Hot Texas Grills

"Being that there’s only 2 options for food at Moontower, that’s the only reason I can tell how this place is still in business. The food is fine. But just fine. Nothing special. But the service from the guy today was plain rude and ugly. I asked for a BLT and he quickly grunted ‘I’m not doing the brunch menu today. I haven’t even prepping the potatoes and I’m juggling too many things’ … My guy… we were the only person ordering at the time and it’s 1pm. You JUST opened at Noon. So I ordered a BACON burger. WHICH IS JUST A HARDER BLT!! So unnecessarily rude. He seems to need to get out of the business completely. I get not being in the best of moods but being rude in so many ways (that I’m not including here) and just put off by your basic job in the slowest possible moment? The food is not good enough to deal with another angry for no reason guy in the world. And it sure seems like it’s not a one off when reading other reviews. It’s unfortunate that this place is a part of a good bar because it makes me want to choose any of the others outdoor bars right next door. Perhaps that was why there was so few people at Moontower and Armadillo Deb had a full parking lot."

"December 2023: While at Moontower Saloon I ordered food at Hot Texas Grills. I got the Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla. It was grilled chicken with melted monterey jack cheese, buffalo sauce and jalapeños with a side of ranch. The quesadilla what pretty huge and cut up in four slices. I was a bit messy to eat but tasted really good. The chicken had a nice flavor grilled on a pit and the jalapeños gave it some heat. A side of ranch sauce was included. It was a heavy meal filling me up for the day. Reminder napkins required where juices will fall out and perfect to pair it with a beer."

"Yep, rude service, was told the nachos would take 5 minutes but ended up waiting *30* minutes by this food truck without any notice. Food was okay, serving size was good, price was still high. Nearly $20 to wait half an hour for someone to scoop out some food onto mid chips? Good grief."

"Honestly the only good thing about this place is it’s at Moontower Saloon and if you’ve been drinking enough MAYBE it will taste ok. You’ll pay 15 dollars for a burger that is cafeteria quality at best. You’d do better to go get a fast food meal. Sad, I feel like there used to be good food trucks here. Like most aspects of Austin, people are cutting corners everywhere they can and hoping no one notices. I don’t leave many reviews but this was truly substandard."

"If you are at Moontower, the Food truck food tasted delicious! You got to try the pulled pork sandwich and the Queso! I didn’t try the quesadillas but, I’m sure they are good!"
