east side king

i've already been to east side king on south lamar twice since we've beenbackin austin, texas. it's just that good. the first time we went for lunch and i tried...

disappionted!. nice portion sizes but i noticed as i was eating that the chicken is getting softer and softer. so out of curiosity i cut into the chicken and its raw! about 75% of the chicken pieces are way undercooked. i tell my friends to stop eating and check their food to see if it was just my order. they noticed the same exact thing and thanked me for saving their lives. we walkedbackto the truck and a couple more people had the same results and getting money back. so when it came to us the lady asked us if everything was okay and i immediately said no and that we had the same problem as the previous customers. she asked me if i wanted another box of food. i told her no that i wanted a refund b/c at this point i had lost my appetite. she sighed gave me a look like "how dare you want your money back" and proceeded to continue the transaction. i was a little upset b/c it's not my fault they served all of us raw chicken! i am all about supporting local vendors and enjoy food trucks like everyone else, but i will not be goingbackto this one! eaters beware!!!

dirty tables, bad food. the tables were so sticky, twice i've put paper napkins down so my phone wouldn't stick. people have to clean their own table to start eating.. the chicken taco was awful. cold tortillas, barely any chicken for $3? i can get a chicken taco anywhere in town that's hot, worth 2 tacos on a hot tortilla. i watched the help drop chop sticks on the floor and put thembackon the table to use. it was disgusting. the food comes out luke warm at best. if it's so dirty outside what's it like in the kitchen?

best lunch ever. went today at lunch. arrived right at noon, got a parking spot on the south side of the building, and didn't have to wait in line. found a seat outside, in back, in the sun, on a brilliantly sunny, cool april day and they brought the food out to us. had the octopus taco, beet home fries and brussel sprouts salad. it was the best lunch have had in austin, ever. i even wentbackand told the chef, whilst banging on the counter to emphasize each word, "that was awesome"
