Austin Daily Press

We had the Lucille and Canadian Tuxedo with the brussel sprouts. The cashier was very friendly and quick to answer questions. I didn't think I would like the jam on the brussel sprouts but he suggested I try it on the side, I'm glad he said that because it was delicious. The sandwiches were so good as well!! Unexpected sandwich combinations, but so good together! Would definitely recommend trying this place.

I enjoy different bowls, like the Chicken Tinga and the Lucille Greens & Grains, and love ordering ADP, when I'm working in the area. I had Austin Daily Press cater my baby shower of 70+ people last weekend, and the Build Your Own Bowl Bar was a hit! We got so many compliments from guests that they enjoyed the food with many going back for more. Food really makes a party, and I’m happy we chose ADP for catering our special baby shower! Highly recommend.

Damn this place is delicious. I got the Deville bowl with grains and greens instead of rice and the personal Brussels. Such great flavors. Go here for a quick lunch!

Jalapeño hushpuppies are a must. They carried this whole meal. Taco was good. Wasn’t a fan of the bowl. Has Vegan and Vegetarian options. Would return to try out other items

We’re just visiting from Houston and randomly stopped at this really chill spot Austin Daily Press and wow, what a great find! The vibes were super chill, the service was friendly, and the food? Absolutely amazing. We ordered the jalapeño hushpuppies, the chicken tinga rice bowl, and the Deville rice bowl everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. Each bite felt thoughtful and satisfying. We walked away with full, happy tummies and definitely plan to come back next time we’re in town!

Yall, this is some of the best food in Austin. Rice bowls are delicious and trendy, the vegetarian food selection is great, and the protein is really tasty. I feel great after I eat here. So if you’re trying to eat a bit healthier then this is a rather safe place in my opinion. I met the owner today, he was an incredibly sweet guy and it’s good to know that kind hands are behind the food that we eat! Highly recommend!

This place is good if you come on the right day; but they are inconsistent. The first time I went it was delicious! The second time, my steak was barely warm. The hush puppies were burnt to a crisp. I said I didn’t want them and they remade them. The second batch they were burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside. Clearly the grease was up too high. Not sure I’ll come again…..

Our company ordered catering from this place because I raved about the fact that I used to love their food years ago. The hush puppies were delicious. Our tortas on the other hand were underwhelming and had no flavor. I would like to see more options given when ordering catering and the last time I visited this place was when they were located on Cesar Chavez (2020). Please consider brining back the breaded shrimp -called Dewey

A quirky Austin like place with excellent food. A food truck without wheels. Outside picnic tables are your onsite dining option. The ordering is a bit odd like you are ordering takeout or delivery. Once you figure it out it is fine. We ordered The Cuban 5/5, Brussel sprouts 5/5, THE CANADIAN TUXEDO 5/5, and CHICKEN TINGA STREET TACO 4.5/5.

Everything I've eaten from here has been really delicious. I just recently had the cauliflower plant-based chorizo bowl and it was really good. I like that the "chorizo" was over a bed of rice and wasn't too heavy. Their agua fresca that was watermelon and mint was really good as well. It's a bit pricey, but the portions are medium to generous. The people that work the window are always helpful and patient the outdoor seating is limited, but it's not terrible. There's some shade and there are fans going to beat this summer heat.

Great sandwiches and awesome deal (2 large sandwiches for $20!). Nice outdoor space and chill vibes. We got the Deville (chipotle chicken, crispy plantains, grilled pineapple) and the pork belly. Filling and delicious. Would like to come back and try some other options as they have bowls, tacos, and some bomb looking paninis!

Love Austin Daily Press! They have really good rice/greens bowls, tacos and tortas. My favorite is the Deville bowl with plantains, braised chicken, and pineapple (sort of an al pastor vibe). All outdoor seating, across from Sour Duck and Juiceland on MLK.

