back, line or not. Great food here, just plan to be here for a while. Online ordering wasn 't available when we went, but give it a shot before you go. May be able to avoid the line."

What an amazing meal! I even treated myself to some beef. Everything was cooked to perfection with a rich smoky flavor. I tried several sides, including the tacos and the chopped brisket sandwich. I can't wait to return! The wait was about 20 minutes.

Great, great bbq joint in south Austin. Outside and shaded areas to sit but no inside, so don't expect a/c. Food was great, came out fast, and staff was very sweet. The potato salad isn't that great but the main attraction is spot on. Well definitely be back to try their breakfast tacos

One of the BEST food trucks I’ve ever had!!! So worth standing in line for. Every item we had was AMAZING but our favorites were the beef ribs and Chopped brisket sandwich. Their bbq sauce is super delicious! The queso and chips, potato salad, and smoked corn were the best sides we tried! Definitely would return!

This place single handedly changed my opinion of Tex Mex food. Get here as soon as they open because the line to order and wait after ordering can be 2+ hours long! It’s worth the wait. I would recommend looking at their daily menu for their unique menu items of the day and getting a classic brisket tacos. The sides are great as well, highly recommended the corn. View menu

This is some of the best BBQ I've ever tasted. The brisket was outstanding, which is often the benchmark for any BBQ place. I also had the pulled pork, chicken, and spare ribs, and everything was excellent. There was another dish I tried that truly stood out: the smoked carnitas tacos. They were incredible! Although there was a bit of a wait, it was absolutely worth it.

Initially rated Valentina’s 4 stars after a Sunday afternoon visit. This place has breakfast hours like McDonald’s. I was only able to get a chopped brisket sandwich and I had to judge based on the pork ribs. I have Carolina pork rib taste. Revised during breakfast hours, and I was blown away by the real deal holyfeild. It’s one of the best bites in BBQ industry! Family run business with great service. It was a treat to check this off of my BBQ bucket list.

We came for lunch and found plenty of parking available. One line had already formed, but it only took about 10 to 15 minutes before we ordered. It was a beautiful day, and we sat in a small covered outdoor area, but there are also interior seats. This was my first time here and it wasn't disappointed. All three of my holy trinity objects (cratt, pork flu and sausage compound) were worth the drive! The brisket taco, Hollywood Style, was also excellent! If you select your pages, make sure that the chips and queso! View menu

Austin's two favorite foods BBQ and Tex Mex (incl Tacos) fused into one. This gem of a family owned food truck in South Austin draws crowds. I went early evening on a weekday and there was hardly a crowd, but by 7pm, the line was forming and growing. Weekends the wait maybe over an hour. Because it's worth it. I tried the Tacos only the Brisket, the chicken were all amazing perfectly smoked and served on house made tortillas were delicious. The tacos were loaded with meat and fresh guacamole. Loved every bite of it.

It seems like they might have run out of meat because there's no real kitchen, but I visited around 1:00 PM and they had everything I wanted. The secret here are the tortillas: soft, thick flour tortillas that act like little pillows, enhancing the flavors of the grilled meats. The softness of the bread provides a delightful contrast to the grilled meat, especially the crispy bits. I tried the brisket, which was fantastic and perfectly filled the tortilla. The roasted chicken fajita was delicious, retaining its flavorful fry without becoming dry. I also ordered the pulled chicken, which was incredibly moist and savory—exactly how chicken should be! This was a brilliant five-star dish; I woul...

"I literally just made a review but I’m going to make another one because for whatever reason someone or somehow it got deleted. I used to be a regular at Bouldin and the service was always amazing but my last two visits have been by far horrible. The service has been so poor that I felt disgusted when leaving the restaurant. There are two girls that work there with light brown hair and blue eyes. Pretty sure one of their names is Rego. My boyfriend and I were served by her before and she seemed nothing but annoyed and couldn’t care less if we were in her section. Barley even interacted with us or asked how our meal was and just seemed disgusted by us, just being rude passive aggressive for no reason at all. I’m a server and I KNOW this isn’t how you treat your guests and the same thing happened tonight. She just seemed like she couldn’t care less if we were there and just seemed annoyed? I don’t mind paying the gratuity if I’m being treated decently but that wasn’t the case and I feel as though they feel like they think they can get away with behaving like mean girls just because there’s a gratuity. I have friends that dine here as well and they have had the same experience. I’m not one to write reviews but I feel this needs to come across a managers attention so they know who they are hiring and how they are treating customers. Really disgusted and disappointing and if this gets deleted again I’ll write another review or just call the store to speak to a manager. Disgusted by their behavior."
