Puli-ra - Manchaca

Lovely food trailer with unique selections that were exceptionally fresh and delicious. Great service, tasty food. Thumbs up! That naan!

This was one of the best Austin finds I've had in a while. A group of my friends and I had the best time and BEST food when visiting Puli Ra. We had the cheeseboard, Roti tacos, Chark board special, and the custard... HOLY MOLY! The cheeseboard, was perfect... every detail and taste was amazing and one of the most reasonable prices I've seen in Austin! The special had an amazing rice made with beet vinegar accompanied with the most phenomenal fish. The custard had so much depth, it just kept on going. Trying Deepa's dishes manages to make you feel so sophisticated and at home, simultaneously. Bravo! Thanks Deepa for being so amazing, sitting with us a bit, and for existing. I'm bringing my husband this weekend for our anniversary meal!

Dining at Puli Ra was a wonderful experience that we hope to repeat soon. We ordered four things off their menu- kid version of roti taco, Dan Dan Noodles, Boudin board and Chark board. The roti taco was just right for our son. Mild yet flavorful, and filled with generous amounts of roasted squash over the roti and egg. Dan Dan noodles do actually numb your tongue with all the sichuan peppers, so make that the last thing you eat. Deepa (chef Puli.Ra) warned us early about this. The Boudin board and Chark board were both delicious. Boudin board was slightly bitter, possibly from the crumbled sausage being lightly charred, but I enjoyed the composition nevertheless. The chark board was a really yummy platter of fish (drum) and rice. Both were well sized portions, and we had to take the Dan Dan Noodles to-go because we were so full. We sat inside Texas Keeper, and both bartenders made for wonderful company. Their dry Keeper #1, as well as off-dry Goldrush paired really well with our food. At the end of the night, after closing shop, Deepa joined us for a while as well, providing us with friendly conversation in addition to the food. It was a relaxing and delicious experience in all, and we hope to repeat it. Extra points for being kid friendly!

Oh. My. Gosh. Talk about amazing food. Showed up with a friend and let her order. Think we ended up with the Chark board, cheese board, roti taco, and the flan...NOTHING disappointed. Unexpected and delicious flavors, things I didn't even think I liked, I LOVED. So glad to discover this little gem. Delish. My recommendation? Just show up and ask what you should be eating, let the kitchen order for you and try something new. You won't regret it.

Puli-Ra has to be my favorite food truck in ALL of Austin. Incredible menu that changes daily/weekly, and I can truly say I have enjoyed every unique dish. From the ever-changing boudin and cheese boards, to the specials...I dream about this food! Texas Keepers and Puli-Ra are my weekend go to now, there is no better place to be.
