One Truck, A Whole Lot of Heart
Tumbleweed started in 2019 with a beat-up truck, a family salsa recipe, and a stubborn belief that the best food in Austin shouldn't cost twenty bucks a plate. We parked outside a brewery on a Friday night, sold out in two hours, and never looked back.
Seven years later we're still doing it the same way: tortillas pressed to order, meat marinated overnight, salsas made fresh every morning, and a salsa bar we're a little too proud of. We're family-run, we know our regulars by name, and we genuinely love what we do. Flag us down and you'll taste it.

The surest way to never miss us? Get on our location alerts. We post where we'll be each week, plus surprise drops and the occasional 'first ten people get free churros' kind of thing. Drop your number or email and we'll keep you fed.

Questions, Answered
How do I find out where the truck is?
We post our weekly schedule right here on the site and send it out to our location-alert list every week. The truck moves around — lunch shifts downtown, weekend nights on Rainey and South Congress, plus pop-ups all over — so getting on the alerts is the surest way to never miss us. Sign up and we'll keep you in the loop.
Can I book the truck for a private event?
Absolutely — it's one of our favorite things to do. We cater weddings, birthdays, office lunches, festivals, and just-because parties, anywhere from twenty to a thousand guests. Just send us your date, headcount, and location through the booking form and we'll put together a quote and a menu that fits your crew.
Do you have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options?
We sure do, and we take them seriously. We offer plant-based fillings, corn tortillas (naturally gluten-free), and clearly-marked options so everyone eats happy. Just let us know your group's needs when you book and we'll make sure no one's stuck with a sad side salad.
How much does catering cost?
It depends on your headcount, menu, and location, but food-truck catering is almost always a fraction of a sit-down caterer — and a whole lot more fun. We'll give you a clear, all-in quote up front with no surprise fees. Reach out with your details and we'll get you a number fast.
Do you take cards, or cash only?
Both! At the truck we take cards, tap-to-pay, and cash, so come however you like to roll. For catering and private events, we'll set you up with a simple invoice and a deposit to lock in your date. Easy all around.
How far in advance should I book an event?
For weekends and peak season, two to four weeks is ideal, and popular dates do fill up — but we love a good last-minute taco emergency too, so never hesitate to ask. The sooner you reach out, the better we can tailor your menu and lock in your spot.