We got the Pork belly torta, the cauliflower chorizo torta, jalapeño hush puppies, and the arnold palmer. The Pork Belly torta was pretty good! Solid flavors, meat was a little dry but all in all a good sandwich. I would come back and order it again. The cauliflower chorizo torta was very mid. The whole thing was very one note, not enough flavor at all, and very mushy. I would not order it again and would not recommend getting it. The jalapeño hush puppies were amazing and my favorite thing that we ordered. Seasoned really well with a bit of spice, these are a 10/10. The arnold palmer wasn't bad, just very tart. So if that's your thing then go for it. The ambiance was alright, only seating outside and you order online. So it's more of a pickup and go kind of place. Service was fine, the guy was normal. All in all, I would come back again for a quick lunch or snack!

The jalapeno hushpuppies are fantastic, 10/10 would recommend. The Edward vegan taco was not bad, more on the mushy side in terms of texture with the edamame fritter and smashed avocado. The tacos are definitely full so expect some spillage. It wasn't bad, but I would prob not get this again. I will definitely come back for the jalapeno hushpuppies though

Amazing food and service! The cauliflower "chorizo " tacos and nachos were delicious. Will definitely be back!

Get the deville bowl.. thank me later sooo good and flavorful. Not too heavy either. Horchata flavor was good but it's a bit thick/grainy... I'd prefer if it was smoother and less thick but if you don't care about textures you would like the flavor! Hush puppies were good as well if that's your thing. The Lucille torts was pretty good as well but the flavors aren't as well combined as they are in the bowl. Highly recommend a bowl. I'll be back next time I'm in town. It's a casual outdoor walk up and order at the stand. If it's not raining too bad their patio works too. It's covered so we sat outside even though it was raining a little bit.

This place has been on my list for forever, glad I finally got to try it! Every time I drive past, it's so cute and tempting. I got the Edward Torta - wow. It is a pretty big sandwich and it was so delicious. The peppers added a nice spice and the actual patty was so crispy. The avocado, which I normally psis on, added so much depth to the sandwich. Each bite was delicious, I did not want it to end. The bread was so soft and a delicious cushion to the filling. They seem to have 4-5 base flavors and make that in a torta version, a bowl, a taco, etc.

Cute spot to eat outside on wooden picnic tables - edamame burger had some kick- delicious vegan option. The Deville bowl w chicken & pineapple also YUM. Ordered online while leaving Austin airport & food was ready a couple minutes after we got here. Friendly service, chill vibe, parking lot all good. Would love to return again & try more items

The food was very good! I got the Canadian tuxedo torta and my husband got the pork belly torta. Both were wonderful and the tortes were AMAZING. The waitstaff also deserves to be mentioned for how they handled a small mistake. Honestly it was my oversight but they went out of their way to find a solution. While we don't live in the neighborhood, we would drive down for them again.

I used to LOVE ADP and was excited to be by the East side again so I could get my favorite pressed sandwich. However, this time my food was burnt to a crisp and it looks like they tried to hide it by flipping the bread over so it was on the inside of the sandwich. Just really unfortunate turn in quality :/

Tacos were alright. The lucy is good and so is the pork belly. Would not recommend the Cauliflower chorizo.

Tacos and tortas are great. Prices are on par with most any other local fancy taco spot. But I'd suggest going while they've got one of their weekly specials going to get the best value. Skip the salsa add-on for the chips though, it's two dollars for literally 1oz of dip. Wild.

The Austin Daily Press is not a newspaper. No sir, it's not even a cold press juice bar. It's a great casual kitchen in East Austin that serves tortas, paninis, tacos and bowls. Since we are a vegetarian family, we had to try out their "caul me" and "edward" tortas, and both were quite good. Between the two, the edward with its edamame fritter and avocado won the day; the cauliflower chorizo was also good though. From their snacks and sides menu, we also ordered the fried brussels, which also lived up to its promise. Ordering is all online; even if you show up there in person, you have to order on your phone. That makes it all a tad... um, impersonal. We stepped out for a brief walk after ordering, and when we got back, our food was ready and waiting in a bag. So we never saw the folks who run the place. The outdoor seating was good. They have parking but it's a small lot. They don't serve coffee, but that was easily solved with a visit to a coffee bar across the street. All in all, we had quite a good lunch visit.

