Shrimp & Lobster on Wheels
Seafood on Austin's roster comes from the island truck: a half-pound lobster bowl, a shrimp bowl, padre shrimp tacos by the trio, with coladas and agua fresca to drink. The fusion truck adds island-style shrimp tacos and the Indo-Mexican truck does coconut shrimp and fries, so a seafood order can spread across two windows for a big crowd.

Best Times to Book in Austin
Plan around Central Texas weather and the festival calendar
Shrimp tacos and coladas are the summer order. Book evening service or a shaded line for July and August; the truck keeps seafood cold on board.
UT football Saturdays and ACL Fest weekends in October are the contested dates, so book those early. Otherwise this is the best outdoor weather of the year.
December holiday parties fill calendars, and January is the quietest month, with the widest choice of trucks. Austin's mild winters keep outdoor service comfortable most days.
SXSW week in March goes first, so book that early. April and May bring ideal weather, and graduation Saturdays in late May fill fast.
