25 trailers: A sampler

Bee Caves BBQ.The Waldrop family's smoky repertoire includes country-style pork ribs, pork loin and Taylor sausage, plus Sherry Waldrop's sweet blackberry cobbler. 8414 W. Bee Cave Road. 306-9040.

The Best Wurst. The little cart with buzz-satisfying grilled brats, onions and sauerkraut drew a big audience for its turf war with the upscale Parkside. After the sound and the fury and Facebook, Best Wurst moved 40 feet east. Two locations on East Sixth Street, one near San Jacinto Boulevard, one at Red River Street. www.thebestwurst.com .

Cazamance. A softly lit courtyard oasis in the Rainey Street crush. African-influenced food, including stir-fried chicken with peppers and olives in a bread bowl and whole, frosty coconuts. 90 Rainey St. 844-4414, www.facebook.com/Cazamance .

Chi'Lantro. This is an idea that sounds good on paper: Mexican food with a Korean streak, a kimchee-and-cilantro mix-tape. It comes off more like everyday tacos and wraps with a little sesame and ginger. Locations vary. Check at twitter.com/ChilantroBBQ .

Chris' Little Chicago. There are dog people and then there are ‘Chicago Dog' people. This is their little red trailer. The relish is greener, the sport peppers bigger, the Vienna beef ... Vienna-er. Poppyseeds will dot your smile. 3600 S. Lamar Blvd. 300-1791, www.chrislittlechicago.com .

Counter Culture. Like learning a new language, vegan jackfruit barbecue works best once you stop looking for the translation. It's spicy, fresh and filling, like the other sandwiches and salads from this vegan oasis in a gas-station parking lot. 120 E. North Loop Blvd. www.countercultureaustin.com .

East Side King.The brainchild of three cooks at Uchi. What do you call a place with pork belly and kimchee on steamed buns? Or deep-fried beets with kewpie mayo? Call it Asian-eclectic, delicious and about $4 to $8 per dish, because it's all those things, plus Thai fried chicken. Behind the Liberty bar at 1618 1/2 E. Sixth St. www.eastsidekingaustin.com .

Flip Happy Crepes. The cool aunt of all mobile Austin crêpe operations isn't afraid to blast your fillings out with flavor, like with the garlicky kick of a crêpe stuffed with moist roasted chicken, goat cheese and sweet caramelized onions. Be prepared to wait. 401 Jessie St. 552-9034, www.fliphappycrepes.com . (Last visit April 2010: 7.9 out of 10)

Frietkot. Start with Belgian-style hand-cut fries, served wow-that's-hot in a paper cone. Then dust with spicy salt (Madras curry, dill pickle) and dip into housemade sauces (creamy bacon, ancho barbecue, curry ketchup). Weekends at Seventh and Neches streets.

G'Raj Mahal Cafe. Part trailer, part Indian pavilion, part backlit mirage when the serpentine bicycle dragon glows at night. A full Indian menu, with curries, biryanis, tandoori meats and Goan specialties. Need a nightcap? Take the short walk to Rainey Street. 91 Red River St. 480-2255.

Holy Cacao. The cakeball picked up the baton when the cupcake stumbled. These golfball-size sugar bombs are part cake, part truffle, with bases of red velvet, white wedding cake, peanut butter and more. In the South Austin Trailer Park and Eatery at 1311 S. First St. 851-2253, www.theholycacao.com .

Hot Dog King.Thousands of staggering Red River rockers can't be wrong. The king's playlist reels from Elgin jalapeño-and cheese sausage to smoked venison to a classic Chicago dog. Weekends at Eighth and Red River streets.

Izzoz Tacos.The dream team of trailer tacos: avocado tempura, fresh-fried corn-shell Tex-Mex and slow-braised pork with pineapple. Steakhouse veteran John Galindo also does breakfast tacos and one of the city's best sandwiches: the Lone Star beef torta. 1207 S. First St. 326-4996, www.izzoztacos.com .