I keep coming here bc it's close to my house and I like the Deville bowl a lot but I can't say it's the most consistent in food or service. Also they never read my note to not give me utensils and a bag :(

This place is such a great lunch spot. I've ordered from there several times on Thursdays when they have the torta special. I get the chicken torta and the Brussels sprouts. The sandwich is pretty large and has a fair amount of chicken and avocado. The brussels are probably my favorite item. They're sweet, crunchy, and delicious! Even if you're not a fan of Brussels sprouts you'll dig these,

This is the kind of spot ATX is known for and the food doesn't disappoint. A super unique menu and a simple outside seating area means great food and a good spot to hang out. I had the Lucille torta, which was great. Order came out quick and staff was great, checking in on us.

Awesome stop after doing a hike around Austin. Ordered online. Food was ready and kept in a warmer upon our arrival. Had the Cuban and man oh man was it good. Perfect about mustard and meat with delicious fillings on top. My wife had the grilled pineapple and chimichurri with braised chicken added. Delicious as well. Has a nice little set of patio tables to sit down and enjoy your food!

False advertising alert. The photos show chicken breast, they sold me chicken tinga. Not the same thing Sir. Then I was told the owner changed and that's what he did wnfs us to serve. Wtf! no! It doesn't work like that, if your photo shows chicken breasts then sell me that. On a good note, they made it right.

As someone who works in the service industry, know that i loathe yelp. But when the joint is this good, i have to speak up. The tortas are perfection and if i were on death row, I would ask for as many jalapeño hush puppies that the state could muster up with taxpayer money. The people in the kitchen are kind and genuine, and deserve recognition for the magic they do. Todd (i think that is the name I caught) went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Don't pass this place up. You'll regret it if you do.

Came here for lunch on a weekday. No line. They no longer have an item that I was eyeing on yelp so I had a somewhat custom sandwich. It ended up being a caprese and I asked them to add pork belly bc I needy meat in my meal. It came out pretty good! People working there are nice. They have tables for you to sit but it's right next to a pretty busy street. Would come back if I'm in the area.

If you're looking for breakfast/lunch/brunch and are in the Eastside area, come through to this food truck. Service is friendly. We were immediately greeted with smiles at their order window, and found the picnic table seating so communal. They have wifi too, but it didn't seem to work for us that day. You bus your own plates/baskets after eating, which is great because diners have to take responsibility for their trash! The menu is pretty extensive for a food truck, so there is something here for everybody. The tacos were calling my name (they serve breakfast ones too like MIGAS), but they also have tortas, fried goods, and sandwiches to name a few. They also serve drinks like cold brew. There are so many appetizing items on the menu that I'll definitely come back again. Also, ask for their salsas because it's delicious. It tastes like Yellowbird salsa. The migas taco was the true winner in my eyes. I also enjoyed the cauliflower chorizo, which is vegetarian for all y'all curious. It's their version of chorizo made with cauliflower in delicious sauce that reminds me of mole. The tortillas are what I kept on raving on and on about. They put it on the grill to give it that delicious warm texture. The food did take a while to come out (like 10-15 mins), but we were a larger group like around 8 total. The parking is also quite limited, as they share the small plot with other restaurants and businesses (like Juiceland). But it has a family and low-key vibe--plus it always helps to support food trucks who don't have a brick and mortar space. We also saw lots of people come by and get orders to go, so that's a good sign too! Thanks for the yums.

Good spot to grab something quick. Tasty food. Healthy choices. Lots of food though! 1 taco was good for me and my daughter ate a little more than half of the Lucille bowl. The Lucille bowl is full of flavor!! I had the Pineapple Express taco. That was delicious! 1 taco was 2. Overall good, we waited here and it meat wasn't hot, just an observation.

