They need to stop microwaving the food to reheat them. It becomes disgusting and rubbery. There are zero excuses to reheating good in a microwave in a food truck

What an awesome little food truck in an excellent food truck park. Delicious and homemade kolache's reasonably priced and very fresh. We'd loved both of our choices! Brisket and cheddar for the win. Will be back.

just great food! I got the jalopeño sausage kerlache and 2 brisket ones (the latter is my fav). the bbq saice is vinegary. I like that they had 1 vegetarian option (spinach & feta) for my wife. food came out pretty quickly.I wish they were open during dinner hours as well!

Hands down, my favorite kolaches in south Austin! The pastry is just the right amount of thickness, and the fillings are delicious.Best part if you're getting a box to go is the thoughtful details on top of each kolache - the number of crusty cheese strips will tell you a) how many ingredients are in that kolache filling and b) which one you've selected. Minor, but a brilliant product detail! ðŸ¤¯Once you eat one it's hard to stop, and we've watched folks bite into their third kolache in a row only to realize they are pleasantly full...then still eat it anyway. Can't recommend a stop into Kerlaches (and the rest of the Thicket trucks too) if you're in the area! ðŸ’¯Plus the person staffing the truck is SO kind and helpful! She's makes the experience of purchasing fast and a delight! ðŸ™ŒðŸ»
