Authentic Xinjiang Uyghur BBQ skewers, charcoal grilled meats, outdoor seating
"If you’re bad with directions, just follow the savory smell of grilled meats wafting from the charcoal grills at Camino Alamo BBQ, a small food-trailer operation in Northwest Austin that specializes in Uyghur-style Xinjiang kabobs. There are three options for grilled skewers—lamb, beef, and chicken wings—that all get marinated in a mixture of cumin, salt, pepper, and Sichuan peppercorn before cooking over a tiny charcoal grill attached to the front of the trailer. It feels a little like a scrappy pop-up—and at one point it was—but it’s also a testament to how great the simple combination of fire and meat can really be.." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"If you’re bad with directions, just follow the savory smell of grilled meats wafting from the charcoal grills at Camino Alamo BBQ, a small food trailer operation on The Drag near UT that specializes in Uyghur-style Xinjiang kabobs.

Food arrives on metal skewers over metal trays, but you can fancy up the whole experience with a side of lamb pilaf or some grilled pineapple. It’s a one-man operation so just be warned that food can take a little while if there’s a line. photo credit: Nicolai McCrary" - Nicolai McCrary
"A showcase of elemental cooking where super-simple Xinjiang skewers highlight the combined power of fire and meat; the skewers feel immediate and street-food authentic, making for a memorable, elemental eating experience." - Erin Russell