I love this little sandwich joint! They only have patio seating, so make sure to come by when the weather's nice. You order at the window and take a buzzer. The staff is friendly and the food comes out quickly. The 'Edward' torta ($9), despite being vegetarian, had SO MUCH FLAVOR. The telera bread was fluffy but held together well. The edamame fritter was interesting (like healthier falafel). The peanut sauce was addicting. I've also had the cauliflower chorizo & pickled onion panini ($6). It was like an upgraded grilled cheese. Loved the spiced cauliflower and crispy bread. Highly recommend both sandies--delicious and large portions! My only complaint: the water from the tub that they left out tasted nasty. They just need to clean out the tub and change the water more frequently (some ice in it would help).

Wow! Wow! Wow! First place we visited as soon as we landed and it was amazing omg! Had a vegan cauliflower chorizo torts! It incredible! Robust flavors, hearty and delicious!!! Super cute and low key spot to hang and eat. Can't wait to try it again and try another item! Highly recommended! I was starving so I didn't get any pictures lol

I just had the lucille torta and i think i'm going to dream about it tonight. SO GOOD

Our first meal in Austin :) we saw this food shack on the drive in and walked there from our air bnb. The place is so cute with tables situated outside. The menu had all sort of good food it was hard to decide! I was in between many tortas so I was happy to find out I could get a flight of tortas. I decided on the caprese, Cuban and the chicken/pineapple one (forgot the name). It was the perfect amount of food and each one tasted delish! Some of my friends got the regular tortas and they were huge! I think everyone enjoyed their food and was satisfied :) great quick meal that is packed with flavor !

Torta food truck with an elevated Americana twist. Get your filling of pork carnitas, lemongrass braised pork or cauliflower chorizo on a Mexican telera, in a taco or a bowl. Their Smoked Poblano Queso With Grilled Beet Pico, Goat Cheese Yogurt was a bit too sweet for my tastes. Minus one star for undercooked jalapeño hush puppies, although the flavor profile definitely stood out and I'd be game to return and try them again when cooked the right way. Don't forget r te he spicy ranch dip and splurge on both red and green salsas for a fresh green citrusy zing or a Smokey red heat. Come join us on their patio next time to try some other items on the menu. Happy eating everyone!

LOVE THE VEGAN TACOS Walked up from Congress street and it was well worth the stroll This place has the best vegan soft tacos and an incredibly low price. I don't know how they do it, but keep it up! Lots of options for meat-eater and vegetarian/vegan as well. Everyone is happy. It's a small establishment with window order and picnic table seating area. I don't know if it was the owner who came out to say they weren't open yet but was generous and friendly in offering to answer any questions I may have. I came back a little while later and was very pleased. Come because you like good food, made to order, in a casual low-key setting. Come back because it's that good.

Those jalapeño hush puppies mmmmm! And a vegan taco that's actually been thought through and created with a unique recipe - I'm sold! The Edward taco has an edamame fritter that is delicious and genius! It's filling too and with healthy protein (for just $3.50). Taco Tuesday's offer $2 tacos btw. They make it on a white corn tortilla so it's also gluten-free friendly.

