Austin's Chi'lantro began its life as a food truck, but that truck has recently been joined by a brick-and-mortar restaurant. The truck is still operating in locations around town (click here to see a calendar of upcoming locations!), and the sit-down eatery complements the tasty food with a chic interior boasting an exposed ceiling, colorful seating, and an airy atmosphere.
The food here is a distinctive take on Korean barbecue, and the restaurant's menu includes many of the inventive dishes that made the original truck so popular. If you visit the truck, you can choose from entrees like tacos, a burger, or kimchi quesadillas. You'll pick your protein for your dish, choosing between chicken, pork bulgogi, or tofu. Chi'lantro's Kimchi Fries might be one of the most popular orders: they're topped with kimchi, cheese, sriracha, and a special sauce and they're hearty enough to enjoy as a full meal (or to share). The restaurant's menu adds Korean fried chicken wings to the mix, as well as side dishes like chips and guac and savory fried rice balls.