After just happening to stumble into a gem like Sour Duck across the street, it'd be fair to say I was both curious and hopeful that Austin Daily Press might deliver the same, awesome experience. While their photos on Yelp didn't look quite as impressive, most of their reviews (and ratings) were just as positive and glowing. Which, unfortunately, might also be why the experience left me feeling so mixed. Some good things to be sure, but some not so good things, as well. All in all? It certainly makes this review a bit painful to write! Now, compared to their neighbor across the way, Austin Daily Press is far more casual. In a sense, it's almost like a food truck (food shack?), with a half dozen or so picnic tables in a make shift "garden" under a canopy to shield you from the sun. However, despite the relatively modest set-up, the menu is pretty legit. Although it's not super extensive, their array of offerings is pretty enticing, featuring tortas, paninis, classic and brioche sandwiches, tacos, salads, and starters/snacks. No joke - I had so many problems trying to figure out what to get, I moved myself to the back of our group just to buy myself more time to decide! -- NACHO NACHOS - Pork Belly Carnitas, Black Beans, Goat Cheese Yogurt, Queso, and Red Cabbage Salad...$11 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/austin-daily-press-austin-4?select=nrePS6vCAbxSxK0f-NAYHQ) This alone might have been worth five stars. The carnitas were juicy and flavorful and the yogurt added a bit of brightness. However, I loved the queso and chips; the former was delicious and had a nice kick while the latter was crispy and just slightly thick. AWESOME. -- TINY SLIDER FLIGHT - Three Slider Versions of their Tortas *** Lucille - Lemongrass Braised Pork Shoulder, Escabeche, Aji Amarillo Aioli, Ginger Chimichurri, Cucumber & Yellow Onion, Red Cabbage Salad *** Cuban - Pork Belly Carnitas, Black Forest Ham, House Pickles, Aioli, Spicy Mustard, Swiss, White Cheddar *** The O.G. - Black Forest Ham, Grilled Onions, Spicy Ranch, White Cheddar, Swiss (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/austin-daily-press-austin-4?select=rl-FHOBbvxQPcjqqFm6--Q) Since it seemed like they're known for their tortas, this seemed like the best way to try as many as possible. Sadly, though, these didn't really do it for me. Of the three, I liked The O.G. the most, as the ham, onions, ranch and cheeses mixed well together. The Cubano was decently tasty as well, but the Lucille was a miss for me (a little busy and didn't care for the red cabbage. However, the bread killed it for me - super airy and dry, which just sucked all the flavors away. Even though I wasn't overly impressed with what I had, I think it'd also be fair to say that my experience was a little more atypical. Between how good so many of their dishes looked (both on the menu and in photos on Yelp), as well as their glowing reviews and how much my friends seemed to enjoy their orders (which were different than what I had), perhaps I just didn't get the right things. Sliders aside, there's denying that the nachos were just THAT GOOD. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down.

Absolutely delicious pork belly taco, and excellent service with a smile! Lovely outdoor space too. Thank you! Definitely recommend!

The jalapeño hush puppies are the JAM! I could go there and eat a bucket of them. Also had the cuban sandwich which was delicious and the wife and daughter split the tux and the cajun both were very good. I will be back and sample some more of their fare.

I used Austin Daily Press to cater an important event at my home, my cousin's baby shower; I speak for my entire extended family when I say.... WOW. Everything was so delicious (my photo isn't great because everyone scarfed the fried chicken in a matter of minutes)! Their menu is perfect if you want to serve "a taste of Texas", with dishes like Jalapeño Hush Puppies, Pimento Cheese, and Pork Sliders. Also, many dishes came in individual servings, which made presentation/serving really easy on my end! I will definitely be using ADP again for personal and professional catering needs!

I've given up on this place. Always tried to like it and just never did. Keep giving them more chances and every time there's some sort of issue. Today I ordered in advance on DoorDash and showed up and they hadn't even looked at their tablet. Rather than apologize and make it right somehow, guy tried to explain how it's a new system and blah blah blah. Not my problem, homie. Wasted an extra 15 minutes waiting on food I ordered in advance purely to give them another try before I headed to work. When the food was ready the guy just threw it on there pick up rack and didn't even let me know. Now gonna be late to work. Never again, I'm done.

The Edward torta is a really solid vegetarian option. The bread is soft and the edamame fritters taste flavorful and healthy. The portions were just the right size (filling but not heavy). Looking forward to trying more of their food. 4.5 / 5

Their pork belly tacos are low-key some of the best tacos in Austin. This is high quality pork and you'll end up wanting to mop up the fat at the bottom of the foil. Being able to add a small order of hush puppies to any order is really nice, too.

*REVIEW FOR CATERING* For our office staff lunch, we had the Citrus Grilled Chicken, Pork Shoulder, and Grilled Carrots & Cauliflower Chorizo as part of our main entrees. For our sides, we had the Rice & Beans, Grilled Corn, and the Arugula & Red Cabbage Salad w/ Lime Vinaigrette. Chicken is a huge staple at our office! The idea of citrus in chicken is ALWAYS a good idea. However, the chicken was extremely dry! To make matters worse, so was the rice... What actually saved the chicken was using the Lime Vinaigrette from our salad to moisten it. The Pork Shoulder was EXCEPTIONAL! It was so tender and juicy and paired well with the Grilled Corn. The only thing missing? Cotija cheese & chili lime butter. MMM

Loved the ease of ordering and the vegan menu options were fantastic! Will definitely go back.

unbelievable service from Ryan and Chad. great dudes, excellent food, and ask for a recommendation for what to get when you come up!

Another great eatery apart of the MLK community that offers HUGE tortas (sandwiches) that are so, unique? Each torta offers extremely different ingredients which entails an unique experience with each. You could get the Canadian Tuxedo and be amazed by the equation of ingredients in it but then get the Deville and think, "is this the same restaurant?" The consistency of each sandwich is present solely through the bun and the marination of its meats, but the combination of ingredients offers such a euphoric experience. Besides the tortas, they offer bowls, tacos, paninis, and other assortments of small bits. My absolute favorite being the jalapeño hush puppies (it melts in the mouth and is so savory (and somewhat sweet?)) Highly recommend

Came in at 8:30pm after getting off of work late. This place shares a parking lot with Juice land and a bar. The shack was empty when I got there. The I ordered 6 jalapeño hush puppies and the Deville torta sandwich. The food came out pretty quickly. The Deville had a very fresh chicken taste to it. The hush puppies were crisp and soft and tasted really good, especially with the sauce. I highly recommend getting some with your order. I'll definitely come here again and try something else.

Very pleasantly surprised by Austin Daily Press, a lot of innovative stuff coming out of a sandwich trailer deep in the East side. Despite being a devoted carnivore, I really loved the grilled pineapple & ginger chimichurri panini. I didn't even realize it was a veggie option until I was halfway done with it! My wife had the Lucille and wasn't a fan, given that the pork was extremely salty. We were both bowled over by the hushpuppies, it's worth the trip out solely for those! Plus we need to check out free beer Friday

Stopped here to get lunch one bite summer afternoon and had a fair experience. I got the Edward (edamame fritters) on cauliflower rice. The reason for the three starts is that the everything apart from edamame fritters tasted very boring and did not come together well in terms of flavor. The cauliflower rice was soggy. Add to that the flies enjoying the dining area... Next time, I will stick to their traditional sandwiches.

As much as it pains me to do this, I have to give ADP 3 less stars than what I originally rated them because they got rid of their 1 and only sandwich that was my favorite, the Pineapple Express torta. I don't know why they decided to drop this from the menu but it was the most perfect sandwich I had ever had in Austin, it had ham, chicken, pineapple and melted cheese... it was SO good. Not only did they get rid of this sorcery, but they changed their torta bread to some dry ass ciabatta bread too. I hate it. Also, they no longer cut your torta in half so it's so hard to eat!!! I am very disappointed in ADP and their business strategy in deciding to drop the Pineapple Express and change their torta bread. I used to recommend this place to everyone I know, but now I tell them to stay far away!

Amazing food! The Rudy Torta is probably the best sandwich I've had in years. Highly recommend.

I had the munchies & i risked going to a new place, considering i just moved into the neighborhood. Holy Fuck. I am ~blown away~ this is the best sandwich i've ever eaten. I am crying a little. Thank you, ADP. This is the beginning of a love story

I love their pork taco (very non traditional and taste like curry) it is so filling! Tortas are great and I love their hush puppies as well. Lemonades are super tasty and not too pricey. Highly recommend for a quick yummy lunch!

Always make a stop here when I come into Austin. The hush puppies are awesome. Staff is nice. Good quality food too!
